Fictional Crystals to be honest I always thought Pearl was White Diamond or pink and I know you're going to say no she's not she's a Pearl yeah but I like you know how they always talk about how the diamonds are so powerful and perfect so I thought maybe their abilities were also can you calling element changing your abilities appearances gem placement shapes colors and I have a little evidence to support me on this theory
Ok theory time! First off: The soldiers I believe the Famethyst will come back into play soon. But how? Lets answer this. I believe amethyst will go on mission to find them with centipeetle (more about that in a little bit) steven and jasper and possibly peridot!? Let me explain through a fake story... Steven and the gems begin to panic about the war so they discuss a plan. Steven manages to heal the centipeetles and jasper and they go to the zoo in centipeetles' ship. They arrive and load the Famethyst onto the ship and holly blue reports it to the diamonds. Sparking anger in the diamonds and they plan of an attack on earth. Once again. In the strawberry battlefield. Centipeetle? And jasper... AND BISMUTH! Steven makes a last attempt to heal a corrupted gem. But tries it on jasper so he doesn't upset centipeetle. He fails... Later that night he has a dream. He is in jaspers mind. Him and jasper have a mini fight and ends it with jasper accepting steven is not rose. She gains a little trust with steven which leads to her being healed through a tag team fight with jasper and steven vs. Corrupted jasper. They poof the corruoted jasper and steven heals its gem. Resulting in the uncorruption of jasper. Centipeetle is another story... After his success he tells the gems. They allow him to unbubble jasper and she is redeemed. But steven thinks about centipeetle a lot. And he learns how to go into the minds of gems which comes into play later. He heals centipeetle the same way. Resulting in him doing the same for her crew. Revealing their backstories and more info on the war. They become an alliance to the gems, possibly crystal gems. Bismuth... Steven unbubbles bismuth and steven gives her therapy and makes sure she doesn't shatter any gems in the war. She agrees and is happy she can participate in the war without rose getting in her way. The Famethyst and the new gems all train for the fight. But then... Lars returns to earth in the ship. And the off colors are mistaken for homeworld gems by the crystal gem army. But are accepted to earth after steven brings them all together. Later in time He manages to use his dream powers to control minds. Like in the new Lars. Soon after this arc/stevenbomb or something A homeworld gem arrives on earth declaring war on the crystal gem. Steven agrees to settle this once and for all. A battle against the diamonds This leads to ships upon ships coming to earth. Bismuths building battle towers and shelters. And before the wars starts... A white ship appears in the sky. Its white diamond. Before the war she gives steven the chance for trail and to admit to pinks shattering. He denies. Zircon returns and ends up turning the diamonds. In front of all homeworld. The war begins and the gems go to work in the battlefield. In the end their is a deeper and more tragic part. A 2 hour episode so end the series. The crystal gem army is taken to a room. Against a trial. Steven and zircon go to "war" with yellow D and yellow Zircon. In the end yelliw is found guilty and they give steven the option to shatter her for all the trouble she caused for him. He denies and the diamonds and steven have a meeting alone. In the end they have a treaty and they join forces with steven. Steven is named the "new diamond" takes pinks place in the authority. All gems are free to be anything they want and aliens and gems across the galaxy join forces creating a final scene with steven talking to Greg. He thanks his dad dor everything and the final line he speajs to everyone on homeworld. "I have forfilled my destiny" Steven recruits humans to help. The army is put into groups Brains of the war.

Hi its Fishy woah.. That a long and awsome thoery you have thereee.. I'm starting to think you're one of the creator of the SU.. Im joking.. But ur theory thooo.. There's a possibility that some parts of ur theory might happen.. Yayy K bye..
Hi its Fishy there's one problem when the crystal jams see the ships they say they couldn't fly not in a million years so unless that comes after jasper and maybe peridot teaching her to fix things and they fix the ship all gravity falls style
Yay! Great breakdown as always.....though I have to say my only issue with the "pearl is defective" theory is that imo it'd contradict Peridot saying she's a "Fancy" Pearl.
RedAmalgam that is why i personally never belived she belonged to a diamond, maybe she was made for 1 but upon realizing she was defective she was given to a less important gem, or she never was intended to be a diamond's Pearl's to begin with and was not shattered cause she was "just a common Pearl" (wich Peridot called her too), i do belive she is defective but was not shattered cause at that momment Pearls were seen as the least likely gem to rebel as they are always with the gem they belong to and are very loyal to them, homeworld seems to treat pearls worse than any other gem so maybe before our Pearl jpined the crysyal gems, having a defective Pearl was a more common thing as if our Pearl is really defective (wich is very likely cause of what Jasper called her in "The Return") she still seems like was able to do what she was made to do, serve, maybe after our Pearl joined the crystal gems pearls had to be perfect and had to not come wring cause now they were a aware a defective peatl was likely to rebel.
Peridot Pines idk, I get what you're saying but I'm more willing to believe Peridot, a "certified kindergartner", than Jasper who called her defective just in that instance. In 'Beta' Peridot displayed her knowledge by gathering a lot of info on the beta gems just by looking at their exit holes. She would definitely know if Pearl was truly defective just by looking at her. We haven't seen any other Pearl use their abilities but as of now it seems like our Pearl is fully functional.
