Name: Garnet
Nicknames: "Mom Universe" (herself), "Ruby and Sapphire" (the gems she is made from)
Age: Looks like a young adult, is actually at least 5,750 years old
Species: Gem Fusion
Powers: Electricity and Fusion of Ruby and Sapphire
Occupation: Fusion Teacher/Current Leader of the Crystal Gems
Personality: On the surface, Garnet is quiet and straightforward who leads the Crystal Gems on intuition and wants respect from others. She is usually the peacemaker in situations and for the most part can be stable and composed. In some occasions, she can act on extreme, have a competitive spirit, and sometimes loses her cool. In reality, she is the fusion of the quiet and cold Sapphire and the fiery, expressive Ruby. Due to this, she is a symbol of true love between the two and loves to be herself. Later on, she gets more lively and outspoken to people close to her. She is considered a mother figure to Steven and gives advice to both him and students when they need it.
History: More than five thousand years ago when the world was new, an advanced magical race known as Gems roamed the Earth, hoping to make a living. They consisted of gemstones that took on physical humanoid forms, magic abilities that helped them with creating society, and knowledge to create a social caste system. The nobility were known as "Diamonds" and those underneath them lived to serve them. However, gems who wanted to choose their own way of life started to rebel. In one of the colonies, a rare aristocratic gem named Sapphire lived for Blue Diamond by using her future vision to foretell the outcomes. With her were gem soldiers known as Rubies, one of them having a crush on Sapphire.
During a rebel attack, Ruby attempted to save Sapphire from being killed, causing the both of them to fuse into a different being. The action angered and disgusted the gem society because of fusion at the time being only reserved to gems of the same race. Blue Diamond ordered Ruby to be executed, but Sapphire grabbed Ruby and ran off into the wilderness. After spending a long time with each other and seeing how the two opposite gems compliment the other, they fell in love and resorted to be together as a fusion forever known as Garnet. Eventually, Garnet joined the rebel forces (known as the Crystal Gems) in hopes to live freely as herself.
Several years passed. Attacks turned into battles. Battles turned into the Gem War with Gems destroying each other. As a last resort, the diamonds performed a ritual to end the war, causing all of the gems in the battlefield to become corrupt. Only the Crystal Gem leader, Rose Quartz, and her followers Pearl and Garnet blocked the attack. After the war, Rose decided to protect the country the Crystal Gems now lived in, gathering up the gems who survived and capturing the corrupt gems left behind. Throughout the years when humans, magic and non-magic, started to appear, the Crystal Gems swore to protect the city known as Lunaville from corrupted gems and other opposing magical forces. However, things changed as well. One was the High Magic Council forming in the town. There was much debate due to the Gems being one of the first races in the area, but it came to the decision that unless Gem kind was involved, the Crystal Gems would step down as protectors of Lunaville. Another thing that changed was Rose meeting and falling in love with a human named Greg Universe. Later on, she would give up her physical form in order to give birth to their son, Steven.
Currently, Garnet took the role of Crystal Gem leader in Rose's place. With Rose wishes in mind, she and the Crystal Gems abide to the rules of the High Magic Council and only step in when there's a gem-related situation. She also helps Steven in anyway she can, giving him advice and trying to be a mother figure for him. Wanting to help Steven with his powers/education and also spend some of her free time, Garnet came to the Arcane Magia Academy as the Fusion teacher. She is usually quiet and stoic with most of the school staff, but always seems to be at the right place at the right time.
