Amber (Gem Queens)

The Blazing Amber, also known by her nickname, Tyra, was an elite Homeworld gem and a member of the Gem Queens.

She, along side her amber sisters, were created to serve Homeworld not a particular diamond. Instead, they were deployed as a whole on behalf of the Diamond Authority to crush Homeworlds foes and threats to gem-kind. Tyra distinguished herself amongst her sisters almost immediately and was feared throughout the stars for her terrifying displays on the battlefield.

However, as Tyra powers and infamy grew, so did her ego. Soon, the amber gem began refusing orders and acting on her own accord. It was not long before even the Diamonds could not bring her to heel, and she was considered a dangerous rogue element. The Diamond authority sought to quash the rebellious gem before more damage could be done, and sent a small army of gems to retake her.

What followed was nothing short of a massacre, with Tyra shattering and poofing almost all the gems sent to apprehend her. Only a lone, off-color, Sapphire managed to emerge unharmed, taken as prisoner by Tyra to held evade further attacks from Homeworld.

They were eventually led to Mother by Sapphires visions, and Tyra was only too happy to become a gem queen. Now she seeks to punish the Diamond Authority who tried to destroy her, with flaming sword and stolen shield in hand.
