I am very impatient in nature. Waiting to see Sardonyx until the 13th is a pain. To kill time, I decided to gather my thoughts on what Sardonyx could be. Please note that everyone can have their own theories, and I don't bash people for thinking other way than me.

Some speculate that Pearl+Garnet fusion is Sardonyx. I find that very unlikely. Look at the Pearl fusions we've seen so far: Opal, Rainbow Quartz and Alexandrite. The first two gems (in real life) have an opalescent shine, and the other changes color depending on the lighting. So I suppose all Pearl fusions are somewhat multicolored. While sardonyx gem is a type of agate that is usually orange with white stripes. It isn't opalescent and doesn't change its color in different lighting.

Color-wise, Sardonyx could be either a fusion of Jasper and someone (probably not, since Jasper is currently fused) or - if we go with the popular theory that Jasper is a fusion - Sardonyx is part of Jasper. It's not likely, either, because the Crewniverse proclaimed "SARDONYX is coming". If Jasper is to split apart, then wouldn't they rather say "Sardonyx and <> are coming"? Imagine someone saying that Garnet is a fusion of Ruby, period. It sounds nonsense, right? Should have mentioned both gems that form her.

There are another theories: Onion/Lars/Ronaldo is a gem named Sardonyx. I hope those are jokes, like the Onion = Yellow Diamond theory. See, Lars and Ronaldo being gems is simply impossible. They both interacted with CG. If one of them was a gem and didn't know it before, he would find out when seeing others of the same species (something like "Oh, you have gems located on your bodies. How strange, I also have one"). Onion is pretty mysterious, but I still doubt he's a gem. We've seen his father and alleged mother, Vidalia. He has their appearance traits, therefore he must be their biological son. A human.

Could Sardonyx be, as some speculate, a corrupted gem that we've seen already? I don't think so. None of the gem monsters fits sardonyx's most common, orange-white color scheme. True that sardonyxes can come in a variety of colors; but sapphires can, too, yet the character of Sapphire follows the most common (blue) color scheme. It's just that when you think of sapphires, you imagine a dark blue gemstone, not a green or purple one.

However, Sardonyx may be a retreated gem that was put into a bubble offscreen. Bubbles prevent gems from regenerating, but maybe Sardonyx is an exception? Perhaps her weapon can break the bubble. I think it would be interesting.

She may also be a gem monster yet to be seen. In this case Steven would most likely heal her and we would find out something important about corrupted gems. Sound promising!

Or Sardonyx could be trapped in an item, like Lapis Lazuli. While it is possible, the Crewniverse would probably try to avoid using the same motif again.

There's the possibility that leaves most questions. Sardonyx could be a whole new gem. I suppose that she comes from Homeworld to search for Jasper and Peridot. They had an important mission and haven't returned for a while. Yellow Diamond is probably hesistant about this, and sends someone to search for them. It makes sense, but isn't the only option. Do you think that Sardonyx could be a Crystal Gem that, for some reason, resides away from the others? Is it possible that she used to be a CG, but then her corruption started, causing her to move away, because she didn't want to harm her friends? It sounds crazy, but I'd love if it was true!

Comment and tell me what do you think. And please excuse me if I made a mistake; English is not my native language and I'm still learning. I hope everything I wrote is understandable, though!
