'''Amethyst:''' Yeah, ''she's the boss.''
Garnet is the de facto leader of the Crystal Gems, having taken over after the departure of Rose Quartz. She's a powerful, strong and disciplined warrior. A Gem of few words, Garnet is the most aloof member of team. However, when she does speak, everyone listens. She is usually very introspective, but living with Steven, she is beginning to come out of her shell a little.
----
[[foldercontrol]]
* TheAce: She's the [[LightningBruiser fastest, strongest]], [[LargeAndInCharge biggest]], [[NighInvulnerable toughest]], and [[TheStoic most unflappable]] of the Crystal Gems, and [[{{Seer}} she always knows exactly what to do]].
* AdjustingYourGlasses: Tends to adjust her visor often, usually as [[PstandardPsychicPstance an outward indication of using her Future Vision]]. It's also a sign that she's stressed.
* AfroAsskicker: She's the [[BadassInCharge unofficial leader of the Crystal Gems]], has the PowerFist, and her hair is a cube-shaped, curly afro.
* AliensOfLondon: Garnet is the only one of the Crystal Gems we've seen so far with a British accent. What's even odder about this is neither of [[FusionDance Garnet's two halves]], Ruby and Sapphire, have a similar accent.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: In addition to their admiration of Rose, Amethyst and Pearl do have one trait they share in that they both look up to Garnet for being so much stronger than they are, which is why the absolutely relish any chance they have to fuse with her. This actually creates the secondary conflict in "Cry For Help", when it is revealed that Pearl kept repairing the communications hub, distracting the Crystal Gems while Peridot was still loose, because she loved the feeling of being strong that fusing into Sardonyx gave her.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: She's the embodiment of Ruby and Sapphire's love for each other.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: She's in charge, and she can fight and defeat Pearl and Amethyst, quite literally, single-handedly, at the same time.
* BackportedDevelopment: Flashbacks to before the beginning of the series give her a characterization more similar to her current self than to TheStoic seen in earlier episodes, though it's possible that the character development in the series' present day is partially just Garnet returning to the way she was before Rose's death.
* BadassBoast: "Stronger Than You" is this in ''song form''. Garnet puts who she is, the love she represents, and how Jasper is never going to truly win against her in a wonderful, [[EarWorm Ear Wormy]] song. [[RuleOfCool Her doing this while both giving and receiving punches just makes it better]].
* BadassInCharge: The leader of the Crystal Gems, and considering her incredible strength and speed, for good reason.
* BadBadActing: Due in part to her being TheComicallySerious. During "Tiger Millionaire" she fakes being hit by a punch by tipping over like a felled tree, and her improvised heel speech is about as wooden. When she pretends to be 'Mum Universe', the first story she tries to come up with is about the children playing with swords and dying.
* BareYourMidriff: Garnet's casual outfit in "Beach Party" and her training attire in "Garnet's Universe".
* BattleCouple: An interesting variation: She IS a couple and kicks a lot of butt.
* BellyButtonless: Whenever Garnet wears [[BareYourMidriff midriff baring clothes]], she appears not to have a present bellybutton, possibly due to the fact that Gems (let alone Fusions) aren't born at all like humans.
* BerserkButton:
** Most cases of abuses of fusion. Once the initial shock and horror passes, Garnet is ''furious'' in "Keeping It Together" at what the Homeworld Gems have done, both with using fallen Crystal Gems as test subjects for the experiments, fusing their Gem shards together, and at the experiments themselves, which she feels is a perversion of the FusionDance technique. She was ''incensed'' at Pearl for distracting her with the communications hub problem just to give an excuse for them to form Sardonyx, betraying the trust fusion is based on and wasting time they could have spent hunting down Peridot (who was involved with the fusion experiments). It would take her four episodes to finally calm down.
** Insubordination in a highly dangerous situation. The other Gems fear making Garnet angry, and Steven finds out why in "Mirror Gem" when he defies her orders and refuses to hand over the eponymous mirror, whacking her in the face and knocking off her glasses to show a three-eyed DeathGlare. A similar problem arises in "Cry For Help", with Pearl using the very serious problem of Peridot sending out a distress call to Yellow Diamond as an excuse to repeatedly fuse with Garnet and feel better about herself as a result. Combine that with the above and you get one very angry Garnet...
** Saying fusion is inferior to a Homeworld Gem will reward you with a very uncomfortable time-out.
** ''Do not'' speak ill of Rose Quartz or denigrate the Earth and its life forms. Peridot learned this the hard way in "It Could've Been Great".
-->'''Garnet:''' ''You'', listen to me, ''now''. You are talking about things that you do not understand.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Garnet is the nicest of her friends (sans Steven). That being said...do '''not''' make her angry.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: As stoic and reserved as she is, Garnet is the strongest and fastest of the Crystal Gems and heaven help you if you make her angry.
* BlackBossLady: The de-facto leader of the Crystal Gems and has a humanoid avatar with African-styled features.
* BlessedWithSuck: She can predict and sort through all the likely events in the near future, which is incredibly useful. In "Future Vision", she implies it has a pretty horrible downside: she is constantly seeing, in vivid detail, the terrible consequences of every ''wrong'' choice she could possibly make.
-->'''Garnet:''' Steven, I see [[AdultFear so many things that can hurt you]].
* BritishStuffiness: Garnet is noticeably less uptight than most examples, but her stiff upper lip and smooth British accent certainly fit this trope.
* BrokenAce: {{Discussed}}. Garnet explicitly states in "Friend Ship" that she's not as perfect as everyone thinks she is and she has her own weaknesses, but tries to stay strong because she knows she has an impact on her friends.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Despite her being a hardened Gem warrior, Garnet has a caring and close relationship with her friends.
* BrutalHonesty: Garnet is more deadpan than blunt, but she expressed her dislike for Greg's music quite brutally: [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere by jumping out of the (still moving) van]] and deciding to spend the rest of the trip on top of the car's roof. This is turned on its head in "The Message", when, after the titular message is translated by Greg, Garnet very firmly thanks Greg for his assistance. The "brutal" part comes from her just as firmly silencing the other Crystal Gems so she could make that thanks, who were panicking over what the message actually told them. The jury is out if this was Garnet's attempts to stay calm herself though.
* CastingGag: Garnet's voice actress, Estelle, was born on January 18, and the garnet is the traditional birthstone of people who are born in January, which may make Garnet a MeaningfulName.
* CelebrityParadox: Her favorite music is by her voice actress, Estelle.
* CelibateHeroine: She has no interest in pursing a romance with anyone because she IS a relationship (the embodiment of one, to be more specific).
* TheChainsOfCommanding: She's an effective and loving leader, but does not know how to manage the emotional well-being of her team mates. This becomes a problem in "Cry For Help" when a insecure Pearl develops an addiction to the power she feels when she and Garnet fuse. Garnet eventually tells Pearl that contrary to what the other Gems think she ''does'' have flaws, but she doesn't let them define her since she's the leader and sometimes she looks up to Pearl for strength. She actually joins Steven and Greg on their road trip so she can have her (quite literal) emotional breakdown out of their sight.
* CharacterDevelopment:
** As she bonds with Steven, she becomes less stoic and starts showing more open affection and emotion while still maintaining her cool demeanor. By Season 2, not only does she smile more often than she did in Season 1, she's also more relaxed and playful like she was in the flashbacks.