In the main our Pearl seems to have belonged originally to/created for White Diamond, but was "defective" in her creation, with far too much intelligence and forwardness to be a proper Pearl by Homeworld standards, and with elements from at least two other hues embedded in her. Hence, I I believe she was quickly dumped by White Diamond onto Pink Diamond's court, where our Pearl had a miserable existence until she met Rose Quartz, who recognized her virtues as well as her flaws and asked Pink Diamond to have Pearl assigned to her. While Rose had no need for a purely decorative or menial servant, she saw how useful Pearl could be trained as her pilot and bodyguard during her missions. Even at the time of The Answer, which is the earliest detailed canon depiction we have of Pearl, her form is significantly changed from when she was created, seen in silhouette when she reformed and which apparently resembled the version used in the SU pilot episode. This, I believe, reflects a desire to reform into one more practical for missions in space and on unknown worlds rather than for life at a Diamond's court. (In the SU Art & Origins book, Rebecca Sugar wrote a timeline that includes Pearl's beginning: "A NEW, SENSIBLE P(EARL) IS CUSTOM (MADE) & DELIVERED PINK") Ultimately, a Pearl serves a Diamond, who may be assigned to the Gems whom that Diamond deems worthy of the honor. When Pearl stopped short of saying whom she served, I feel she was going to say either Pink Diamond or Rose, but realized that in speaking of either name to Steven would have led to the situation becoming more tense, especially if Rose was instrumental in establishing the Zoo for Pink Diamond. Why didn't our Pearl recognize Yellow Diamond's personal Pearl? My headcanon is that YP is but the latest in a series of Pearls who've served YD, but who were shattered on a depressingly regular basis when their mistress became incensed at something (noting how YP turned instantly from smug contempt towards Peridot to obvious fear and concern when YD became angry, and how YD poofed...but at least didn't shatter...her own loyal Zircon in a fit of pique over the course of "Rose"'s trial). Blue Pearl, on the other hand, apparently has served Blue Diamond for millennia (The Answer) and displays no personal fear of her mistress. The origins of the Crystal Gem rebellion and the true circumstances of Pink Diamond's (alleged) shattering are so far obscure, but as I don't believe that our Pearl was the personal Pearl of a Diamond she could not have been involved directly with PD's shattering; and if Pearl did such a thing on her own volition I cannot believe that Rose Quartz would have accepted a psychotic into her inner circle, and would have poofed and bubbled Pearl as she did Bismuth. At this point, I believe that Rose was framed by a conspiracy, that Pearl and Garnet are convinced that Rose shattered PD and that, since she realized she couldn't prove her innocence, Rose never strenuously denied it.
She probably belonged to a multi color Gem, since Pearl is an iridescent pearl. Iridescent pearls change color depending on how you look at them, and Pearl's gem has been shown to be either white and pink, white and blue, or just only white.
She's multicolored NOW, in the flashbacks she's colored either white (when Garnet is telling Stephen how Ruby and Sapphire met) or mostly pink tones (during the Greg and Rose era when she was most close to Rose herself). She takes the most time with her regenerations and is very deliberate about her choices. Her colors now are sort of a salmon pink, turquoise, golden yellow and white. In other words, off-shade variations on all the diamonds' colors. Her main struggle is independence. In other words she is trying to distance herself from belonging to anyone by appearing as if she belongs a little bit to all of them.
Inarticulate Fuckery That's pretty inaccurate. Sure in the aesthetic part of The Answer, she was white, but that was shown to not at all be the case when we see Pearl again after Garnet fell. Plus, 80's Pearl has the color of every Diamond. White skin, white veil, yellow border on her veil, pink legwarmers, and blue tank top and shoes.
Inarticulate Fuckery And you're color thing might be true, but it's highly unlikely. The colors are still white, blue, pink, and yellow. That just seems to be her main color pallet
Highly unlikely, based on what? We know she got poofed and reformed a lot during the war, we don't know what she looked like before she rebelled and her color in Garnet's story is metaphorical, not literal. If you really have to count her as inherently multicolored, consider that rainbows happen when WHITE light is separated. Pearl being white (her skin is always white, so far we havent seen any gem change her skin hue) and then choosing to dress colorfully strongly implies that being colorful was a conscious change on her part, not her original state.
I love that you're discussing this. This is one of the persistent questions I most want answered! I have a few thoughts, which are probably not original with me. I haven't read every comment. What about the green? She's always wearing green. Was she defective because she was a multi-colored Pearl? Or does the green have a meaning? Could she have been made to serve all of the Diamonds in some capacity? As others are probably saying, it would explain why when she fuses with Rose, it makes Rainbow Quartz and when she fuses with Amethyst she makes Opal, another multi-colored gem.
Dark idea after the war Yellow Diamond's Pearl was shattered. That Pearl Peridot contacted was a replacement. I could Pearl owners shattering or replacing their Pearls regularly.
Hi great video! I agree in thinking Pearl is "defective" (according to homeworld). But pink took her in. I would hope for a backstory as cool as this! Keep up the great work! 😁
Jasper called Pearl defective, right? Many of the Off Colors seem to be from Pink Diamonds court. What if, if the 'Pink Diamond is kind theory' is the case, she loved defective gems just as well? What is Pearl belonged to WD at first and was supposed to have been gotten rid of but PD took her in instead?
How could Pearls (except Yellow and Blue Diamond's) not know each other? Do they look like strangers to each other? No. They should be able to know each other like other Gems of the same type knows each other.
