Answer
In the Cartoon Network series Steven Universe, the title character and his three surrogate moms, the crystal gems, fight off alien gemstones who are coming to earth in search of Steven’s other mother, Rose Quartz, who is believed to be a traitor who killed one of the leaders of the gem empire. Steven’s favorite food is “the bits”: the leftover pieces of fries from the bottom of the fryer at a local boardwalk French fry shop. From his mother, Steven inherited the ability to generate force fields (and more powers, which develop later in the series), all colored pink, like the gem embedded in his belly. Towards the end of the series, he has adventures on “Homeworld,” where the gem empire began, and is able to get there by various means, including teleporting through the mane of a pink lion.
