Crystal is Gem’s sidekick in tormenting Jessie. She’s a mean, conventionally beautiful blonde girl who seems perfect in every way. Given that Crystal is so mean, Jessie makes no effort to learn anything about her; her only defining characteristic is that she’s not quite as blonde as Gem. Dri, however, shares that Gem and Crystal haven’t always been so mean. They became mean in seventh grade.
