—"Change Your Mind" |
Rainbow Quartz (or Rainbow Quartz 2.0, as they refer to themselves) is the fusion of Steven and Pearl. They made their 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 his 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.
Personality
Pearl's dignity and balletic flair combine with Steven's lighthearted fun side and Steven's occasional goofiness to form Rainbow Quartz's very flamboyant personality. A natural 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 British accent and share her 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 their umbrella to control the speed of their fall and catch Ruby and Sapphire's Gems and Amethyst before unfusing.
Abilities

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 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.
Trivia
- They are the first fusion in the series to not have a female voice actor, and the second overall gem not to have a female voice actor.
- They share some similarities to the character Mary Poppins, especially their British accent and their ability to float using their umbrella.
- Their flamboyant manner, androgynous appearance, and use of an umbrella have been noted to resemble The Adventure Zone's Taako.
- Their personality seems to have changed drastically form the original fusion. It is the first time that two same gems, have resulted in an essentially different fusion.
