Character Information
Name: Steven Universe
Canon: Steven Universe
Canon Point: After SUF episode 'Little Homeschool'
Age: 16 (???)
History: Here!
Personality:
✦ Compassionate: The thing most memorable about Steven Universe is undoubtedly his unyielding compassion for other people and creatures - to the point that he has gained status as a revolutionary, almost messianic figure on the Gem Homeworld. Of course, in reality he is truly very human - he makes errors in his attempts to help people at times, and doesn’t always read a situation right. The key thing is that his heart is always open for others, and even for those that have caused him a lot of personal hurt. He feels compassion for others even when they give him very little reason to. Any signs of pain or even the most subdued cries for help will have Steven searching for the good inside of a person - even if it ultimately costs him. Growing into a teenager has made him slightly more weary (and let’s face it, traumatized) but he’s still willing to put in the effort for just about anybody. Often, to a fault.
✦ Harmonious: Steven dislikes conflict, and in his youth, often found it difficult to stand up for his own needs for fear of causing strife. As he’s matured, he’s gotta a bit better at speaking his mind when it comes to negative feelings, but there is still a lot he locks away for the sake of keeping the peace - his first priority is almost always solving people’s problems and reducing friction. In fact, his compulsive need to resolve issues can become overbearing and chafing when he’s at his worst. He’s grown up with the idea that his main use to other people is to be helpful and ‘keep the harmony’ and so when he is unable to do that he takes it as a great personal failing. It doesn’t help that history has shown him that angry gems will often force him to take the brunt of their upset, even if he is in no way at fault. Out of a need for a sense of purpose, Steven almost aggressively pushes for harmony among others, even if it results in him ultimately making things worse. If he can’t help people, what is he good for?
✦ Goofy: Despite often having the weight of the world on his shoulders, Steven is still really a goofball at heart. Though he’s developed some new teenaged prickles as he matures, he still has a somewhat whimsical air to the way he reacts to things. Such as, when his guardians are trying to goad him into a game of tag, the reasonable answer would be to say no and not react to being ‘tagged’. Instead, Steven opts to scream and jump off of a balcony to avoid them, all while yelling about how he refuses to play. He’s matured a lot over the years, but he still has a playful heart when he’s not being bogged down by his mounting emotional problems.
✦ Avoidant: Given the options, Steven would almost always prefer to keep his problems private. He handles his own pain by simply trying to not think about it - pushing his own personal issues out of sight and out of mind, while fixating on the issues of other people. A lot of this is driven by the entrenched need to not be a burden to his loved ones - he sees his own pain as an inconvenience to those around him, and so he tries to keep it hidden, as if they will not be interested in him anymore if he becomes a squeaky wheel. He’ll get frustrated and complain, but usually in a roundabout way, and is quick to drop something rather than go after someone for it. It takes a lot to make him tackle something head on - as much as he’d like to drown out his issues with aggressive positivity, it’s getting harder and harder for him to do so.
✦ Haunted: Steven spent several years of his childhood being hounded for crimes he was not guilty of, and ultimately being a caretaker for the adults around him. At multiple points, the fate of the entire Earth, or of an entire species, have come down to his ability to resolve something. This pressure, and the experiences around them, have left a mark. He has a damaged and conflicting relationship with his late mother, and a strained sense of personal identity. He’s done a lot of good, for his family and for the universe, but it’s come at a personal cost. As of yet, he hasn’t found a good way to sort out his own internal issues, and the events of the past follow him, no matter how much he’d like to leave them behind forever.
Where and how did your character enter the Hedge?
Steven was driving his car into the woods around Beach City to eat a depression pizza by himself, and accidentally ploughed straight into the hedge.
Additional Memories Lost:
✦ Beach City: Steven forgets everything about Beach City as a place on Earth, besides the temple and the strong notion that he lived by the ocean. He remembers people from Beach City, but he doesn’t remember how they all relate to each other, or what any of the buildings or businesses were like. For instance, he remembers some things about his townie friends like Sadie, but not the context in which he knew them.
✦ The Resolution to ‘Change Your Mind’: He forgets the details of how he made peace with the Diamonds, and he forgets that the corrupted gems were healed as a result. He remembers stuff after that, like travelling around the galaxy to do diplomacy stuff with the Diamonds, but he’s missing how they got from point A to point B. He does remember that White pulled his gem out, though.
✦ The Movie: Steven forgets most things about the movie besides him getting dunked on by Spinel, the idea of the injector and the original struggles with it, the idea of the rejuvenated gems, his mom’s old garden, and his final confrontation with Spinel on the injector. He doesn’t really know how any of these things got from A to B. It’s mostly in terms of “something bad happened to me/my family.”
✦ His early years: he forgets most stuff about his early upbringing, except for occasional bits about living with his dad in a van, and being taught music by him.
✦ How his parents met: He doesn’t remember how Greg and Rose met, or most of the stuff surrounding that - he mostly just knows that they were in love and that she died to give birth to him.
✦ Unimportant Information: He forgets a lot of random, unimportant information, like stuff he was doing on days where nothing noteworthy was happening. Basically, he forgets the context and connective tissue between a lot of important events, which leaves even the important things he does remember stranded. So, essentially, he forgets most of the stuff that happens between episodes.
✦ Stuff from the Timeskip We Don’t Know Yet: Steven conveniently forgets whatever he needs to forget in order for me to avoid being jossed.
Skillsets:
✦ Musical Savant: Steven is very naturally talented at music, has perfect pitch, and has plenty of experience with singing and composing musical pieces. His dad was running out of things to teach him about playing ukulele when he was still seven years old. He can play several other instruments.
✦ General Creative Skills: While a less refined than his musical ability, Steven is an enthusiastic artist, actor, sometimes chef, and really anything else that seems like it might be fun to try.
✦ Diplomacy: Steven has always been skilled at mediation and working with people, and now he’s spent the last two years helping to dismantle a galaxy-wide space empire. He’s an important political figure among the Gem species, even if he makes decisions mostly from his heart.
✦ Combat Competency: He is capable of holding his own in a fight, mostly based around the structure of shield combat.
✦ Event Coordination: Steven planned and directed a small wedding when he was fourteen years old. He also goes on to run and plan the schedule for an entire school program not long after his current canon point.
