Cloud Connie is a character who made her debut in the episode, "Rose's Room". She had her first major role in "Open Book".
Appearance
"Rose's Room"
Cloud Connie takes the look of Connie Maheswaran, dark skin, long, wavy brown hair, and red-tinted glasses. Her clothing is the same as Connie's. She wears a mint-green and white dress, along with a baby blue sash, and lime green socks, as well as salmon-colored boots. She also held the red glow stick bracelet that Steven gave back to her in "Bubble Buddies".
"Open Book"
Cloud Connie is shown wearing a faded pink-red cape with a buckle holding it together, a black eye-patch, along with a black dress with white wrappings on the arms and a gray pouch around the waist, pale baby blue stockings, and grayish-black boots up to her knees. In later scenes, she is shown wearing a white wedding gown with a gold buckle in the center, white gloves up to her elbows, white, fuzzy hair covers on the side of her head, and a white eye-patch.
"Sworn to the Sword"
Cloud Connie was mentioned by Steven when he was telling Pearl why she should teach Connie to sword fight.
Personality
"Rose's Room"
Like most of the other cloud replicas (except Cloud Greg) she has next to no personality whatsoever in this first incarnation, merely chanting "He was incredible!" over and over. Cloud Connie was slightly more developed than other residents, as she could speak while others such as Cloud Sour Cream could not.
"Open Book"
Cloud Connie developed more from her original form in "Rose's Room". However, she was still lacking her own personality throughout the episode. For the most part, she appears to be just as one-dimensional and compliant as all of the room's previous creations, obeying every order given to her by Steven as well as agreeing to do whatever he chooses to do. However, once Steven notices that she isn't exactly the Connie he knows, he tells her to "Not just do whatever I want..." which seemingly causes her to malfunction, making Steven realize that she's a replica created by the room. This is due to the paradox that arises when she is ordered not to follow orders; as a creation of the room she is bound to follow every wish by Steven and that creates an obvious conflict when he orders her to not follow orders any more. A new sinister personality emerges when Cloud Connie stops malfunctioning.
As per being a "duplicate", it is assumed that she has the same reserved/bookworm personality as the original. She is withdrawn and introverted, as well as curious and intelligent. She is also shown to be very forceful and menacing, whereas she pulled Steven's hair and forced him to the ground to make him tell Connie how he "really felt". After Steven confesses his true feelings regarding the ending of the last book, she lets out a sigh of relief and proclaims "that's better", before willingly disappearing of her own accord. This implies she knew that Steven keeping his feelings about the book from the real Connie wasn't good for him, and wanted him to let it out, to free him from the stress of holding it in.
