* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: In her appearance in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E28ChangeYourMind "Change Your Mind"]], she's dyed her hair green. By ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseTheMovie'', she's cut back to just dying it green below her ears. By [[Recap/StevenUniverseFutureS1E9LittleGraduation "Little Graduation"]], her hair is its natural color again, but the hairstyle is cut to ear-length near the front and tied in a ponytail.



* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Unlike the rest of the human cast, who have normal hair colors aside from the already-mentioned-to-be-dyed Mystery Girl, Jeff's hair is a dull teal.



* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her hair is pink, [[SubvertedTrope though as Steven points out, that's because it's dyed]].

"When stuff gets hairy, I just keep my eyes forward, you know?"



Sadie was a clerk at the Big Donut. She's supportive of Steven's adventures, if weirded out by the other Gems,
and owner had a crush on Lars. Eventually, after Lars' AlienAbduction, the stress of Beach Citywalk Fries.working alone really got to her, leading her to quit her job and join the Cool Kids in a band known as "Sadie Killer and the Suspects". They toured for two and a half years --along the way Sadie met Shep and began a relationship with them-- before the band decided to part ways, with Sadie staying in the music business and becoming a musical duo with Shep.


Added DiffLines:

* ActionGirl: She took down a giant, invisible Gem monster by herself, while already injured and armed with nothing but a crude wooden fish spear.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Sadie has a huge crush on the [[GrumpyBear grumpy]], [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic]], [[TheSlacker lazy]], and [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]] [[BelligerentSexualTension Lars]]. However, she has her limits over how much of Lars' jerkiness she can take and believes he's actually [[HiddenHeartOfGold a nice person underneath his apparently unpleasant personality]] (which may be true given Lars' spotlight episodes). However, it gets {{deconstructed|Trope}} in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E10TheNewLars "The New Lars"]] — while Sadie may have a crush on him, his negative traits make it hard for her to know if he genuinely cares for her or just wants to be with her when he wants to. [[spoiler:Subverted as of [[Recap/StevenUniverseFutureS1E9LittleGraduation "Little Graduation"]], where it's revealed that she and Lars couldn't make a full relationship work, with Sadie instead becoming a couple with Shep, who by all accounts seems to be a friendly and mellow person.]]
* ArtEvolution: Like many characters with a wide body and chin, Sadie [[NoNeckChump is drawn with no neck]] for most of the series. However, her final appearance in "Little Graduation" has her neck consistently drawn and plainly visible.
* AuthorAvatar: Rebecca Sugar stated that Sadie is based off what Rebecca was like during her time at college.
* BadassNormal: She's the first full human shown to have beaten a corrupted Gem by herself, and with a handmade wooden spear no less. Even when completely unarmed, she manages to break out of the grip of an enormous Homeworld Gem by ''biting her''.
* TheBartender: The donut shop is very near to the Gem temple, so Sadie is often the first to see Steven's latest power manifestations. She usually takes them in stride, and he knows he can confide in her. However, the first verse of "Disobedient" implies Sadie was sick of a bunch of ''other'' customers dumping their problems on her and expecting her to take their side.
* BelligerentSexualTension: What Sadie and Lars' bickering amounts to from Steven's point of view.
** This gets {{deconstructed|Trope}} as the show reveals how dysfunctional their relationship is. Sadie and Lars ''do'' have feelings for each other, but Lars is too insecure to admit that he likes her and compensates by acting like a jerk to her (at least in public), prompting her to either respond in kind or with misguided attempts to change him that only make them argue more. We later see that this dynamic really hurts Sadie and leaves her uncertain if Lars actually cares about her or not; to the point that when Steven!Lars tells her he loves her in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E10TheNewLars "The New Lars"]], she assumes it's just Lars trying to hurt her again.
* BetterAsFriends: [[spoiler:"Little Graduation" reveals that she and Lars tried getting together multiple times after his return from space, but just couldn't make it work. They stay on friendly terms, however, with Lars being accepting of Sadie's new partner Shep.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Sadie is a friendly and helpful person. She was also able to take down a gorilla-sized corrupted Gem and can be ''scary'' when angered (i.e., her TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Lars).
* BigBeautifulWoman: Sadie is a chubby young woman and is quite cute and sweet.
* BigFun: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. She's chubby and is on the reserved, introverted side, but is quite friendly and willing to help others.
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: The friendly and nurturing Gentle Girl to Lars' grumpy and extremely insecure Brooding Boy.
* BurgerFool: She becomes extremely dissatisfied with her job after Lars gets abducted by Homeworld Gems and she has to take over all his shifts at the Big Donut. In [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E9SadieKiller "Sadie Killer"]] she finally becomes fed up with it and leaves to join a band with Buck, Jenny, Sour Cream, and Steven.
