Fractured is an angsty, 'fractured' Steven run by aesthetically-meme. He is the owner of the beach house or, 'Steven Hotel' that many other Steven's live in.

His name was given to him by his brother, Cracked.

Appearence
"He has 4 arms and looks depressed." -Ivy. He does indeed! Fractured wears a modified version of Steven's iconic pink varsity jacket, complete with always changing gauges and earrings. Due to a corruption event, he now has four arms. His lower set is concealed with baby pink gloves that hide the corruption scars, and he has tiny little horn stubs. Freckles are scattered around around his face along with baby pink skin patches that not only stain his face, but his entire body. There are also scars spread out with the skin patches. He has fuschia eyes with black diamond pupils. His gem is rotated upside down as well.

Personality
Fractured is a very all-over-the-place Steven. It's not because he's insane, he hasn't reached that level of emotional trauma yet, but it's because he's constantly battling Ven to keep control. Ven is his gem half, too angry to care about anyone but himself and Fractured, but even then, his kindness for his human half goes so far.

But this doesn't stop Fractured from trying his damn best to keep everyone sane and happy. That's why he lets random Steven's stay at his place!

He's very overprotective when it comes to the many Steven's that live in his house, especially his children and brothers. Catch him on a bad day and hope you'll survive.

Backstory
In between cym and suf, Steven (Fractured) would very occasionally take his gem out. He'd only do this when he was sure he was gonna be alone for a bit. He'd separate and the 2 halves would spend some time apart. This is what builds his endurance to splitting himself. Pink and Steven don't see eye to eye. Hence why they argue when Fractured is separated. That's also why Fractured has the pink patches in his skin and hair. The reason fountain water doesn't work and hurts him, is because the fountain water is meant to heal people. These patches of pink in his hair and skin were from his Pink half, sort of like corrupting, but you can't heal something that isn't supposed to be a wound in the first place. And because of this, it's like putting salt on a wound. It won't do anything except make the pain worse. He's tried dealing with his issues alone, then once he realized that wasn't working (after a few arguments with the gems and Connie) he tried to get help from the gems. The gems didn't exactly know what to do, nor did they understand that Steven wanted help from just them. So what better way to help their emotionally unstable son than drag him to therapy? Make him confess all his feelings, thoughts and worries to someone he didn't know? Steven hated it. The gems would drag him to therapy, sometimes bringing Connie to try and calm him down. But when he actually did a session, he had to see a gem therapist, because most human therapists couldn't handle the intensity of his 'duty as pink diamond' and his gem half. This only leads him to leaving therapy. Not only due to him barely confessing his problems to a gem, but because he still wasn't getting that human interaction that he needed and longed for. Connie and Greg didn't count, he's known them for so long, interacting with them was getting bittersweet. This all happens during SUF. Has had a freakout during Little Homeschool's first graduation. Accidentally created a cactus creature that was built on his negativity towards himself. All of it. It doesn't get better when a portal opens and suck him into another world.

And the rest is history :)
