Sardonyx

"Sardonyx" is the fusion of Garnet and Pearl, who is set to appear in the upcoming third StevenBomb event. She will make her first appearance in "Cry For Help".

Appearance
Sardonyx has dark red skin, much like Garnet at the start of the series. Her torso also greatly resembles Garnet's torso but has less mass. As a fusion, she has four arms and inherits the same locations of her gemstones as her fused cooperators, with Pearl's gem on her forehead, and Garnet's gems (Ruby and Sapphire's) located on the set of arms that are connected to her shoulders. She has peach-colored hair, styled into a tetrahedron with very rounded corners. She wears a tailcoat tuxedo with a bow tie. On the first set of arms, she wears white gloves that closely resemble Garnet's gloves. On the second set of arms located on her abdomen, she wears white gloves that reach up to her elbows. She wears round shades that resemble Alexandrite's shades, but are slightly transparent, which reveals that Sardonyx has four eyes.

Personality
Sardonyx appears to have a very enthusiastic personality to her. She speaks as if she is a talk show host.

Abilities
Sardonyx is presumed to possess standard Gem abilities, including weapon-summoning, shape-shifting, bubbling, regeneration, fusion, agelessness, and superhuman strength/durability.