** She was also the first to thank Greg for deciphering the Wailing Stone's message in "The Message" while Pearl and Amethyst were going bonkers over Lapis' message about the Homeworld Gems coming to Earth, showing that she is starting to think less of him as a burden.
* CharacterTics: Adjusts her glasses whenever she's stressed.
* ColdHam: She's TheStoic, but can pull some very dramatic lines and body language without changing her usual tone of voice.
* CombatClairvoyance: Garnet uses her future vision to assist the Crystal Gems in their future fights.
* TheComicallySerious: Silly things sometimes happen to/around her, and she never stops being serious.
-->'''Garnet:''' ''(Hair covered in feathers; deadpan)'' Hello, Steven.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Her voice carries authority.
* CoolBigSis:
** This is the nature of Garnet's relationship with Steven. While Amethyst is [[TheLadette Steven's partner in mischief]] and Pearl [[TeamMom is more of a mother figure]], Garnet is like a big, smart sister to Steven, always giving him good advice ([[TheStoic usually with more bluntness and less personal opinion than Amethyst and Pearl]]) and serving as a role model. Garnet also lets Steven make his own mistakes and learn his own lessons when possible, like when she took Steven with him when the team had to split up in "Serious Steven". Finally, she's usually the one most in tune with Steven's emotional needs, like when she gave him the advice to just talk to Connie and making sure Amethyst and Pearl didn't interfere.
** It is also common to interpret her relationship with Steven as motherly, just in a different way than with Pearl. Many moments have the two interact in a mother-son way such as Garnet going along with Steven's playing hide and seek with her, calling him "cutiepie", always being the Gem targeted by his "puppy eyes" [[NotSoStoic which she can't say no to]], saying he's grounded when she's mad at him, their hugs are very tender (usually when Garnet saves him), Steven may be casually seen sitting on her lap when interacting with the Gems, etc. There's also the adorable part in "When it Rains" where Garnet, not in any life-threatening situation but simply because she wants to, shapes her hands into a heart and tells Steven she loves him before going on a mission.
* CoolShades: Garnet has a nice pair of reflective shades that take up half her face. Turns out they conceal a third eye. She can also transform them into goggles for swimming.
* CuttingTheKnot: When Pearl and Amethyst's plans inevitably fail, Garnet will resort to hitting things. It usually works.
* DanceBattler: Not her most common style, but her battle with Jasper has her dancing and swaying to music.
* DeadpanSnarker: She'll occasionally make jokes, maintaining her usual tone of voice.
-->'''Pearl:''' Are we really going to let him keep that?\\
'''Garnet:''' We kept Amethyst.
* DeathGlare: Steven learned in "Mirror Gem" just how angry she can be when she got backhanded.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: With the reveal in "The Answer" that cross-gem type fusions are considered forbidden abominations on her homeworld, it's hard not to read Garnet's fusion as a metaphor for gay, inter-caste or interracial marriage. Driven home in her part of the full opening song; when the gems are singing their motivations for protecting earth, hers is "I will fight for the place where I'm free / To live together and exist as me."
* DualityMotif: Garnet has three eyes, one red, one blue and one violet, because she's a fusion of Ruby, who has two eyes, and Sapphire, who is a {{Cyclops}}. The violet eye is them finding balance.
* DueToTheDead: Is horrified at what the Homeworld did to her fallen brethren, whom she had spent a long time searching for.
* EternalLove: Is made of this, for over ''5,700'' years.
* ExtraEyes: Garnet has three eyes, the right one is red, the left one is blue and the middle one is violet.
* {{Fangirl}}: Garnet's favorite music is the works of Estelle according to Rebecca Sugar, appropriate considering Estelle is her voice actress.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Both her outfits show some of this in their designs and colors. Most likely due to her nature as a fusion. The second has a distinct red and blue tint on opposing sides.
** The first couple of times Ruby and Sapphire fused, Garnet invoked this to an even greater extent; Her outfit was a literal fusion of pieces of clothing from her components. On top of that, her hair was [[MulticoloredHair an uneven mix of pink and blue]].
* FighterMageThief: The Fighter of the group who depends on physical strength and durability the most.
* FingerlessGloves: Garnet wears long, elbow-length gloves that only cover her middle fingers.
* FireIceLightning: Sorta does all three on her own. Garnet has lightning powers, Ruby has fire powers, and Sapphire has ice. It's noteworthy that a combination of hot air and cold air form storm clouds.
* {{Foil}}: To Malachite. Malachite is a fusion born of hate and desperation, while Garnet is a fusion born of love and compassion.
** Even more, knowing the circumstances behind Garnet's creation as of "The Answer". Both she and Malachite were created by a snap decision. However, whereas Malachite was born out of Jasper's scorn and desire for vengeance, Garnet was born from Ruby's need to protect Sapphire.
* FunnyAfro: Her afro is notable in that it's cube-shaped rather than spherical.
* GeniusBruiser: Garnet is the strongest of her friends and the most savvy. This is lampshaded by Steven in "Keeping it Together":
-->'''Steven:''' Oh. Oh! You're brains ''and'' brawn! The whole package!
* GentleGiant: Sort of. She's not afraid to fight and can really hit hard, but she gives off this vibe around Steven what with the way she'll gently ruffle his hair or go along with whatever wacky thing he wants to do.
* GoodParents: While all of the Gems care about Steven, Garnet is the one who has the most faith in him, believing he can and will control his Gem powers in good time.
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: After Ruby and Sapphire re-fuse, Garnet now has a purplish color theme.
* GrinOfAudacity: Sports one for most of her fight against Jasper. Considering her [[TheStoic usual demeanor]], it's a pretty big deal when she breaks out that big, beautiful smile.
* HartmanHips: Just look at them! Steven calls attention to this in "Rose's Room", saying she would fit into Greg's baggy golf pants. Which she does. It has also been noted that one of her legs is larger than Pearl's whole body.
* HeroicBSOD: Seeing the forced fusion of the missing Crystal Gems mangled together by the Homeworld is enough to utterly paralyze her, which leaves her vulnerable to breaking apart.
* HiddenDepths:
** [[TheStoic She of all people]] turns out to ''really'' like video games.
** Garnet gives really good love advice, which is to be expected when she's a relationship.
** She and Greg are apparently really good friends and play tennis together regularly.
* ImprobableHairstyle: No matter what happens, whether it's in a fight or swimming through lava, Garnet's square afro stays in place.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Whenever the need arises for a fusion she'll have to choose between Pearl and Amethyst, unaware that the other party is left feeling hurt and inadequate due to being left out.
* LargeAndInCharge: She towers over her teammates at a minimum of seven feet tall.
* TheLeader: Unofficial but de facto leader of the Crystal Gems, since she is the only one that can sense incoming threats. Her levelheadedness also makes her well-suited to moderating the more polarized personalities in the team. She makes a point of respecting and listening to the other Gems, though, and Pearl (as seen in the header quote) seems uneasy about the idea of Garnet as a literal leader, suggesting that Garnet is reluctant to officially step into the role Rose Quartz left vacant.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Her associative instrument is a high, distinctive synth sound. After her regeneration in "Jailbreak," a synth bass (different from Amethyst's) was added as well. Her instruments are most clearly demonstrated in her song from the same episode, [[https://soundcloud.com/aivisura/steven-universe-stronger-than-you-feat-estelle "Stronger Than You."]]
** The melody that Sapphire sings in "Jailbreak" is closely tied to the fusion between her and Ruby. It's incorporated into "Stronger Than You", and in "The Answer" we are shown its origin during the song "Something Entirely New".
