CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character Name: Amethyst
Age: Around six thousand years
Canon: Steven Universe
Canon Point: After Jailbreak
Character Information: http://steven-universe.wikia.com/wiki/Amethyst
Personality: In ‘Tiger Millionaire’, Amethyst tells Steven that “You can’t let anybody make you feel like garbage.” When he asks if that’s how she feels, she insists, “I only feel how I wanna feel” – which pretty much sums up her approach to life. Amethyst has a lot of deep-seated insecurity about her origins as a ‘parasite’ and the fact that the only home she’s ever had is a planet that was damaged in order to create her, but she conceals it behind an extremely blunt, casual, vulgar exterior. She conceals it so well, in fact, that Pearl, who has known her for five thousand years, was convinced that she was defiantly proud of where she came from, rather than ashamed and convinced that her teammates thought less of her for it.
The fact that her more upbeat traits often obscure the stuff she’d prefer not to acknowledge doesn’t mean that she’s faking it, though. Amethyst isn’t pretending to be something she’s not – if anything, her coping mechanism is basically to be herself as hard as possible and to hell with anyone who has a problem with it. Amethyst does what she wants, often without regard for the consequences, and what she wants is usually ill advised, kind of disgusting, or both. She says in ’Steven the Swordfighter’ that she’s the Crystal Gem most frequently prone to having her physical form damaged so badly that she has to retreat into her gem, and with how eager she is to, for example, be thrown at things in battle, it’s not hard to believe. She acts pretty spectacularly unconcerned over her own wellbeing – when her gem is damaged and her physical body is glitching as a result she doesn’t seem very bothered by it at all (‘now I have this cool googly eye’), and the accident that damaged her gem in the first place was the result of her messing around on the edge of a cliff.
She loves to eat, sleep and fight, despite the fact that eating and sleeping aren’t biologically necessary for gems – where Pearl finds the idea of eating repulsive, Amethyst thinks how weird and gross it is makes it cool and fun. (Of course, the fact that eating is something she does just for shits and giggles means that what she eats is often kind of… unusual… like months-old burritos or just the cheese packets from boxed macaroni.) In general Amethyst likes things that are weird or ‘janky’, like the ‘great junk’ she discourages Greg from throwing out or the heaps of hoarded rubbish that she keeps in her room – she’s drawn to stuff that other people might not appreciate so much, although it’s probably less to do with seeing the beauty in all things the way Rose Quartz did and more because valuing things that other people think are ugly garbage makes her feel better about herself. (There's probably a bit of that self-loathing tied up in how enthusiastic about shapeshifting Amethyst is – but more than that Amethyst is broadly speaking a very physical person, and taking full advantage of her malleable form is just one more expression of that.)
Although Amethyst is generally extremely laid-back, when she’s upset she gets angry, lashing out at others either physically, like her fight with Pearl in ‘On The Run’, or emotionally, like when she shapeshifts into Rose to get at Greg, who she blames for the fact that her surrogate mother figure is gone. She also often chafes against the older gems’ less loose approach to things, especially Pearl – while Amethyst sometimes turns to Garnet for validation, her relationship with Pearl is strained, and it’s implied that this has worsened since Rose Quartz ‘died’, both of them having taken her loss very hard. All the same, the Crystal Gems are Amethyst’s family, and she cares for them a lot, if in a rude teenager kind of way. She’s the least responsible of the gems by miles, but she’s still very protective of Steven, even if she doesn’t always act in his best interests (indulging his desire to run away from home, for example, or encouraging him to make dangerous jumps onto floating rocks). When she realises something she’s done has hurt him, though, like when she realises he’s seen her lashing out at his dad, she’s genuinely contrite – like the other gems, she loves Steven and taking care of him is perhaps her top priority.
