### Goal

To keep Junior grow up and help him train to become stronger.

**Garnet** is the fusion of Ruby and Sapphire and the strongest in the **Speedstars**. She first meets Bowser. Jr, when he, Steven and Ruby went off to save Sapphire in the Northern Glaciers from Boom Boom. Garnet has great motivation in training Junior before he fully applies for the best high school, and she serves as the second in command in the team.

## **Background**

### **Distinctive features**

Garnet is currently the tallest of the Worlds Colliders. She has three eyes, which are usually hidden behind a visor. Her right eye is a medium ruby-red, her left a medium sapphire-blue, while the centre third eye is an eggplant colour. Her gemstones are embedded in the palms of her hands. Like Ruby, she has a deep violet cube-shaped afro and a magenta skin tone, while her facial features more closely resemble Sapphire's.

Garnet's visor is marigold and takes the shape of the top of a star. The shape of her suit is unaffected, but the colouring is. The upper torso is now cerise with a pale pink, almost white, 4-pointed star on top with an orchid-coloured outline which also now faces sideways. The abdominal area is magenta on the left side and cobalt blue on the right. The legs are now completely midnight blue and hot magenta at the toes. Her shoulder pads are also phlox-coloured, and she keeps her gloves and wedding rings.

#### Upgraded

Garnet keeps her original form beneath her upgraded one, keeping her visor, her usual physical build and torso and colour patterns. She wears a robe-like, cape-tailed puffer jacket over her torso with an unbuttoned collar and large golden buttons along the sides. Around her neck, she has a gas mask, though being a fire-resistant gem. The sleeves of her jacket have buckles going down, and there are hexagons on the inner parts of the jacket. The buckles help to keep her boxer gauntlets attached whenever they are summoned. Her suit typically resembles an amalgam of both Ruby and Sapphire's upgraded forms.

### **Personality and traits**

Though she is often the most pragmatic and straightforward member of the group, Garnet tends to act on intuition rather than seriously analysing a situation, as seen throughout the series. Garnet is often the peacemaker of the teams, especially when Peridot or Spinel start inanely arguing or fighting, in which she holds a mature role as a member. Garnet can also be quite temperamental. She could even berate team members if they refuse to follow an order, but this may not happen often.

While mostly level-headed, Garnet can still lose her cool. She can be irritated by meaningless fights or team bickering, and can even run into sporadic episodes of irritation. Her ability to have a wave of anger also give her a sense of competitive courage, which compliments her fighting expertise. She also has stoic and silent nature, appearing composed by most situations. She can handle some problems maturely and takes her position in the team seriously - which is a trait derived from Sapphire. Garnet can be abrupt and blunt, silently or verbally, sometimes intentional, giving her a somewhat scary and mysterious aura. But despite her distant form of communication, Garnet can be very open and appears to be a free spirit as a fusion. She may be very expressive when emoting her love and feelings. Garnet can be teasing and has a fun-loving nature outside of her phlegmatic character.

## **Power and abilities**

Garnet possesses standard gem abilities: bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, and superhuman strength/durability.

### Unique Abilities

* **Future Vision**: Garnet can see multiple future outcomes and probabilities with her third eye. This includes extremely unlikely and ridiculous outcomes, as a considerable amount of her available visions depict Steven's (and possibly other individuals') demise at the hands of mundane tasks or objects regularly. Future vision must be used consciously and takes some time to use, as Garnet has been shown in a thinking position when activating it. During that time, someone can alter the future, when Steven ruined the plan to learn about Peridot by going up to her while Garnet was still using future vision. Garnet must also consciously seek out specific details and judge which possible futures are most probable, which means she can overlook some possibilities, such as Pearl deceiving her. Garnet's visor improves her clarity and focuses while using future vision, but she can still use the ability with it off, as demonstrated in "Reunited" when she foresaw the Diamonds' arrival.
* **Temporary Power Transfer**: In "Winter Forecast", "Jail Break", and "Future Boy Zoltron" it is shown that she can temporarily pass on her future vision ability to others through lip contact. While Garnet has only been seen using lip-to-forehead contact to transfer her power, it is unknown if this is the only method. As she has only been seen sharing her power with Steven, her affection could say bias on how she chooses to transfer the power.
* **Heat Resistance**: Her invulnerability is often displayed in her extreme resistance to heat, from when she had scalding-hot coffee splash onto her without flinching in "Future Vision" to when she left to retrieve the Earth Beetle (which required her to swim inactive lava) in "Giant Woman". It has also been said that she could swim in the core of the Sun and survive. This may be because of Ruby's thermo-regulation.
* **Enhanced Calculations**: Garnet mentions her ability to sense structural integrity in "Cheeseburger Backpack".
	+ It is currently unknown whether this is a unique power, a separate portion of her heightened senses like her future vision, or just a simple observation.
* **Electrokinesis**: Garnet can generate electricity, as seen in "The Message" when she used it to charge the battery of Greg's van, "Catch and Release" when she was tangling with Peridot, and "Arcade Mania" when she restarted "Meat Beat Mania" after Steven unplugged the game. Garnet has this ability due to the combination of Ruby's pyrokinesis and Sapphire's cryokinesis.
