### First Appearance

January 22nd, 2017

**Cherry Quartz** was KJD's interpretation of the fusion between Garnet (and by extension, Ruby and Sapphire) and Steven. They became scrapped after the canonical debut of **Sunstone** in "Change Your Mind".

## Appearance

Cherry Quartz has a curvy body with a rounded upper torso and two arms and legs. Their skin is cherry red and they have five black eyes, a small nose, and full lips. Their hair is dark red and is very poofy and messy. Their two arms are somewhat muscular, and their legs are thick and curvy. Their gemstones are on their navel, left palm, and right palm, and are cherry red in color.

They wear bright cherry red shades that have rounded edges and are transparent. They wear Steven’s shirt over top of Garnet’s outfit with Garnet’s signature one fingered gloves with arm bands, and are dark red in color. There is a small cutout on their naval that exposes some of their midriff, and they also wear Steven’s shorts overtop of Garnet’s pants as well. They have light cherry accents on the heels as well as cutouts at the tips which reveal their toes.

## Personality

Nothing is known about Cherry Quartz's personality yet.

## Abilities

Cherry Quartz possesses standard Gem abilities, bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, and superhuman strength/durability.

### Skillset

* **Arm Guards Proficiency**: Cherry Quartz possesses the ability to combine Steven's protective shield and Garnet's gauntlets into arm guards, which can be summoned from their gemstones.
	+ **Weapon Size Augmentation**: Just like Steven and Garnet can do with their weapons, Cherry Quartz is able to increase the size of their arm guards.
	+ **Disc Shooting**: They can use their arm guards to shoot electrified energy discs.
	+ **Levitation:** Cherry Quartz can levitate their body and even manipulate its gravity based on their emotions, an ability inherited from Steven.
	+ **Enhanced Reflexes/Speed**: Despite their size, Cherry Quartz is extremely fast and agile.
	+ **Phytokinesis**: Cherry quartz has the ability to grow sentient flora that acts as their guardians, an ability inherited from Steven.
	+ **Healing**: Cherry Quartz manifest their ability (from Steven) to heal through their saliva. This allows them to repair broken Gems/gemstones, as well as heal general injuries.
	+ **Empathic Telepathy:** Cherry Quartz can communicate with Gems through their dreams, an ability that can be combined with Garnet's future vision to telepathically project visions of the future.
