Yellow Diamond

Yellow Diamond's History

Yellow Diamond, or Yellow for short, is a Homeworld Gem and a member of the Great Diamond Authority that formerly ruled over the Gem race. In particular, she commanded her now-disbanded military and oversaw Gem production on her colonies. She was first shown in the extended theme song before making her official debut in "Message Received".

As a result of Era 3, Yellow now works to repair Gems she had previously shattered in her Cluster experiments and wishes to use her powers to help other Gems alter their physical form if they choose to do so.

Ancient History

Yellow Diamond has existed for thousands of years. Over time, she amassed a great amount of respect, colonies, and Gems. It is revealed in "Your Mother and Mine" that some of Yellow Diamond's many colonies are asteroid fields that are used as mines.

Although she sometimes clashed with Pink Diamond, Yellow Diamond had a very close relationship with her. Along with the other Diamonds, she would attend many of Pink's parties in celebration of the Diamond Authority's achievements. All of the Diamonds would come to her pool area, where Pink would stand underwater and sing, while she, White and Blue attempted to guess the song.

During her colonization of the Jungle Moon's planet, Yellow had Pink observe her. To the latter's amazement, she commanded a fleet of Nephrites to begin colonizing the planet, disregarding their concerns of organic life on the surface. Pink's fascination became an annoyance to Yellow since she began to play around with her control panel, so the latter eventually scolded the former for her immaturity.

Over 6,000 Years Ago

In "Reunited", Yellow reveals that she eventually gave into Pink's begging and allowed her to run a colony. When Pink later no longer wanted to colonize Earth, Yellow scolded and told her to finish what she had started.
