Garnet is a character from the animated series Steven Universe, created by Rebecca Sugar. Based on the real world mineral garnet, Garnet 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 British singer. Estelle's performance has seen a positive reception, particularly for her songs "Stronger than You" and "Here Comes A Thought." Garnet has been frequently praised for being a depiction of a positive sapphic relationship.

Sugar: […] the Gems are all non-binary women...They're coded female […] [T]hey appear to be female, but they're a little more representative of nonbinary women. They wouldn't think of themselves as women, but they're fine with being interpreted that way amongst humans.