* LightningBruiser: Both the strongest and the fastest of the Gems.
* LiteralMinded: PlayedForLaughs several times.
-->'''Steven:''' (providing video game instructions) Just punch and you'll be fine.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: In a lesser extent than Steven, but both Amethyst and Pearl look out for Garnet in order to have some self-assurance on their own issues. See AlwaysSomeoneBetter above.
** Ruby and Sapphire are both a crutch for each other, Ruby becoming next to useless with fear and self-doubt without Sapphire around to reassure her. Sapphire depends on Ruby just as much, but being rather stoic and having future sight, she is less obvious about it.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Garnet tells Jamie in "Love Letter" [[DefiedTrope that love at first sight doesn't exist]] because true love requires time and work and at least knowing each other. In "The Answer", we see that Ruby and Sapphire did somewhat fall in love within their first meeting, but their constant fusion over several millennia still affirms her statement that ''staying'' in love takes effort.
* MamaBear: Will occasionally become this for Steven. Special mention goes to "The Return" where she absolutely ''loses'' it towards Jasper for targeting him.
* MadeOfGood: Garnet considers herself this, seeing herself as the embodiment of Sapphire and Ruby's love.
* MeaningfulName:
** In gemstone mythos, garnets are known as stones that provide protection to their users from evil.
---> '''Steven:''' Garnet, you keep us safe by scaring off the bad guys. [[ParentalSubstitute Just like a mom would!]]
** Estelle's birthdate is January 18, and people born in January have a garnet [[note]]the actual real-life gemstone[[/note]] as their birthstone.
* MismatchedEyes: All ''three'' of her eyes are different colors, each corresponding in some way to her fusion (one red eye representing Ruby, one blue eye representing Sapphire, and her third eye is purple, the combination of red and blue).
* MorphicResonance: She has Sapphire's hourglass figure and puff sleeves, and Ruby's coloration and square afro.
* MorphWeapon: In "Warp Tour," Garnet is able to increase the size of her gauntlets, easily quadrupling their size, and deal increased damage at the cost of reduced speed. This was also hinted during "Garnet's Universe" and could also suggest that Steven knew about it before its proper debut.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Her arms are as thin as sticks, yet she's the strongest of the Crystal Gems.
* NiceGirl: While she does have her flaws, Garnet is the nicest of the Crystal Gems (sans [[AllLovingHero Steven]] and [[FriendToAllLivingThings Rose]]). She displays the most trust and respect in Steven and isn't as bigoted towards humans like Pearl and Amethyst; she even refers to Earth as ''her home''.
* NonPOVProtagonist: Along with Steven, Amethyst and Pearl, she is one of the four main protagonists of the show. But said show is exclusivly told from Steven's Perspective.
* NoSell: She can swim in lava and is immune to electricity-based attacks (probably due to her own electricity-generating powers).
* NotSoAboveItAll: What with Garnet's personality as TheComicallySerious, it's easy to assume she is 'above' the other's antics, and she does sometimes have a no-nonsense attitude. But while she may keep a stoic demeanor, she often willingly goes along with weird things Steven or Amethyst want to do without the slightest hint of complaint.
--> '''Steven:''' If they got to spend some time with you, they'd realize how fun, and smart, and mysterious you are!\\
'''Garnet:''' Hehe, 'mysterious.'
* NotSoStoic: As the series progresses, she starts to show facial expressions a little more often. Look at her in the episode "Garnet's Universe"; she's smiling the whole time she's playing along with Steven's antics. This is especially the case regarding Steven learning fusions; her first noticeable facial expression is a huge grin at seeing Stevonnie, and she ''completely freaks out'' upon being introduced to Smoky Quartz.
* OddFriendship: Garnet and Greg, of all people, are rather good friends. She was highly supportive of his pursuit of Rose and according to WordOfGod they play tennis together regularly.
* OneWayVisor: Her sunglasses, which cover three eyes in a different color each.
* OnlySaneWoman: Being the most together Gem, she often has to rein in the others.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Garnet admits to being ''scared'' of [[spoiler: Blue Diamond]], it shows just how dangerous [[spoiler: the Diamonds]] are.
* OpenMindedParent: As opposed to Pearl, she's more willing to listen to Steven and let him figure things out by himself.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: She may be the tallest Crystal Gem, but she is the second-smallest fusion in the entire series.
* PlayingWithFire: Though she never generates fire herself, she can swim through lava without issue, which is why she goes to retrieve the Earth Beetle. [[http://shikai-of-the-4th-world.tumblr.com/post/98609800488 According to]] WordOfGod, this is an ''ice bath'' to her, while the core of the ''sun'' would be a hot tub. This ability comes from Ruby, who can generate extreme heat.
* PowerFist: Her WeaponOfChoice, summoned from the gems in her hands. Bismuth upgrades them to include spiked knuckles.
* ThePowerOfLove: As expounded upon in her IAmSong, Garnet is more than a mere fusion of Ruby and Sapphire. Their love for each other and their friends is what drives her. It's also what makes them such a perfect and long-lasting fusion. Just for comparison, it's a minor miracle if Pearl and Amethyst can maintain their fusion for six minutes. Ruby and Sapphire can maintain theirs indefinitely. The only things that can separate them are if they choose to, their body being destroyed, or a severe emotional conflict.
* {{Pride}}: A rare case of this being a good thing; her pride in her status as a fusion affirms her strength against Jasper. That said, she can occasionally take her pride in her abilities too far, which is part of why Sugilite is so unstable.
-->'''Garnet:''' We don't need to be careful. We just need to be ''[[SmugSuper huge]]''.
* PromotedToParent: In the flashbacks when Rose was still alive, Amethyst dressed and acted like a five-year-old child, while Pearl and Garnet acted more like they were teenagers. Now that's Rose gone, Garnet became the mother figure of the group - a role she struggles with since she's either unable or unwilling to help Pearl and Amethyst with their emotional issues, until they become problematic enough that they effect team missions.
* PronounTrouble: Played with during her song "Stronger Than You". For most of the song, Garnet switches between "we" and "I" pronouns, likely because Ruby and Sapphire had just re-fused and she was still adjusting herself. But during the final verse, when she finally turns the fight around on Jasper, she switches to "I" and "me" exclusively, and refers to Ruby and Sapphire as separate to herself, cementing her complete re-fusion.
* PstandardPsychicPstance: Does this often, though not always, when she's focusing on [[{{Seer}} Future Vision]].
* PurpleIsPowerful: She has a couple of light purple elements the first color scheme we see in the series. After Ruby and Sapphire refuse into Garnet, her new color scheme has more of a purplish tint.
* TheQuietOne: She rarely speaks at all. When she does, she almost never uses more words than absolutely necessary to get her point across.
* RankUp: After Rose's death, Garnet became the leader of the Crystal Gems.
* Really700YearsOld: Garnet was formed about 5,750 years ago when Ruby and Sapphire accidentally fused. Her component Gems are even older than that.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Most willing to listen to, or at least humor, Steven and others out of the Crystal Gems.
* RedIsHeroic: Her outfit is mostly red and she's TheLeader of the main heroes.
* TheReliableOne: Out of the four Gems, she's the most reliable and careful. When the Gems get into trouble, a typical solution is to 'Go get Garnet'.
* RocketPunch: She fires her gauntlets as projectiles in "Watermelon Steven."