I loved your idea that Pearl has been 'passed around' between more than one owner... I have wondered for a while if perhaps Pearl wasn't a personal servant, but rather some type of shrine assistant or colonization assistant, kind of like a museum docent. She exhibits all four colors of the diamond authority; it could be that she really did serve "Homeworld" as she said in that one episode (perhaps she was about to say 'the Diamonds'). Pearl is detail-oriented, loves to teach, knows an extensive amount of Gem/Homeworld lore and history, knows the location of most Gem ruins and sites of interest, the purpose of most gem artifacts that Steven encounters, and has the ability to project scenes and holograms, and store items within her gem. She would be the perfect servant to assist with maintaining Homeworld culture and preserving Diamond authority on new planets. That might also explain why she was a space traveller who loved to explore, before the time when she knew Rose Quartz. Maybe she was given by one of the other Diamonds to Pink Diamond for a time to assist with building the new colony, and this is how she met Rose? Also, I'm not sure that I'm sold on the idea that Homeworld considered our Pearl to be an 'off-color' or defective gem. I think the clearest sign pointing to that is that Peridot never said anything about it when she met Pearl. She was very quick to list everyone's faults, and her criticism of Pearl was about Pearl's behavior and sense of self, not her gem shape or quality. I think Jasper's comment on Pearl being 'defective' was due to her fighting stance and weapon, not her actual gem. If that was so, I'm not sure Pearl would have been allowed to serve Homeworld at all; likely they would have just shattered her like they wanted to do with the Rutile twins or Padparadscha. Anyways, thanks for another very thoughtful video! I love your channel!
Theory time! I'll make it short. Pearl is an era 1 pearl, which explains why her gem is oval, why she can summon a weapon, and it also explains why she said not all pearls know each other. Yellow and blue diamond probably have had other pearls. Ok so theorized timeline! Pearl was made on homeworld as a servant for white diamond, when pink diamond conquered earth, white gave our pearl to pink as a gift, recplacing her with a special era 2 pearl for herself. So pearl was passed on to pink diamond. Notice how in the trial, the pearls look shocked when pink pearl was mentioned, what if pearl wanted to not be pinks pearl anymore, and ran away. Rose was the only gem she could be with. It also makes sense if the song escapism was for pearl as there appear to be lots of flashbacks in season 5. It would also make sense why her two main colours are pink and white! Ok! Theory over! You can go home now.
Take a shot every time you hear the word "Diamond". Haha, jk Crystal, good video! Lol I didn't even notice Pearl's color pallet had all the colors of the Diamond authority until this video.
I once belived pearl was a hand-me-down gem originally serving white diamond first, then yellow, later blue and at the end pink until she was dumped by pink; but now that i saw a single pale rose i know pink diamond didn't dump her, i won't write more details to prevent a bigger spoiler
Toon Link but what some would consider a "white diamond" can reflect different colors. That's what I meant... lol but thanks for your opinion though...
I like in the desc you say how there is 3 choices. With the information from the new episode there is only 1 ((technically 2)) (And yes I know this was made before the episodes.)
I read a birth stone/favourite stone horoscope and apparently pearls don't like being away to different owners. Hmmm... I think pearl was intended for white diamond, but as she was defective she was sent to a less important diamond, like pink diamond.
Pad Fam that's actually a good theory of one I've never actually heard even though my theory that Pearl is a diamond possibly either white or pink cuz we haven't seen those two cuz you know how always parallel and Holly blue Agate were talking about how powerful the diamonds are and I thought maybe they're able to shape-shift like some other gems are and I was thinking if they're so powerful maybe they can change I don't know their gem type that cuts the placement the shape the colors and I think it's either pink or possibly white who's Pearl then again it's just a theory so calm down who don't agree I actually agree on yours
You're welcome Pad Fam is it me or I'm just tired of people saying No Pearl Zone by pink diamond she's home by white diamond and I actually believe that it was a fusion for a little while actually cuz it would kind of make sense of the diamond Insignia the old one and that Pearl had multiple colors even though my friends say it's an art choice I have to disagree then again I do have my own Theory that possibly she is either pink or white diamond
Given that her colors match to all four diamonds, I have a theory that Pearl was made to serve as a liaison between the diamonds; an emissary used when one needed to send important messages to another, or to other gems as a sort of ambassador. This explains why she seems to have a wide array of skills beyond what a pearl should know, like advanced combat (we know she learned a lot of that post rebelling but we have seen no other evidence that other pearls carry weapons or are trained to fight) technical skills (she's nearly peridot level with mechanics again, not something one would expect from what is basically an assistant to a Court gem unless that gem was a technician as well) and piloting (again, something normally done mostly by Nephrites as far as we know, though apparently other gems can do it.) She's a pearl of all trades, and seems to be quite skilled in all of them. That seems to jibe with a pearl designed to be highly independent and self sufficient, which an ambassador would be.
I just have this belief that has always stuck with me. Its that Pearl never had an owner, but she was probably going to be shattered or something among those lines, and Pearl was found by Rose Quartz, and Pearl basically hated everything about homeworld and joined Rose in her rebellion.
