Added DiffLines:

* FusionDissonance: Cross-Gem fusion in general tends to lean towards this despite MorphicResonance being present, especially when three or more Gems get involved in a fusion; fusions like Opal and Garnet clearly take things from their own fusees but are mostly their own individuals, while a fusion like [[spoiler:Obsidian]] looks so radically different from their components that the Gem placement [[spoiler:and Steven's shirt and pants in the second iteration]] are the only way to tell they're supposed to be a Crystal Gem fusion.


Added DiffLines:

* TakesOneToKillOne: Same-Gem fusion in general is depicted as a way to, per Jasper's words, give weaker Gems a chance to fight back against other Gems, but Cross-Gem fusions are almost always depicted as being unbeatable by non-Fusion Gems: The only people who've ever managed to fight back against a Cross-Gem fusion successfully, who ''weren't'' a fusion themselves, are Pearl, Jasper, Aquamarine, and Steven, and in all of these cases, Pearl had to use her environment in order to poof Sugilite, Jasper is practically one of the strongest soldiers in Homeworld's arsenal [[spoiler:and is the Quartz equivalent of the UltimateLifeForm]], Aquamarine had to use a wand in order to do her dirty work, and Steven [[spoiler:is a hybrid between a Human and a Diamond, one of the strongest Gems in existence.]]

Added DiffLines:

** On the Mohs scale (a tool that shows how easy a gem is scratched, with talc being 0 and diamond being 10), Jasper is a 6.5 to a 7 and Lapis Lazuli a 5 to a 6. Malachite, however, is a 3.5 to a 4 - i.e ''weaker'' than either of them.

Its cartoonish appearance, rubbery floppiness, and comical proportions give the impression of it as a rubber mallet stage prop, fitting her stage magician theme.

* {{Foil}}: She's a direct contrast to Sugilite as much as Amethyst is to Pearl — careful and precise in comparison to the other fusion's brute force. Sugilite is modeled as a professional wrestler, while Sardonyx is a stage magician: both performers, but with very different performances. Additionally, their AnimalMotifs are opposites; Sugilite is associated with dragons, vicious, brutish and destructive. Sardonyx, however, is associated with dragon''flies'', swift, colorful and graceful. Further, Sugilite's debut had her unwilling to unfuse until she was knocked unconscious, whereas Sardonyx gracefully returns to being Pearl and Garnet once she has fulfilled her task; both enjoyed existing and showing off for Steven, but while Sugilite grasped her existence and refused to let go, Sardonyx was simply happy for the opportunity.
** Also, ultimately using Sardonyx to destroy the Communications Hub was a worse idea than using Sugilite, but for opposite reasons. Sugilite was so reckless in destroying the tower that she was dangerous to everyone around her, and became the villain of [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E20CoachSteven "Coach Steven"]] because of her refusal to unfuse. The problem with Sardonyx was that her grace and power was addictive to Pearl and made her want to keep re-fusing, and gracefully disassembling the tower gave Pearl the opportunity to repair it.

* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Though never directly stated, Stevonnie is implied to be non-binary. Stevonnie is referred to as "they/them" — which could technically refer to being a fusion, but all the fusions without Steven are referred to with female pronouns. They never have any problem wearing whatever Steven and Connie had on when they fused, and in [[ComicBook/StevenUniverse the comic]] wore both male and female clothing — even both at once when dressed for a dance. When asked Stevonnie's gender, [[https://twitter.com/ianjq/status/578413033883508738 Ian Jones-Quartey]] said they're "[[MathematiciansAnswer an experience]]". More recent interviews have directly referred to Stevonnie as non-binary, as does their profile in an [[WebAnimation/DoveSelfEsteemProjectXStevenUniverse online short]] about social media.

* BloodKnight: After Lapis loses control, Malachite concludes that as long as she exists, she "might as well have some fun". This marks the point she begins referring to herself in the singular, implying her components have finally coalesced enough to constitute a singular personality embodying perpetual conflict.

* BloodKnight: After Lapis loses control, Malachite concludes that as long as she exists, she "might as well have some fun". This marks the point she begins referring to herself in the singular, implying her components have finally coalesced enough to constitute a singular personality embodying perpetual conflict. As Jaspers are meant to be powerful warriors, and the Lazulis we've met seem to exist solely to commit endless acts of mass destruction, this would seem appropriate.


Added DiffLines:

* MentalFusion: It's implied that Malachite breaking free is less from Jasper taking control, more that the distinct personality of "Malachite" has finally coalesced; she notably begins referring to herself in the singular shortly afterward. While Lapis intended to maintain the fusion as a perpetual prison, we know from [[Recap/StevenUniverdeS1E20CoachSteven Sugilite's]] example that a fusion's personality will overwhelm its components' over time, so it was only ever a temporary measure.

* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: While the mint green and bright red patches on her azure skin may look strange, this is actually something that is found in actual Bluebird Azurites with the green bits being Malachite, and the red bits being Cuprite.

The former is especially appropriate considering that, like Malachite herself, Bluebird is composed of a toxic relationship.



** Bluebird is also something of a foil to Malachite herself. Both are many-legged fusions born of hate. Malachite is an [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever absolutely massive]] fusion of two Gems who hate ''each other'', and the two components were actively wrestling for control, reflected in Malachite speaking with either Lapis or Jasper's voice rather than an independent voice. Bluebird is a [[TheNapoleon diminutive]] fusion of two Gems who both hate ''someone else'', and the two components seem to work well towards that end, reflected in Bluebird having her own voice.

* TheIrredeemableException: Ultimately the only enemy Steven has who neither changes for the better nor opts for a ceasefire. Her components are united solely in their hatred of him, they actively reject and resist his offer of redemption and they're last shown vowing to hate him forever.