* RomanticFusion: She's a fusion of two Gems so madly in love with each other that they stay fused all the time. Garnet is explicitly the embodiment of Ruby and Sapphire's love.
* RubberWoman: Garnet can use her shapeshifting powers to elongate and enlarge her arms.
* {{Seer}}: She seems to be aware of incoming danger and events, which is why Pearl and Amethyst prefer to do missions with her than without. Expanded upon in "Future Vision", where she describes her third eye as allowing her to see possible outcomes of future events and make the best choices given what she can see at the time. She seems to be able to command this vision at will as well.
* ShesGotLegs: Garnet has especially long, shapely legs and even shows them off in "Beach Party".
* ShipperOnDeck:
** In hindsight, her reaction to Stevonnie makes it clear she's one for Steven and Connie, after the reveal that she's a fusion of two lovers herself.
** In "We Need To Talk", the flashback shows Garnet giving Greg love advice in regards to Rose.
* ShockAndAwe: She has electric powers as a result of Sapphire's ice and Ruby's fire. She can generate at least enough electricity to power an unplugged arcade game and charge a car battery, and is capable of redirecting lightning bolts. It took quite a while for this ability to actually be used in combat, but she eventually redirects an enemy's electrical attack and sends lightning across the ground as an attack.
* ShouldersOfDoom: Combines this with GiantPoofySleeves. Transfers this quality over when fusing into Alexandrite.
* SitcomArchnemesis: Apparently with Kofi Pizza. She has a tendency to destroy his property without caring about his reaction.
* SoProudOfYou: Her smile at the sight of Stevonnie, the proof of Steven being able of successfully fusing, after she stated that she believed he would be able to pull it off, has heavy undertones of being this trope.
* TheSpock: She's ''always'' calm and thinks logically.
* SpiritedCompetitor: While mostly level-headed, she occasionally demonstrates a fierce competitive spirit. This is best seen while playing volleyball, Steven Tag, and arcade games.
* {{Squee}}: She had the biggest {{Squee}} when Steven and Connie fused into Stevonnie.
** And when Steven and Amethyst fused into Smoky Quartz.
* StatuesqueStunner: Garnet is the tallest of the group and at least one person considers her beautiful. Also the fact that she's a fusion created from a loving relationship between Ruby and Sapphire probably counts towards that as well.
* TheStoic: [[NotSoStoic Almost]] always keeps her cool.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's sugary nice towards Steven. The Ice part comes from her being TheStoic and TheQuietOne most of the time, though she's never actually mean.
* SunglassesAtNight: She wears her visor day or night and even in dark caves. Its main purpose seems to be covering her third eye so she doesn't freak out any humans she might encounter.
* SuperEmpowering: She can momentarily pass along her visions with a kiss to the forehead, demonstrated with Steven.
* SuperStrength: Seems to be the physically strongest of the Gems; she's able to hold back a mother centipeetle's tail, chuck Amethyst hundreds of feet away, and easily overpowers Amethyst (even when she's taking her much larger Purple Puma form).
* SuperToughness: She reveals that she can swim in lava in "Giant Woman", and is the only one of the three that can. WordOfGod [[http://shikai-of-the-4th-world.tumblr.com/post/98609800488 states she's actually much tougher than this]] and the ''core of the sun'' would be the equal of a ''hot tub'' to her.
* TalkingToThemself: A truly rare moment of weakness for a fusion like Garnet. Witnessing the [[BodyHorror horrific fusion experiments]] Homeworld is conducting is so traumatizing, that Ruby and Sapphire end up letting out their individual fury and disbelief while still fused as Garnet. While this is going on, the camera flips to only show one side of her face at a time, each with different expressions. It happens again in "Keystone Motel" as she tries to handle Pearl's betrayal of her trust; unlike before, she ends up splitting into Ruby and Sapphire before she's done.
* TaughtByExperience: Garnet seems to be fond of this teaching method. Whenever Pearl starts being too overprotective, she puts her foot down and lets Steven work things out on his own.
* TeamDad: She scolds the other Gems for mocking Steven in the pilot and in later episodes she will be the most likely to try and get Steven to solve problems on his own. In "Secret Team", the others desperately try to hide a dangerous mistake from her and are more focused on arguing with each other (Amethyst and Pearl) or being part of a "secret team" (Steven) than the damage the mistake could have caused. When she finds out, [[ScareEmStraight she stages a fake monster attack to get their attention]] and [[WhatTheHellHero scolds them for them letting petty divisions distract them from being a team]]. The jacket Steven gives her to wear in "Maximum Capacity" even says [[http://68.media.tumblr.com/59a198efba9bc57100d7a6ac60d72675/tumblr_nla5dtLpXF1tize68o1_1280.png "Cool Dad!"]]
** Subtly acts as one to Peridot during "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E29LogDate7152 Log Date 7 15 2]]", offering her approval when she tries new things on Earth and admonishment when she pushes Greg off the barn roof to see if humans could fly.
* ThirdEye: Has one covered by her shades, allowing her to see possible future outcomes at any given moment.
* TookALevelInBadass: Her existence is one for Ruby and Sapphire. Individually, they are a RedShirt and [[NonActionGuy Non-Action Girl]] respectively, but when fused, Garnet can go toe-to-toe with [[SuperSoldier Quartzes]] like Jasper.
* ToughLove: How she leads the team, in contrast to Rose. She's caring and fair, but stern and no-nonsense. Unfortunately it has the unintentional side effect of exacerbating Pearl's and Amethyst's personal problems.
* TriangleShades: She almost always wears her triangular futuristic orange tinted shades, which cover all three of her eyes. After Ruby and Sapphire refused, her shades are now colored in a soft pink and blue color, instead of pale orange, and different light sources cause different colors to reflect off of them.
* TricksterMentor: Her preferred method of dealing with Amethyst and Pearl's emotional issues is to send them on a mission with Steven, so he can help them work through them. This approach has its limits since Steven is still fairly young after all, and he has issues of his own.
* UsedToBeMoreSocial: A mild example. Flashbacks show that Garnet ''still'' had no social skills with humans, but she was more emotionally open before Rose's "death".
* WarIsHell: Unlike her fellow senior Crystal Gem Pearl, Garnet doesn't look back on any part of the war with the Homeworld fondly, even calling a major battle they ''won'' as "a maelstrom of destruction and death".
* WeakButSkilled: Compared to most two-Gem fusions, Garnet is relatively weak and limited in offensive capabilities, but makes up for it in emotional stability and a more powerful future vision. "Relatively" being the key word here as she is a physical match for some of the strongest of single Gems.
* WhenSheSmiles: Garnet seems to be slowly, but surely allowing her emotions to show through her usually stoic nature. So whenever you see her smiling (for example, in "Rose's Room"), it's this trope. In the second opening, the first shot is Garnet sporting a ''huge grin''. It's absolutely heartwarming.
* WolverineClaws: Bismuth upgrades her gauntlets to include these.
* YinYangBomb: She's essentially a walking one of these, with her fusion combining fire and ice both in personality and power-set. WordOfGod is that fusions that combine opposites like these produce a more powerful result than ones that don't.
* YouAreInCommandNow: Became the leader of the Crystal Gems after Rose's death. Although she's a great battle commander, she does struggle when it comes to the team's emotional problems.

