Yellow Diamond

"Forget about the mission! Yellow Diamond needs to see this - thing."

"Yellow Diamond" is a Homeworld Gem who is yet to be revealed. She is mentioned in "The Return", "Cry for Help" and "Catch and Release".

Appearance
Yellow Diamond appears to have a slender build and dove yellow skin. She has large, yellow irises with black pupils. Her hair is a deep yellow and styled into what appears to be a bob-cut with two spiked tips. She seems to have a pointed, upturned nose and plump lips. She has large, pointed shoulders. Her top seems to be a very dark yellow and a darkish-yellow similar to Garnet's jump-suit.

Jasper/Peridot
"This is Peridot, transmitting on all frequencies from abandoned crystal system colony planet Earth, to Yellow Diamond. My mission has been compromised, my escort and informant are gone, and I am now stranded! Please send help!"

Yellow Diamond has high authority over Jasper and Peridot, as they work for and report to her, and her emblem, a yellow diamond, can be seen on their uniforms. A silhouette of Yellow Diamond can also be seen alongside Jasper, Peridot, and Lapis Lazuli in "We Are the Crystal Gems".

In "Cry for Help", Peridot sends out a distress signal using the Communication Hub in the hopes that Yellow Diamond would send help. In "Catch and Release", Peridot claims that she's had no response from her. Yellow Diamond has also not been seen to appear in either "Back to the Barn" or "When It Rains" to assist Peridot.
