Flint is a Gem that debuted in "Homeworld Bound". She was released from a forced fusion, with the help of Yellow Diamond.
Appearance[]
Flint is stout and relatively tall, having a pale gray-blue complexion. She has long, messy, dark-blue hair and bushy eyebrows. She wears a beige vest fastened with silver clips and grey bell-bottom pants, tucked into a pair of black boots. She also has a black sash tied around her waist. Her gemstone has a hexagonal facet and is located on her chest. Compared to other Quartzes, she's a tad bit shorter. Flint's torso is much more compact, and she has less defined hips and a thicker, shorter waist. Her lips are similarly less prominent, a trait she shares with her friend Chert. It's quite possible that she's defective in some way, due to not having a "proper" Quartz structure.
History[]
Pre-Series[]
Sometime before the events of the series Flint was deemed defective for having a moral detachment to fighting and was shattered.[1] Her shards were then used in one of Yellow Diamond's early forced fusion experiments.
"Homeworld Bound"[]
Chert watched Yellow Diamond reassemble Flint's gemstone, by placing the shards, piece by piece. When she reformed, her limbs were stretched out, due to her gemstone missing a few pieces. Luckily, Yellow used her powers to fix Flint's limbs and return them to their normal size. Chert then welcomes her back and happily hugs her friend.
"The Future"[]
While Steven is driving away from Beach City, she and Chert are seen posing, while Pink Pearl takes their picture.
Abilities[]
Flint possesses standard Gem abilities: bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, gravity shifting, photokinesis, gem storage, and superhuman strength/durability.
Unique Abilities[]
- Spin Dash: Although it was never shown, Flint is a Quartz soldier, enabling her to rapidly roll in a ball-like shape to attack enemies.
