AU INFO & TIMELINE
Sep. 4th, 2016 07:46 pmAs Masumi is an AU mixed with another canon, there are a number of unique world points that transfer over to both the game, and to things that those from the Steven Universe canon itself would be aware of.
The first point is her tolerance of the 'weird'. Since such locations as the 'Strawberry Battlefields' in Steven Universe were documented long before her time, things such as floating portions of earth and giant structures of stone aren't weird-just beautiful or perhaps 'odd looking', making a lot of 'natural' gem-influenced locations something she can blink and move on from.
Likewise however, Gembeasts are also something that she's known about beforehand-in this case, as more-dangerous-than-typical creatures that are really best left to their own devices. While she's never encountered one in person, they're still animals in her eyes...and that makes hunting them down something she'll take some time to accept, since it might as well be poaching at this point.
Gems themselves are another story. Growing up, Masumi's father warned her heavily to be wary of those with gems on their body-specifically he noted that their complexion would match the rock, but as far as Masumi was aware, she was the only 'human' with one herself! While fellow humans/other beings with newly placed gems will be easier to warm up to for that reason, it'll take her longer to open up with Actual Gems-especially Crystal Gems, as she was additionally warned about the star symbol they typically wear.
Because of her history, Masumi is thus also more cautious, and hesitant to draw on her gem powers-this will change over time, but it is something to keep in mind. Other information, naturally, can be drawn from her Application here, or from the Timeline below.
