Who was commonly known as one of the nicest owners on homeworld, when Calcite betrayed homeworld, Cuprite fled to earth with her. There she fully embraced her new found freedom and has vowed to protect the planet with the Crystal gems.

Personality[]
| “ |
Cuprite? Yeah she is a little crazy, random, annoying, gluttonous, and likes to get a little too dirty for me. But she is one of the kindest, most fun, and lovable gems I know! |
” |
| Yellow Calcite | ||
Cuprite acts very young, and is very childish and impressionable, but very loyal. She is kind almost to a fault and like Steven and tries to see the best in everyone. While she may act very childish she isn't stupid, as a matter of fact she sees problems in a unique way and her creativity is one of her greatest assets. She sometimes acts unpredictably and is known to have some random mood swings. She has very low self esteem and feels that most other gems are superior to her. But, she hides this behind her fun loving energetic self. She loves to eat and is constantly devouring anything she gets her hands on as long as someone says it OK. She loves nothing more than to please anyone she calls Sama if she receives approval she gets super happy.
Since her most recent regeneration Cuprite has been much more confident in herself. She is now willing to act on her own without approval of older gems, and is more likely to speak her mind, even if it doesn't agree with what has previously been stated. Perhaps the biggest change is that she has actually been shown getting angry, instead of bottling up her emotions.
Vocabulary[]
She has a unique vocabulary and the honorific she attaches to someone indicates the level of respect she has for them.
"Sama" means Cuprite believes the gem is superior to her and she holds the upmost respect for them.
"Jukeisha" Means the gem is a prisoner
"Senpai" means the gem is a fusion involving herself
"Nee-chan" Means the gem is her sister, this is reserved for Yellow Calcite.
"Akuma" means the gem is evil
"This one" is what she refers to herself as.
"Raibaru" is anyone she has to face in battle who isn't necessarily her enemy.
History[]
[]
She was created exactly 7000 years before the show began and grew up in one of the many Cuprite camps. She was taken in as the protege of an older Cuprite, who she called her Nee-chan. eventually this Cuprite and most of the others she was made with was harvested, she would have been too but a noble gem named Yellow Calcite adopted her.
She was taught how to speak by Calcite, and was allowed much more freedom on home world than most servants usually get. When Yellow Diamond shattered Yellow Calcite's other "servants" for being "defective" Calcite rescued Cuprite and they fled to earth and joined the crystal gems.
On earth she took a liking to Pearl as her confidence and ability to break the social norms of a servant gem inspired her. Cuprite began to train under Pearl and eventually learned how to fight with her own sword. Sometime later she learned how to summon her Yo-Yo.
During the war Cuprite was often paired to go on covert missions with Yellow Calcite, Tiger eye and other members of the "Silicia team." They often engaged in mission related to stealth and sabotage. They frequently engaged in battle with Rubellite and Ice as well as taking part in regular larger battles. Shortly before the final battle in the Strawberry Battlefield, during a failed mission the Silicia team distraction the homeworld army allowing Rose, Garnet, Pearl and the others to escape. This resulted in Cuprite being captured and bubbled along with the rest of the team, and imprisoned in a warship. However, during the chaos of fleeing earth before the diamond's weapon went off Cuprite was accidentally freed. She released her friends and they were able to take control of the ship and return to earth. There they reconnected with Rose and the surviving crystal gems, and learned about what the diamonds did to earth.
She stayed with the Crystal Gems since then and was around when Rose Quartz gave birth to Steven and quickly befriended him when he was old enough to join the Crystal gems.

Unique Abilities []
She has a variety of abilities that are useful in helping other gems more than herself, as a reflection of her servant status. She has mastered many of these and found ways to use them much better than an average cuprite.
Switching: she can switch places with any gem, this is her most used ability and is more annoying then dangerous, however she does use this to grab items the Crystal gems need. She can also sense "Switcharoo-residue" meaning she can track gems she has switched places with multiple times.
Pain Absorption: She can absorb the physical or emotional pain from other gems into herself, she doesn't heal the injury but brings the pain of it into herself, this can make her glitch out and possibly corrupt if she absorbs to much physical pain and has been known to try and shatter her own gem if she takes to much emotional pain.
Yoyo Proficiency: her weapon summoned by pure child like innocence is her yoyo, with it she gains many abilities that stem from her creative use of its properties. Walk the dog has her yoyo spins rapidly and rushs off in a given direction, when she holds the string it allows her to travel at high speeds. Around the world she wraps it around her opponent and swings them around her head, when they hit the ground a red explosion like Amethyst's whiplash happens. Grappling she can tie up people in her yoyo's string or grab high points and pull herself up. Toe Yoyo when in very dire situations she is known to quad-wield her yoyos using one on each hand and foot. She can even make new tricks if needed
- After Bismuth modified her yoyo, the string is now made of a flexible steel like substance, making it stronger than before it also no longer conducts electricity. (only applies to post-bismuth rps)
Buffing: She can make a gem twice as fast, strong and durable as they normally are. If she cast on multiple targets the effects get weaker on each successive gem