I can't edit a comment on a 3DS, but I just wanted to add in that Pearl was probably rejected, and she was going to be shattered because she had no use to anyone,
In space race pearl's outfit which had the pink diamond logo was blue therefore her original owner could have been a gem who had a blue outfit, pink hair and a gem on their forehead that served pink diamond
More evidence We've never really had an explanation as why pearl loved rose so much but I think I know why since rose almost definitely shattered pink diamond maybe that's why since she shattered her she was free
I wonder If pink diamond sang the corruption song with the other diamonds would a gems mind be completely destroyed making a gem a regular gemstone instead of the fabric of their mind being torn apart
Maybe she had multiple owners since she was defective, according to jasper. She kept getting passed down until encountering rose and we know how the story goes from there. Thats just what i think though
Crystal I think pearl belongs to white diamond and I believe sense we saw a Pink diamond on her space suit I believe after pearl became a crystal gem and she Changed her space suit into a pink diamond and rose was in pink diamond court She put a pink diamond on it maybe because she was reassigned to rose do you think
I know for sure that Pearl's original owner was White Diamond because their embedded gems on their foreheads which they represent each other like other Diamonds and their Pearls and because Pearl's gem and scheme is white like whip cream.
Maybe our Pearl is a defective gem. White saw that she was defective and abandoned her. Rose eventually found her and Pearl became hers. Idk that's my theory
one problem with the theory - if Pearl was given to Pink Diamond from White Diamond... didn't Pink Diamond have her own "perfect" Pearl? Surely our Pearl would not then be the Pink Pearl that didn't cry out before Pink's shattering.
It would not be possible for rose to own a pearl though because they are the same rank as a Jasper or amethyst - just a soldier. Yes pearls are lower ranked (excluding the diamonds pearls of course) because they are just servants kind of thing in homeworld, but they would have to do something very incredible to get a pearl. Like stopping a rebellion or saving a diamond or something that would make them high ranking.
I'm pretty sure why Rebecca Sugar hasn't told us all of the mystery in steven universe is because she doesn't know yet XD thats how it is in all my stories
What if none of this is true and her owner is just Rose... that would make a lot more sense for the pink diamond in pearl thing. But then again it would be amazing to see that she served a diamond! ;)
I think Pearl belonged to Rose Quartz. During Pearl's hologram of Rose she played the conversation they had before the battle for earth. Rose called her, "My Pearl". During the show The Answer when Garnet introduced Rose Quartz and Pearl she said, "Rose Quartz the leader of the rebellion and HER terryifying renegade Pearl."
A few things - 1. Garnet certainly must have known about the moon base, especially when she tried to steer Steven away from that mysterious room. Pearl's announcing that the base was on the moon was for Steven (and possibly Peridot and Amethyst's) sake. 2. Pearl's comment about not knowing pearls doesn't mean she didn't recognize the Diamonds' pearls; she was stating that just because they were pearls didn't mean she knew them. It's like you asking me if I know that random black person on the street because I'm black. Even if I recognize him, it's a little demeaning to assume that all black/white/hispanic/asian/gay/short/etc people know other black/white/hispanic/asian/gay/short/etc people because of similarities between them. I'm sure it was more of a lesson to Steven to not assume things based on looks. I lean towards the theory that Pearl belonged to White Diamond. Coloring, gem placement, and temperament counteract her belonging to any other Diamond besides White. And again, just because Pearl has been the human zoo doesn't mean she had to belong to Pink. Obviously Blue and Yellow not only know about the zoo, but can chill out in a room there. And they also brought their pearls along. As for Blue and Yellow Pearl not recognizing our pearl - you're right. It's been well over what, 6, 7,000 years and Pearl's attire has probably changed numerous times. And as with the above, you're assuming that she would be immediately recognized - Blue Diamond didn't even recognize the very two gems that had fused in her court.
I think that Pearl belonged to White, and White wanted Pearl to kill Pink, because Pink was to caring about earth, so she did. But not before she became friends with Rose, who wanted to protect Pearl, so she took blame for it, which is why Pearl feels so guilty about Pink.
Well White Diamond has her gem on her Head...So does Pearl. Blue and Yellow Pearl both have there gems on their chests just like there diamonds... LOL IDK
I know all pearls Yellow diamond = yellow pearl Blue diamond = blue pearl Pink diamond = unknown as pink pearl... (she doesn't have a pearl) White diamond : original pearl
Rose quartz was pink diamond so Pearl which gave the pink diamond a few thousand years before she got her colony but she never after that she said she could tell him everything never mentioned white diamond being hurled server and pearl with basically in love with her and so was Rose for a while so yeah and was very sensitive to the subject of Sushi served because she didn't want to tell Steven or the rest of the Crystal Gems who she served and who pink diamond was on accident she physically actually couldn't cuz the diamond gave her an order never to tell anyone that
Fictional Crystal to be honest I always thought Pearl was White diamond cuz you know how long the show everyone talks about how powerful the diamonds are so I thought maybe they're also able to change size form gem size colors gem placements so I think either Pearl is pink diamond or white diamond
Pearl belong to white diamond and that is true so why they not choose orange Pearl and other Pearl to be cristal gem so there are secret in that Pearl so blue diamond hair is white and her Pearl hair is blue and Pearl her Pearl is peach and there are possibly Pearl belong to white diamond i finished
Finally giving my opinion on this topic!
Fictional Crystals hi how are you? Are you british? Great theory. Have a good day.
Fictional Crystals omg you said my theory 😄this is best
Fictional Crystals where did you live? 🌎🌍🌏
I think this is the most accurate theory~!!!
Fictional Crystals to be honest I always thought Pearl was White Diamond or pink and I know you're going to say no she's not she's a Pearl yeah but I like you know how they always talk about how the diamonds are so powerful and perfect so I thought maybe their abilities were also can you calling element changing your abilities appearances gem placement shapes colors and I have a little evidence to support me on this theory
I wonder if Pearl was a gift from White to Pink
Pearls are such puppies in home world😂
That is what I was thinking.
