Biography
Crystal Island Adventures
In Onyx's first speaking role, he asked Bradford to teach him how to control the trucks, which ended up causing trouble for Amethyst in the end. Amethyst then told him that he should be himself and not try to be like Bradford[1].
Amethyst later said that Onyx became upset when Quartz pulled Pink apart. The two best friends then got into a fight over it because Amethyst didn't think it was a big deal, while Onyx thought the exact opposite. However, after spending a week with Lapis, Onyx reconciled with Amethyst and the two have since been inseparable[2].
Onyx and Amethyst later explained to the Off Colors that they are defective. The two offer the explanation that Amethyst should be larger and Onyx should be an engine like their Keystone Railway counterparts[3]
