Rainbow Quartz 2.0

""Well, what do you know? It's Rainbow 2.0!""

Rainbow Quartz (or Rainbow Quartz 2.0, as they refer to themself in order to differentiate from the original Rainbow Quartz) is the fusion of Steven and Pearl. They made their reformed debut in "Change Your Mind".

Appearance
Rainbow Quartz 2.0 maintains the original Rainbow Quartz's light pink skin color, but their hair is significantly shorter and smaller, instead resembling a thicker, wavier version of Pearl’s hair, and is deep mauve in color along with blue and pink streaks.

They wear a long sleeved teal blazer vaguely similar to Pearl's over a midriff version of Steven's red t-shirt with a yellow star in the middle, Steven's jeans as knee-length shorts, and Pearl's pink ballet slippers.

Unlike most other fusions seen so far, Rainbow Quartz 2.0 does not gain additional height from fusion but is instead about the same height as Pearl. They also share a thin build with Pearl, but have strong, wider calves and feet, which stem from Steven.

The gem of Pearl uses a shade of pink, which very closely resemble the shade of their skin color, and Steven's gem uses shades of pink, purple, and yellow.

Personality
Pearl's dignity and balletic flair combine with Steven's lighthearted fun side and his occasional "goofiness" to form Rainbow Quartz's very flamboyant, fun, and posh personality.

A selfless caregiver, they plunge confidently through the air to rescue the falling gemstones of their friends. In a manner similar to that of Sardonyx, they speak with a posh English accent and share Steven's affinity for wordplay.

They are also very creative and a good problem solver.

"Change Your Mind"
In order to free Pearl from her gemstone, Steven fused with her and formed Rainbow Quartz 2.0. They used their parasol to drop down and catch Ruby and Sapphire's Gems before unfusing.

Abilities
Rainbow Quartz 2.0 is assumed to possess standard Gem abilities and traits.

Fusions

 * When fused with Ruby, Sapphire (or Garnet), and Amethyst, they form Obsidian.
 * Rainbow could also form Obsidian by fusing with Sugilite.

Skillset

 * Rainbow_Quartz_2.0_Debut.gifParasol Proficiency: Rainbow Quartz 2.0 can, by mixing Pearl's spear and Steven's shield, summon their weapon: a large parasol, with pastel pink and violet tones with a yellow star design on top of it. When used, it enables Rainbow Quartz to easily float through the air.
 * Rocket Parasol: Rainbow Quartz 2.0 can ride their parasol as if it were a witch's broomstick. When flying, the parasol gives off a rainbow-colored trail-boost.
 * Speed of Descent Regulation: Carried over from Steven, Rainbow Quartz 2.0 can control how fast they fall via the parasol.
