Template:Sour Cream "Sour Cream" is a minor character and resident of Beach City, who first appears in the episode "Frybo". He is one of "The Cool Kids". It is revealed in "Joy Ride" that he's Yellowtail's step-son, and in "Onion Friend" that he's Onion's older half-brother and Vidalia's son.
Appearance
Sour Cream is a teenager with pale blonde hair styled into a point, ice blue eyes, and a long, angular face. He wears a blue-grey hoodie over a grey-blue undershirt, orange phat pants, and bright sea-foam green tennis shoes. He is often shown with a concerned facial expression. His pants can convert to shorts.
Personality
Sour Cream is soft-spoken and "chill" in most interactions. He enjoys dancing, "raving", listening to electronic music, and DJ-ing using Nintendo consoles for his "friends from the internet". Despite this chill nature, it's shown that his relationship with his step-dad makes him openly angry. He wants to become a DJ instead of a fisherman like his step-dad.
Relationships
Jenny & Buck Dewey
Buck and Jenny are assumed to be Sour Cream's two best friends. They hang out with him as part of the "cool kids" group in town, and they show support for his aspirations to be a DJ.
Steven
Sour Cream is on good terms with Steven, and enjoys his company. He considers him his friend and they go with each other on rides. In "Joy Ride", when Steven told them about the Crystal Gems who blame him for his mother's "death" and the Homeworld Gems thinking he's his mom, Sour Cream sympathized and complimented his upbeat nature, saying he'd "turn to fishing in a hearbeat" if it meant not having to deal with his problems.
Yellowtail
Yellowtail is Sour Cream's step-dad. Their relationship is strained due to Sour Cream's desire to be a DJ instead of a fisherman. He has a certain dislike towards him saying that his dad just doesn't understand him for him wanting to be a DJ.
Vidalia
Vidalia is Sour Cream's mother. Their relationship is a lot better than the one with his step-dad, as she even encourages his love of being a DJ, despite Yellowtail's wishes. This is likely because she herself is an artist.
Marty
Marty is Sour Cream's biological father, who left Vidalia before his birth. It's not known how Sour Cream feels about him, or if he even has any special feelings on the subject.
Onion
Onion is Sour Cream's half-brother. Due to the small number of scenes where both of them appear, most of their personal relationship is a mystery. Vidalia, in "Onion Friend", states that they get on each others nerves at times.
Lars
Though he is not incredibly close with Lars, he, with his group of friends, befriends him at the end of "Lars and the Cool Kids", and later hangs out with him in "Joking Victim".
Stevonnie
In "Alone Together", while Stevonnie was sitting on the bench eating a donut, Sour Cream half blushes and invites them to the rave held at a warehouse - the same place where they held a wrestling match. This shows that he may find them attractive.
Amethyst
In "Onion Friend", it is mentioned that Amethyst and his mother Vidalia hung out when Sour Cream was younger. While their relationship was never fully explored, she states that she "used to be bigger than him".
Kevin
In "Alone Together", Kevin is at the rave he is DJ-ing, implying Kevin is one of his "friends from the internet".
