While I do LIKE Connie, I think she has a ton of problems as a character:

For one, I don't think there's much that's really INTERESTING about her. she's the ultra-talented child prodigy with a passion for reading books who goes on adventures sometimes, who has strict overbearing parents. that's not exactly anything new or interesting (Lisa Simpson, Twilight Sparkle, Cindy Vortex, Hermione Granger, a whole slew of anime characters, etc.), and they don't do a whole lot of new things with her, either.

Secondly, she just picks up things WAY too easily, IMO. She formed a fusion more perfect than Garnet on her first try, she mastered swordsmanship pretty quickly- with advanced flip techniques to boot, and her perfect fusion defeated JASPER on their first time fighting. Just watch- Stevonnie's gonna be the one to take down Yellow Diamond.

And Thirdly, the Crew just hasn't given her much in the way of a storyline. Yeah, she had her Gem Hunt failure to overcome and that Joe she beat up, but those were resolved almost the moment they were brought up! Her parents being strict took a bit longer, but it hardly got much focus before they wrapped that up in Nightmare Hospital. I'd like to see Connie separate from Steven a little, and develop a stronger character for herself instead of mostly being Steven's partner....
