Steven is part of the Crystal Gems, an intergalactic group of warriors who protect the Earth from evil. Though he’s half human, he has unique powers that he develops with the help of Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl. His powers come from the gemstone, which is located where his belly button should be, that he inherited from his mother Rose Quartz.

Greg Universe is the father of Steven Universe, from a relationship with Rose Quartz, and owner of a small car wash. He was once somewhat important to the Crystal Gems, but today he is no longer need. Quite sad if I do say so myself.

In Steven Universe, Rainbow Quartz is a fusion gem created by Pearl and Rose Quartz.  She made her first appearance in the episode “We Need to Talk” during a recording session with Greg Universe. Note: for help on creating Rainbow Quartz’s eyes, check out this makeup tutorial. For help styling Rainbow Quartz’s bangs, check out this wig tutorial.

In Steven Universe, Yellow Pearl is a Gem who works as Yellow Diamond’s receptionist. In the style of her owner, she has a pointy yellow pixie haircut and pale yellow skin. Her gemstone, a yellow pearl, is on her chest and is a round polished cabochon, similar to Blue Diamond’s Pearl.

In Steven Universe, Sardonyx is the fusion of Pearl and Garnet (and by extension, Ruby and Sapphire). Sardonyx towers in size, she’s so tall that her hands are actually taller than Steven. She has vermillion skin and pale peach/apricot-colored hair, styled into a tetrahedron with very rounded corners. Her torso and legs greatly resemble Garnet’s, but have less mass. As a fusion, she has four arms and inherits the same locations of her gemstones as her fused cooperators.

In Steven Universe, Stevonnie is the first fusion between a half-Gem and a non-Gem. Stevonnie shares the minds and personalities of the two halves that they are made of. They have the friendliness and fun-loving attitude of Steven and the intelligence and anxiousness of Connie.
