* ManipulativeBitch: As Black Pearl, the GuileHero traits she had as Rosa are twisted into this. First, she manipulates Moonstone with promises of sparing her friends to aid her in manipulating Yellow Diamond, thus allowing her to go to Earth and track down Pink Diamond's killer. Then she manipulates Steven into thinking she's an innocent runaway gem to try and get the truth out of him. It ''almost'' works, but the rest of the Crystal Gems discovered the truth and forced her to drop the act.

** A lot more subtle, but she seems to dislike other gems name-calling her. [[spoiler:When a rebel Agate calls her a freak, she gives her a DeathGlare and impales her right arm with the Stain. Later on, the Pyrite captain referring to her with this causes her to pause for a second before she answers.]]

* OneWingedAngel: Her "fusion" with all of the Pyrite soldiers into Arsenopyrite basically serves as this as unlike usual gem fusions, she entirely takes control of the fusion and keeps the exact same conscience when she was Black Pearl. As Arsenopyrite, she is absolutely ''massive'', completely towering over everyone.

* OmnicidalManiac: After she learns [[spoiler:the AwfulTruth, that Pink Diamond faked her death to become Rose Quartz]], she fully devolves into this, intent on wiping out the entire planet both to force [[spoiler:Pink Diamond out of Steven (refusing to believe she's gone)]] and as an act of petty spite towards Earth for being something her master loved more than her.

* FauxAffablyEvil: She's a ruthless, sadistic assassin who relishes in pain and torment, all while acting courteous and friendly with her victims even as she torments them. Of course, her polite demeanor is all an act to off-balance her enemies and show how little she thinks of them.



* IRejectYourReality: [[spoiler: After finding out the AwfulTruth about Pink Diamond and Rose Quartz, as well as the fact that Pink gave up her body to create Steven, Black Pearl's mind is so thoroughly broken she goes into deep denial mode, thinking that Steven is still Pink taking on a different form and all she has to do to draw her Diamond out is destroy the Earth.]]

* MaskOfSanity: Black Pearl can put up a convincing one to Steven and Connie. Though sometimes it slips, making Connie realize that there's something seriously ''wrong'' with the Gem.

* TemptingFate: After Moonstone's attempt to read her future results in nothing but vague feelings of pain, sorrow, rage and betrayal, Black Pearl dismisses the entire vision as useless. She does briefly wonder about the 'betrayal' she will supposedly feel, but then brushes it off, musing how there's no one left she could feel betrayed by. [[spoiler: As it turns out, there actually ''is'': Pink Diamond. The reveal that Pink faked her own shattering completely breaks Black Pearl.]]



* TheWorfEffect: She's shown to be an unstoppable killer, but in Episode 13, a flashback depicts her to be utterly helpless against White Diamond. For all her lethality, she's still thoroughly outclassed by beings as strong as the diamonds.

* DemotedToExtra: While her role in the story is by no means small, she ultimately gets a ''lot'' less characterization and screen-time than she does in the original.

Added DiffLines:

* NeverMyFault: In her BreakingSpeech to Pink (soon to be Black) Pearl, Yellow claims Pearl's failure to protect Pink Diamond as would have been her duty as a Pearl was the reason Pink ended up shattered. The only reason Pink Pearl wasn't at her mistresses' side when the "shattering" happened was that the other Diamonds, Yellow included, deliberately split them up to see how Pink would fare without her hypercompetent Pearl.

* FantasticRacism: Black Pearl doesn't think too highly of humans, collectively referring to them all as "mongrels". [[spoiler: This dislike turns into full-on hatred after she finds out the truth - that Pink Diamond abandoned her for those very "mongrels".]] Surp
