Yellow Diamond

Personality:   As shown in her debut, Homeworld reputes Yellow Diamond as a perfectly logical and rational leader, though in reality, she is vindictive and quick to anger. When her followers contacted her but failed, she is rather annoyed but will offer them multiple chances to redeem themselves, as shown with Peridot and one of her Nephrites. Yellow is shown to have a blunt and "down-to-business" attitude, taking over the call Peridot was having with her Pearl to get the message that the former had quickly. She tells Holly Blue Agate to "get to the point" when she begins to ramble on, something which she did again with the prosecuting Zircon's praises. She also kept pushing to shatter Steven/Rose and get the trial over with. Yellow Diamond has a dangerous and lethal temper, treating an act of disrespect against herself or her fellow Diamonds with aggression and violence. This was shown when she detonated the Diamond Communicator with the hopes of destroying Peridot and when she attacked both Zircons. Yellow is shown to get fed up when anyone disagrees with her beliefs, including about the value of other lifeforms and the caste system's duties. She yelled at Peridot for questioning her views of the Cluster, became frustrated when the defending Zircon shed light on the idea that Rose Quartz wasn't responsible for Pink Diamond's shattering, and even went as far as to attack Blue Diamond for disobeying White Diamond's will when the former was trying to help Steven and Connie escape with the Crystal Gems. Despite being very efficient, Yellow Diamond puts forth her agenda under the guise that it's what's best for the Gem race. This is evident when she chose to reject Peridot's proposal to utilize the Earth again without ideas to not destroy the planet, despite the fact that Homeworld is low on resources as stated in "Too Short to Ride". This is also shown in "Change Your Mind" when she insists that everyone has to make sacrifices for the sake of a "perfect empire." After Steven helped her realize that her actions have done more harm than good though, Yellow changes her mindset in terms of what is really best for the empire and her beloved ones. When dealing with grief, Yellow tries to suppress her negative feelings and instead wishes to move forward. She expresses this to Blue by explaining that she should "start looking forward and stop looking back". Yellow finds it ridiculous that Blue is doing so much to preserve Pink Diamond's legacy instead of trying to move forward, opting instead to destroy Earth as it remains a tragedy for the Diamonds until the Cluster's failure. Yellow's thoughts reveal that she blames herself for Pink's fate after giving in to the latter's desire to have her own colony despite Yellow believing Pink wasn't ready for such responsibility, meaning her wish to forget about the past is her wanting to bury the guilt to lessen the pain. When Steven is revealed to be the bearer of Pink Diamond's Gem, Yellow showcases genuine concern for his well-being and safety, deciding not to attack any of the Crystal Gems or even ask Garnet to unfuse. She still adheres to Homeworld's rules and customs though, poofing Opal, Garnet, and a Jade fusion once Stevonnie forms at the Era 3 Ball and the Crystal Gems fuse to stick up for them, not attacking the latter for "Pink's" safety but instead imprisons them in a room. In "Change Your Mind", it is shown that she and Blue are in fact miserable because of White's controlling and perfectionist nature. When she finally broke down crying it was shown that she was so not used to showing her feelings that she thought that Blue was using her power on her. It is also shown that Yellow can be selfless and caring, telling Steven to take her ship and leave Homeworld while she and Blue distract White. Following the dissolution of the Great Diamond Authority's authoritarian rule of the Gem empire, the more positive attributes of Yellow's personality are put on display. In Steven Universe: The Movie, though Yellow still appears bold and retains a commanding demeanor, she has also allowed herself to be more open-minded in terms of humor. Previously, Yellow was shown to briefly laugh but usually remained a serious attitude. However, Yellow now isn't afraid to laugh herself to tears in front of others, and while she still wishes to remain professional, she is about to "let loose" more often. When the Diamonds adopt Spinel, Yellow is shown to be as caring as ever, just as she was with Blue Diamond in the original series. In "Homeworld Bound", Yellow Diamond's personality has evidently changed for the better. She expresses deep remorse over her Gem experiments, joyfully and willingly fixing the Gems she once shattered, and even states her intentions to heal the Gems from the Cluster. Additionally, she obliges to Spinel's requests, and becomes helpful towards Steven, chastising him for his newfound temper issues, and ordering him to go to Blue for assistance when she is unable to cure him. In "I Am My Monster", Yellow, the other Diamonds, and Spinel work to save Steven from himself alongside the Crystal Gems. At one instance, Yellow and Blue both break down, believing they are the cause of Steven's suffering due to the way they had previously behaved.
