Amethyst (XB130)

Amethyst is an Homeworld soldier, and escort of the Sphalerite Science Team 1L3X-0PB. She works as the bodyguard of Sphalerite and her Pearl.

Appearance
This Amethyst, differently from the Crystal Gem one, is a fully grown Quartz, about the same size as Jasper. However, her body shape is still slightly rounder than the latter's. Her color scheme and facial features are the same as CG Amethyst, but her hair is tied in a ponytailinstead of flowing freely. Her gemstone is located where her navel would be.

She wears a crop top with a low neckline, a band tied around her underbreasts, biker shorts, and white socks that reach her mid shin. She has diamonds on the top of her feet and in the back of her hands.

Personality
Despite being a highly-trained soldier like Jasper, Amethyst is relatively chilland laid back, like the Crystal Gem one. However, she still displays somewhat more maturity than the latter, and knows how the get serious and get a job quickly done when needed.

Skillset

 * Spiked Armor Proficiency: Like Jasper, Amethyst's weapon isn't a traditionally offensive one. She uses a spiked armor made of amethyst crystals, which she exploits to perform heavy physical attacks and to deter enemies from attacking her blindly.

Unique Abilities

 * Spin Dash: Like CG Amethyst and Jasper, Amethyst can rapidly roll into a ball-like shape to attack enemies.
 * Spike Ball: By doing a Spin Dash while wearing her spiked armor, Amethyst can pull off her signature Spike Ball attack, which swiftly tramples over a large numbers of enemies.

Trivia

 * Amethyst's Spike Ball is partly inspired by the ability of the same name used by Bowser in the videogame Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story.
