Rutile Twins

The Rutile Twins are unaligned Gems living in an abandoned Kindergarten facility on the Gem Homeworld amongst other defective or abnormal Gems known as the Off Colors. They made their debut in "Off Colors".

They form a defective Gem, being two Gems having conjoined into one during formation (and sharing one body and gemstone).

Appearance
The Rutile Twins form a tall, slender Gem with short maroon hair that ends in a point at the top and light red skin. They have one pair of legs and arms, but two torsos and heads. Their gemstone has a "Y" shape and is located on the navel.

The Rutile Twins wear a dark red and black bodysuit, which is red with black stripes on their right half, and black with red stripes on their left half.

History
The Rutile Twins form a defective "off-color" Gem, being two Gems conjoined into one during formation. They have stated that they are supposed to be dead but survived because all the other Rutiles ran away from them in fear.

Personality
The Rutile Twins are shown to be helpful, being the ones who tell Lars and Steven to jump into the hole to the Kindergarten before being caught by the Robonoid chasing them.

They often speak either alternating words or fragments or often repeat after each other. They are also shown to be curious about Lars and Steven's foreign lifestyle.
