She is a very detail oriented and organized gem. She lives by her schedule and has every minute of her life planned. She is shown to get increasing violent and unhinged when she is made late by other gems. Normally shares fighting and is well aware her place isn't on the battle field,she is a firm believer in the caste system of homeworld. She has stated on many occasions to have been made on Space Australia.
While on earth she was shown to be a very quick thinker and manipulative gem. After observing the CGs with Högbomite she quickly discovered that they rarely interacted with the citizens of beach city, she also figured that she could use clothes to cover her gemstone so it wouldn't appear in her shapeshifted human disguise. She used Hogbomite to spy on citizens and figure out their desires and frustrations and utilized them to run a successful campaign against Mayor Dewey. She even ran a fear campaign against the crystal gems by having Ice capture and release corrupted gems and allowing them to cause damage that she blamed on the CGs. Overall she proved herself to be an impressive politician.
History[]
Lodestone was made on the homeworld colony Space Australia in facet 61, she was assigned to be an explorer for Blue Diamond and went on to search for planets to make colonies on. During one of these trips she ended up on a planet that wasn't claimed by any diamond, but was being used as a test facility by Yellow Diamond. She saw many feral corrupted gems running around and assumed they were grown there. She met Hogbomite while she was still only Semi-Corrupted and stayed with her until she became fully corrupted. they have been inseparable ever since.
She was around during the war, and while she didn't help in battle as a member of Blue Diamond's court she worked to relay information to troops, she fled earth with the others before the Diamond's weapon went off, and even save flint.
She returned to earth over 5000 years later with Ice when Blue Diamond wanted to recolonize it, her mission was to use her ship to get geological content for the whole planet, to do this she needed to stay in one place for along period of time, and not be interrupted by the crystal gems. She did this by running for mayor in Beach city under the alias of a human named Ms. Maggie and won. Eventually Steven figured out that She was a home world gem which lead to Lodestone leading Ice, Serpentinite, and a couple corrupted gems they caught in a battle through out beach city against the crystal gems. Lodestone was defeated by Cuprite and the citizens of beach city who turned against her and bubbled in the burning room. Hogbomite was able to free her and she is currently fused as Epidote roaming the earth trying to figure out their identity.

Blue Diamond[]
Lodestone is extremely loyal to her diamond, and will follow her orders without fail. She thinks there is no greater way to praise her diamond than to find suitable places to build new colonies. Blue Diamond respects her as the manager of all the other Lodestones, but as she is a rather low class gem who is replacable she doesn't care that much for her. Despite this she put her in charge of Ice so she must have some confidence in her.

Högbomite[]
Högbomite is Lodestone's best friend, she is a corrupted gem who you can usually see perched on Lodestone's shoulders.

Lodestone relies on her abilities to fly and share sight with any gem to help her on her expeditions.