* CallingTheOldWomanOut: In [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E20SadiesSong "Sadie's Song"]], Sadie breaks down and finally tells to her mom how much she hates how Barb goes overboards on whatever Sadie shows an interest in, never considering how she feels or letting her do things her way.
* CharacterDevelopment:
** By [[Recap/StevenUniverseS4E22TheGoodLars "The Good Lars"]], Sadie comes to understand that she can't force Lars to be happy (like what she did in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E30IslandAdventure "Island Adventure"]]) and instead focuses on her life instead of trying to help with Lars' problems.
** In [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E20SadiesSong "Sadie's Song"]], she was ''very'' [[PerformanceAnxiety nervous]] over performing to an audience, though it's mostly from her mother unintentionally pressuring her. By [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E14TheBigShow "The Big Show"]], she can sing in front of an audience with little nervousness.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Sadie became very upset with Lars when she caught him hanging out with Jenny and the Cool Kids, ''after'' lying to her to get out of work.
* ConsistentClothingStyle: Sadie's outfits usually include a pair of dark grey jeans and red shoes.
* CoolBigSis: Acts like one to Steven, showing a lot of patience with his antics and likes hanging out with him after work.
* CuteBruiser: She's quite a cutie and can handle herself in action-packed moments.
* DamselOutOfDistress: With one of the Topazes kidnapping her and Lars running away in fear, Sadie opts to break free by biting the Gem's hand.
* ADayInTheLimelight: [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E21JokingVictim "Joking Victim"]], [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E30IslandAdventure "Island Adventure"]] and [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E20SadiesSong "Sadie's Song"]]. Particularly "Sadie's Song", the first one that doesn't heavily involve her crush on Lars and her only major role in Season 2. Much later on, [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E9SadieKiller "Sadie Killer"]], [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E14TheBigShow "The Big Show"]], and [[Recap/StevenUniverseFutureS1E9LittleGraduation "Little Graduation"]] join the list.
* DoggedNiceGirl: {{Downplayed|Trope}} and {{deconstructed|Trope}}. For the former, Lars ''does'' like her back in the same way she does, but is too insecure and selfish to actually admit it. And for the latter, it's because of his constant change in attitude, which is usually being a sour jerk, that has Sadie wondering if he even cares about her at all. [[spoiler:In "Little Graduation", it's revealed that they did attempt to pursue a relationship but ultimately couldn't make it work out.]]
* DudeMagnet: Her BelligerentSexualTension with [[GrumpyBear Lars]] notwithstanding, her interest in his rare horror film gained her the favor of [[ConspiracyTheorist Ronaldo]]. [[spoiler:Her appeal doesn't just apply to men, either; by ''Future'', Sadie is in a happy relationship with Shep, who is nonbinary]].
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:After a long series of ups and downs with Lars, Sadie begins a touring life on the road with Shep, as of [[Recap/StevenUniverseFutureS1E9LittleGraduation “Little Graduation”]]]].
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Sadie sported blonde, shoulder-length hair that remained relatively unchanged for almost the entire original series. In the very last episode, we see she dyed her hair green for her on-stage performance while Steven was away, which she refines in the movie to dyed ends with her hair tied behind her ears. By the time of [[Recap/StevenUniverseFutureS1E9LittleGraduation “Little Graduation”]], [[spoiler:after her band breaks up and Sadie starts dating Shep]], she has returned her hair to its natural blonde color and now wears it in a ponytail.
* FatAndSkinny: The chubby Fat to Lars' lean Skinny.
%%* FriendToAllLivingThings: {{Implied|Trope}}. One of Steven's cat fingers took a liking to her.
* GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Sadie ''loves'' horror movies, and keeps an extensive collection of them. A trait she shares with Jenny Pizza, as discovered in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E9SadieKiller "Sadie Killer"]].
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: In [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E20SadiesSong "Sadie's Song"]], she's shown to have a veritable mountain of plush toys in her bedroom. [[SubvertedTrope She doesn't seem to actually like them]], but they're all gifts from her mom so she just doesn't want to get rid of them.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: After getting attacked by a big fish while she, Steven and Lars were walking on the beach in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E30IslandAdventure "Island Adventure"]], Sadie sports a tiny scar under her left eye.
* GrewASpine: Sadie gradually gets more willing to stick up for herself, first to her mother, then Lars, and ends up quitting her job once she realizes she wasn't getting anything from it. By the movie, she's written a song that's basically making fun of herself for being such a pushover.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Sadie is blonde, and is much nicer to Steven than Lars is.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Has a major crush on DarkSkinnedRedhead Lars.
