Steven Quartz Universe is the eponymous protagonist of the animated series Steven Universe and its epilogue series Steven Universe Future, created by Rebecca Sugar. Steven is a hybrid between a normal human being and a "Gem", a fictional race of alien beings that exist as magical gemstones projecting bodies of light. Voiced by Zach Callison, he debuted in the series' pilot episode and made his main series debut in the first episode, "Gem Glow".
The show generally takes place around Steven's perspective: the audience always follows Steven and learns about the plot and backstory as he does. As such, the only scenes without the character are those that he sees as visions, that are told to him as stories or when he's fused and seeing through the eyes of the fusion.
The character was received positively, with his evolution through the series, ideology revolving around kindness and empathy, and gender non-conformity receiving most praise.
