Talk:Holly Blue Agate/@comment-25501551-20170212033758

Just how violent a disciplinarian was Holly Blue? Given the amount of time she devoted to bullying the Amethysts, and how they seem to fear her, I have the unnerving feeling that her use of physical discipline went beyond punches and kicks. Especially given that according to Yellow Diamond is "terrify" -- discipline other gems through fear. Brutal physical discipline is probably common in Homeworld's military, especially when dealing with cannon-fodder like Rubies (who might well find themselves been poofed or even shattered for relatively minor offenses).

I also wonder if Agates are involved in interrogations like the one endured by Lapis Lazuli on her return to Homeworld. Whatever happened there scared Lapis to death and scarred her for life, leading to her insistence that Homeworld was invincible and Steven was no match for them. Lapis is no coward, but she was clearly unprepared for whatever happened (and given later events may well be the poster gem for Stockholm Syndrome).
