* DarthWiki/NightmareFuel: Whatever Greg went through after Moissanite took him. [[NothingIsScarier We have no idea what it was]], but we do know that it left Greg completely traumatized by most things Gem related. Making matters even more horrifying, it's confirmed that Greg is Steven's father like canon in this AU, and if this is how he met White Diamond, it casts '''very''' dark implications regarding [[ChildByRape how Steven came to be]].

* TheWoobie: While his canon counterpart was a {{Moe}} by default, here you can add being in the foster system, evading abusive foster parents and finding a family in the Crystal Gems, only for that dynamic to go sour when they think he was EvilAllAlong. A lot of the abuse in his life comes from the gem on his forehead mistaken for a deformity with no knowledge of his gem heritage or the fact that his new friend Greg is his father and his new surrogate mom Rose Quartz [[spoiler:is actually his "big sister" Pink Diamond]].

* DracoInLeatherPants: What the comic does to Rose Quartz - in a sense. While the other Crystal Gems are characterized as they were in Greg's flashbacks, Rose is much less foolish and immature. Granted, she is still in a relationship with Greg here and has had more time to mature (and after she finds out Steven "is" White Diamond, she is mostly not willing to let her guard down around him).

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Some fans of the original show who interpreted Rose' loving and kind behavior in the early seasons as being an act, wholesale, take issue with the comic's more nuanced interpretation of her character. The comic interprets that Rose gradually grew out of her harmful and selfish behavior as Pink Diamond to become a [[TheAtoner self-deprecating]], flawed but capable and caring leader. Even some fans who agree with this interpretation claim that she acts less rashly and is less controlled by her emotions in the comic than in the show. Given that this Steven is the son of White Diamond, who in the show prided herself on being "perfect," Rose Quartz' own flaws could have been a natural thing for the comic to focus on.

The comic doesn't "flatten" Rose so much as interpret her differently from "a spoiled child who is pretending to be perfect." Rose in this comic is self-hating, suspicious, and hides things just as much as her canon counterpart. She was in fact the cause of some of this Steven's problems after finding out he was White Diamond, so all that noted, she objectively isn't portrayed as perfect. Rewriting this entry to fit more the opinions I've seen from fans of the comic.


* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Of the more character depth variety. Rose seems to be characterized more from what the gems heard in Season 1, at most Season 2. She still is majestic, almost perfect, and without much motivation to define her. Rose's complex morality was one of the best things that the original show did, but the comic flattens her out. This perfection could've been all an act, with Rose dropping it when [[spoiler:she thinks that Steven is actually White Diamond. But instead she feels more like a valiant knight thoroughly mistaken instead of, say, a child whining about how she doesn't want to be controlled anymore [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation or]] an abuse victim acting rashly due to her trauma.]] Said "perfection" could just be her acting in front of Steven, granted, since she doesn't really trust him.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: The artwork starts out as a fairly impressive, albeit a tad more crude, version of the show's art style. The art improves as the story continues, and by season 2, it legitimately looks so much like the show that it seems almost like an outright adaptation.

Accidental Truth isn't a YMMV trope.
