Connie isn't being "secretive" about that, and he actually stated reason to join the Crystal Gems was to support Steven instead of being a burden.


* SecretlySelfish: While Connie's desire to protect the Earth ''is'' real, it's more her wanting to do something [[IJustWantToBeSpecial interesting]] in her life.

Rogue-launched trope


* WellTrainedButInexperienced: In the episode "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E17GemHunt Gem Hunt]]", she is brought along on her first gem mission to help Pearl and Steven catch two gem monsters. When Steven and Connie find one of them without Pearl, she ends up freezing under pressure. While Connie felt ashamed by this, Pearl assures her that she still made her proud, having instructed her not to fight on this mission and instead notify her when they found it. She soon overcomes this in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E18CrackTheWhip the next episode]] when she and Steven fuse and fight off Jasper and the gem monsters as Stevonnie.

Steven proposed to Connie in ''Future'' but she states that while she ''wants'' to marry him, it's not the right time to. By the series finale, they share their first on-screen kiss and are planning to each other regularly.

[[spoiler: Starting with the movie, this is subverted with another ExpositoryHairstyleChange due to her hair regrowing to about half it's original length (just beyond her shoulders) during the prior two-year TimeSkip that occurred following the end of the fifth season.]]



** During the mission to Homeworld, Connie operates as something of a human missionary for the Crystal Gems, and especially a help for Steven. She comforts Steven after White Diamond skips the ball he threw to impress her, and then again when their accidental fusion into Stevonnie ruins the ball, gets the Gems poofed, and themselves imprisoned. She also provides Blue and Yellow Diamond advice to express their grievances about their totalitarian lifestyles and rule to White in order to help make things better (similar to how she and her mother mended fences), and after Steven's human and Diamond halves are separated after White removes his gem, helps them to reunite.
** Throughout the second half of the epilogue ''Future'' season, Connie demonstrates how far she truly has come since the beginning of the series:
*** She has made other friends outside of Steven and the Crystal Gems and become more outgoing and confident. She still, however, maintains her relationship with Steven, and the two seem on the verge of finally entering romance, which is confirmed when she becomes enamored when he serenades her with a picnic and song in the very place where they first officially met. When he proposes marriage and living fused together as Stevonnie permanently however, she defers the former and declines the latter due to their young ages and wanting to retain her individuality, while maturely assuring him that, as much as they love each other, they don't need to rush into such a huge step just yet.
*** When Connie later notices Steven's out-of-control powers and declining mental health (which stem from his years of suppressed emotional trauma, his feelings of purposelessness in the world, his family and friends moving on in life without him, and a growing self-loathing complex), out of concern, she convinces him to see her mother at the hospital for a check-up, and later participates in an intervention for Steven with his father and the Gems.
*** After Steven's issues reach their peak and trigger his meltdown/transformation into a Corrupted Gem Kaiju, Connie bands together with the rest of Steven's loved ones to restore him to normal. After returning from helping Beach City evacuate with Lion and discovering everyone blaming themselves for Steven's current state, Connie takes charge, similar to how she did with the Crystal Temps a long time prior, and tells everyone that though they might be right about that, feeling sorry for themselves won't help, and that they need to focus on what Steven currently needs most. After everyone bands together in a group hug to show Steven that they love him unconditonally, Connie is the last one to join. She promises him that his family and friends will care for him just as he always has them, and seals the deal (and her love for him) with a kiss on the bridge of is nose, which finally calms him down, reverts him back to normal, and allows him to let out his years of emotional baggage.
*** A few months later, as Steven prepares to leave Beach City to travel the country and find himself, Connie helps him organize his trip, and also make plans to meet with him during her college touring and visit Lars in space with help from Lion. Finally, before Steven leaves, the two share their first on-screen, lip-to-lip kiss, officially signifying that they are now finally a couple.



* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: For the first four seasons, Connie had waist-length RapunzelHair. However, in the fifth season episode [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E10KevinParty "Kevin Party"]], she is revealed to have cut/had someone cut her hair down to chin-length with bangs.

As a result, Connie didn't have any friends until she met Steven at a local parade, a year prior to the series. Steven saved her glow bracelet before even meeting her officially.

After their adventure, the two become inseparable good friends.
