Gem location influences personality
So by now a lot of people have noted that gem locations and gem personalities are linked. Below Iβve compiled a list of how a gemβs personality is linked to their gem placement. This may lead us to predict traits of certain gems before we get to know them.
Forehead (Pearl and Peridot): Forehead gems seem to more intellectually-oriented and both Pearl and Peridot show symptoms of Aspergerβs Syndrome
Eye (Eyeball/Rubeye, various monsters): The one eyepatch gem weβve seen was grim and mysterious. Both are classical personality traits of βthe grizzled veteranβ
Nose (Jasper): The only nose gem weβve seen, Jasper, is both literally and figuratively βHard Nosedβ
Collar (Yellow and Blue Pearl): The collar, in the sense of a dog collar, symbolizes a lack of self-possession or ownership. The two gems with collar gems weβve seen are both pearls, a slave caste who both appear loyal to and fearful of their masters.
Chest (Amethyst, Yellow and Blue Diamond, Doc, Bismuth [citation needed]): Chest gems are emotional and quickly angered, with their gem located right over their heart.
Navel (Rose, Steven, Navy): Navel gems tend to be significantly more sensitive and feminine than normal. Understandable given that the navel, the scar left behind by the umbilical cord, is symbolic of a maternal connection and feminine influence
Back (Lapis Lazuli): The one back gem weβve seen, Lapis Lazuli is unable to leave the past behind her and it always looking back at what sheβs left behind
Left Bicep (Army): A sign of brute strength. Army was noticeably more quiet and muscular befitting the strong, silent type.
Palm of Right Hand (Sapphire): The palm is symbolic of love (holding hands) as well as taking matters into oneβs own hands, and the right is associated with strength and influence (regarding her title) βdoing the right thingβ as sapphire did when she gave up her title for the gem who protected her
Palm Of The Left Hand (Ruby):Β The Left on the other hand is associated with counterculture and subversive behavior, such as Ruby breaking the taboo of mixed-gem fusion
Back of Left Thigh (Leggy/Nuby): The one gem we met with a leg gem was overly cautious and easily frightened. The gem placement may symbolize a desire to turn tail and run away
EDIT:Β I should probably mention something else:
Gem location symbolism doesβt apply to most fusions, but the few it does apply to all have a singular trait in common: They lost themselves in the fusion
Both Hands: Garnet takes matters into her own hands and lets her fists do the talking
Both Hands and Chest: Sugilite is combines strength with emotion to get wanton violenceΒ
Back and Nose: Loss and wrath combine in Malachite to create a creature consumed by a desire for revenge against Steven
Okay, wow, thatβs a big info dump, but what exactly do we do with this information?
