Is there any big personality differences between WD! Steven and original Steven? I know you said that WD Steven is more into fashion than og Steven. Is there anything else? Or are they mostly similar?

They’re quite similar in their baselines, but because of their vastly different upbringing, they have some branching habits.

1) Canon!Steven is prone to yelling and loud outbursts because Greg never really discouraged him from being outgoing and silly, never doing more than chiding him gently when he surpasses the Necessary Volume Mark.

WD!Steven rarely yells unless it’s absolutely necessary, and in fact has a huge trauma regarding being yelled at. (Specifically by people physically larger than he is. Ruby is, in fact, him-sized, which is why he wasn’t largely concerned about her blowing off steam in front of him. That reaction would have been very different if it had been Garnet having the outburst.)

2) Canon!Steven loves people and tries to befriend everyone, easily forgiving even Lars for his constant outpour of insults. He forgives and forgets easily because Greg is also not one to hold a grudge. (But like Greg, Steven does have his limits - Greg’s limit is “he’s dead to me” Marty. Steven’s limit is Kevin.)

WD!Steven is just as friendly, but he is far less tolerant of people like Lars. He does tolerate Lars, but he also isn’t trying to impress him or be friends with him. Like canon!Steven, he seeks approval, but only from a select few people whose opinion he deems important.

He’s also far less forgiving - he doesn’t outright accuse Lars of anything, but he also doesn’t try to cover for him when they meet up again after the flood.

3) Canon!Steven is much more off-the-wall and spontaneous. He likes to do things because he likes doing them, and, especially in season 1, consequences are an afterthought. A lot of this is normal for a kid his age! Consequences are a thing you learn about in those formative years, so his progression from a fun-seeking kid to a more conscientious part of a team is natural and can be easily tracked as he matures.

WD!Steven, on the other hand, is doing things a bit backward. Running away with Earl was probably one of the very first spontaneous things he’s ever done. He is plan and detail oriented, and he is far more aware of the consequences of his actions - sometimes too aware. As seen in Season 3, he worries about every single decision and tries to dissect it for any signs of going wrong, which eventually leads him to overthinking about things, like when he decided to try to figure out the Lapis situation by himself instead of asking for help because he was convinced the gems would blame him.

He’s definitely beginning to learn to trust people more, but he’s very much still into the idea of fixing everything by himself - or that he HAS to fix things by himself.

He’s naturally inclined to want order over chaos… as for whether that’s a trait inherited from White Diamond or a coping mechanism that came about as a result of his stressful foster home life… well… that’s for you to decide.

I feel like these are the most common differences, but perhaps there are more? Feel free to add others if you noticed them!
