Rebecca Sugar's concept artwork for the Rubies state that Leggy Ruby was "made yesterday". So, apparently, Leggy Ruby's a day old and being sent to Earth to find Jasper in Hit the Diamond is her first mission. So, she's basically like a little baby, even though she's an ageless, full grown gem. And she doesn't act like a baby (like how I thought brand new gems would act when they first emerge, I mean, she can walk, talk, and doesn't put things in her mouth like a baby), she acts more like a small child, but, has a few aspects of a baby, she's shy (little babies don't like it people, other than their moms come up to them, they get scared, but, it could be that shyness is just part of her personality, I don't know) and she seems curious and fascinated with her surroundings (kind of like how babies are curious about the world around them and fascinated with it, and learns about the world, by looking around and putting things in their mouths, even though she put nothing in her mouth, but, I think I saw her looking around a little, but, it could be that she's on Earth and she's not familiar with that planet, but, since she's a day old, she could still be getting familiar with Homeworld, Earth, and now, Neptune).

Well, this gives me more information on how brand new gems act when they first emerge and probably the first 50 or 100 years of life and it looks like my "gems act like babies when they first emerge and for the first 50 years of their lives" has been proven wrong, and since Leggy Ruby's just a day old, she pretty much just emerged and she acts like a small child with some baby aspects (but, it could be just part of her personality, it's hard to tell at this point). So, basically, brand new gems or newly created gems act like small children with some baby aspects (but, it could be just Leggy Ruby, but, it's unknown if this applies to all brand new gems at this point).

And it appears, despite being a day old, Leggy Ruby can use her gem powers, she can fuse.

Looks like my "gems learn how to use their gem powers later on life" theory has been proven wrong, too. I guess what they've shown with Leggy Ruby, gems (except for non-fighter gems like Peridots and Pearls) already know how to use their gem powers from the time they first emerge (wow! imagine Lapis already using her hydrokinesis as a minute old gem, like her seeing something she wants to see, and probably touch it, so she grabs and pulling it so she over using a water hand, lol).

Well, now we know more about brand new gems, they act like small children with some baby aspects (I'm gonna say that until we see more brand new gems like Leggy Ruby) and already know how to use their gem powers when first emerge (like I said before, Leggy Ruby pretty much just emerged, she's just a day old).

Also, it's basically been implied that gems age mentally and mature slowly (that's been shown with Lapis, Amethyst, and Peridot, since Lapis and Amethyst act like teenagers and Peridot acts like a child), but, it looks like gems start off as acting like small children with some baby aspects (again, I'm saying that until we see more brand new gems like Leggy Ruby) then, as time passes by they mature and eventually (like thousands of years later), they start acting like fully mature adults.
