Rainbow Quartz (or Rainbow Quartz 2.0, as they refer to themself) is the fusion of Steven and Pearl. He made his reformed debut in "Change Your Mind".
Appearance
This fusion maintains the original Rainbow Quartz's skin color, but the hair is significantly shorter and is deep mauve in color along with blue and pink streaks. They wear Pearl's blazer over a midriff version of Steven's shirt, Steven's pants as knee-length shorts, and Pearl's slippers (though their feet are much wider than hers). 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. The gems of Pearl and Steven now use a shade of pink, which very closely resemble the shade of his skin color.
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 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, he speaks with a posh British accent and share Steven's affinity for wordplay.
History
"Change Your Mind"
In order to free Pearl from her gemstone, Steven fused with her and formed Rainbow Quartz 2.0. They used his parasol to drop down and catch Ruby and Sapphire's Gems before unfusing.
Abilities
Fusions
Skillset
- Parasol Proficiency: Rainbow Quartz 2.0 can, by mixing Pearl's spear and Steven's shield, summon their weapon: a large parasol, with pastel pink, violet, and yellow tones. When used, it enables Rainbow Quartz to easily float through the air.
- Rocket Parasol: Rainbow Quartz 2.0 can ride his 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.