Ok theory time!
First off: The soldiers
I believe the Famethyst will come back into play soon. But how? Lets answer this.
I believe amethyst will go on mission to find them with centipeetle (more about that in a little bit) steven and jasper and possibly peridot!? Let me explain through a fake story...
Steven and the gems begin to panic about the war so they discuss a plan. Steven manages to heal the centipeetles and jasper and they go to the zoo in centipeetles' ship. They arrive and load the Famethyst onto the ship and holly blue reports it to the diamonds. Sparking anger in the diamonds and they plan of an attack on earth. Once again. In the strawberry battlefield.
Centipeetle? And jasper... AND BISMUTH!
Steven makes a last attempt to heal a corrupted gem. But tries it on jasper so he doesn't upset centipeetle. He fails...
Later that night he has a dream. He is in jaspers mind. Him and jasper have a mini fight and ends it with jasper accepting steven is not rose. She gains a little trust with steven which leads to her being healed through a tag team fight with jasper and steven vs. Corrupted jasper. They poof the corruoted jasper and steven heals its gem. Resulting in the uncorruption of jasper.
Centipeetle is another story...
After his success he tells the gems. They allow him to unbubble jasper and she is redeemed. But steven thinks about centipeetle a lot. And he learns how to go into the minds of gems which comes into play later. He heals centipeetle the same way. Resulting in him doing the same for her crew. Revealing their backstories and more info on the war. They become an alliance to the gems, possibly crystal gems.
Bismuth...
Steven unbubbles bismuth and steven gives her therapy and makes sure she doesn't shatter any gems in the war. She agrees and is happy she can participate in the war without rose getting in her way.
The Famethyst and the new gems all train for the fight. But then... Lars returns to earth in the ship. And the off colors are mistaken for homeworld gems by the crystal gem army. But are accepted to earth after steven brings them all together.
Later in time He manages to use his dream powers to control minds. Like in the new Lars.
Soon after this arc/stevenbomb or something
A homeworld gem arrives on earth declaring war on the crystal gem. Steven agrees to settle this once and for all. A battle against the diamonds
This leads to ships upon ships coming to earth. Bismuths building battle towers and shelters. And before the wars starts... A white ship appears in the sky. Its white diamond. Before the war she gives steven the chance for trail and to admit to pinks shattering. He denies. Zircon returns and ends up turning the diamonds. In front of all homeworld. The war begins and the gems go to work in the battlefield.
In the end their is a deeper and more tragic part. A 2 hour episode so end the series.
The crystal gem army is taken to a room. Against a trial. Steven and zircon go to "war" with yellow D and yellow Zircon. In the end yelliw is found guilty and they give steven the option to shatter her for all the trouble she caused for him. He denies and the diamonds and steven have a meeting alone. In the end they have a treaty and they join forces with steven. Steven is named the "new diamond" takes pinks place in the authority. All gems are free to be anything they want and aliens and gems across the galaxy join forces creating a final scene with steven talking to Greg. He thanks his dad dor everything and the final line he speajs to everyone on homeworld. "I have forfilled my destiny"
Steven recruits humans to help.

Hi its Fishy woah.. That a long and awsome thoery you have thereee.. I'm starting to think you're one of the creator of the SU.. Im joking.. But ur theory thooo.. There's a possibility that some parts of ur theory might happen..
Yayy
K bye..
Dawn Irene lol I wrote it all on SU amino the poated it on here
Hi its Fishy oh..ok.. But its still awsome cuz it's still ur theory and it's freakin' awsomee lol
Cinnamon maybe she could be a tank. Its slow but does a lot of damage. Maybe fluorite has some power that can wipe a gem off their feet.
Hi its Fishy there's one problem when the crystal jams see the ships they say they couldn't fly not in a million years so unless that comes after jasper and maybe peridot teaching her to fix things and they fix the ship all gravity falls style

Hence, I I believe she was quickly dumped by White Diamond onto Pink Diamond's court, where our Pearl had a miserable existence until she met Rose Quartz, who recognized her virtues as well as her flaws and asked Pink Diamond to have Pearl assigned to her. While Rose had no need for a purely decorative or menial servant, she saw how useful Pearl could be trained as her pilot and bodyguard during her missions.

(In the SU Art & Origins book, Rebecca Sugar wrote a timeline that includes Pearl's beginning: "A NEW, SENSIBLE P(EARL) IS CUSTOM (MADE) & DELIVERED PINK")
Ultimately, a Pearl serves a Diamond, who may be assigned to the Gems whom that Diamond deems worthy of the honor.

This was one of my favorite videos yall have ever posted. I love pearl so much

This is so detailed.... I LOVE IT!!
She probably belonged to a multi color Gem, since Pearl is an iridescent pearl. Iridescent pearls change color depending on how you look at them, and Pearl's gem has been shown to be either white and pink, white and blue, or just only white.
She's multicolored NOW, in the flashbacks she's colored either white (when Garnet is telling Stephen how Ruby and Sapphire met) or mostly pink tones (during the Greg and Rose era when she was most close to Rose herself). She takes the most time with her regenerations and is very deliberate about her choices. Her colors now are sort of a salmon pink, turquoise, golden yellow and white. In other words, off-shade variations on all the diamonds' colors. Her main struggle is independence. In other words she is trying to distance herself from belonging to anyone by appearing as if she belongs a little bit to all of them.
