*Jewel the Beetle is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing. She is an anthropomorphic beetle and the curator of the Mineral Museum. She is also Tangle the Lemur's best friend and the current director of the Restoration.

Jewel is an anthropomorphic beetle with primarily light blue skin, pink eyes with a long eyelash on each one, a small black nose and a white muzzle. She has an even lighter blue iridescent exoskeleton with a pink, yellow, green, and blue rainbow-like sheen. Her antennae are light blue, while the interior of her wings are cream.

For attire, she wears a french pink blazer with two navy buttons, a white cravat attached to a gold brooch with a medium blue gem, a matching french pink miniskirt, white gloves with navy cufflinks, navy tights, and french pink wedge pumps with navy soles.

Jewel is a well-mannered person with a bright sense of humor and a passion for both minerals and organization. Whereas Tangle is reckless and loud, Jewel is more reserved and cautious. She is also a bit timid and does not like violence, but is still ready to help others as much as she can, sometimes at the risk of her own well-being. However, she easily succumbs to stressful situations, which makes it difficult for her to concentrate and leaves her in need of emotional support.

Jewel likes to sort and organize documents, which is why she volunteered to be the director of the Restoration. Initially, however, she lacked faith in her leadership and self-confidence. She felt that despite everything she had been through, she could not help anyone, which included her best friend. With Amy's help, however, she found the confidence she needed in her own abilities. This allowed Jewel to devise a successful plan to extinguish a forest fire at the Forest Ridge Zone Campground.

But Jewel also had a moment of frustation. Days after Restoration HQ was destroyed by Clutch's actions, Jewel blamed mostly herself, believing she was never actually meant to direct the Restoration and had planned on quitting, and when Lanolin tried to say she had made the right choice by making the ship crash on Emeraldville Ruins, Jewel yelled in tears it was a horrible choice, which cost everything she build to be destroyed. But thanks to Tangle's comforting words, Jewel changed her mind out about quitting the Restoration and decided to work with Lanolin in making Emeraldville a home again.

Jewel has the ability to fly with her wings, as long as her elytra are intact.*