->'''Voiced by:''' Estelle
-> '''Pearl:''' If we were supposed to fight a 'giant foot,' Garnet would let us know.\\
'''Amethyst:''' Yeah, Garnet's the boss.\\
'''Pearl:''' Well, we're all a team. Garnet just has heightened perception that guides us towards our mission objective.\\
'''Amethyst:''' Yeah, ''she's the boss.''
Garnet is the de facto leader of the Crystal Gems, having taken over after the departure of Rose Quartz. She's a powerful, strong and disciplined warrior. A Gem of few words, Garnet is the most aloof member of team. However, when she does speak, everyone listens. She is usually very introspective, but living with Steven, she is beginning to come out of her shell a little.
----
[[foldercontrol]]
* TheAce: She's the [[LightningBruiser fastest, strongest]], [[LargeAndInCharge biggest]], [[NighInvulnerable toughest]], and [[TheStoic most unflappable]] of the Crystal Gems, and [[{{Seer}} she always knows exactly what to do]].
* AdjustingYourGlasses: Tends to adjust her visor often, usually as [[PstandardPsychicPstance an outward indication of using her Future Vision]]. It's also a sign that she's stressed.
* AfroAsskicker: She's the [[BadassInCharge unofficial leader of the Crystal Gems]], has the PowerFist, and her hair is a cube-shaped, curly afro.
* AliensOfLondon: Garnet is the only one of the Crystal Gems we've seen so far with a British accent. What's even odder about this is neither of [[FusionDance Garnet's two halves]], Ruby and Sapphire, have a similar accent.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: In addition to their admiration of Rose, Amethyst and Pearl do have one trait they share in that they both look up to Garnet for being so much stronger than they are, which is why the absolutely relish any chance they have to fuse with her. This actually creates the secondary conflict in "Cry For Help", when it is revealed that Pearl kept repairing the communications hub, distracting the Crystal Gems while Peridot was still loose, because she loved the feeling of being strong that fusing into Sardonyx gave her.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: She's the embodiment of Ruby and Sapphire's love for each other.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: She's in charge, and she can fight and defeat Pearl and Amethyst, quite literally, single-handedly, at the same time.
* BackportedDevelopment: Flashbacks to before the beginning of the series give her a characterization more similar to her current self than to TheStoic seen in earlier episodes, though it's possible that the character development in the series' present day is partially just Garnet returning to the way she was before Rose's death.
* BadassBoast: "Stronger Than You" is this in ''song form''. Garnet puts who she is, the love she represents, and how Jasper is never going to truly win against her in a wonderful, [[EarWorm Ear Wormy]] song. [[RuleOfCool Her doing this while both giving and receiving punches just makes it better]].
* BadassInCharge: The leader of the Crystal Gems, and considering her incredible strength and speed, for good reason.
* BadBadActing: Due in part to her being TheComicallySerious. During "Tiger Millionaire" she fakes being hit by a punch by tipping over like a felled tree, and her improvised heel speech is about as wooden. When she pretends to be 'Mum Universe', the first story she tries to come up with is about the children playing with swords and dying.
* BareYourMidriff: Garnet's casual outfit in "Beach Party" and her training attire in "Garnet's Universe".
* BattleCouple: An interesting variation: She IS a couple and kicks a lot of butt.
* BellyButtonless: Whenever Garnet wears [[BareYourMidriff midriff baring clothes]], she appears not to have a present bellybutton, possibly due to the fact that Gems (let alone Fusions) aren't born at all like humans.
* BerserkButton:
** Most cases of abuses of fusion. Once the initial shock and horror passes, Garnet is ''furious'' in "Keeping It Together" at what the Homeworld Gems have done, both with using fallen Crystal Gems as test subjects for the experiments, fusing their Gem shards together, and at the experiments themselves, which she feels is a perversion of the FusionDance technique. She was ''incensed'' at Pearl for distracting her with the communications hub problem just to give an excuse for them to form Sardonyx, betraying the trust fusion is based on and wasting time they could have spent hunting down Peridot (who was involved with the fusion experiments). It would take her four episodes to finally calm down.
** Insubordination in a highly dangerous situation. The other Gems fear making Garnet angry, and Steven finds out why in "Mirror Gem" when he defies her orders and refuses to hand over the eponymous mirror, whacking her in the face and knocking off her glasses to show a three-eyed DeathGlare. A similar problem arises in "Cry For Help", with Pearl using the very serious problem of Peridot sending out a distress call to Yellow Diamond as an excuse to repeatedly fuse with Garnet and feel better about herself as a result. Combine that with the above and you get one very angry Garnet...
** Saying fusion is inferior to a Homeworld Gem will reward you with a very uncomfortable time-out.
** ''Do not'' speak ill of Rose Quartz or denigrate the Earth and its life forms. Peridot learned this the hard way in "It Could've Been Great".
-->'''Garnet:''' ''You'', listen to me, ''now''. You are talking about things that you do not understand.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Garnet is the nicest of her friends (sans Steven). That being said...do '''not''' make her angry.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: As stoic and reserved as she is, Garnet is the strongest and fastest of the Crystal Gems and heaven help you if you make her angry.
* BlackBossLady: The de-facto leader of the Crystal Gems and has a humanoid avatar with African-styled features.
* BlessedWithSuck: She can predict and sort through all the likely events in the near future, which is incredibly useful. In "Future Vision", she implies it has a pretty horrible downside: she is constantly seeing, in vivid detail, the terrible consequences of every ''wrong'' choice she could possibly make.
-->'''Garnet:''' Steven, I see [[AdultFear so many things that can hurt you]].
* BritishStuffiness: Garnet is noticeably less uptight than most examples, but her stiff upper lip and smooth British accent certainly fit this trope.
* BrokenAce: {{Discussed}}. Garnet explicitly states in "Friend Ship" that she's not as perfect as everyone thinks she is and she has her own weaknesses, but tries to stay strong because she knows she has an impact on her friends.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Despite her being a hardened Gem warrior, Garnet has a caring and close relationship with her friends.
* BrutalHonesty: Garnet is more deadpan than blunt, but she expressed her dislike for Greg's music quite brutally: [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere by jumping out of the (still moving) van]] and deciding to spend the rest of the trip on top of the car's roof. This is turned on its head in "The Message", when, after the titular message is translated by Greg, Garnet very firmly thanks Greg for his assistance. The "brutal" part comes from her just as firmly silencing the other Crystal Gems so she could make that thanks, who were panicking over what the message actually told them. The jury is out if this was Garnet's attempts to stay calm herself though.
* CastingGag: Garnet's voice actress, Estelle, was born on January 18, and the garnet is the traditional birthstone of people who are born in January, which may make Garnet a MeaningfulName.
* CelebrityParadox: Her favorite music is by her voice actress, Estelle.
* CelibateHeroine: She has no interest in pursing a romance with anyone because she IS a relationship (the embodiment of one, to be more specific).
* TheChainsOfCommanding: She's an effective and loving leader, but does not know how to manage the emotional well-being of her team mates. This becomes a problem in "Cry For Help" when a insecure Pearl develops an addiction to the power she feels when she and Garnet fuse. Garnet eventually tells Pearl that contrary to what the other Gems think she ''does'' have flaws, but she doesn't let them define her since she's the leader and sometimes she looks up to Pearl for strength. She actually joins Steven and Greg on their road trip so she can have her (quite literal) emotional breakdown out of their sight.
* CharacterDevelopment:
** As she bonds with Steven, she becomes less stoic and starts showing more open affection and emotion while still maintaining her cool demeanor. By Season 2, not only does she smile more often than she did in Season 1, she's also more relaxed and playful like she was in the flashbacks.
