Sugilite

"Sugilite" is the fusion of Amethyst and Garnet (Ruby and Sapphire) who made her first appearance in "Coach Steven."

Appearance
Sugilite is a massive fusion; almost as tall as Alexandrite, she is one of the largest, tallest characters seen as of yet. She is monstrous-looking; her face features four eyes located under a strong brow and a final fifth one above it - each being a different color. Her mouth is twisted into a grin and filled with sharp, pointed teeth. She has a giant plume of spiky, dark-violet hair kept in an untamed style similar to Amethyst's. Her skin color is a more pinkish shade of purple than Amethyst.

She wears a ripped, dark-purple, black and burgundy costume similar to Garnet's body-suit, and a visor covering her four lower eyes. She has four arms, which are connected at her sleeves. Her leggings have rips/cuts that are similar to Amethyst's.

Personality
Sugilite cares for herself, first and foremost. Though she carries out mission objectives, she does not do anything that she does not want to and does not hesitate to use force to achieve personal desires. She combines Garnet's headstrong, unwavering nature with Amethyst's indulgence, as well as her negative attitude towards authority. The resulting personality is a volatile mix that is highly aggressive, as well as dangerous. This causes at least one perilous situation, wherein Sugilite, enraged that she was left behind during a mission and asked to unfuse, viciously attacks and severely injures Pearl. She seems to possess some of Ruby and Sapphire's feelings towards separating.

Despite her destructive nature, she seems to retain an attachment to Steven. She avoids targeting him directly during her rampages, though ironically she inadvertently causes a chunk of debris to fly off at Pearl, who deflects it and hits Steven in the face; and she wants to impress Steven with her strength, asking if he wanted "to see something cool?", and showing him how she combines Garnet and Amethyst's weapons into her flail when he agrees.

Abilities
An absolute juggernaut in combat, Sugilite uses her sheer strength and size to overpower and crush any opponents.

Though not as acrobatic and nimble as Opal, Sugilite makes up for it by sheer size; her long legs allows her to cover a lot of ground quickly and leap long distances. Sugilite has no known weaknesses, except her own recklessness. In "Coach Steven", she is only defeated when Pearl outsmarts her by luring her up the hill behind the Crystal Temple. She then used her spear to trip Sugilite, causing her to tumble down the side of the temple and get hit on the head by her own flail, thus knocking her out and separating the fusion.

Skillset

 * Flail Proficiency: Her weapon is an enormous flail that uses Amethyst's whip as a chain, and Garnet's fused gauntlets as a bludgeon. Using this weapon, Sugilite easily smashes through buildings, reducing a defunct Gem Communications Hub to rubble.

Trivia

 * Sugilite is the first Crystal Gem to act as an antagonist.
 * According to Ben Levin, Alexandrite is, in theory, taller than Sugilite due to Alexandrite being made up of four gems.
 * Sugilite could be based on an Oni, which is a Japanese demon, due to the gemstone being first discovered in Japan by Professor Ken-ichi Sugi.
 * She also strongly resembles the Hindu goddess Kali. Kali is often portrayed with four arms and a very destructive nature. Sugilite's long and somewhat wild-looking dark hair also resembles common portrayals of Kali. While Kali is often described as violent, she's still usually seen as a destroyer of evil. Some legends even show her with a caring, maternal side.
 * Sugilite demonstrates in "Coach Steven" that if multiple Gems are fused for too long, they can slowly lose their individuality.
 * Sugilite also seems to have sugilite gemstones as fingernails faceted in different shapes. The index is shaped as a star while the rest appear to be square.
 * Sugilite is the only Crystal Gem with three gemstones.
 * She was the first fusion whose full transformation was seen on screen.
 * The second was Garnet.
 * The third was Malachite.
 * Sugilite, Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli, Alexandrite, Jasper, Malachite, and Peridot have not been seen bubbling gemstones.
 * The next time she is formed, Sugilite will likely have a slightly different outfit due to Garnet's regeneration in "Jail Break" and Amethyst's regeneration in "Reformed".