* HiddenDepths:
** It turns out that she ''loves'' horror movies.
** Starting in Season 5, she becomes the lead singer/songwriter for a band with Buck, Jenny, Sour Cream, and Steven.
* HopelessSuitor: {{Zigzagged|Trope}}. While it's clear in some moments that Lars has feelings for Sadie, his [[ItsAllAboutMe selfishness]] causes their relationship to suffer. There's also how her trapping both of them and Steven on an island just to get closer to Lars would [[JerkassHasAPoint understandably upset him]], which made their already strained relationship even more so. And even with all that, she clearly cares more about Lars than he cares about her, much to her chagrin. Emphasis on "clearly". [[spoiler:The two of them come to the realization sometime before "Little Graduation" that they're ultimately incompatible despite their best efforts, and they split things off completely on amicable terms.]]
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: She's much shorter than Lars. In fact, despite being in her late teens, she's barely any taller than Steven. [[spoiler:By ''Future'', her partner Shep (who is non-binary rather than male) is about as tall as Lars and generally bigger.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: Sadie becomes greatly upset with Lars about lying to her in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E21JokingVictim "Joking Victim"]], but tries to justify her lying to him in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E30IslandAdventure "Island Adventure"]].
* HypocriteHasAPoint: In spite of how hypocritical it was of her to lie to Lars in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E30IslandAdventure "Island Adventure"]], she was not entirely wrong in that Lars needed the experience as it did help him open up to her more.
* ICanChangeMyBeloved: {{Implied|Trope}} and {{deconstructed|Trope}}. For the former, it's not stated outright, but in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E30IslandAdventure "Island Adventure"]] she exasperatedly and angrily asks Lars why he won't let her help him, implying she wants to make him a better person; it's further implied in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS4E22TheGoodLars "The Good Lars"]] when she admits she wishes she could force him to be happy. As for the latter, no matter your intentions, you can't force someone to be happy or change their ways, doing so would only make things worse.
* InSeriesNickname: Very few people in Beach City actually know Sadie's name, even her regular customers, so they tend to just call her "Donut Girl".
* {{Irony}}: Initially, Sadie wasn't all that interested in befriending the Cool Kids, and they barely knew her, unlike Lars who desperately wanted to be their friend and was acquainted with them. By season 5, Sadie has become closer friends with any of them than Lars was.
-->'''Sadie:''' [Lars] wants to be in with them so much. It's funny. I never thought ''I'd'' be the one hanging out with them.
* LargeHam: Becomes one when singing with Steven and the Cool Kids.
* LoveHurts:
** Breaks into tears when she sees that Lars ditched his job to spend time with Jenny and the other kids. Steven thinks she's just upset that he lied, but what makes her more upset is that she thinks that Lars is interested in Jenny.
** It hurts to the point that when a Steven-possessed Lars tells her he loves her, she refuses to believe it and instead believes he's just trying to hurt her.
** In [[Recap/StevenUniverseS4E24IAmMyMom "I Am My Mom"]], Sadie is left ''[[DisappointedInYou visibly]]'' distraught over Lars abandoning her when she was subdued by Topaz.
* LoveMartyr: Her feelings for Lars keep them together (in and out of work), despite him constantly leaving her to pick up his slack and only connecting emotionally when it's convenient for him. She still has her limits [[TheDogBitesBack before pushing back]], though. [[spoiler:Though Lars does become a much nicer person upon returning to Earth, the two of them ultimately realize that they're not compatible with each other.]]
* MeaningfulName: A "miller" is someone who grinds wheat into flour, which is what the donuts Sadie sells are made of.
* MoralityPet: At the start of the show, Sadie is the rare person Lars thinks of highly (and not in a [[LovingAShadow deluded]] way like with the Cool Kids or Tiger Millionaire), though Lars tends to express this a backhand manner ("Sadie– ''you're'' not an idiot!"). [[KickTheMoralityPet That said]], this doesn't keep Lars from [[AllTakeAndNoGive taking a lot more than he gives]], both in terms of work and emotionally, or putting his reputation with others ahead of her well-being.
* MulticolouredHair: By the movie, she's taken to dying her hair green only below her ears, leaving it her natural blonde on top.
* NiceGirl: Sadie's usual attitude is very warm and friendly, and she is generally very patient when it comes to putting up with Lars.
* NightmareFetishist: She loves horror movies and she was able to improvise lyrics to a zombie-themed song on the spot, even slipping into an impromptu zombie costume in the process.
* NotSoAboveItAll: While Sadie is genuinely nice, she can do very flawed actions.
* OnlyFriend: Sadie was Lars' only known friend at the start of the series, barring Steven's one-sided admiration of him. And though Lars started hanging out with Buck, Jenny, and Sour Cream early on, they didn't know him remotely as well as Sadie.
