Sunstone is the fusion of Steven Universe, Ruby, and Sapphire, and an original character that appears in Steven Universe.
Appearance[]
Sunstone has an appearance similar to that of other Sunstones, being curvy with four arms and a fire-like design. Their skin is bright orange with orange patches and they have an unknown amount of eyes, no nose, and undefined lips. Their arms come from their shoulder and hips, with the top pair being bulky and the bottom pair being slimmer. Their gemstones are on their navel and lower palms and are brown, orange, and yellow.
Debut[]
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.
Current[]
With Steven's clothing change, Sunstone currently wears Steven's black shirt with his pink varsity jacket covering their 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.
Abilities[]
Sunstone possesses standard Gem abilities, bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, and superhuman strength/durability.

Skillset[]
- Suction Cups Proficiency: By combining Steven's shield and Garnet's gauntlets, Sunstone can wield a pair of suction cups, allowing them to scale up certain objects.
- Immense Physical Strength: Sunstone is one of the strongest fusions, able to throw the Diamond Mech off balance, and briefly hold it above their head.
- Immense Speed: Sunstone possesses the ability to move at unmeasured, but high speeds, as seen as they created a gust by breaking into a run, while holding Amethyst and Pearl. This ability seems to come from Sapphire.
