Alexandrite

"Alexandrite" is the fusion of Pearl, Amethyst, and Garnet (and by extension Ruby and Sapphire), which debuted in "Fusion Cuisine".



Appearance
Alexandrite is a humongous Fusion Gem. Along with equally gigantic Sugilite she is one of the largest and tallest characters seen as of yet. She has pinkish red skin and six arms. Instead of a third eye, like Garnet's previous fusion Sugilite had, it is replaced with an Alexandrite representing the location of Pearl's gemstone, with three markings surrounding it. Alexandrite's primary face also functions as a mask, covering a second monstrous looking mouth below.

Alexandrite's turquoise/bright teal star-shaped hair resembles all of the Gems hair styles. The length and wildness of her hair resembles Amethyst's, while the top of her hair styled to a point represents that of Pearl's, and the slight square shape where the styled point protrudes resembles Garnet's.

Alexandrite's attire represents a mix of all 3 Gems' clothing: The greenish gray leggings with a four pointed star cut out in each legging, resembling Amethyst's, the shoes and black shoulder sleeves are Garnet's, and the tunic is Pearl's. The gloves on each pair of arms are also the color of the skin tone of each Gem (purple middle pair of arms is for Amethyst, turquoise upper pair of arms is for Pearl, red fingerless gloves on lower pair of arms is for Garnet).

Personality
With most fusions between Gems, the end result Gem has a unique personality of her own that takes different attributes from the contributing Gems' disposition and intensifies them. Alexandrite starts off cold, intense, and messy, but as the fusion slowly starts to fail, the Crystal Gems' individual personalities become more prominent.

Abilities
Being a fusion, Alexandrite is much more powerful than a regular Gem. Alexandrite runs at extreme speeds, like Sugilite. Furthermore, she has enough strength to lift weighted objects, like a bus, with ease.

 * However, if you take hairstyle into account, Alexandrite is the clear winner.