** She was also the first to thank Greg for deciphering the Wailing Stone's message in "The Message" while Pearl and Amethyst were going bonkers over Lapis' message about the Homeworld Gems coming to Earth, showing that she is starting to think less of him as a burden.
* CharacterTics: Adjusts her glasses whenever she's stressed.
* ColdHam: She's TheStoic, but can pull some very dramatic lines and body language without changing her usual tone of voice.
* CombatClairvoyance: Garnet uses her future vision to assist the Crystal Gems in their future fights.
* TheComicallySerious: Silly things sometimes happen to/around her, and she never stops being serious.
-->'''Garnet:''' ''(Hair covered in feathers; deadpan)'' Hello, Steven.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Her voice carries authority.
* CoolBigSis:
** This is the nature of Garnet's relationship with Steven. While Amethyst is [[TheLadette Steven's partner in mischief]] and Pearl [[TeamMom is more of a mother figure]], Garnet is like a big, smart sister to Steven, always giving him good advice ([[TheStoic usually with more bluntness and less personal opinion than Amethyst and Pearl]]) and serving as a role model. Garnet also lets Steven make his own mistakes and learn his own lessons when possible, like when she took Steven with him when the team had to split up in "Serious Steven". Finally, she's usually the one most in tune with Steven's emotional needs, like when she gave him the advice to just talk to Connie and making sure Amethyst and Pearl didn't interfere.
** It is also common to interpret her relationship with Steven as motherly, just in a different way than with Pearl. Many moments have the two interact in a mother-son way such as Garnet going along with Steven's playing hide and seek with her, calling him "cutiepie", always being the Gem targeted by his "puppy eyes" [[NotSoStoic which she can't say no to]], saying he's grounded when she's mad at him, their hugs are very tender (usually when Garnet saves him), Steven may be casually seen sitting on her lap when interacting with the Gems, etc. There's also the adorable part in "When it Rains" where Garnet, not in any life-threatening situation but simply because she wants to, shapes her hands into a heart and tells Steven she loves him before going on a mission.
* CoolShades: Garnet has a nice pair of reflective shades that take up half her face. Turns out they conceal a third eye. She can also transform them into goggles for swimming.
* CuttingTheKnot: When Pearl and Amethyst's plans inevitably fail, Garnet will resort to hitting things. It usually works.
* DanceBattler: Not her most common style, but her battle with Jasper has her dancing and swaying to music.
* DeadpanSnarker: She'll occasionally make jokes, maintaining her usual tone of voice.
-->'''Pearl:''' Are we really going to let him keep that?\\
'''Garnet:''' We kept Amethyst.
* DeathGlare: Steven learned in "Mirror Gem" just how angry she can be when she got backhanded.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: With the reveal in "The Answer" that cross-gem type fusions are considered forbidden abominations on her homeworld, it's hard not to read Garnet's fusion as a metaphor for gay, inter-caste or interracial marriage. Driven home in her part of the full opening song; when the gems are singing their motivations for protecting earth, hers is "I will fight for the place where I'm free / To live together and exist as me."
* DualityMotif: Garnet has three eyes, one red, one blue and one violet, because she's a fusion of Ruby, who has two eyes, and Sapphire, who is a {{Cyclops}}. The violet eye is them finding balance.
* DueToTheDead: Is horrified at what the Homeworld did to her fallen brethren, whom she had spent a long time searching for.
* EternalLove: Is made of this, for over ''5,700'' years.
* ExtraEyes: Garnet has three eyes, the right one is red, the left one is blue and the middle one is violet.
* {{Fangirl}}: Garnet's favorite music is the works of Estelle according to Rebecca Sugar, appropriate considering Estelle is her voice actress.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Both her outfits show some of this in their designs and colors. Most likely due to her nature as a fusion. The second has a distinct red and blue tint on opposing sides.
** The first couple of times Ruby and Sapphire fused, Garnet invoked this to an even greater extent; Her outfit was a literal fusion of pieces of clothing from her components. On top of that, her hair was [[MulticoloredHair an uneven mix of pink and blue]].
* FighterMageThief: The Fighter of the group who depends on physical strength and durability the most.
* FingerlessGloves: Garnet wears long, elbow-length gloves that only cover her middle fingers.
* FireIceLightning: Sorta does all three on her own. Garnet has lightning powers, Ruby has fire powers, and Sapphire has ice. It's noteworthy that a combination of hot air and cold air form storm clouds.
* {{Foil}}: To Malachite. Malachite is a fusion born of hate and desperation, while Garnet is a fusion born of love and compassion.
** Even more, knowing the circumstances behind Garnet's creation as of "The Answer". Both she and Malachite were created by a snap decision. However, whereas Malachite was born out of Jasper's scorn and desire for vengeance, Garnet was born from Ruby's need to protect Sapphire.
* FunnyAfro: Her afro is notable in that it's cube-shaped rather than spherical.
* GeniusBruiser: Garnet is the strongest of her friends and the most savvy. This is lampshaded by Steven in "Keeping it Together":
-->'''Steven:''' Oh. Oh! You're brains ''and'' brawn! The whole package!
* GentleGiant: Sort of. She's not afraid to fight and can really hit hard, but she gives off this vibe around Steven what with the way she'll gently ruffle his hair or go along with whatever wacky thing he wants to do.
* GoodParents: While all of the Gems care about Steven, Garnet is the one who has the most faith in him, believing he can and will control his Gem powers in good time.
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: After Ruby and Sapphire re-fuse, Garnet now has a purplish color theme.
* GrinOfAudacity: Sports one for most of her fight against Jasper. Considering her [[TheStoic usual demeanor]], it's a pretty big deal when she breaks out that big, beautiful smile.
* HartmanHips: Just look at them! Steven calls attention to this in "Rose's Room", saying she would fit into Greg's baggy golf pants. Which she does. It has also been noted that one of her legs is larger than Pearl's whole body.
* HeroicBSOD: Seeing the forced fusion of the missing Crystal Gems mangled together by the Homeworld is enough to utterly paralyze her, which leaves her vulnerable to breaking apart.
* HiddenDepths:
** [[TheStoic She of all people]] turns out to ''really'' like video games.
** Garnet gives really good love advice, which is to be expected when she's a relationship.
** She and Greg are apparently really good friends and play tennis together regularly.
* ImprobableHairstyle: No matter what happens, whether it's in a fight or swimming through lava, Garnet's square afro stays in place.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Whenever the need arises for a fusion she'll have to choose between Pearl and Amethyst, unaware that the other party is left feeling hurt and inadequate due to being left out.
* LargeAndInCharge: She towers over her teammates at a minimum of seven feet tall.
* TheLeader: Unofficial but de facto leader of the Crystal Gems, since she is the only one that can sense incoming threats. Her levelheadedness also makes her well-suited to moderating the more polarized personalities in the team. She makes a point of respecting and listening to the other Gems, though, and Pearl (as seen in the header quote) seems uneasy about the idea of Garnet as a literal leader, suggesting that Garnet is reluctant to officially step into the role Rose Quartz left vacant.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Her associative instrument is a high, distinctive synth sound. After her regeneration in "Jailbreak," a synth bass (different from Amethyst's) was added as well. Her instruments are most clearly demonstrated in her song from the same episode, [[https://soundcloud.com/aivisura/steven-universe-stronger-than-you-feat-estelle "Stronger Than You."]]
