Opinion towards

The diamonds: "I want to follow them just like before... But how can I when everything they do is to COVER UP PINK'S EXISTENCE?! WHERE ARE THE OLD STATUES, BANNERS, PLACES DEDICATED TO HER?! *sigh* But if talking to Uvarovite taught me anything, then it is not Blue's or Yellow's fault. It's the result of this perfectionist WHITE GRAVEL and their "shiiiiining" leader. When you think about it, isn't it strange they weren't even bothered joining the war? And thus, I have no respect for that diamond."

Crystal gems: "I acknowledge their victory. They've proven their cleverness. That being said, I'LL NEVER ACCEPT A REBEL, THAT WAS PRETENDING TO BE ON MY SIDE! THESE CLODDY SPIES DESERVE NOTHING BUT EXECUTION."

Earth: "Earth?? Oh please, don't worry about it~ If Uvarovite's gossips from Yellow Diamond are correct, there won't be any Earth to care for in the next thousands of years. Now, what and how exactly it gets executed is beyond what I can share."

The war: "If the diplomats just gave us the stupid permission to deal with Rose sooner, things would have turned out VERY differently... Oh well, I learned my lesson- don't listen."

Cross-gem fusions: "I've encountered many of these before. Large, small, stable, damaged... I never saw anything too special about them. My disguise always earned their foolish trusts, which later rewarded them with shattering or getting captured. Thinking about it now, I'm starting to regret not being interested in these strange outcasts sooner. They would make brilliant test subjects."

Corruption: "Ha- corruption? Which one are you talking about exactly? One is very recent, the other exists since the dawn of society. They do have one thing in common though, and that's their exploitability."

Elbaites: "Heh, I shouldn't be answering such thing. Since it's you, however, I'll be honest for a moment. *Clears throat* NEVER trust us. NEVER. Trust. Any. Elbaite."

Oldest memory: "Like before the war? SURE! Eeeeee... (Stars, why is my memory so blurry all of a sudden)... OH, how about something from Earth while it was still at peace! I recall this one oasis in the middle of a desert. There were these funny plants; green on the outside, yellowish red inside. So, we jokingly called them watermelons after us, haha! It was also the day I've officially adapted Melon as my nickname."

Disguise missions: "It's been a couple of years from my last official mission. I'm not in the position to attend them anymore. Not because corruption worsens my capabilities or anything. In fact, I would argue it makes me better! Around 1200 years ago, I went on "holiday" to escape our facility's paperwork. An acquaintance of mine found me a group of space-dwelling off-colors I successfully infiltrated. What a blast! You should have seen my performance."

Off-colors: "Ya know, I consider defectiveness a matter of one's interpretation. Subjectively speaking, I don't feel defective. Buuuuut Homeworld would probably argue against it. Oh well, not my problem. If they ever exile me, I'll just become the leader of some off-colors again."

Gem kind: "Gems are fascinating beings. From our creation we're told that each of us has a define purpose and set of skills...- but that is not the case. You see, despite our initial programming, the war showed me a greater potential in all of us. I want to be the one who pushes gem abilities to their very limits and discovers what we're really capable of! And what better place to start than study my greatest subject -myself."

Resistant to

• Gem shards/mutants: No matter how horrific living shards and their suffering fusions can be, it has no negative effects on Melon whatsoever. In fact, Tourmaline has almost a natural curiosity towards gem mutants. And for some reason, the same mutants seem to be less aggressive in her presence.
• Shattering gems: They never felt bad nor happy when ending someone's existence. Target is just a target for them. A job. A finished contract. They can't afford feeling guilty.

Fears & weak points

• Being physically weak: Being once nearly killed in a melee fight created a deep insecurity in Melon's soul. As a result, they're trying to prove themselves strong and resilient through any shape or form. But no matter how hard Tourmaline tries, they can't change their physical limits.
• Sharing weaknesses: Not sharing their weaknesses with others is what saved their life in the past. They don't want to make themselves vulnerable.
• Strangers: Due to the war, Melon no longer trust strangers.

Hobbies

• Collecting: There's something about owning valuable possessions that brings Melon joy. Perhaps it's part of their plan to be respected by Homeworld's elites.
• Shopping: If you want to own an expensive things, you need to buy them first. Responsibly spending finances is another Tourmaline's hobby.
• Learning new things: Expanding their knowledge not only makes them powerful but also fulfills Melon's desire of discovering limits of all watermelon tourmalines. Not to mention learning certain things is simply fun.

Goals

• Climb up the hierarchy: Bigger power brings better opportunities. It's more than adequate to take advantage of it. But should it be among offcolors, Homeworld nobels or elsewhere? WHO CARES?! As long as Melon doesn't have to follow someone's orders, yet still faces a healthy competetion, she doesn't care.
• Discover each gem's true potential: Besides being motivated by their own curiosity, the lack of Homeworld's resources for manufacturing new gems requires every innovation.
