Morganite replaced her original Pearl and Ruby and sentenced them to be shattered, causing them to flee into the abandoned Kindergarten under Homeworld, in order to escape punishment, and join the Off Colors, permanently fused as Rhodonite.Īs the Rutile Twins were taking Steven and Lars to a secret area of the underground Kindergarten, Rhodonite appeared alongside Padparadscha and Fluorite, initially wary of the two strangers. After discovering Rhodonite on the 18th rejuvenation, Morganite finally had enough. However, no matter how many times they were rejuvenated, each time the two Gems fell in love and fused with each other. Morganite then discovered the fusion, and rejuvenated her components as a result, causing the two to forget the whole event. One day, the Pearl and Ruby realized they had feelings for one another and fused into Rhodonite for the first time. Rhodonite's components acted as the personal Pearl and Ruby guard, respectively, to a artist gem named Morganite (who was responsible for designing the Diamond's palanquins). However, one can argue that this also has a silver lining, keeping a defensive look over the team.Īlthough not shown in the actual series itself, Rhodonite's origins were revealed in the artbook, End of an Era, as the plot of a scrapped episode for Steven Universe Future. Her panic and anxiety get in the way of her job as head of strategic operation in the Off Colors, as she'll more often than not discard options for being too risky. However, Rhodonite is also very kind and can be level headed at times. She is also extremely paranoid, possibly due to the eons spent hiding inside the underground Kindergarten on Homeworld. Rhodonite is shown to stress out a lot, and she is easily frightened.

Her outfit and hair design, looking like a mash-up of her constituent Gems' appearances rather than an even mix, are reminiscent of how Garnet looked when she first formed. She also possesses four eyes that are reminiscent of Rainbow Quartz, with the top pair being wide and expressive and having dark pupils like a Ruby, and the bottom pair being more closed and reserved and having light-colored pupils like a Pearl. She also wears a sheer pale pink shawl over the Pearl gem on her chest and has deep burgundy gloves from the elbow-down on her lower set of arms. She has a black ballet flat on her right foot and a mauve boot on her left. She wears a black and mauve jumpsuit with a diamond-shaped cutout at the navel, revealing her Ruby gem, and mauve leggings, with one leg that covers her entire right leg and the other only covering part of her left thigh.

As a fusion, Rhodonite has four arms, a pair of which are thick, like a Ruby's, and a pair on her waist that are thin, like a Pearl's. She has wide, black, afro-style hair with dark lavender highlights. Rhodonite has a build that somewhat resembles Garnet's, with raspberry pink skin and a long pointed nose that is slightly turned upward.
