A few minutes ago I just typed out 6 paragraphs worth of text and hit reply but then nothing showed up. It'll take a while to give you the full story but basically Dixie Maverick was the daughter of Nathaniel Maverick and Onyx. She was born in an isolated rural town called Purity, a place she would later discribe as being "full of stupid ignorant hicks".

The day Dixie was born the doctor who delivered her saw Onyx evaporate into light a moment after Dixie entered the world. The people of Purity never knew exactly who or what Onyx was and they didn't know what Dixie was either. The strange circumstances of Dixies birth combined with the black gemstone permenantly embedded in her chest marked her as an outcast.

From the day she was born people were afraid of Dixie. Parents didn't want their children playing with her at daycare or kindergarten. After that in school the other children would either ingnore her or bully and torment her. The teachers could never be relied upon to protect her but the school always punished her if she tried to fight back. Unable to retaliate Dixie learned to speak softly and politely, turn the other cheek, and bottle up her anger and hatred.

When she was 12 years old, Purity was in the path of a horde of monsters that was going on a rampage through the southern states. Everywhere the horde had gone before, they would simply trample whatever buildings, trees, cars, or people happened to be in their path and continue on their way. But in Purity, the Crystal Gems finally caught up with the Horde. The day the Crystal Gems battled the Horde was the day Dixie met Steven Universe...
