I doubt Sardonyx is a fusion of any of the characters we've already seen, since the teaser clearly says "week of Sardonyx" which implies an entire week of this character, and it'd be hard to make an entire week's worth of content about a Garnet/Pearl or Peridot/Jasper fusion unless it was something out-of-control and unstable like Malachite. But, since they've already covered unstable fusions WITH Malachite, this seems redundant and thus unlikely. I'd like to see a Garnet/Pearl and Peridot/Jasper fusions, but I don't think this is it. It'd be a bit of a disappointingly anticlimactic reveal if it was.

On the other hand, has anyone else considered the possibilty that "week of Sardonyx" isn't meant to be taken as a literal phrase? Sort of like how "Year of the [insert important thing here]" doesn't literally mean that every day of the year absolutely HAS to be related to said important thing. "Week of Sardonyx" could simply mean the week an important character named Sardonyx appears, not that every episode of the week has her in it...

If my theory on Sardonyx being Jasper's real name or something related to Jasper is wrong (and I hope to God it is, because I desperately want new gems revealed), then I have a hunch Sardonyx is a fusion of some sort not pertaining to any of the already-established gems, since Sardonyx is literally just sard and onyx mixed together (and the last three episodes were heavily focusing on fusions anyway). It could be the forced-fusion gem we've seen, but I'm a little skeptical - The forced-fusion gem looked like at least four different partial-gems fused together, and Sardonyx sounds like a two-gem fusion. The two-gem forced fusions didn't look nearly developed enough to become full-fledged characters any time soon.

Sardonyx could also be Yellow Diamond, the Diamond part possibly being just a title and not an actual name, since there is some evidence strongly suggesting that Rose Quartz was once a Diamond-level ruler. I'm also kind of skeptical of this being Sardonyx too, just because it seems a little too early in the plot to be revealing Yellow Diamond.

Who knows! Maybe we're ALL wrong and they'll throw us a curveball, haha!
