Steven may not be as powerful or savvy as the other Crystal Gems, and he may not have much control over his powers, but that doesn't stop him from joining [[Characters/StevenUniverseGarnet Garnet]] (Music/{{Estelle}}), [[Characters/StevenUniverseAmethyst Amethyst]] (Creator/MichaelaDietz), and [[Characters/StevenUniversePearl Pearl]] (Deedee Magno Hall) on their magical adventures and finding a way to save the day.
