Garnet isn't a character because she's just a fusion and not her own person, and any traits she displays are actually those of her components. But Ruby and Sapphire don't count as characters because they have so little screen time and the only trait they display on their own is wanting to be Garnet again.
But consider this. If Garnet displays a personality trait, whose personality is it? Hers, Ruby's, or Sapphire's?
It's unfair to say she's not a character because she's a fusion. Technically, that would make her two characters, and in practice she's entirely capable of being characterized. Everything she does is something that Ruby and Sapphire do together. Her pride, her anger, her love for her friends, her dry wit, the way she handles her powers, the pressure she feels as a leader, those are all part of them and their relationship.
Garnet being a fusion means she isn't just one character, but she's definitely more than zero.