* OutOfFocus: Between the second and third seasons, Sadie has major roles in two episodes, but otherwise only makes three speaking appearances.
* PerformanceAnxiety: Struggles with this in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E20SadiesSong "Sadie's Song"]] after Steven talks her into performing in Beach-a-Palooza. [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E9SadieKiller "Sadie Killer"]] has her beginning to overcome it as she joins a band as lead singer/songwriter with Buck, Jenny, Sour Cream, and Steven.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Despite being a short teenager, Sadie can take on and ''win'' against a corrupted Gem.
* PluckyGirl: She is always friendly to Steven and does her job with great enthusiasm.
%%* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Usually give these to Lars in regards to his selfish behavior and only hanging around her when he feels like it.
* ScarsAreForever: Has a scar on her cheek ever since the events of [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E30IslandAdventure "Island Adventure"]], which remains just as visible as ever five years later.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Quits her job at the Big Donut to become the frontwoman of a band with Jenny, Buck, Sour Cream, and Steven at the end of [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E9SadieKiller "Sadie Killer"]].
* ShipperOnDeck: Chastised Lars for embarrassing Steven in front of Connie in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E7BubbleBuddies "Bubble Buddies"]].
* ShoutOut: She's named after a character from the Jules Feiffer book ''A Barrel of Laughs, a Vale of Tears''. %%The Polygon Show, "Live With Steven Universe"
* ShrinkingViolet: Sadie is far from a recluse — she does work in customer services — but is generally soft-spoken, spends most of the series with Steven and Lars as her only close friends, and initially very unconfident about performing in public.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: An example in which the person in question in nonbinary. [[spoiler:By ''Future'', Sadie has decided that she and Lars are BetterAsFriends. Now, she's dating Shep, who is more friendly, thoughtful, and respectful to Sadie than Lars was at the start]].
* StoutStrength: She's noticeably chubby, and also one of the strongest humans on the show. She can easily overpower Lars, and even stagger a Gem Monster with her bare hands. We find out later that she was active in sports when she was younger.
* StraightMan: More sensible and down to earth than Steven or Lars.
* SweetAndSourGrapes: By [[Recap/StevenUniverseS4E22TheGoodLars "The Good Lars"]], Sadie accepts that she can't [[ICanChangeMyBeloved make Lars happy]], and she should focus on her own issues first. Shortly thereafter, Lars' experience with Steven inspire him to be a more open person.
%%* TakeThisJobAndShoveIt: At the end of [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E9SadieKiller "Sadie Killer"]].
%%--> '''Sadie:''' And I can come to practice, and I can come to the next show, and the show after that!\\
%%'''Steven:''' But Sadie, don't you have work?\\
%%'''Sadie:''' Hah! ''[takes off her work uniform]'' '''I ''QUIT!'''''
* TeensAreShort: Sadie is a teenager much shorter than nearly every adult (especially her mother), but [[SubvertedTrope it has nothing to do with being a teenager]]. She's already fully grown by the time we see her, and remains the same height in her twenties. It's possible she's a little person.
* TookALevelInCynic: When Lars is abducted by Topaz and Aquamarine, she becomes the only employee of the Big Donut. The near-constant shifts and soul-crushing tedium [[CynicismCatalyst causes her to become much more negative and irritable than usual]].
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: In [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E21JokingVictim "Joking Victim"]], she fondly recalls Lars giving her a bag of oyster crackers and is seen eating some later on her break.
* {{Transplant}}: Sadie and Lars were both characters created for comics Rebecca Sugar drew in college before being reused for ''Steven Universe''. The main difference was that they were college students instead of [[VagueAge apparently high-school aged]] coworkers.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Lars can be a {{jerkass}} to her, but if you hurt him, then Sadie will hurt you. In fact, she once defeated what would equal a grown ''gorilla'' to protect him.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: It's pretty clear that she and Lars have a BelligerentSexualTension but their romance is hindered because of Sadie's need to change Lars and the facts that Lars is [[AllTakeAndNoGive selfish]] in their relationship. [[spoiler:''Future'' shows that they ultimately don't as they did try but it didn't work out and decided they were BetterAsFriends. In fact, Sadie is now in a relationship with her band partner, Shep]].
* WomanScorned: When Steven suggests they prank Lars by putting a little fire salt in his doughnut in retaliation for his lying, she stops him at first, questioning whether or not pranking for revenge would make her sink to his level. When Lars walks in pulling the same lie to skip more work moments later, she grows quiet and dumps the entire container into the pastry, causing Lars to breathe actual fire from the spiciness.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: In her appearance in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E28ChangeYourMind "Change Your Mind"]], she's dyed her hair green.
