Minaj, I think.

In terms of personality, it would stand to reason that Yellow Diamond is probably a hardliner, given the overall "Kill planets to make more gems" nature of the species and the cold, un-empathetic behavior exhibited by those who are loyal to her. It's possible that the blue and white diamonds, assuming they exist, provided a counter-balance to that attitude and left Yellow unchallenged after they got iced on Earth, which would explain why modern gems like Peridot are even more ruthless than older gems like Jasper. All of which does rest on the assumption that the chest-sized white and blue diamond-shaped gems we've seen on Earth are the same chest-sized, diamond-shaped gems we've seen depicted in the murals and statue.

I don't know, I feel like after captured, some gems are used in tools. And I'm not certain about the whole ruthless thing. It seemed like until Rose came along they were overall ruthless as a whole. Sure, the gems are nice people. But they can be and sometimes are ruthless beings. Well, actually, they're kinda less "empathetic" then they are ruthless. Rose was probably one in a million to start empathetic. Then everyone else realized it and went for it. But deep down inside, they all can be a bit ruthless, so there's a chance that changed, but I just think of them as slightly ruthless to get their way.

But to be honest, they probably have their reasons to kill or destroy anyone or thing in their way.
