Character: Steven Quartz Universe
Current Canon Point: Post-Mindful Education
Updated Canon Point: Post-Kevin Party
Updated Background:
After Steven's previous canon point, the next important event to happen in his life was the sudden arrival of his Uncle Andy at the barn. Steven was unaware of this man's existence, and so he learned more about his family - Greg's original family, the Demayos. Although Andy was put-off by the Crystal Gems' ways and tried to leave, Steven managed to reach out to him and convinced him to give them a chance, because he valued his human family as well as the Crystal Gems. Later on, Steven received strange dreams that seemed to have to with Pink Diamond, and he believed that it was a key to finding out more information about what exactly happened to her, as the Crystal Gems have been secretive on the subject beyond confirming that Rose shattered Pink Diamond.
Steven and Greg caught a ride from Uncle Andy to Korea, where they investigated Steven's dreams and found that it was caused by an empathetic connection with Blue Diamond, who was on Earth to mourn Pink Diamond. Steven managed to hide from her, but Greg wasn't as lucky. Blue Diamond decided to 'save' Greg after having a meaningful talk with him, and so she spiritied him away to take him to Pink Diamond's old human zoo. Steven enlisted the help of the Crystal Gems and used the Ruby squad's former ship to travel into space, where Steven was able to infilitrate the human zoo and save his father. They also got to witness a conversation (and musical number!) between Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond, in a room full of bubbled rose quartz soldiers. Despite Yellow wanting to get rid of anything associated with the rebellion and Pink's demise, Blue wanted to preserve them as they were Pink's creations. After returning to Earth, Steven had his room create an imaginary version of Rose Quartz, and he vented his anger about her decision to her. Although he struggled with all of the lies that Rose had apparently told, he ultimately managed to calm himself down by remembering one thing that he still believed to be the truth: that Rose meant it when she said that she wanted to give birth to him. Greg later helped to clarify that Rose had no ulterior motive in wanting to create Steven beyond just wanting to have a child.
One of the lost Rubies later crashed on Earth. As she was specifically the friendliest and the most naive of the group, Steven tried to let her into the Crystal Gems. However, she ultimately betrayed them and escaped with the Ruby spaceship into the depths of space. Soon afterwards, many of Steven's friends started going missing. It turned out that they were all being captured by a pair of Homeworld gems known as Aquamarine and Topaz. Steven also found out that they were specifically collecting humans that Steven had mentioned to Peridot long ago, as Peridot had confused the names of individual people with the names of specific types of humans. The last human they were looking for was "My Dad", and Steven posed as My Dad to get close enough to them to lead an escape. The escape attempt was foiled, however, at which point Steven decided to take responsibility, feeling guilty for putting his loved ones in danger just as he had perceived Rose to have done. Thus, he told them that he was Rose Quartz so that they would take him instead. They complied, and so Steven was taken away to Homeworld while everyone else was left behind on Earth - everyone except for Lars, who hadn't managed to escape from the ship.
On Homeworld, Steven was appointed a Blue Zircon as a lawyer and was made to stand trial before Blue and Yellow Diamond for the shattering of Pink Diamond. As the trial carried on, Steven learned more facts about the shattering that did not make sense and led the Blue Zircon (as well as seemingly Steven himself) to believe that it was someone other than Rose who shattered Pink Diamond. After Blue Zircon tried pointing the finger at the remaining Diamonds, Yellow poofed him, and the trial devolved into the two Diamonds arguing with each other. While they were distracted, Steven and Lars managed to escape together into an underground area. There, they came across a group of misfit gems called the Off Colors. They banded together to survive, and with Lars's help they were able to destroy a group of drones that were set to shatter them. However, Lars was fatally wounded in the detonation of one of the drones. Steven immediately mourned him, only to find that his tears brought him back to life. Specifically, it brought him back in a condition similar to that of Steven's Lion, complete with his hair linking to the same pocket dimension. Thus, Steven was able to return to Earth through Lars's hair, reluctantly leaving Lars and the Off Colors behind.
Upon returning to Earth, he had a heartfelt reunion with the Crystal Gems, Greg and Connie, only to find that Connie was unhappy with Steven for giving himself up and not even trying to form Stevonnie with her during the battle with Aquamarine. Connie then left with Lion, and she stopped answering Steven's texts. Steven started to learn his lesson when he tried to help Mayor Dewey with his re-election campaign, and despite all of the effort that he put into it, Dewey ultimately gave up. He spread the news about what happened in space to Sadie, Lapis and Peridot as well. Lapis was immediately struck by a fear that Homeworld would be coming to attack Earth again and, once Peridot chose to stand her ground on Earth, she fled into space with the barn. Steven accepted her decision, even though he wanted her to stay. Ultimately, Steven was able to reconnect with Connie at a party thrown by Kevin. He apologized to her, and the two of them rode Lion back home together.
Updated Personality:
Throughout this stregtch of episodes, Steven has undergone several shifts in his behavior. Steven has gotten to the point where he's more open about his frustrations, particularly the ones relating to the Crystal Gems keeping him in the dark about what happened with Pink Diamond, and he's also grown frustrated with Rose Quartz himself now that he knows what he does about her negative qualities. These feelings do seem to have been softened somewhat by the events of "Storm in the Room", where he managed to make some sort of a peace with his illusion of his mother. However, these feelings have also lead to him acting as a martyr and giving himself up to Homeworld when he feels guilty about endangering others, because he feels that this is penace for both his and Rose's mistakes. It's a far cry when he insisted that he and Connie should be equals on the battlefield, or "jam buds", which ends up being the root of Connie's frustrations when he returns to Earth. Steven comes to see part of the error in this self-sacrifical method of thinking while going through the process of trying to make up with Connie, and they ultimately declared each other jam buds once more.
Updated Abilities:
Only one ability update this time, but it's a bit of a doozy!
- Healing Tears: It was initially shown that Steven inherited Rose's healing tears only in the form of healing spit. However, in recent episodes Steven's own tears have developed a healing ability, although it only activates in extreme situations. Specifically, it has only been shown to activate when Steven mourned the freshly dead Lars and had the power to bring him back to life. However, it brings him back to life in a state similar to Lion, who is implied to have died and undergone the same process in the past: those brought back by these tears have their hair and skin turned pink, and their hair/mane connects to a special pocket dimension that is shared between Lars and Lion. They also end up having a slowed heartbeat and are implied to not need to eat, leading to comparisons to a zombie.
Of course, in-game this isn't an ability that I'll use without asking the mods and a player in question beforehand.
Other: Nothing of note!
Questions: None.

You canon update has been recognised.
Regarding Steven's Healing Tears - this is fine! He just won't be able to bring the dead back to life, though, as they disappear immediately after dying. But other than that, you should be good!
