If they were still intact, there would be eight.
However, Garnet does not display extra arms, so the appearance of extra limbs may indicate some instability in the fusion. Another common trait among fusions is having more than two eyes. Many statues of Gems with multiple pairs of arms are seen in or depicted on ancient temples that belonged to the Crystal Gems, showing that multiple pairs of arms are a common trait among fusions.
Prime examples are the fusion Opal from "Giant Woman" and Sugilite from "Coach Steven," who both have two pairs of arms, and Alexandrite, who has six arms. Each Gem involved in the fusion often contributes an additional pair of arms. Also, each of the gemstones appear in the same locations of the Gems they fused with, such as Opal having gemstones on her head and chest Sugilite having gemstones on her hands and chest and Alexandrite having gemstones on her head, chest, and hands. This means that the pigments, clothing, weapons, hair, and overall body shape of the Gems are combined into one general look. An example of defusion is when Amethyst had attempted to eat, horrifying Pearl, causing Alexandrite to defuse.įusion Gems have the appearance of the two or more Gems they fused with. If unsuccessful, Gems will be ejected before finishing the entire transformation.ĭefusion is a process in which fusees experience conflict, spliting the fusion into it's component Gems. If successful, Gems transform into an amorphous mass of energy before fully forming the fusion. Malachite and Stevonnie, however, were shown to have separate thoughts with the latter pair showing it is possible for one mind to take over the body.įusions are formed when Gems perform a synchronized dance. This creates an entirely different entity, as opposed to two minds sharing a single body. When Gems fuse, not only their bodies, but their minds as well, fuse into one.
