Amethyst is a fictional character from the animated television series Steven Universe, created by Rebecca Sugar. She is voiced by Michaela Dietz.
Based on the gemstone amethyst, she is a Gem, a fictional alien being that exists as a magical gemstone projecting a holographic body, and one of the four "Crystal Gems", a group of Gems who defend Earth.[4][5] Her story arcs throughout the series mostly focus on overcoming her low self-esteem, mostly caused by her feeling inferior to other Gems.

There's a 50 50 chance to use some pronoun on Earth, so why not feminine ones-- it's as convenient as it is arbitrary!

Sugar: [...] the Gems are all non-binary women...They're coded female [...] [T]hey appear to be female, but they're a little more representative of nonbinary women. They wouldn't think of themselves as women, but they're fine with being interpreted that way amongst humans.
