Lars Barriga

Lars is a character that debuted in the Pilot. He is a minor antagonist, but only towards Steven Universe. He works at the Big Donut with Sadie, which is next to the home of the Crystal Gems.

Appearance
Lars wears gauges in his ear-lobes. His curly orangish brown hair is styled into a mohawk. He usually wears a grey long-sleeved shirt with a green shirt that has a snake design on it, he also wears ripped dark grey jeans. His work uniform is a violet t-shirt with a half-eaten donut design on it.

Personality
Simply put, Lars has a jerky personality which stems from his low self-esteem. To compensate, he routinely razzes Steven, who is an easy target. He likes to aggravate him by discrediting the Crystal Gems, although he might just be jealous that Steven gets to hang out with "a bunch of hot girls" ("Pilot"). Like many Beach City citizens, Lars is aware of Steven's powers but he doesn't think much of them. In "Gem Glow," he teases Steven that he could make his own Cookie Cats with the Gem. Lars can be immaturely thoughtless at times such as when he disrespects Steven's mom Rose Quartz in "Lars and the Cool Kids". More often than not, Steven either misses or ignores Lars' taunts because he believes he's a good person deep down.