** The melody that Sapphire sings in "Jailbreak" is closely tied to the fusion between her and Ruby. It's incorporated into "Stronger Than You", and in "The Answer" we are shown its origin during the song "Something Entirely New".
* LightningBruiser: Both the strongest and the fastest of the Gems.
* LiteralMinded: PlayedForLaughs several times.
-->'''Steven:''' (providing video game instructions) Just punch and you'll be fine.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: In a lesser extent than Steven, but both Amethyst and Pearl look out for Garnet in order to have some self-assurance on their own issues. See AlwaysSomeoneBetter above.
** Ruby and Sapphire are both a crutch for each other, Ruby becoming next to useless with fear and self-doubt without Sapphire around to reassure her. Sapphire depends on Ruby just as much, but being rather stoic and having future sight, she is less obvious about it.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Garnet tells Jamie in "Love Letter" [[DefiedTrope that love at first sight doesn't exist]] because true love requires time and work and at least knowing each other. In "The Answer", we see that Ruby and Sapphire did somewhat fall in love within their first meeting, but their constant fusion over several millennia still affirms her statement that ''staying'' in love takes effort.
* MamaBear: Will occasionally become this for Steven. Special mention goes to "The Return" where she absolutely ''loses'' it towards Jasper for targeting him.
* MadeOfGood: Garnet considers herself this, seeing herself as the embodiment of Sapphire and Ruby's love.
* MeaningfulName:
** In gemstone mythos, garnets are known as stones that provide protection to their users from evil.
---> '''Steven:''' Garnet, you keep us safe by scaring off the bad guys. [[ParentalSubstitute Just like a mom would!]]
** Estelle's birthdate is January 18, and people born in January have a garnet [[note]]the actual real-life gemstone[[/note]] as their birthstone.
* MismatchedEyes: All ''three'' of her eyes are different colors, each corresponding in some way to her fusion (one red eye representing Ruby, one blue eye representing Sapphire, and her third eye is purple, the combination of red and blue).
* MorphicResonance: She has Sapphire's hourglass figure and puff sleeves, and Ruby's coloration and square afro.
* MorphWeapon: In "Warp Tour," Garnet is able to increase the size of her gauntlets, easily quadrupling their size, and deal increased damage at the cost of reduced speed. This was also hinted during "Garnet's Universe" and could also suggest that Steven knew about it before its proper debut.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Her arms are as thin as sticks, yet she's the strongest of the Crystal Gems.
* NiceGirl: While she does have her flaws, Garnet is the nicest of the Crystal Gems (sans [[AllLovingHero Steven]] and [[FriendToAllLivingThings Rose]]). She displays the most trust and respect in Steven and isn't as bigoted towards humans like Pearl and Amethyst; she even refers to Earth as ''her home''.
* NonPOVProtagonist: Along with Steven, Amethyst and Pearl, she is one of the four main protagonists of the show. But said show is exclusivly told from Steven's Perspective.
* NoSell: She can swim in lava and is immune to electricity-based attacks (probably due to her own electricity-generating powers).
* NotSoAboveItAll: What with Garnet's personality as TheComicallySerious, it's easy to assume she is 'above' the other's antics, and she does sometimes have a no-nonsense attitude. But while she may keep a stoic demeanor, she often willingly goes along with weird things Steven or Amethyst want to do without the slightest hint of complaint.
--> '''Steven:''' If they got to spend some time with you, they'd realize how fun, and smart, and mysterious you are!\\
'''Garnet:''' Hehe, 'mysterious.'
* NotSoStoic: As the series progresses, she starts to show facial expressions a little more often. Look at her in the episode "Garnet's Universe"; she's smiling the whole time she's playing along with Steven's antics. This is especially the case regarding Steven learning fusions; her first noticeable facial expression is a huge grin at seeing Stevonnie, and she ''completely freaks out'' upon being introduced to Smoky Quartz.
* OddFriendship: Garnet and Greg, of all people, are rather good friends. She was highly supportive of his pursuit of Rose and according to WordOfGod they play tennis together regularly.
* OneWayVisor: Her sunglasses, which cover three eyes in a different color each.
* OnlySaneWoman: Being the most together Gem, she often has to rein in the others.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Garnet admits to being ''scared'' of [[spoiler: Blue Diamond]], it shows just how dangerous [[spoiler: the Diamonds]] are.
* OpenMindedParent: As opposed to Pearl, she's more willing to listen to Steven and let him figure things out by himself.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: She may be the tallest Crystal Gem, but she is the second-smallest fusion in the entire series.
* PlayingWithFire: Though she never generates fire herself, she can swim through lava without issue, which is why she goes to retrieve the Earth Beetle. [[http://shikai-of-the-4th-world.tumblr.com/post/98609800488 According to]] WordOfGod, this is an ''ice bath'' to her, while the core of the ''sun'' would be a hot tub. This ability comes from Ruby, who can generate extreme heat.
* PowerFist: Her WeaponOfChoice, summoned from the gems in her hands. Bismuth upgrades them to include spiked knuckles.
* ThePowerOfLove: As expounded upon in her IAmSong, Garnet is more than a mere fusion of Ruby and Sapphire. Their love for each other and their friends is what drives her. It's also what makes them such a perfect and long-lasting fusion. Just for comparison, it's a minor miracle if Pearl and Amethyst can maintain their fusion for six minutes. Ruby and Sapphire can maintain theirs indefinitely. The only things that can separate them are if they choose to, their body being destroyed, or a severe emotional conflict.
* {{Pride}}: A rare case of this being a good thing; her pride in her status as a fusion affirms her strength against Jasper. That said, she can occasionally take her pride in her abilities too far, which is part of why Sugilite is so unstable.
-->'''Garnet:''' We don't need to be careful. We just need to be ''[[SmugSuper huge]]''.
* PromotedToParent: In the flashbacks when Rose was still alive, Amethyst dressed and acted like a five-year-old child, while Pearl and Garnet acted more like they were teenagers. Now that's Rose gone, Garnet became the mother figure of the group - a role she struggles with since she's either unable or unwilling to help Pearl and Amethyst with their emotional issues, until they become problematic enough that they effect team missions.
* PronounTrouble: Played with during her song "Stronger Than You". For most of the song, Garnet switches between "we" and "I" pronouns, likely because Ruby and Sapphire had just re-fused and she was still adjusting herself. But during the final verse, when she finally turns the fight around on Jasper, she switches to "I" and "me" exclusively, and refers to Ruby and Sapphire as separate to herself, cementing her complete re-fusion.
* PstandardPsychicPstance: Does this often, though not always, when she's focusing on [[{{Seer}} Future Vision]].
* PurpleIsPowerful: She has a couple of light purple elements the first color scheme we see in the series. After Ruby and Sapphire refuse into Garnet, her new color scheme has more of a purplish tint.
* TheQuietOne: She rarely speaks at all. When she does, she almost never uses more words than absolutely necessary to get her point across.
* RankUp: After Rose's death, Garnet became the leader of the Crystal Gems.
* Really700YearsOld: Garnet was formed about 5,750 years ago when Ruby and Sapphire accidentally fused. Her component Gems are even older than that.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Most willing to listen to, or at least humor, Steven and others out of the Crystal Gems.
* RedIsHeroic: Her outfit is mostly red and she's TheLeader of the main heroes.
* TheReliableOne: Out of the four Gems, she's the most reliable and careful. When the Gems get into trouble, a typical solution is to 'Go get Garnet'.
