Garnet

Garnet

Garnet (voiced by Estelle) – A physically imposing, disciplined warrior, Garnet is the leader of the group (in Rose's absence); her gemstone is two red garnets which are embedded into each of her hands. She is twice the height of Amethyst, and has dark, reddish-hued skin and a large black afro.

Activating her gemstones summons a pair of large gauntlets. She has a calm and collected personality, and while often serious, is able to be playful with Steven.She is physically the strongest member, though she rarely speaks more than a few pragmatic words at a time, often only to get the other Gems to lay off Steven. She always wears a visor over which she has three eyes, though it has been taken off in some episodes.She also possesses an ability to see possible outcomes of future events.

In the episode "Jail Break", it is revealed that Garnet is a fusion, formed by Ruby and Sapphire, two smaller Gems who stay fused due to their deep love for each other. Each of Garnet's eyes is a different color. The left is blue and the right is red. This reversely correlates to the hand in which their individual gems are embedded (respectively) when Ruby and Sapphire are apart. (It can be seen that the gems started out on opposite individual sides when they were first de-fused and went into their gems on the beach in an attack by Jasper using a "gem destabilizer".) The third eye in the middle of her forehead is purple and belongs to Garnet alone.

She takes fusion very seriously; she was delighted when Steven and Connie accidentely fused in "Alone Together", horrified by the Cluster and other fusion experiments in "Keeping It Together", and enraged by Pearl's abuse of her trust by fixing the Gem communication tower to repeatedly fuse with her in "Cry For Help" to "Friend Ship".

Due to Ruby and Sapphire regenerating while trapped in Peridot's ship, Garnet's outfit changes after they re-fuse into her in "Jail Break", her skin a darker, brighter, and more violet hue, visor reflecting red and blue light, her shoulder pads dark purple and shaped like ovals, her leggings being a lighter navy blue and crimson-pinkish and her shirt design being her star going from dark to light magenta instead of from light magenta to dark magenta.

Along with most of her team (Rose and Pearl) , Garnet is one of the last surviving Gems on Earth who rebelled against the Gem Homeworld to stop their invasion of the planet. After the war, Garnet helped protect the Earth over the next 5,000 years. After Rose Quartz lost her physical form in order to give birth to Steven, Garnet began to mentor Steven and help train him to use his powers.
