| This article is about the fusion with Rose Quartz. You may be looking for the fusion with Steven, the soundtrack or Snowflake Obsidian. |
Obsidian is the fusion of Garnet (and by extension Ruby and Sapphire), Amethyst, Pearl, and Rose Quartz. While not appearing on screen, she was depicted in "Historical Friction" in a play performed by Jamie and Steven. She is the basis for the statue that makes up the Crystal Temple, which debuted in "Gem Glow".
Her name was confirmed by Joe Johnston, after her counterpart with Steven appeared in "Change Your Mind".[1]
Description[]
In a play about William Dewey, he was saved by a Fusion Gem (Obsidian) from a giant Gem Monster. While the silhouette from the play gives a very basic idea of her physical appearance, the rest of her characteristics are too obscure to define. She presumably looks similar to her counterpart with Steven.
Her lower body and upper torso appear to be reminiscent of Garnet. She also sports a huge mane of hair kept in a proper hairstyle closely resembling that of Rose Quartz. She is depicted with four arms, while the Crystal Temple statue of Obsidian has eight arms.
In the play, she is portrayed as towering over William Dewey, his ship, and its crew. While possibly an artistic choice by Jamie, the final script was edited by Pearl for accuracy.
In Mayor Dewey's original script, William Dewey replaces this Fusion Gem. Dewey describes his ancestor as "growing to fifty feet tall," implying this fusion was that tall.
Abilities[]
Obsidian possessed standard Gem abilities: bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, gravity shifting, weapon-Summoning, photokinesis, gem storage, and superhuman strength/durability.
Natural Abilities[]
- Immense Strength & Durability: Obsidian had immense amounts of physical strength and durability because she's was a fusion of many different Gems, including a Diamond.
Unique Abilities[]
- Amalgam Physiology: Due to their nature as a Fusion, Obsidian possessed the potential to use all the summoned weapons and innate abilities of their component Gems and the smaller Fusions within them.
- Lava Generation: Because of the Gemstones being the same, this Obsidian could also generate lava in her third mouth, acting as a forge.