* RocketPunch: She fires her gauntlets as projectiles in "Watermelon Steven."
* RomanticFusion: She's a fusion of two Gems so madly in love with each other that they stay fused all the time. Garnet is explicitly the embodiment of Ruby and Sapphire's love.
* RubberWoman: Garnet can use her shapeshifting powers to elongate and enlarge her arms.
* {{Seer}}: She seems to be aware of incoming danger and events, which is why Pearl and Amethyst prefer to do missions with her than without. Expanded upon in "Future Vision", where she describes her third eye as allowing her to see possible outcomes of future events and make the best choices given what she can see at the time. She seems to be able to command this vision at will as well.
* ShesGotLegs: Garnet has especially long, shapely legs and even shows them off in "Beach Party".
* ShipperOnDeck:
** In hindsight, her reaction to Stevonnie makes it clear she's one for Steven and Connie, after the reveal that she's a fusion of two lovers herself.
** In "We Need To Talk", the flashback shows Garnet giving Greg love advice in regards to Rose.
* ShockAndAwe: She has electric powers as a result of Sapphire's ice and Ruby's fire. She can generate at least enough electricity to power an unplugged arcade game and charge a car battery, and is capable of redirecting lightning bolts. It took quite a while for this ability to actually be used in combat, but she eventually redirects an enemy's electrical attack and sends lightning across the ground as an attack.
* ShouldersOfDoom: Combines this with GiantPoofySleeves. Transfers this quality over when fusing into Alexandrite.
* SitcomArchnemesis: Apparently with Kofi Pizza. She has a tendency to destroy his property without caring about his reaction.
* SoProudOfYou: Her smile at the sight of Stevonnie, the proof of Steven being able of successfully fusing, after she stated that she believed he would be able to pull it off, has heavy undertones of being this trope.
* TheSpock: She's ''always'' calm and thinks logically.
* SpiritedCompetitor: While mostly level-headed, she occasionally demonstrates a fierce competitive spirit. This is best seen while playing volleyball, Steven Tag, and arcade games.
* {{Squee}}: She had the biggest {{Squee}} when Steven and Connie fused into Stevonnie.
** And when Steven and Amethyst fused into Smoky Quartz.
* StatuesqueStunner: Garnet is the tallest of the group and at least one person considers her beautiful. Also the fact that she's a fusion created from a loving relationship between Ruby and Sapphire probably counts towards that as well.
* TheStoic: [[NotSoStoic Almost]] always keeps her cool.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's sugary nice towards Steven. The Ice part comes from her being TheStoic and TheQuietOne most of the time, though she's never actually mean.
* SunglassesAtNight: She wears her visor day or night and even in dark caves. Its main purpose seems to be covering her third eye so she doesn't freak out any humans she might encounter.
* SuperEmpowering: She can momentarily pass along her visions with a kiss to the forehead, demonstrated with Steven.
* SuperStrength: Seems to be the physically strongest of the Gems; she's able to hold back a mother centipeetle's tail, chuck Amethyst hundreds of feet away, and easily overpowers Amethyst (even when she's taking her much larger Purple Puma form).
* SuperToughness: She reveals that she can swim in lava in "Giant Woman", and is the only one of the three that can. WordOfGod [[http://shikai-of-the-4th-world.tumblr.com/post/98609800488 states she's actually much tougher than this]] and the ''core of the sun'' would be the equal of a ''hot tub'' to her.
* TalkingToThemself: A truly rare moment of weakness for a fusion like Garnet. Witnessing the [[BodyHorror horrific fusion experiments]] Homeworld is conducting is so traumatizing, that Ruby and Sapphire end up letting out their individual fury and disbelief while still fused as Garnet. While this is going on, the camera flips to only show one side of her face at a time, each with different expressions. It happens again in "Keystone Motel" as she tries to handle Pearl's betrayal of her trust; unlike before, she ends up splitting into Ruby and Sapphire before she's done.
* TaughtByExperience: Garnet seems to be fond of this teaching method. Whenever Pearl starts being too overprotective, she puts her foot down and lets Steven work things out on his own.
* TeamDad: She scolds the other Gems for mocking Steven in the pilot and in later episodes she will be the most likely to try and get Steven to solve problems on his own. In "Secret Team", the others desperately try to hide a dangerous mistake from her and are more focused on arguing with each other (Amethyst and Pearl) or being part of a "secret team" (Steven) than the damage the mistake could have caused. When she finds out, [[ScareEmStraight she stages a fake monster attack to get their attention]] and [[WhatTheHellHero scolds them for them letting petty divisions distract them from being a team]]. The jacket Steven gives her to wear in "Maximum Capacity" even says [[http://68.media.tumblr.com/59a198efba9bc57100d7a6ac60d72675/tumblr_nla5dtLpXF1tize68o1_1280.png "Cool Dad!"]]
** Subtly acts as one to Peridot during "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E29LogDate7152 Log Date 7 15 2]]", offering her approval when she tries new things on Earth and admonishment when she pushes Greg off the barn roof to see if humans could fly.
* ThirdEye: Has one covered by her shades, allowing her to see possible future outcomes at any given moment.
* TookALevelInBadass: Her existence is one for Ruby and Sapphire. Individually, they are a RedShirt and [[NonActionGuy Non-Action Girl]] respectively, but when fused, Garnet can go toe-to-toe with [[SuperSoldier Quartzes]] like Jasper.
* ToughLove: How she leads the team, in contrast to Rose. She's caring and fair, but stern and no-nonsense. Unfortunately it has the unintentional side effect of exacerbating Pearl's and Amethyst's personal problems.
* TriangleShades: She almost always wears her triangular futuristic orange tinted shades, which cover all three of her eyes. After Ruby and Sapphire refused, her shades are now colored in a soft pink and blue color, instead of pale orange, and different light sources cause different colors to reflect off of them.
* TricksterMentor: Her preferred method of dealing with Amethyst and Pearl's emotional issues is to send them on a mission with Steven, so he can help them work through them. This approach has its limits since Steven is still fairly young after all, and he has issues of his own.
* UsedToBeMoreSocial: A mild example. Flashbacks show that Garnet ''still'' had no social skills with humans, but she was more emotionally open before Rose's "death".
* WarIsHell: Unlike her fellow senior Crystal Gem Pearl, Garnet doesn't look back on any part of the war with the Homeworld fondly, even calling a major battle they ''won'' as "a maelstrom of destruction and death".
* WeakButSkilled: Compared to most two-Gem fusions, Garnet is relatively weak and limited in offensive capabilities, but makes up for it in emotional stability and a more powerful future vision. "Relatively" being the key word here as she is a physical match for some of the strongest of single Gems.
* WhenSheSmiles: Garnet seems to be slowly, but surely allowing her emotions to show through her usually stoic nature. So whenever you see her smiling (for example, in "Rose's Room"), it's this trope. In the second opening, the first shot is Garnet sporting a ''huge grin''. It's absolutely heartwarming.
* WolverineClaws: Bismuth upgrades her gauntlets to include these.
* YinYangBomb: She's essentially a walking one of these, with her fusion combining fire and ice both in personality and power-set. WordOfGod is that fusions that combine opposites like these produce a more powerful result than ones that don't.
* YouAreInCommandNow: Became the leader of the Crystal Gems after Rose's death. Although she's a great battle commander, she does struggle when it comes to the team's emotional problems.
