Runners (Devan4590)

Runners are a group of gems who were stranded by homeworld when they fled, but weren't corrupted. However, they fear being found by homeworld out of worry of what will happen to them.

Behavior
Most of them behave similarly to Lapis Lazuli before she settled in the barn. Runner Gems don't pose an immediate threat, however, they're more likely to flee in a tough situation rather than fight.

In case a Runner Gem attacks, it's primarily to make sure they can flee safely. The best course of action is to present yourself as not a threat. However, wearing the diamond emblem will immediately cause aggression. Runners alone are easy to handle, however, in groups they pose a threat.

Known Members

 * Cloudy Pearl: Cloudy Pearl appears to be in charge of movement. When the group routinely changes their location, Cloudy Pearl is the one who calls the shots.


 * Sternum Peridot: Head of defensive operations.


 * Pink Sapphire: Pink Sapphire predicts the next time they need to move early.


 * Benitoite: Offensive specialist.

Era-3 exclusive

 * Jasper: Jasper became a runner because they fused with Lapis and then the corrupted gem. However, Jasper's reason for not returning is "You don't know what they are capable of! I've seen a man rise from the dead! I've seen the mother of Diamonds torn apart, I've seen what SHE truly looks like!" and can never look at Homeworld the same way again.

Former Members

 * Lapis Lazuli (Canon): Lapis Lazuli was technically a runner, however, she instead was was soon caught and then she joined the Crystal gems, making her lose her status as a runner.

Trivia

 * Peridot (Canon) could have been a runner if they escaped the Crystal Gems after insulting Yellow Diamond, however, instead they joined the crystal gem, making them unable to get the runner status.
