 * This article is about the character; you may be looking for the song.

"Opal" is the fusion of Amethyst and Pearl who first appeared in "Giant Woman".

Appearance
Opal has long, flowing, white hair, light-blue eyes, and a pale-violet skin tone. Her hair extends to her ankles, and is tied into a pony-tail. Her lips resemble Amethyst's, while her nose resembles Pearl's. She possesses four arms.

Pre-regeneration (debut)
Opal's attire consisted of a turquoise tube-shirt with drapes, featuring a star. She wore magenta tights and gold flat-boots.

Post-regeneration (current)
Her attire is similar to her previous outfit, but with a sash around her waist, and a tank top with sleeves and an added neckline to her top. This is due to Pearl's regeneration in "Steven the Sword Fighter", but the colors are yet to be confirmed, since she appeared in a white and green tint.

Personality
Due to Amethyst and Pearl being almost polar opposites, her personality is very unstable and the most minor of disagreements between the two can result in defusion.

Opal's personality is speculated to be a combination of Amethyst's power and self-confidence, along with Pearl's grace and precision. She appears to be more open to Steven's desire to have fun and play, as she sang part of his song back to him. This shows a combination of Amethyst's laid-back attitude with Pearl's nurturing tendencies. It was shown that she can easily be distracted from main objectives, such as when she defeated the monster at the Sky Spire, she considered the mission done and left without completing the original mission (retrieving the Heaven Beetle). This could be because of both Amethyst and Pearl, as the two can easily get distracted by simple desires (though in opposite ways).

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

Skillset

 * Bow and Arrow Proficiency: Opal can individually summon Pearl's spear or Amethyst's whip. When combined, a bow is formed. This bow is a lethal weapon; it is capable of firing explosive arrows, with the blast bubbling gemstones simultaneously.

Unique Abilities

 * Water-Walking: Opal can walk on water, an ability she shares with Pearl.
 * Increased Stability: Opal is shown to be able to "glide" by kicking off the wall and gliding in the sky.
 * Water Vacuum: Opal possesses Pearl and Amethyst's ability to quickly dry off after being doused in water.

Steven
Opal retains a protective nature over Steven from Pearl and Amethyst. She is willing to play around with Steven, as when he asked if she remembered him, she replied by smiling and singing his song back to him.

Garnet
Opal and Garnet are on seemingly good terms and work together well. When Opal returned with Steven, Garnet did not seem surprised and simply asked Opal if she completed her mission. Later, in the episode "The Return", Opal and Garnet are seen working together attempting to destroy the Gem Warship.

Episode Appearances

 * "Giant Woman" (debut)
 * "The Return" (non-speaking cameo)

Trivia

 * She is the third shortest fusion, right above Stevonnie and Garnet.
 * As seen in "The Return", she is at least twice as tall as Garnet.
 * She was the second fusion to be seen, the first being Garnet.
 * Opal closely resembles Kali, a Hindu deity, featuring four arms, long hair, and a gemstone lodged on their foreheads.
 * Additionally, Opal was originally planned to make a manji with her arms when summoning her weapon, of which Kali is commonly associated with.
 * She is also similar to the design of Nabooru from The Legend Of Zelda; even to the point of having her pointed nose.
 * Opal's appearance consists more of Pearl's physical appearance and features.
 * This also extends to her weapon; Pearl's spear not only makes up the longbow but the arrows are visually similar to the energy blast the spear can emit. Meanwhile Amethyst's whip merely acts as the bowstring.
 * Opal is the only Gem with an exclusively ranged weapon.
 * This is most likely due to Pearl's spear, while being a melee weapon, has the ability to emit a ranged energy blast.
 * Opal is among the least "monstrous" of fusions, which could imply that more stable fusions look closer to a humanoid figure, since the only fusions that seems more humanoid than her are Garnet, Stevonnie, and Rainbow Quartz.
 * It also implies that despite their constant bickering, Pearl and Amethyst are actually very close deep down.
 * Opal will likely have a new outfit when she is next formed, due to Amethyst's regeneration in "Reformed".
 * This will make her the only fusion to have three different outfits.
