Sugilite

"Sugilite" is the fusion of Amethyst and Garnet who made her first and so far only appearance in "Coach Steven."

Appearance
Sugilite is a massive fusion; almost as tall as Alexandrite, and she is one of the largest, tallest characters seen as of yet. She is monstrous-looking; her face features four eyes located under a strong brow and a final fifth one above it. Her mouth is twisted into a grin and filled with sharp, pointed teeth. She has a giant plume of spiky, dark-violet hair kept in an untamed style similar to Amethyst's. Her skin color is a more pinkish shade of purple than Amethyst.

She wears a ripped, dark-purple, black and burgundy costume similar to Garnet's body-suit, and a visor covering her four lower eyes. She has four arms, which are connected at her sleeves. Her leggings have rips/cuts that are similar to Amethyst's.

Personality
Sugilite cares for herself, first and foremost. Though she carries out mission objectives, she doesn't do anything that she doesn't want to and does not hesitate to use force to achieve personal desires. She combines Garnet's headstrong, unwavering nature with Amethyst's indulgence, as well as her negative attitude towards authority. The resulting personality is a volatile mix that is highly aggressive, and dangerous to everyone she encounters. This causes at least one perilous situation, wherein Sugilite, enraged that she was left behind during a mission and asked to unfuse, viciously attacks and severely injures Pearl. She seems to possess some of Ruby and Sapphire's feelings towards separating.

Despite her destructive nature, she seems to retain an attachment to Steven. She avoids targeting him directly during her rampages, though ironically she inadvertently causes a chunk of debris to fly off at Pearl, who deflects it and hits Steven in the face; and she wants to impress Steven with her strength, asking if he wanted "to see something cool?", and summoning a combination of Garnet's gauntlets and Amethyst's whip to form her flail.

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

An absolute juggernaut in combat, Sugilite uses her sheer strength to smash objects and size to overpower and crush any opponents.

Though not as acrobatic and nimble as Opal, Sugilite makes up for it by sheer size; her long legs allows her to cover a lot of ground quickly and leap long distances. Sugilite has no known weaknesses, except her own recklessness. In "Coach Steven", she is only defeated when Pearl outsmarts her by luring her up the hill behind the Crystal Temple. She then used her spear to trip Sugilite, causing her to tumble down the side of the temple and get hit on the head by her own flail, thus knocking her out and separating the fusion.

Unique Abilities

 * Flail Proficiency: Her weapon is an enormous flail that uses Amethyst's whip as a chain, and Garnet's fused gauntlets as a bludgeon. Using this weapon, Sugilite easily smashes through buildings, reducing a defunct Gem Communications Hub to rubble. Due to the sheer size of the weapon and the length of the chain, this gives much longer range than traditional melee weapons - much like Amethyst's whip.

Trivia

 * Sugilite is the first Crystal Gem to act as an antagonist.
 * Her motivations do not seem to include protecting Earth or humans, instead impressing Steven ("You like that, little man?") and general destructiveness.
 * According to Ben Levin, Alexandrite is, in theory, taller than Sugilite due to Alexandrite being made up of four gems.
 * Sugilite could be based on an Oni, which is a Japanese demon, due to the gemstone being first discovered in Japan by Professor Ken-ichi Sugi.
 * She also strongly resembles the Hindu goddess Kali. Kali is often portrayed with four arms and a very destructive nature. Sugilite's long and somewhat wild-looking dark hair also resembles common portrayals of Kali. While Kali is often described as violent, she's still usually seen as a destroyer of evil. Some legends even show her with a caring, maternal side.
 * Sugilite demonstrates in "Coach Steven" that if multiple Gems are fused for too long, they can slowly lose their individuality.
 * This seems to be happening to Lapis Lazuli as she has been fused with Jasper to form Malachite for a very long amount of time.
 * Sugilite also seems to have Sugilite gemstones as fingernails faceted in different shapes. The index is shaped as a star while the rest appear to be square.
 * Sugilite is the only Crystal Gem with three gemstones.
 * Sugilite is the first fusion whose full transformation was seen on screen.
 * Sugilite, along with Alexandrite and Rainbow Quartz, is the only fusion to appear in only one episode thus far.
 * Sugilite will have a new form due to Garnet's and Amethyst's regeneration.
 * Sugilite is the only tri-gem fusion shown thus far.
 * Alexandrite is four gems fused together.
