—"Change Your Mind" |
Sunstone is the fusion of Garnet (and by extension Ruby and Sapphire) and Steven. They made their debut in the episode "Change Your Mind".
Appearance
Sunstone has a fire-shaped head, bright orange skin with normal orange patches, and two sets of arms: one bulky and muscular with the other slender. The smaller pair can often be seen displaying peace signs or shakas, demonstrating their laid-back nature.
They wear a pair of dark red shades, covering their eyes, Steven's salmon-pink shirt with the sleeves rolled up, Garnet's gloves at the lower arms, Steven's jeans as shorts with a red pocket on the left leg and a blue pocket on the right leg, and sandals.
With Steven's clothing change, Sunstone currently wears Steven's black shirt with the pink varsity jacket covering the upper arms, and still keeps Garnet's gloves and rings on the lower arms.
Personality
Sunstone displays a combination of Garnet's leadership, protective spirit, and effortless natural cool, mixed with Steven's sunny optimism and tendency for sentimentality, all of which combine into a being of earnest, almost cheesy positivity. In many ways, they resemble a 1980/90s after-school-special cartoon character; offering self-esteem-boosting platitudes and giving helpful advice to children. Overall, they have a hip, laid-back personality even in the heat of battle. Much like Sardonyx, they like to break the fourth wall, encouraging the kids at home not to fight when it can be avoided. As seen in "A Very Special Episode," Steven's empathy also balances out Garnet's bluntness in explaining safety to Gems without scaring them.
History
"Change Your Mind"
After landing and unfusing with Pearl, Steven attempted to draw Ruby and Sapphire out of their gemstones through fusion. Though seemingly interrupted by the Diamond Mech stomping on them with one of the feet of Pink's Ship, Sunstone managed to protect themself and the other Crystal Gems by pushing the foot away. They then continued to pick up both Amethyst and Pearl, attempting to climb up the mech to confront White Diamond. However, they are knocked off by one of the arms of the mech, defusing back into Steven and Garnet.
"A Very Special Episode"
They scheduled a home safety Geminar at Steven's house for Ocean Jasper, a Nephrite, and the Heaven and Earth Beetles. Sunstone teaches them various lessons, such as to clear objects off stairs, cover trash bins, check for running faucets, and to turn motion smoothing off of TVs. However, Steven separates from Garnet in order to check on Pearl, who is supposed to be hanging out with Onion as Rainbow Quartz 2.0. When Steven returns, Sunstone teaches their students about the value of a helmet in rollerskating and how to respect red and green lights when crossing the street. However, Steven must leave again to help out Pearl once more. After Onion accidentally sends the students off a cliff, Sunstone appears to save them; however, Pearl forcibly unfuses them, wanting Rainbow to save them. At the end of the episode, it turns out everything was a PSA made by Sunstone about managing time wisely, called "Safety Zone Starring Sunstone". There, they are shown giving Ocean Jasper a guitar, playing volleyball with Pearl and Amethyst, and jumping off a cliff while wearing a helmet and parachute.
