First Jasper we met, who disdained her for being small, with the only Gem mentioning it being the Carnelian cheering about no longer being the shortest amongst them. Oh, Crap!: One of the Amethyst guards has this reaction when Holly Blue Agate catches Greg and Steven outside of the zoo. Orange/Blue Contrast: The Jaspers are orange-skinned and wear standard Blue Diamond uniforms. Palette Swap: Most of them resemble a purple version of that Jasper. Fortunately, that's where the similarities end. Planet of Steves: All of them are named Amethyst or Jasper, except for the one Carnelian. However, to offset this, they also avert the Race-Name Basis that the Crystal Gems follow by casually using their facet cuts. The Prankster: Just like the Crystal Gems' Amethyst, it seems. Their first appearance has them making a fool out of Steven and Greg by pretending to be an evil bunch who're holding poor Amethyst hostage, but then they burst into laughter and reveal it was all a joke. Punch-Clock Villain: Despite working for Homeworld, they're hardly malicious to the Crystal Gems and even help them in rescuing Greg from the Human Zoo. They laugh and joke with Amethyst, and they make no attempt to stop the Crystal Gems from returning to Earth, even giving them a friendly wave goodbye. Race-Name Basis: Averted, as they seem to use their Cut numbers (8XL, 8XJ, 8XG, etc.) as their identifying names. Really 700 Years Old: They were formed in the Earth Kindergartens around the time of the war, making them at least 5,000 years old. Reassigned to Antarctica: Holly Blue's prejudice against them for being made on Earth hints they were all posted at the very remote Zoo to keep them out of sight of the other Homeworld Gems (and possibly to be another reminder of Pink Diamond for Blue Diamond to visit). Regal Ringlets: Amethyst 8XJ has tube-like curls in her hair similar to Rose Quartz's. Not surprising, as they were both made by Pink Diamond for her court. The Runt at the End: When our Amethyst shows up, Carnelian is seen running around while carrying Amethyst over her head and joyfully celebrating because "[she's] not the shortest anymore!" Sad Clown: They seem to get through Holly Blue's abuse by being jovial jokesters. The Slacker: Skinny seems incredibly laid back, not caring about anything, as she teases the Amethysts for being "cliquey". Quite the opposite of her perfectly-formed sister. Super-Soldier: Quartzes are produced by Homeworld to be soldiers, so naturally this is what they are. Technicolor Eyes: The Amethysts have purple eyes, the Jaspers have yellow eyes, and the lone Carnelian has orange eyes. There Is Another: Their appearance confirms the existence of other Kindergarten-born
