Garnet is a Fighter from the Steven Universe (Universe) in MultiVersus.
Origin[]
Garnet is one of the main characters from the 2013 Cartoon Network animated series Steven Universe. She's the current de-facto leader of the Crystal Gems, as well as the fusion between the Homeworld Gem soldier Ruby and the Blue Diamond's court member Sapphire. Garnet's Gem Weapons consist of her Gauntlets, and her skillset notably includes an enhanced form of Sapphire's Future Visions.
According to the main lead writer for MultiVersus, Garnet's portrayal in the game comes from around the second season of Steven Universe.[1]
Official Biography[]
Protector of Earth and possessor of unshakeable rhythm.
Garnet is the leader of the Crystal Gems - A group of extraterrestrial rebels hiding out on Earth. Along with the other Gems (and Steven), Garnet has sworn to protect the Earth from any invaders. She is actually the fusion of two Gems - Ruby & Sapphire - and might just be the most stable Fusion in existence. She may seem cold and stoic, but Garnet has a huge heart and will do anything to protect those in her care.[2]

| DOWN 🡇 + K |
GEM DASH Garnet places a marker. Press input again to dash to it and grab an enemy along the way, throwing them back upon arriving. The marker will attach to allies who touch it.

Trivia[]
- When the game first released, Garnet's in-game colors were slightly different compared to the colors used for her Default Variant's and some of her Taunts' renders. This was later fixed in Season 2.
- Garnet, Bugs Bunny (in his Hollywood Bugs Variant), and Reindog are currently the only Fighters in the game to have had their defeat animations changed from the Closed Alpha. Before the change, Garnet's defeat animation showed her poofing as a reference to the Steven Universe episode “The Return”. However, in the Open Beta, it was changed to her getting angry before sitting down and butterflies fly to her hand referencing the song “Here comes a thought” from the episode “Mindful Education”.
- Garnet's Neutral Specials are named after the song of the same name she sung in the Steven Universe Season 1 Finale, "Jail Break".
- The Hit Me If You're Able Utility Perk is also a reference to said song.
