#### **2. Shapeshifting:**

Like most other Gems, Ruby is capable of altering her physical form. This is first shown in "Snow Day", where she shapeshifts into "Classic" Alice during a game of "Alice Tag". Also shown when she shapeshifts into Peridot, just to mock her.

#### **3. Gauntlet Proficiency**:

Through sheer anger and feeling the need to release it through violence, Ruby can summon a gauntlet like Garnet's. Although only seen once, it is clear that Ruby possesses some knowledge of how to use it.

#### **4. Superhuman Strength**:

Ruby seems to possess great strength, as she was able to shake the walls of her prison with a single punch, lift Sapphire with little effort in "Jail Break", and flip a diner booth table with relative ease in "Keystone Motel". As seen in the same chapter, Ruby is dense enough to walk underwater.

#### **5. Superhuman Agility**:

In "The Question" she repeatedly proved to be extremely agile and acrobatic.

#### **6. Musical Ability**:

Cumbo taught Ruby how to play the acoustic guitar in "The Question". Within ten minutes, she was skilled enough to improvise a song about her current experiences.

### Unique Abilities

#### **1. Heat Generation/Pyrokinesis**:

Ruby can increase the temperature and generate heat. This is shown in "Keystone Motel" when her body gets so hot that it begins burning the carpet of the motel room and boils the pool to nothing but steam in a very short amount of time. It is shown to be related to Ruby's emotional state, as the ability manifested itself when she got furious in the aforementioned Chapter and when she felt infatuated in "The Answer", she set the grass beneath her ablaze when Sapphire thanked her. When fused as Garnet, Ruby's pyrokinesis fuses with Sapphire's cryokinesis and forms Garnet's electrokinesis, as thunderstorms can result from the formation of masses of cold and warm air.

#### **2. Pyrokinetic Touch**:

This ability allows Ruby to set fire to whatever she touches. As shown in "The Answer" and "Keystone Motel", she accidentally sets fire to the grass beneath her the minute she got flustered and the carpet when she became angry, respectively. The same occurred in "Reunited" when she excitedly walked down the stairs. In "The Question", Ruby proved she can use her pyrokinetic touch at will and while in a neutral state of mind to make a fire.

#### **3. Fire Dash**:

Ruby can move at high speed by forming a fireball around herself, as shown during "Reunited".

#### **4. Heat Resistance**:

Ruby has not demonstrated this ability, but it was confirmed that the only reason Garnet can swim in lava is by Ruby. She shares this power with Obsidian.
