Connie Maheswaran

Connie Maheswaran is a late-coming Pokémon trainer, and one of Steven Universe's closest human friends, and love interest. She is one of the first humans to join the Crystal Gems since the rebellion, joining in order to help protect her own planet from any harm that would come to it.

Appearance
Connie is a young Indian-American girl with dark brown skin and, a slim figure, and was slightly taller than Steven. Upon the timeskip though, her height had since matched that of Steven's height. She has a prominent nose with black eyes with thick eyebrows, and has dark brown puffy hair. Throughout much of Steven Pokeverse, Connie's hair reached down her back, but while she and Steven weren't seeing eachother she had her hair cut. to only shoulder-length. This length hadn't changed as she grew up, and is still currently the same length as she had it after cutting it.

She is shown in various outfits throughout her life, with no specific or iconic one unlike most of her friends. Many of these outfits often reflect on the summertime, or to a more child-demeanor. During training with Pearl though, her outfit is consistent in a dark purple training suit, with her hair tied back into a ponytail

Personality
Connie is often the outside view on the life of the Crystal Gems, curious on their magical happenings and attentive to detail. She is a person who usually tries her best to be prepared for any scenario, be it either studying for an upcoming test or readying herself for the next fight, but sometimes her attention can shift towards something else that interests her moreso. She is very supportive towards Steven, as he was her first true friend and in later years her first love, and is more than willing to put her life on the line if it meant keeping him and the rest of the Gems safe, in spite of how much weaker she is compared to the Gems.

Throughout the years spent with the Gems, she had grown more and more used to the magical happenings of Gems and the world of Pokémon, despite her parents often trying to schedule her life to an almost controlling degree. This left her mostly uncertain of herself for the longest time, but thanks to her time with Steven she had grown more and more free and independent.