Inarticulate Fuckery That's pretty inaccurate. Sure in the aesthetic part of The Answer, she was white, but that was shown to not at all be the case when we see Pearl again after Garnet fell. Plus, 80's Pearl has the color of every Diamond. White skin, white veil, yellow border on her veil, pink legwarmers, and blue tank top and shoes.
Inarticulate Fuckery The only time Pearl has never not had the color of every Diamond was in Buddy's Book. That had no pink.
Inarticulate Fuckery And you're color thing might be true, but it's highly unlikely. The colors are still white, blue, pink, and yellow. That just seems to be her main color pallet
Highly unlikely, based on what? We know she got poofed and reformed a lot during the war, we don't know what she looked like before she rebelled and her color in Garnet's story is metaphorical, not literal. If you really have to count her as inherently multicolored, consider that rainbows happen when WHITE light is separated. Pearl being white (her skin is always white, so far we havent seen any gem change her skin hue) and then choosing to dress colorfully strongly implies that being colorful was a conscious change on her part, not her original state.
I hope we get some explaining from Pearl because her past must be connected to pink diamond IMO
"With every question answered more questions appear." - Fictional Crystals
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Has anyone ever told you how appealing your voice is? Cause I love it!
Fictional Crystals thank you sooooo much for keeping me entertained while steven universe is on hiatus
I love that you're discussing this. This is one of the persistent questions I most want answered! I have a few thoughts, which are probably not original with me. I haven't read every comment.
What about the green? She's always wearing green. Was she defective because she was a multi-colored Pearl? Or does the green have a meaning? Could she have been made to serve all of the Diamonds in some capacity? As others are probably saying, it would explain why when she fuses with Rose, it makes Rainbow Quartz and when she fuses with Amethyst she makes Opal, another multi-colored gem.
Dark idea after the war Yellow Diamond's Pearl was shattered. That Pearl Peridot contacted was a replacement. I could Pearl owners shattering or replacing their Pearls regularly.
there are pearl in different shapes but they're very rare and more expensive
It's scary how good that theory was though.
Hi great video! I agree in thinking Pearl is "defective" (according to homeworld). But pink took her in. I would hope for a backstory as cool as this! Keep up the great work! 😁
Jasper called Pearl defective, right? Many of the Off Colors seem to be from Pink Diamonds court. What if, if the 'Pink Diamond is kind theory' is the case, she loved defective gems just as well? What is Pearl belonged to WD at first and was supposed to have been gotten rid of but PD took her in instead?
How could Pearls (except Yellow and Blue Diamond's) not know each other? Do they look like strangers to each other? No. They should be able to know each other like other Gems of the same type knows each other.
You deserve more subs. Good video👍🏼👍🏼
When are we getting new episodes?
Walking With Stupid never
Welp turns out to be rose/pink diamond
I loved your idea that Pearl has been 'passed around' between more than one owner... I have wondered for a while if perhaps Pearl wasn't a personal servant, but rather some type of shrine assistant or colonization assistant, kind of like a museum docent.
She exhibits all four colors of the diamond authority; it could be that she really did serve "Homeworld" as she said in that one episode (perhaps she was about to say 'the Diamonds').
Pearl is detail-oriented, loves to teach, knows an extensive amount of Gem/Homeworld lore and history, knows the location of most Gem ruins and sites of interest, the purpose of most gem artifacts that Steven encounters, and has the ability to project scenes and holograms, and store items within her gem.
She would be the perfect servant to assist with maintaining Homeworld culture and preserving Diamond authority on new planets. That might also explain why she was a space traveller who loved to explore, before the time when she knew Rose Quartz. Maybe she was given by one of the other Diamonds to Pink Diamond for a time to assist with building the new colony, and this is how she met Rose?
Also, I'm not sure that I'm sold on the idea that Homeworld considered our Pearl to be an 'off-color' or defective gem. I think the clearest sign pointing to that is that Peridot never said anything about it when she met Pearl. She was very quick to list everyone's faults, and her criticism of Pearl was about Pearl's behavior and sense of self, not her gem shape or quality. I think Jasper's comment on Pearl being 'defective' was due to her fighting stance and weapon, not her actual gem. If that was so, I'm not sure Pearl would have been allowed to serve Homeworld at all; likely they would have just shattered her like they wanted to do with the Rutile twins or Padparadscha.
Anyways, thanks for another very thoughtful video! I love your channel!
Theory time! I'll make it short. Pearl is an era 1 pearl, which explains why her gem is oval, why she can summon a weapon, and it also explains why she said not all pearls know each other. Yellow and blue diamond probably have had other pearls. Ok so theorized timeline!
Pearl was made on homeworld as a servant for white diamond, when pink diamond conquered earth, white gave our pearl to pink as a gift, recplacing her with a special era 2 pearl for herself. So pearl was passed on to pink diamond. Notice how in the trial, the pearls look shocked when pink pearl was mentioned, what if pearl wanted to not be pinks pearl anymore, and ran away. Rose was the only gem she could be with. It also makes sense if the song escapism was for pearl as there appear to be lots of flashbacks in season 5. It would also make sense why her two main colours are pink and white! Ok! Theory over! You can go home now.
I think she served Rose.
Ye, Rose
Take a shot every time you hear the word "Diamond".
Haha, jk Crystal, good video!
Lol I didn't even notice Pearl's color pallet had all the colors of the Diamond authority until this video.
