Topaz

Topaz is a Homeworld Gem and the fusion of two smaller Topazes who made her debut in "Are You My Dad?". She was sent to Earth with Aquamarine to retrieve humans for Yellow Diamond.

Appearance
Topaz's gemstones are on both sides of her head, around where her ears would be. Her components are identical, but shorter, with one having her gemstone on the left side of her head, and the other with her gemstone on her right.

Topaz has yellow hair in a short, flat top-like fashion, yellow skin, and a tinted orange visor that covers her eyes and the sides of her head. Her eyes appear to be brown.

Her outfit consists of a maroon vest with Yellow Diamond's insignia, a mahogany top underneath, and dark brown bottoms that cover her feet. She has a large, wide and muscular build with very short legs.

Personality
Topaz, like her components, is a very quiet and obedient soldier. She clearly respects the Gem hierarchy, obeying all of Aquamarine's orders instantly, wordlessly, and without question (despite being insulted by her constantly). She is seen as ruthless towards humans, being willing to kill Jamie in order to get the Crystal Gems to tell them where "my dad" was. She is also not above fighting dirty, using Steven's friends to protect herself from Garnet's attacks.

History
Topaz was sent to Earth with Aquamarine personally by Blue and Yellow Diamond to retrieve specific "variations" of humans for Pink Diamond's Zoo. These specific humans are the ones mentioned by Steven in his first interaction with Peridot in "Marble Madness".

"Doug Out"
Topaz and Aquamarine chase down Onion at Beach City Funland during the middle of the night. Once Doug Maheswaran, Steven and Connie leave the scene, Topaz and Aquamarine approach Onion and capture him.

"The Good Lars"
Topaz and Aquamarine capture Lars while he is running away from the the Cool Kids' party. After the party, the duo captures Sadie while she is walking home.

"Are You My Dad?"
Topaz and Aquamarine capture Jamie when he is out to deliver Steven's khakis. Later on in a forest, Aquamarine calls out for Topaz when she discovers Connie. Topaz approaches, making the ground shake with each step that she takes, and is shown to have each missing human inside of her body. Topaz unfuses into two. The two hold hands, charge at Connie and fuse, engulfing her in the fusion and making her part of the body with the other humans. After incapacitating Steven, Topaz and Aquamarine then exit the forest to find the last human: "my dad".

"I Am My Mom"
Topaz and Aquamarine hide at Funland where Steven and the Crystal Gems find them. At some point, the Crystal Gems begin attacking the duo, but Topaz is easily able to fend off Garnet and Amethyst on her own. When Aquamarine gets annoyed by the fight and threatens to kill the humans if they did not tell her where "my dad" is, Topaz grabs Jamie's head to emphasize the threat. Once Steven claims to be "my dad", Topaz unfuses. The two topazes engulf Steven when they refuse.

On Aquamarine's ship, Steven causes Topaz to unfuse and frees all of the humans by using his bubble. Following Aquamarine's orders, the two individual Topazes summon their maces and attempt to recapture the humans. One Topaz has difficulty attacking Steven and Connie due to Steven's bubble and shield, and is shown to be on par with Connie's swordfighting. Another Topaz picks up Sadie but lets her go when Sadie bites one of her fingers. The Topazes fuse again at some point but Topaz is still unable to recapture the humans. When Steven later gives himself up, Aquamarine, Steven, Topaz and Lars head for Homeworld.

Abilities
Topaz possesses the standard Gem abilities, most prominently Fusion, and is an extremely powerful Gem. She is heavy enough to make the ground shake just by walking, and her attacks are strong enough to easily send Garnet flying through a boarded-up carnival booth.

Skillset

 * Fusion Engulfing: Topaz's components are shown to be extremely proficient in unfusing and re-fusing rapidly around an enemy, engulfing and imprisoning them inside of their fusion.
 * Mace/Quarterstaff Proficiency: Topaz wields a long crystal-headed quarterstaff as a weapon. When apart, her components summon one-handed mace-like variants.

Aquamarine
Topaz is inferior in rank compared to Aquamarine, and as such, Topaz obeys her orders without hesitation and does not speak back,

Trivia

 * When asked why she paired Topaz and Aquamarine together, Rebecca Sugar said it was to show both sides of the very high ranking types of Blue and Yellow Gems on Homeworld.
 * This indicates that Topaz has a very high ranking on Homeworld, but not as high as Aquamarine.
