Sapphire

"" is a Gem that made her official debut in "Jail Break." Currently, she is fused with Ruby, as Garnet. She made an unofficial debut in the episode "Fusion Cuisine".

Appearance
has blue skin and pale blue curly hair with bangs that cover the upper half of her face, concealing any eyes. She is slightly taller than Ruby. She wears a floor-length dress that is dark blue on the top with a blue skirt with white puffed sleeves and a sky blue pinafore worn over the top. The skirt has several frilly layers which can be seen while she runs, and when viewed from below, her dress resembles an open geode. She also wears long white gloves. Her lips and facial structure resemble Garnet's.

Personality
Not much is known about Sapphire's personality at this time, but it is very clear that she is very compassionate and level-headed. She seems to balance out Ruby's more impulsive personality when they're fused as Garnet. She's shown to hold some intelligence, as she came to the conclusion that Steven was immune to the force field due to his half-human side almost immediately.

Abilities
Like all gems, Sapphire can shape-shift, fuse, summon a weapon, and retreat to her gemstone to regenerate. Sapphire can fuse with Ruby to form Garnet.

She is also involved in the fusions Sugilite and Alexandrite, although it is not known if she and Ruby have to be fused first for those two to come out the same.

Unique Abilities

 * Super Speed: Despite her long dress, she can travel at a high speed, an ability unmatched by any other Gem.
 * Future Vision (possibly): As confirmed by the creators, Ruby does not have future vision. This heavily implies that Sapphire has this ability, this is also supported by the fact that she was able to find Ruby in a matter of seconds. She also remarked "You escaped. Of course..." upon seeing out in the open and being immune to the effect of the force field surrounding her prison cell, indicating that this scenario was one she had foreseen as a possible future/outcome.

Ruby
She and Ruby have a romantic relationship, with Sapphire giving a kiss onto Ruby's face when they were reunited. This has also been confirmed by one of the storyboard artists, Joe Johnston. Garnet's dialogue in "Love Letters" reveals that their relationship developed over a period of time.

Steven
Memories of Steven that come from Garnet remain with Sapphire, as she was able to recognize him and the reason behind his ability to open her cell very quickly in "Jail Break." Garnet's intent was to introduce Ruby and Sapphire to Steven on his birthday. She, along with Ruby, cares for Steven greatly, and when Steven asked if he made a good first impression, Garnet assured him that both Ruby and Sapphire had already loved him.

Crystal Gems
Pearl and Amethyst have been aware of Garnet being a fusion for several millennia. Their perception of the two while separated remains unknown, but given their good relationship with Garnet it can be assumed it is a positive one.

The Cluster
Upon encountering The Cluster, Sapphire and Ruby were both disturbed to the point of almost defusing. While Ruby reacted with the most verbal anger and outrage at what Homeworld had done to their fallen friends, Sapphire reacted with quieter but obviously deep sadness at the sight.

From their own comments, as well as that of Garnet herself, it can be assumed that they knew the individual members of The Cluster when they were alive.

Trivia

 * She is known to sing, as displayed in "Jail Break".
 * The song, that she sings from her jail cell, has the same melody as Garnet's song, "Stronger Than You".
 * With what had been shown of other fusions and their tendency to combine numbers of body parts (e.g. Opal's four arms and Sugilite's five eyes), it's possible that Sapphire has only one eye.
 * Assuming that the duo's eyes were evenly distributed when forming Garnet, it is likely that her third eye is the combination of the colors of Ruby and Sapphire's remaining eyes. (Red + Blue = Purple.)
 * It's possible that Sapphire has 'Future Vision', because when Ruby was looking for Sapphire, she complained about 'not being able to see', and it was confirmed that she was used to having two kinds of sight, implying Future Vision and normal sight. Since Ruby doesn't appear to possess Future Vision, it's likely that Sapphire has some form of it.
 * Sapphire does appear to have legs, as depicted in artwork by the show's creator.
 * Sapphire, along with Ruby, do not have stars on their outfits.
 * They also don't have diamonds on their outfits.
 * Sapphire is the second Gem (after Rose Quartz) to wear a long dress that obscures her legs.
 * It was implied in "Love Letters" that her and Ruby's relationship was a gradual building up over time.
 * She and Ruby talk to each other through Garnet in "Keeping it Together".
