Rhodonite

Rhodonite is the unaligned fusion of an unknown Ruby and a Pearl. She made her debut in "Off Colors".

She used to belong to a Morganite, but she was replaced after it was discovered that she liked to fuse. She currently resides in an abandoned Kindergarten facility on the Gem Homeworld amongst other defective or abnormal Gems known as the "Off-Colors".

Appearance
Rhodonite has a muscular build that resembles Garnet's, with reddish skin and a long pointed nose that is slightly turned upward. She has wide, black, afro-style hair with pink highlights. As a fusion, Rhodonite has four arms, a pair of which are thick and muscular, like a Ruby, and the pair on her waist and are thin, like a Pearl. She wears a black and mauve jumpsuit with a diamond-shaped cutout at the navel, revealing one of her Gems, with mauve leggings that cover her entire right leg and left thigh. She has a black ballet flat on her right foot and a mauve boot on her left. She also wears a transparent shawl over the gem on her chest and has black gloves from the elbow-down on her lower set of arms. She also possesses four eyes (that are reminiscent of Rainbow Quartz), with the top pair being wide and expressive (like a Ruby's) and the bottom pair being more closed and reserved (resembling Pearl's eyes on Rainbow Quartz).

Personality
She stresses out a lot and is easily frightened. She is extremely paranoid, possibly due to the eons spent hiding inside the underground kindergarten on Homeworld. It is probably also because her Pearl side is constantly in fear of being found and forced to defuse.

"Off Colors"
Rhodonite makes her first appearance in "Off Colors". As the Rutile Twins were taking Steven and Lars to an underground Kindergarten, she appears, along with Padparadscha, and Fluorite. When explaining how she is "off colored" to Steven and Lars, she reveals she once belonged to a Gem called Morganite.

"Lars' Head"
TBA

Steven
Rhodonite seems curious of Steven, then befriends him later in the episode. She often somewhat blames Steven for the Gem-shattering Robonoids that are looking for Steven and Lars.

Lars
Rhodonite likes Lars, as he saved her from the shattering Robonoids. She is also very curious of him after Steven revived Lars in "Lars' Head". When Lars offered to send her to Earth she acts awkwardly and goes for it only to be stopped by Fluorite and the Rutile Twins.

Padparadscha
Rhodonite seems to have a mother-daughter relationship with Padparadscha due to the smaller Gem being rather not in tune with the world around her and is very distracted. It also appears that Rhodonite may be slightly annoyed by Padparadscha Sapphire's late predictions.

Fluorite
Rhodonite treats Fluorite like a mother and she respects each of her wishes.

Rutile Twins
TBA

Morganite
Rhodonite (and her components) used to work for a Morganite until she caught them fusing and replaced them. It is unknown which of Rhodonite's components served under Morganite.

Abilities
Presumably, Rhodonite possesses standard Gem abilities and traits.
