I think the reason Garnet acts so motherly to Steven like she does in Future Vision may very well be because she's a fusion with Rose's empty gem. People have commented before that she could be a fusion, with many saying ??? + Rose, but an empty gem would have to be fuse-able for this to be possible. However, it could explain why she's so small in her "standard" form, if she is in fact a fusion, as well as her motherly attitude, like I said, and why she believes in him so much. It could also be why Garnet has never defused, as perhaps a hollow Gem can't be defused, or she may simply choose not to. It could also be she forgot she was a fusion, like Sugilite almost did. This may very well be partly why Sugilite was so much less stable than Opal, seeing how unstable Alexandrite was, as well as larger, though not entirely explaining her size as even Alexandrite was smaller somehow.
