Abilities
Blue Diamond is a Gem, which means that she technically doesn’t have a ‘body’ in the same sense as organic beings. Her gem in fact is her body, with the rest of her being a light projection that has physical form. If her ‘body’ is destroyed, she will revert back to her gem to reform later. She does not age, cannot die of natural causes, and in fact can only die her if her gem is shattered.
She also has greater strength, speed, and durability than organic life forms. She can create bubbles that encase objects or creature inside them - and when encased around a Gem, can prevent them from reforming. She can shapeshift, changing her form into something else - although as a Diamond, changing her shape is probably seen as something beneath her. She would also technically be able to summon a unique weapon, although this, too, seems to be something that Diamonds (so far) don’t do, probably also regarding it as something unnecessary. And lastly, all Gems are capable of fusing, a power by which they merge with another Gem to form a new being that is a combination of all the Gems in the fusion. This too, however, is an ability Blue Diamond has probably never used, with fusion between Gems of a different type being forbidden and taboo. Being a Diamond, there’s only three other Diamonds for her to fuse with, and they don’t seem inclined to do so.
As a Diamond in particular, she also possesses additional abilities and strengths. She’s more powerful and durable than other Gems, suffering little damage by being crushed by a barn and a warship. She’s also able to create energy to use as a weapon, molding light into various projectiles. When used in conjunction with other Diamonds, this light and energy can become a corrupting force that permanently alters the Gems exposed to it.
She’s also able to project an aura that makes other people feel her sadness. Non-Gems have some resistance to this, but will still be affected when her aura is powerful enough. Those exposed to Blue Diamond’s aura will find themselves uncontrollably weeping, and may in fact be completely debilitated by the grief and sadness. This aura also appears to be able to protect Blue Diamond from other telepathic influences.
There also a possibility that Blue Diamond’s aura can project emotions other than sadness - but since sadness has been her predominant emotion for thousands of years, it’s the one that she projects.
Overall, Blue Diamond is incredibly powerful - but she does not have much in the way of actual battle skill. Mostly, she just stands there and soaks up damage while using her depressive aura to put people out of action. If it weren’t for the fact that being a Diamond just makes her so much more powerful than everyone else, she would be a much easier opponent.
