Morgan Universe

Morgan Universe is the boisterous and adventurous daughter of Connie Universe (née Maheswaren) and Steven Universe. She is a newcomer to Townsville and a frequent ally to The Vanguard League. 
==Background==
From an early age Morgan was doted on by not only her parents, but also her grandparents, and the gems in her life as well.
But that doting in her early life turned out to be something of her downfall. As her parents and the gems get busier and busier Morgan began to feel attention starved. She’s not so naive as to believe that things would always be like how they had been in her younger years, but she still can’t help but feel like she’s being left behind.
Morgan sought to become a hero like her parents in part so she can spend time with them, but also because she wanted to be a hero and be as cool as them. She wants to be seen, heard, and recognized. For a long time her requests to be trained by her parents have been denied, however. Steven and Connie wanted their child to have as normal and conflict free a childhood as they can grant her, but they didn't seem to realize that’s not what Morgan wanted until more recently.
Morgan was always seeking out ways to prove she’s ready to become a hero, though more often than not she just lied about her feats in hopes that her parents would be impressed enough to allow her to be a hero. In they end it was really a case of Morgan and her parents not seeing eye to eye and not understanding what each other wanted.
Connie believed giving Morgan an opportunity to participate in an experiment for her work would be enough to sate her daughter’s desire to be seen and do more, but in the end it was even more than that. The experiment led her and Jen on the adventure of a lifetime that in the end allowed Morgan's powers to blossom and finally prove to her parents that she's ready to be a hero.
Now shes moved to Townsville to live with her "Aunt" Beatrice DeMayo for a while to potentially train with Queen Margo Lucitor herself in the art of sword figthing.
==Personality==
Morgan is a boisterous, loud, and fun-loving gal. She has a pretty easygoing personality and is easy to get along with. She’s a little more blunt and unintentionally rude than her father and certainly more street smart than he was at her age.
She’s not the most book smart individual, but her mother has made sure that she’s well educated for her age. Unlike her father she is enrolled in public school. Her favorite subject is English.
Morgan is a bit of an attention seeker. She really enjoys being center stage and having people praise her to a somewhat detrimental degree.
She also has a bit of a lying problem that ties into this attention seeking. She boasts about accomplishments both real and imagined in order to get the attention she seeks - more often than not her parents attention. She's gotten better about that more recently, but still lies every so often out of habit.
Morgan genuinely enjoys helping people and being a hero. She might seem at first like she's doing it to be in the limelight or for the attention but at the end of the day she really just wants to help.
==Appearance==
Morgan has medium-toned skin, dark brown curly hair that poofs up on one side, and pink eyes. She has a beauty mark under her right eye. Morgan has her mother’s nose and her father’s body type.
She wears a white shirt with overall shorts, white long socks with pink stripes, a pink bracelet, a yellow star pin, and some yellow sneakers.
==Relationships==
===Her parents===
Morgan really loves her parents and thinks they’re super cool. She just wishes they could see things from her perspective. When her mom started getting busy with her work and her dad got busy dealing with rogue gems she started to feel as though they were leaving her behind. Her relationship with her parents has improved significantly since they started to allow her to do hero work/learn how to use a sword properly.
===Her grandparents===
Her grandparents on her mom’s side are nice, but sometimes a little too strict and unfun for her tastes. She always feels bored when she stays at their house. Grandpa Greg (affectionately called Gregpa sometimes) is definitely the fun grandparent.
===The gems===
The crystal gems are her family and she was raised with them always around. They’re like the coolest aunts you could ever have. Some of Amethyst’s boisterous personality has certainly rubbed off on her for sure.
===Jen===
Morgan and Jen met one another on an alien enthusiasts forum some years back and have a long lasting internet friendship. They’re reasonably close and frequently make time to talk to one another. Jen’s occasional talk of the Vanguard League certainly has piqued Morgan’s interests.
===Eva & Gabby===
Morgan frequently runs into Eva and Gabby and definitely considers the both of them her friends. They’ve grown up with one another around. There’s definitely a closeness there. She might have a bit of a crush on Eva, but doesn’t seem to realize it yet. After a kiss from Eva uselessly lesbian Morgan is left wondering if Eva actually likes her and if they're girlfriends or if she's just overthinking things.
===Beatrice DeMayo===
Her father's cousin who she considers more of her "cool" aunt. Beatrice has always been something of a second mom to Morgan and Morgan has stayed over her house many a time. They have a very close relationship.
===Queen Margo Lucitor===
Her mother's friend and potentially her future teacher. Morgan seeks to impress her enough that she will be allowed to be her student even on Earth though she's more than willing to travel to Mewni every so often to train if that's what it takes.
===Cayenne===
Morgan thinks she's really cool and wants to join her division at some point. Cayenne quickly gets annoyed with Morgan's antics, particularly her habit of lying on occasion, but she does think Morgan has some serious spunk.
==Quotes==
“Your music is like ... really... good.” Morgan’s cheeks flushed and she immediately felt embarrassed. So stupid. She could play ukulele well enough, but couldn’t think of any half decent proper musical compliments, she probably sounded so dumb.
Eva laughed and Morgan’s attention was immediately snapped to her. “Thanks, Morgan. I appreciate such kind words from you.”
Morgan blushed even harder. “Y-yeah, no problem.” She rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly.
~~
“I, uh, fought a rogue gem today.” She replied at last, trying to keep her voice steady. Her gaze looked intense.
“Is that so?” Morgan could hear the skepticism in her father’s voice. Annoyance threatened to flare up just beneath the surface of her skin. He usually believed what she said more than Mom, but it was like he was catching on lately.
Morgan pressed on.
“Yep! I can fight ‘em just as good as you or mom. No weapons. No gem powers. Nothin’. You should really take me on a mission sometime.” There was an eagerness in her voice, a hopefulness. She wanted to go with him on missions so bad.
“Sure, sure,” He laughed and Morgan’s heart sank. He really didn’t believe her. Why should he? No matter how many scenarios she crafted none were good enough to convince her father she was ready. Maybe this test would change that. “Maybe another time. Right now I’ve gotta jet. Just wanted to throw a quick call your way.”
