[@Guardian Angel Haruki][hider]Possibly, but I still stand by what I said. Both of them are defects in some way or another. Amethyst sat too long, and Steven is something that had never existed before that lives in the shadow of his dead mother. Both of them can't do the job that they're intended for, and make up for it in unique and unorthodox ways, while still remaining true to their characters and reflecting on what they want to be. Smoky Quartz is another progressive step in both of their lives, using their imagination and child-like attributes to turn a toy into a weapon, her lack of knowledge when speaking to Sardonyx (which I think was mostly Garnet, who had that reaction the last time Steven fused with someone new), and how Steven and Amethyst push each other to be more than the path laid out for them[/hider]
