**Sunstone** is the fusion of Garnet (and by extension Ruby and Sapphire) and Steven. They made their debut in the episode "The Good Egg", as a fourth-wall break cameo in the animation, and a canon appearance in the Worlds Collide Minecraft roleplay in the episode "The Stretchy Situation".

## **Appearance**

Sunstone has a fire-shaped head, bright orange skin with normal orange patches, and two sets of arms: one bulky and muscular with the other slender. The smaller pair can often be seen displaying peace signs or shakas, demonstrating their laid-back nature.

They wear a pair of dark red shades, covering their eyes, Steven's salmon-pink shirt with the sleeves rolled up, Garnet's gloves at the lower arms, Steven's jeans as shorts with a red pocket on the left leg and a blue pocket on the right leg, and sandals.

With Steven's clothing change, Sunstone currently wears Steven's black shirt with the pink varsity jacket covering the upper arms, and still keeps Garnet's gloves and rings on the lower arms.

## **Personality**

Sunstone displays a combination of Garnet's leadership, protective spirit, and effortless natural cool, mixed with Steven's sunny optimism and tendency for sentimentality, all of which combine into a being of earnest, almost cheesy positivity. In many ways, they resemble a 1980/90s after-school-special cartoon character; offering self-esteem-boosting platitudes and giving helpful advice to children. Overall, they have a hip, laid-back personality even in the heat of battle. Much like Sardonyx, they like to break the fourth wall, encouraging the kids at home not to fight when it can be avoided. Steven's empathy also balances out Garnet's bluntness in explaining safety to Gems without scaring them.

In the animation, and canonically in the prior series, Sunstone plays as a harmonious symbol of protection and buoyancy.

## **Abilities**

Sunstone possesses standard Gem abilities and traits.

### Fusions

	+ They could also form Obsidian by fusing with Opal.

### Skillset

* **Suction Cups Proficiency:** By combining Steven's shield and Garnet's gauntlets, Sunstone can wield a pair of suction cups, allowing them to scale up certain objects.
* **Immense Physical Strength:** Sunstone is one of the strongest fusions, able to throw the Diamond Mech off balance, and to hold the complete machine above their head.
* **Immense Durability:** Sunstone was able to withstand the weight of the Diamond Mech, all on their own, with only a momentary struggle.
* **Immense Speed:** Sunstone possess the ability to move at unmeasured, but high speeds, as seen as they created a gust by breaking into a run while holding Amethyst and Pearl. This ability seems to come from Sapphire.
* **Fourth Wall Awareness:** Sunstone has the ability to break the fourth wall, and speak to those watching the show.
