Her identity is so fragile that she can only judge: If she were to act or feel or want, she would open herself up to her own criticism. And any Gem's behavior can be construed by her as a personal attack if they are not behaving as she would. She needs other Gems to behave as she would-she is very poorly differentiated. But the truth behind her identity and powers is that she has no identity at all. She believes she is everyone-which is why she speaks for everyone. She sees all Gems as her, sees herself in all Gems, and judges them as she would judge herself. All Gems are made of light, and she is light manifest. White believes that because her Gem channels white light, she is essentially a Gem light-form all the time. She also wears a sleeve-worn translucent cape with black and gray stripes embedded with glimmering diamond fragments and star designs, as well as a pair of intricately detailed high heeled dress sandals.Ī flashback in ' Your Mother and Mine' shows that she had pointy fingers but no fingernails and there was no cape attached to her arms. White Diamond wears a long transparent white dress that reaches the floor and slit up both sides to her thighs and a white and grey leotard baring the same design sensibility as Pearl's top with shoulder pads. Her gemstone is located on her forehead and is a side view of a round-cut diamond.

A drawing by Rebecca Sugar reveals the obscured details, as does the Hot Topic T-shirt along with the episode 'Change Your Mind' and onward.

Her body constantly radiates a bright light which, along with her ship's brightness, probably makes her gemstone barely visible while her other features are visible because they're either black or have black outlines. She has white skin, white spiky hair in a shape similar to a star pentagon, diamond-shaped white pupils with large and full black eyelashes, light gray eyeshadow, black fingernails and shiny black lipstick. White Diamond is shown to be about a head taller than her fellow Diamonds.
