Connie Discussion

I love Connie. She is so cute and awesome - I love that she is brains and is also going to be brawn. I also love the small parallels between Connie and Pearl. She's very relatable.

CONNIE!!!

She's pretty much not only my favorite female character in SU, but is fast becoming my favorite female animated character ever! One, she breaks the stereotype that all dark skinned kids have to dress like gangsters, talk street like, are street smart, etc. and is instead cute, nice, dorky, nerdy, and has a lot of interests like her favorite books. And this is coming from a white person. She's also the most like me: we're both rather shy, don't have many friends, we're nerdy about our favorite things, and we have male friends that we cherish (Connie has Steven, I have my bestie Paul whom I've known since 2nd grade). Best of all, she isn't shallow! She has a real personality, real strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes, etc.! And at the same time, she isn't a typical girly girl who likes dresses, tea parties, boys, etc. If Steven Universe had been made when I was a child, I would have fallen in love with it big time. Connie's episodes are always the best, with my favorites being Lion 2: The Movie, Winter Forecast, Sworn To The Sword, and Open Book.

i love connie too! i love how important a role she's playing in both steven's human life and his gem life! it's great. my personal headcanon for her is middle eastern, tbh.

Since the new opening shows Connie with Rose's sword, I wonder if she'll become more and more involved with the Gems and their missions? It'd be so cool if she got to fight enemies alongside Steven and the Gems!
