Jasper, with a flamethrower and a smoothie:

“Well he does not need to know that you have one, besides for a stong gem like you the size should not be a problem” 

“...well,”

Smiles, looks down, and kicks up a pile of recently uprooted grass blades.

“Well, would you look at that? I kicked your grass.”

“NO!

“Why don’t you just et a flamethrower?”

“When I do, do you plan on calling me your diamond, too?”

“NO! 

Jasper in the Crystal Gem Swap AU? Absolutely the one that was entirely dependent on Rose’s leadership. Well, not so much leadership as “her orders”. Consider Rose the main Captain while Jasper was the tactical officer. Unless Rose veto’d it, Jasper was technically in charge while Rose supervised. 

Even though they fought for independence? Jasper never really... got it. She was still loyal to a fault to Rose to the point where she’s barely functional afterward. Just... does what Rose last told her to do. Protect Steven and the other Gems. So that’s what she does, without much deviating for bonding or anything of the sort. 

This would change after the first time she fused with Pirl, because that’s... not something you did. Being so stuck as a Soldier, suddenly doing something that’s so wildly taboo would be freeing to her in a way. She’d still be herself, though she won’t be nearly as.. standoffish.
