Connen

Connen is a reimagining of Stevonnie.

The character was made in response to the lack of gender ambiguity found in the design of the original. By looking at canon scenes showing boys and girls in awe of Stevonnie, and because the fusion consists out of exactly one boy and girl, it was assumed this was the intention.

Connen is somewhat masculine, yet has an ambiguous voice and behaviour. Besides this slight change, the design of the original was kept intact.

With Connen came a few story changes as well; like Steven and Connie never having gotten into a fight and separating, Connie not getting a haircut -thus keeping the fusion's hair long- and Sadie's failed romance with Lars still being a subject. A storyboard animation with Connen shows her listless during his absence, despite having a successful band.

In the original cartoon, the townspeople also know Stevonnie is a fusion, but Connen stays a mystery visitor and is only recognized by Steven's gem friends.

Personality
Connen is an unbreakable fusion. There's no social situation that could be presented to them that would affect its stability, as Connen defines certainty and optimism, and sometimes blissful ignorance.

Steven's friendly, flamboyant side and Connie's more adult demeanour make the character unintentionally seductive and/or "adorably" clueless, which caused Kevin to have an obsessive crush on them. Sadie is shown to have one too, meaning she juggles between them and Lars. At the same time, the character appears adolescent in the eyes of the town's youth, and some feel intimidated by their words and touch.

As a fighter, they benefit from Steven's gem powers and experience, and Connie's professional combat training and intelligence.

Appearance
While looking generally sturdy and masculine, the character takes on feminine poses at times, which leads to confusion. In combination with a voice that dangles on the edge of sounding either like a young boy or an adult woman, many characters still aren't sure how to address Connen and everyone has their own interpretation. "She" and "he" are both accepted, while "they" is only used by people who know Connen's a fusion.

Connen's physical age is somewhere between 18 and 20 and they possess the genitalia of both genders, though breasts don't become part of the design until Connie has gone through puberty. These are still easily covered up by simple clothing, allowing for Connen to look relatively gender-neutral even later in time.

Their outfit is always a combination of what Steven and Connie were wearing when they fused.

Trivia

 * The Gorillaz' "Doncamatic" sung by Daley was said to be an example of Connen's voice.