I once belived pearl was a hand-me-down gem originally serving white diamond first, then yellow, later blue and at the end pink until she was dumped by pink; but now that i saw a single pale rose i know pink diamond didn't dump her, i won't write more details to prevent a bigger spoiler
Don't forget Pearl's light is like a sky blue, similar to her tunic.
I
hope its white diamond
steve den I mean, it's probably not since Pearl has the color of every Diamond
yeah i guess
steve den head cannon. white Diamond is multi colored.
tiny pasta You literally contradicted yourself in that statement. Plus, diamonds can come in any color, but can't be multicolored.
Toon Link but what some would consider a "white diamond" can reflect different colors. That's what I meant... lol but thanks for your opinion though...
gems are made of light, so if we go by light physics, white is the combination of all the colors. which explains pearls weird multi-color combo.
You earned a sub!
I like in the desc you say how there is 3 choices. With the information from the new episode there is only 1 ((technically 2)) (And yes I know this was made before the episodes.)
4:32and NO one is going to consider the possibility she was Lying
I read a birth stone/favourite stone horoscope and apparently pearls don't like being away to different owners.
Hmmm...
I think pearl was intended for white diamond, but as she was defective she was sent to a less important diamond, like pink diamond.
hey its fictional crystals and.. who was pearls former owner
OMG THEORY! Pearl could have belonged to the fusion of all diamonds!
idk XD just her colors all have the diamonds colors
Pad Fam that's actually a good theory of one I've never actually heard even though my theory that Pearl is a diamond possibly either white or pink cuz we haven't seen those two cuz you know how always parallel and Holly blue Agate were talking about how powerful the diamonds are and I thought maybe they're able to shape-shift like some other gems are and I was thinking if they're so powerful maybe they can change I don't know their gem type that cuts the placement the shape the colors and I think it's either pink or possibly white who's Pearl then again it's just a theory so calm down who don't agree I actually agree on yours
awww thank you!
You're welcome Pad Fam is it me or I'm just tired of people saying No Pearl Zone by pink diamond she's home by white diamond and I actually believe that it was a fusion for a little while actually cuz it would kind of make sense of the diamond Insignia the old one and that Pearl had multiple colors even though my friends say it's an art choice I have to disagree then again I do have my own Theory that possibly she is either pink or white diamond
I personally think that before Rose was a rebel, she was a high class soldier and her pearl was our pearl.
Theory Time - Okay, so I've realized that Lion's mane looks EXTREMELY similar to Pink Diamond's hair, as seen in the statue, and i'm just shook.
Given that her colors match to all four diamonds, I have a theory that Pearl was made to serve as a liaison between the diamonds; an emissary used when one needed to send important messages to another, or to other gems as a sort of ambassador. This explains why she seems to have a wide array of skills beyond what a pearl should know, like advanced combat (we know she learned a lot of that post rebelling but we have seen no other evidence that other pearls carry weapons or are trained to fight) technical skills (she's nearly peridot level with mechanics again, not something one would expect from what is basically an assistant to a Court gem unless that gem was a technician as well) and piloting (again, something normally done mostly by Nephrites as far as we know, though apparently other gems can do it.) She's a pearl of all trades, and seems to be quite skilled in all of them. That seems to jibe with a pearl designed to be highly independent and self sufficient, which an ambassador would be.
Pearl is White diamond's pearl tho.
But who's Pink' s?
I just have this belief that has always stuck with me. Its that Pearl never had an owner, but she was probably going to be shattered or something among those lines, and Pearl was found by Rose Quartz, and Pearl basically hated everything about homeworld and joined Rose in her rebellion.
I can't edit a comment on a 3DS, but I just wanted to add in that Pearl was probably rejected, and she was going to be shattered because she had no use to anyone,
In space race pearl's outfit which had the pink diamond logo was blue therefore her original owner could have been a gem who had a blue outfit, pink hair and a gem on their forehead that served pink diamond
I love how you say the word "answered." From what country is your accent?
You earned my like :)
She belonged to staline
Who is Staline?
More evidence
We've never really had an explanation as why pearl loved rose so much but I think I know why since rose almost definitely shattered pink diamond maybe that's why since she shattered her she was free
I wonder If pink diamond sang the corruption song with the other diamonds would a gems mind be completely destroyed making a gem a regular gemstone instead of the fabric of their mind being torn apart
I just wanna go up to Pearl and yell " WHITE DIAMOND"
Note to self- make eye contact when trying to hide somrthing
You're my favorite theorist fictional crystals....good theory!!!:-):-):-):-)
Maybe she had multiple owners since she was defective, according to jasper. She kept getting passed down until encountering rose and we know how the story goes from there. Thats just what i think though
*Rhodenites pearl use to serve a gem named Rhodenite* She said Morganite actually
Is white D. a fusion or is she homeworld itself?
The green gems are the Angry, Operating, Repairing and ship builders(or controllers :p I THINK...)
Crystal I think pearl belongs to white diamond and I believe sense we saw a
Pink diamond on her space suit I believe after pearl became a crystal gem and she
Changed her space suit into a pink diamond and rose was in pink diamond court
She put a pink diamond on it maybe because she was reassigned to rose do you think
Holy White (or dead pink)?
Pink
Her actual owner is White Diamond but her second owner is Pink Diamond
Jasper called her defective, and she has her gemstone on her head not on her navel. 😑
I know for sure that Pearl's original owner was White Diamond because their embedded gems on their foreheads which they represent each other like other Diamonds and their Pearls and because Pearl's gem and scheme is white like whip cream.
