I know what you're thinking, "Oh, well, she has a diamond on her outfit doesn't she?" Yes, yes she does, but it's not necessarily yellow, now is it? It's dark blue- you might think that doesn't matter because the crystal gems have different coloured stars and whatnot, but Jasper and Peridot- two gems clearly devoted to Yellow Diamond- have the same coloured diamond, don't they? Now why would a green gem and an orange gem have yellow on their outfits? Because their leader is yellow. Yellow diamond from what we know must have been stone cold and merciless, so it would make sense for gems below



them to stay cautious- why else would the diamonds on Jasper and Peridot's outfits be yellow? To not upset Yellow Diamondand to keep close to them. Nnow, what about Lapis? Who would she follow? Well, simple, another ruling diamond- Blue Diamond. I present to you the subject of today's topic- a diamond much rarer than the regular diamond you see everywhere- Blue Diamond.

Pretty, ain't it? Well, imagine this, Homeworld, ruled by 4 gems, Yellow Diamond, a ruthless, seemingly emotionless gem, that ruled over the vast industrial lands of the planet, Blue Diamond, a laid back yet blunt leader, watching over the vast seas and the gems that grew there, another diamond we know nothing about yet, and Rose Diamond, a caring and kind ruler who watched over the life and flora of the land, not to mention the lives of most gems, that is, until the rebellion. Rose Diamond saw that Yellow Diamond was planning an attack on a planet full of beautiful fauna and flora and various intelligent and interesting life forms- she knew she had to stop them. She tried to reason with Yellow Diamond, insisting that they cease attack on the planet, but Yellow Diamond refused, calling Rose a pitiful and weak ruler, unfit for her role, so, Rose resigned, fleeing to Earth with the gems that followed her mindset. She went by the new name Rose Quartz and defended Earth from the invading army of Yellow Diamond, many gems' lives were lost, but ultimately Rose and her army won. Now what about Blue Diamond? Well, at the time she was sending various troops to help Yellow Diamond, for she was greedy and wanted the vast oceans of Earth. Where was Lapis? Why, Lapis led the airforces- Gems who could use their gemstones to produce wings for arial attacks, ultimately though, Lapis was trapped in a mirror, sealed away until the events of Mirror Gem and Ocean Gem. At least that's my headcanon, anyway.
