Quetzalcoatl

**Quetzalcoatl**, or **"Q"** for short, is a large feathered serpent, and considered a godly entitiy, similar to Alicorns in Equestria and The Diamond Authority to Homeworld.

## Physical Appearance

Quetzalcoatl is presented as a gigantic serpent as long as an anaconda. He has a crest of feathers on his head that're colored green and blue. His tail feathers mirror a peacock pattern, and his wings are made up of green and blue feathers with red tips on the end. These feathers seemingly cause the "Gem Cold" if left to rot away into smoke. His scales are hard enough to withstand the attack from the Breaking Point.

## History

While unsure of his true past, it's hinted that he's from the same world as Mushussu, as he considered his kind similar to Alicorns in Equestria and The Diamond Authority to Homeworld as beings of worship.

### My Little Universe: Season 4

Quetzalcoatl found Steven Universe during his first solo mission and presented himself to him, giving Steven the option to simply call him "Q" over his full name and stating that he found him. He didn't intervene when Steven was found by his Gem Monster, and only until Steven admitted going alone was a bad idea did he defeat the Gem creature with a hit of his tail. He then explained to Steven that even the strongest warriors need aid time to time, and it's not a sin to get some help from his friends. With that, he flew away.

He appeared later on just before Bismuth could attack Amethyst, Steven, and Peridot, and used his scales as a shield to destroy the Breaking Point. He explained to Bismuth that the past is past, and anyone not willing to learn are doomed to repeat their mistakes. When asked why he didn't help them earlier, he admitted that he wasn't supposed to, but explained that he not only didn't enjoy being an "ex machina", but also that the circumstance left him with no other option. He got Peridot, Amethyst, and Steven to reveal what they've done on Homeworld, and their involvement with the Osicone to Bismuth.

### My Little Universe: Supernova

He briefly appears alongside The Mistress, Starswirl the Bearded, and The Spirit in order to warn and prepare the Harmony Gems for the upcoming Everstorm, him providing comfort for them in contrast to The Spirit's cynical remarks.

### My Little Universe: II

He makes a cameo appearance during Discord and White Diamond's trial before Your Great Honor, him talking in their defense and trying to say how what they've done only came naturally, and there was no malicious intent outside of that.

It is revealed though in "Child's Play" that he ended up imprisoned in the Catacombs by the Spirit Council for him breaking the laws of the council, found out down there by Star Quartz. He was freed though when Diopside, Star, and Jade made that their exchange to Your Great Honor for getting the sword out of the back of his neck.

He is brought down from the realm into Canterlot, given his own room after being released but still suffering from a sickness. While there he told them about the final trial coming up and that they need to win this one.

As he didn't appear during the finale, it is assumed either he was accepted back into the Realm of Gods or he was simply moved out of Canterlot before Grogar's invasion.
