I'm just goin' with the F L O W , baby.















Steven Universe was a show we thought was just about a boy coming to terms with magical powers.



It's so much more.



Created by former Adventure Time writer Rebecca Sugar, Steven Universe is entering its second season after an amazing second half and a fantastic two-part season finale. The show is about Steven, a member of a group known as the Crystal Gems, 3 aliens who rebelled against their homeworld to protect Earth from some unknown plan. The season finale had them come up against a group of Homeworld Gems, uncertain of what the future brings.



Crystal Gems





Steven Quartz Universe (Zach Callison)



The youngest and only male member of the Crystal Gems, Steven is half-gem half-human. Steven is coming to terms with the secrets the Crystal Gems have been hiding from him and learning to fully control his powers. His human side might just be the key to defeating the Homeworld Gems.





Garnet (Estelle)



Garnet is the unofficial leader of the Crystal Gems, though it's become clear that even she doesn't have all the answers. In the season 1 finale, it was revealed that Garnet is a fusion of two Gems known as Ruby and Sapphire.





Amethyst (Michaela Dietz)



Amethyst is the second-youngest member of the Crystal Gems and the most impulsive. In the latter half of season 1, we found out that Amethyst is not actually from the Gem Homeworld, but was created in a Gem facility on Earth known as a Kindergarten.





Pearl (Deedee Magno-Hall)



Pearl is the most fastidious and stretegically minded of the Crystal Gems, though she seems to be holding on by a hair lately. In the season 1 finale, she was referred to as a "lost, defective Pearl," the meaning of which is currently unknown.





Rose Quartz (Susan Egan)



Steven's mother, who gave up her physical form to bring him into the world. She is also the founder and former leader of the Crystal Gems, who lead them in the rebellion against the Homeworld Gems 5000 years ago. She sees beauty in everything, including the human race, and it's been shown that without her, the Crystal Gems don't know what to do.



Homeworld Gems





Peridot (Shelby Rabara)



The second non-Crystal Gem met in the series, Peridot is a cold and ruthless middle manager. nerd. Peridot was last seen taking something from Amethyst's Kindergarten.





Jasper (Kimberly Brooks)



Peridot's boss and the main antagonist of the season 1 finale. She is currently trapped at the bottom of the ocean after forcibly fusing with Lapis Lazuli.





Lapis Lazuli (Jennifer Paz)



The first non-Crystal Gem met in the series, Lapis was trying to get back to the Gem Homeworld when she was intercepted by Jasper. She is a very meek and passive individual, but managed to gather up enough courage to drag Jasper into the ocean after fusing into Malachite.



Yellow Diamond

Only mentioned by name in the season 1 finale, Yellow Diamond is assumed to be Jasper's superior and a leader of the Homeworld Gems. Location unknown.



Beach City Residents





Greg Universe (Tom Scharpling)



Steven's father. Greg only wants what's best for Steven and worries as Steven gets more embroiled in Gem business. He tries to keep out of Gem business, but he may know more about the Crystal Gem Rebellion than he's willing to tell Steven.





Connie Maheswaran (Grace Rolek)



Steven's best friend and possible crush, Connie didn't know what to make of this Gem business at first, but seems to have gotten used to it.





Lion (Dee Bradley Baker)



Steven's pet lion. He has a pocket dimension in his mane and definitely has some connection to Rose Quartz, though their actual relationship is unknown.





Sadie (Kate Miccuci) and Lars (Matthew Moy)



Two workers at the Big Donut doughnut shop and friends of Steven. Well, mostly Sadie. Lars is kind of a jerk. Sadie's got a crush on Lars, but Lars is an idiot who treats her like a chump.
