Sapphire

"Sapphire" is a Gem that first appeared in "Jail Break". Currently, she is fused with Ruby as Garnet. Her unofficial debut was in "Fusion Cuisine".

Appearance
Sapphire has blue skin and pale blue, wavy hair with bangs that cover the upper-half of her face, concealing her single eye with no nose. She is slightly taller than Ruby. Her lips and facial structure resemble Garnet's.

Sapphire wears a floor-length dress. It features white, puffed sleeves, a dark-blue top, and a blue skirt. Her dress has a sky-blue pinafore over the top. The skirt has several frilly layers. She also wears long white gloves.

Personality
Sapphire seems to usually be very compassionate and level-headed. She balances out Ruby's more impulsive personality when they're fused as Garnet. She is shown to hold some intelligence, as she came to the conclusion of Steven's immunity to the gem destabilizer wall almost immediately. It seems that Sapphire can be avoidant at times as well, as she sees into the future when everything is resolved, rather than understand what is happening in the present. She is also shown to be more emotional than Ruby, being brought to tears when she saw Steven was upset. She is somewhat passive-aggressive.

Abilities
Sapphire possesses standard Gem abilities, including weapon-summoning, bubbling, shape-shifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness and superhuman strength/durability.

When fused with Ruby, they form Garnet.

Unique Abilities

 * Super Speed: Despite her long dress, she can travel at a high speed, an ability unmatched by any other known Gem.
 * Future Vision: As confirmed by the creators, Ruby does not have future vision. Sapphire has this ability, this is also supported by the fact that she was able to find Ruby in a matter of seconds. This was then confirmed in "Keystone Motel".
 * Thermoregulation: As shown in Keystone Motel, Sapphire can drastically lower the temperature of her surroundings, even forming ice on the walls and freezing water.
 * Levitation: First seen in "Keystone Motel", where she was using this ability to float onto a bed.

Ruby
Sapphire and Ruby have a romantic relationship, with Sapphire giving a kiss onto Ruby's forehead when they were reunited. This has also been confirmed by one of the storyboard artists, Joe Johnston. Garnet's dialogue in "Love Letters" reveals that their relationship developed over a period of time. Because Ruby was mad at Pearl for lying to Garnet they temporarily split up to (literally) burn off some heat. She seems to be the more stable member of the relationship, who is aware of and used to Ruby's oubursts.

Steven
Sapphire made less of an intent to hide her identity from Steven than Ruby, but still didn't tell him she was part of Garnet, as her and Ruby's intent was to properly introduce themselves to Steven on his birthday. She, along with Ruby, care for Steven greatly, and when Steven asked if he made a good first impression, Garnet assured him that both Ruby and Sapphire had already loved him.

Crystal Gems
Pearl and Amethyst have been aware of Garnet being a fusion for several millennia. Their perception of the two while separated remains unknown, but given their good relationship with Garnet, it can be assumed it is a positive one.

The Cluster
Upon encountering the Cluster, Sapphire and Ruby were both disturbed to the point of almost defusing. While Ruby reacted with verbal anger and outrage at what Homeworld had done to their fallen friends, Sapphire reacted quieter, with deep sadness at the sight. From their own comments, as well as that of Garnet herself, it can be assumed that they knew the individual members of The Cluster.
