Laramie Barriga, better known simply as Lars, is a major character in the Cartoon Network television series Steven Universe. He is a resident of Beach City and an employee at the Big Donut with Sadie. He debuted in the Pilot. Lars currently resides on the Gem Homeworld, after his abduction and resurrection, acting as the link between Steven going to and from Homeworld to Earth through a pocket dimension in Lars' hair that connects to Lion's Dimension. He later became a space pirate and an official Off-Color as well as their captain upon escaping Homeworld and fighting against a high-level Homeworld agent known as Emerald.
He was voiced by Matthew Moy, who voiced Alphonse Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist live-action film's English dub and Dudou from White Snake.
Bio[]
Lars is a slacker who works at Steven's favorite snack shop, the Big Donut. He is a sullen, lazy teenager, overly concerned with being thought of as cool, and disdaining anything he sees as uncool. Following him getting stuck on Homeworld, Lars went through some character development, got christened an Off Color, and is now working on a way to get him and the rest of the Off Colors back to Earth.
Personality[]
Lars was a slacker that worked at the Big Donut. Initially a sullen, angry teen, getting stranded on Homeworld gave him the kick in the pants needed to seriously better himself, going from someone you wouldn't trust to watch a pot boil to the confident, commanding leader of the Off Colors, in turn leading them to becoming actual criminals of Homeworld rather than just criminals by circumstance in their quest for Earth. After arriving back home, Lars is much more open and honest, and even follows his passion for cooking by opening a bakery called Spacetries, before eventually returning to space to heed the call of adventure.
Powers and skillset[]
Lars shares the same abilities as Lion, though he is yet to demonstrate all of them.
Powers[]
- Dimensiokinesis: Lars can manipulate dimensions, though this ability is instinctive and not directly controllable.
- Pocket Dimension: Due to being resurrected by Steven, Lars displays the same pocket dimension ability as Lion, with access through his hair. This dimension is a vast pink Savannah that now includes two grassy hills, one with an acacia tree and another with a tree resembling an oak. As shown in "Lars' Head", Steven (and others, demonstrated by Connie in "Lars of the Stars") can travel through one entrance and exit through the other.
- Supernatural Stamina: After being revived by Steven, Lars stated that he was not hungry, even after not eating for a few days, after getting kidnapped by Topaz and Aquamarine and getting taken to Homeworld. Steven also noticed that Lars has a heart rate, but it was extremely slow.
Lars shares all abilities displayed by Lion, but as of "Lars' Head", only these two abilities mentioned above have been portrayed. Lars also shares Lion's longevity, as Lion is shown to be at least two hundred years old. According to Rebecca Sugar, Lars could have the same powers as Lion but he has his own limits. Rebecca Sugar also states that Lars and Lion age very slowly due to their slow heartbeats.
Skillset[]
- Culinary expertise: Lars has been shown to be very skilled at baking and cooking. This is first revealed in "Island Adventure", when Sadie and Steven comment on how great the fish Lars cooked was. This ability is further explored in "The Good Lars". This ability is a source of some embarrassment to him, and he considers it "lame".
Trivia[]
- The way Steven brought Lars back to life is very similar to how Rapunzel brought Flynn/Eugene back to life.
- Lars' final speaking role and physical appearance in Steven Universe Future is "Little Graduation". However, he does make a small cameo in Steven's dream in "In Dreams".
