Garnet is a fictional character from the animated series Steven Universe, created by Rebecca Sugar. She is a Gem, a fictional alien being that exists as a magical gemstone projecting a holographic body. Garnet is a fusion — i.e., two Gems combining personalities and appearances as one shared holographic body — formed by two Gems named Ruby and Sapphire, who choose to remain permanently fused out of love for each other. Garnet is voiced by Estelle, a performance that has seen a positive reception. Garnet has been frequently praised for being a depiction of a positive lesbian relationship.
