Although most Gems possess the ability to shapeshift, Amethyst uses it to her advantage the most, especially when pulling pranks. From the gemstone in her chest, she can summon a purple whip. She often encourages Steven to enjoy himself and is the only Gem to engage in eating for fun, as Gems do not require food to survive.
