Stevonnie

Template:Stevonnie "Stevonnie" is the name given to the fusion of Steven and Connie by Amethyst. They made their debut in "Alone Together".

Appearance

Stevonnie is currently the shortest fusion in the series. They are taller than Amethyst and Pearl, but are a few inches shorter than Garnet. They have an average/athletic build consisting of Connie's slim figure with Steven's chubby features. They have dark curly hair that reaches to their thighs, and a complexion slightly darker than Steven's. Their attire consists of Steven's star shirt layered under a cropped version of Connie's cyan dress, Steven's jeans morphed into cutoff shorts, and bare feet. Stevonnie appears to be a teenager, similar in height to the other teenage characters (Lars, Sour Cream, etc.), if not taller. Stevonnie is considered to be very beautiful, as the citizens of Beach City seem to be in awe of their appearance and personality.

Personality

Stevonnie's personality is unique. They are the first fusion between a half-Gem and a non-Gem, and they do not have a single, distinct mind apparent in other Fusion Gems. Stevonnie shares the minds and personalities of Connie and Steven; Connie and Steven frequently alternate in their control of Stevonnie's behavior and thoughts (Connie takes the lead more often). They carry the free spirit, friendliness, and fun-loving attitude of Steven and the courtesy, awkwardness, and intelligence of Connie.

Abilities

Stevonnie, like all fusions, appears to possess both super-human strength and agility although in very modest quantities; nowhere near the capabilities of even a non-fused Gem. This is evident by the fact that their dance moves during the rave would require degrees of strength and agility above that of a human and more similar to that of a Gem.

This is most likely a result of Steven, being a half-Gem, inheriting a fraction of his mother's super-human strength and agility as he is occasionally shown to be capable of feats of strength which would be impossible for a human boy of his age (such as forcing the possessed breakfast monster into the pool of lava in "Together Breakfast", tearing an arcade machine apart with his bare hands in "Arcade Mania", lifting jenny in "Joy Ride," and punching the door hard enough to activate the air bag, and dent the inside of Greg's van in "The Return".

Trivia

Amethyst came up with the name "Stevonnie".
Stevonnie is the second Gem not to be named after a gemstone, the first being Steven.
- Stevonnie is also the first fusion not named after a gemstone.
Stevonnie is the first hybrid fusion shown, and is also the first fusion with only one gemstone, due to the fact that Connie doesn't have a gemstone.
Stevonnie is the shortest fusion thus far in the series.
They are the second fusion that does not have an extra set of arms, the first being Garnet, and the third being Rainbow Quartz.
Stevonnie is the second fusion to only have two eyes, the first one being Opal.
While Steven is the primary instigator of the fusion, Connie appears to be the dominant personality.
They are the third Gem to not feature their weapon, the first being Lapis Lazuli and the second being Peridot.
Stevonnie is the first fusion to be fused by accident as there was no intent to fuse in either Alone Together or We Need to Talk.
- However, they are the fourth fusion not to show their weapon, Alexandrite being the first, Malachite being the second, and Rainbow Quartz being the third.
Stevonnie's portrayed age may have been created by combining Connie's and Steven's respective ages.
After Stevonnie shows their dance moves at the rave party and notice that everyone stopped dancing, they become nervous and have a panic attack.
- This suggests that Stevonnie may have social anxiety disorder, and Steven or Connie (most likely Connie) experiences this as well.
Stevonnie's gemstone is the same as Steven's (and Rose Quartz's).
Stevonnie is the second fusion shown that did not include Amethyst.
- The first is Garnet, revealed in "Jail Break".
Like Malachite and Alexandrite, Stevonnie did not seem to have their own personality at first, as their first few lines were Steven and Connie talking. After a few seconds, unlike the other two, Stevonnie's dominant personality had become Connie's.
According to Rebecca Sugar, Stevonnie is a "...metaphor for all the terrifying firsts in a first relationship, and what it feels like to hit puberty and suddenly find yourself with the body of an adult, how quickly that happens, how it feels to have a new power over people, or to suddenly find yourself objectified, all for seemingly no reason since you’re still just you..."^[1]
