Fun Facts In Animated Show And Movies

Steven Universe Facts

Fact #1 - Lion(In Steven Universe) was once a normal wild lion, presumably owned by Rose Quartz in the desert hundreds of years ago (where he would have briefly met Buddy Buddwick when he traveled into the desert). After dying through unknown means, Lion was resurrected by Rose, granting him pink skin and magical abilities.

Fact #2 - Steven Universe is based off Sugar's brother Steven, whereas Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl are all based on aspects of Sugar herself and how she acts around her brother. But his realness goes beyond his real-life influence. He's a complex character from the get-go, and as the show develops, so does he.

Fact #3 - When overwhelmed with emotion, his skin glows a soft pink as he gives further into it. When the power fully covers him, it makes Steven look closer to his pure diamond form from "Change Your Mind". This new color scheme indicates that he's unleashing his full power.

Fact #4 - As a gem, Rose Quartz couldn't have a child with her human partner in a traditional sense and ultimately had to give up her physical form for Steven to be born. As a result, Steven is placed up on a pedestal with expectations at his feet.
