Spoiler was removed. First of all, I don't see how anybody could be 100% positive that that was in fact Amethyst. Second of all, it was untrue and simply pure speculation. We do not know if Amethyst is even a Lord of Order anymore due to the fact that she was MERGED with Gemworld last time we saw her and blind. Even in her appearances in Legion of Super-Heroes and Books of Magic had her still merged with Gemworld. If she is no longer part of Gemworld, then she may no longer be a Lord of Order.

Has anyone noticed that the storyline origins, i.e., Amy Winston's parents are really dead, she is raised on Earth by alternate parents, that she learns at an early age that she belongs to another world, that she becomes very powerful while discovering more about that world, and that villians are out to destroy her, is eerily familiar to today's Harry Potter series? 4.242.189.192 05:23, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you're insinuating that aspects of Harry Potter were actually drawn from the Amethyst concept, it's more likely that it's all a matter of "drawing from the same well" as far as fantasy stories go. Once could just as easily draw parallels between Harry or Amethyst and Lord of the Rings, the Narnia books, certain of Hayao Miyazaki's films (such as Spirited Away)...even something as recent as Pan's Labyrinth shares similar concepts with the Gemworld stories. I'm old enough to have bought the original Amethyst series "off the racks", and having become an anime fan in more recent years, I've often thought that the series is a perfect American-created parallel to the magical girl genre of anime; but of course, Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld was created and published at a time when anime's U.S. presence was a trickle of often mishandled properties, and a little over a decade before the debut of the first magical girl anime to air in North America (Sailor Moon, 1995). -- Pennyforth 11:42, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Watermarked image

I have a problem with the Amethyst image in the infobox showing a watermark. Can we even use images with prominent watermarks? --Basique 13:02, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The inspiration for Steven Universe?

Was Rebecca Sugar inspired by Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld when she created Steven Universe? They are both similar in that many of the characters are named after precious gemstones, and both series have a character named Amethyst. --NovaBrunswick 17:40, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
