Connie Maheswaran

"I don't know what will happen in the future, but if something dangerous comes along, I don't want to be a burden, I wanna help! I want to be there for Steven, to fight by his side! The Earth is my home too, can't I help protect it?"

- Connie Maheswaran Connie Maheswaran is a friend to Steven Universe, who she formally met on the beach near the Temple before the two were trapped in a powerful bubble by Steven in an attempt to save her from an attack by a Corrupt Gem monster. Since then, the two have bonded and decided to fight off magical threats to the world together, calling themselves "Jam Buds" and taking on enemy Gems and going on goofy adventures by themselves.

Connie is more organized and kept-together than Steven, and is also more prone to violence, albeit not by much. She is considerate but vulnerable and is still only a kid who is worried she can't be part of Steven's world since she is a regular human, a flaw that sticks around until she comes to terms as Steven's equal in their fight with Pearl.

While during training she has used Pearl's sword, her main weapon is the sword of the late Crystal Gem leader and Steven's mother, Rose. She has proven herself an efficient swordswoman, being able to pull off some acrobatic and hard-to-pull-off attacks. She is also able to fuse with Steven into Stevonnie a being able to use both Steven and Connie's weapons and abilities.