I think jasper saying pearl was defective because she wasn't loyal to the authority
Because a gem without it's loyalty is a defect
Pearls are too hard to be shattered.
take a shot every time she says diamond
I love your theory BUT I still think her owner is white diamond bc she does not know the zoo that much and her gem and skin colour is the same
This is a great theory. Now if only we could get some concrete evidence if we *JUST HAD SOME NEW EPISODES!!!!!*
Sorry.
OMG this is pretty much my headcanon too! :3
She was with her owner all along,rose,who was pink Diamond, who was pearls owner
Maybe our Pearl is a defective gem. White saw that she was defective and abandoned her. Rose eventually found her and Pearl became hers. Idk that's my theory
Because of the gem placement
Maybe White took Pink's pearl and gave her her Pearl which is the pearl we know.
one problem with the theory - if Pearl was given to Pink Diamond from White Diamond... didn't Pink Diamond have her own "perfect" Pearl? Surely our Pearl would not then be the Pink Pearl that didn't cry out before Pink's shattering.
It would not be possible for rose to own a pearl though because they are the same rank as a Jasper or amethyst - just a soldier. Yes pearls are lower ranked (excluding the diamonds pearls of course) because they are just servants kind of thing in homeworld, but they would have to do something very incredible to get a pearl. Like stopping a rebellion or saving a diamond or something that would make them high ranking.
I'm pretty sure why Rebecca Sugar hasn't told us all of the mystery in steven universe is because she doesn't know yet XD thats how it is in all my stories
uhh in single pale rose now we know pearl is pink pearl
I just wanna go up to either BD OR YD and ask " Where's WD?"
What if none of this is true and her owner is just Rose... that would make a lot more sense for the pink diamond in pearl thing. But then again it would be amazing to see that she served a diamond! ;)
take a shot everytime she said diamond-
I think Pearl belonged to Rose Quartz. During Pearl's hologram of Rose she played the conversation they had before the battle for earth. Rose called her, "My Pearl". During the show The Answer when Garnet introduced Rose Quartz and Pearl she said, "Rose Quartz the leader of the rebellion and HER terryifying renegade Pearl."
Butt hey, thats just a theory
A gay theory
nice
That was my theory
A few things - 1. Garnet certainly must have known about the moon base, especially when she tried to steer Steven away from that mysterious room. Pearl's announcing that the base was on the moon was for Steven (and possibly Peridot and Amethyst's) sake. 2. Pearl's comment about not knowing pearls doesn't mean she didn't recognize the Diamonds' pearls; she was stating that just because they were pearls didn't mean she knew them. It's like you asking me if I know that random black person on the street because I'm black. Even if I recognize him, it's a little demeaning to assume that all black/white/hispanic/asian/gay/short/etc people know other black/white/hispanic/asian/gay/short/etc people because of similarities between them. I'm sure it was more of a lesson to Steven to not assume things based on looks.
I lean towards the theory that Pearl belonged to White Diamond. Coloring, gem placement, and temperament counteract her belonging to any other Diamond besides White. And again, just because Pearl has been the human zoo doesn't mean she had to belong to Pink. Obviously Blue and Yellow not only know about the zoo, but can chill out in a room there. And they also brought their pearls along. As for Blue and Yellow Pearl not recognizing our pearl - you're right. It's been well over what, 6, 7,000 years and Pearl's attire has probably changed numerous times. And as with the above, you're assuming that she would be immediately recognized - Blue Diamond didn't even recognize the very two gems that had fused in her court.
That was actually a good theory BUT now we know its not true but maybe some things were true like she belonged to white diamond 💎
Is white diamond
I doubt.. it's PD... I think it may be WD but her gem 💎 wasn't that defective to get her away...
I think that Pearl belonged to White, and White wanted Pearl to kill Pink, because Pink was to caring about earth, so she did. But not before she became friends with Rose, who wanted to protect Pearl, so she took blame for it, which is why Pearl feels so guilty about Pink.
Well White Diamond has her gem on her Head...So does Pearl. Blue and Yellow Pearl both have there gems on their chests just like there diamonds... LOL IDK
Clam Quartz
I know all pearls
Yellow diamond = yellow pearl
Blue diamond = blue pearl
Pink diamond = unknown as pink pearl... (she doesn't have a pearl)
White diamond : original pearl
Pink diamond💗
hi
She was pink dismonds
I love ur accent😍
Rose quartz was pink diamond so Pearl which gave the pink diamond a few thousand years before she got her colony but she never after that she said she could tell him everything never mentioned white diamond being hurled server and pearl with basically in love with her and so was Rose for a while so yeah and was very sensitive to the subject of Sushi served because she didn't want to tell Steven or the rest of the Crystal Gems who she served and who pink diamond was on accident she physically actually couldn't cuz the diamond gave her an order never to tell anyone that
Fictional Crystal to be honest I always thought Pearl was White diamond cuz you know how long the show everyone talks about how powerful the diamonds are so I thought maybe they're also able to change size form gem size colors gem placements so I think either Pearl is pink diamond or white diamond
After watching Season 5 episode 18-19, we know who did she belong to....
Pearl who belong to no one is a Total Bull Sh**....
Pearl is an era 1 Gem So All Pearls Are all white in era 1 And Its Debunked That Pearl Is PinkDiamond/rose's Pearl
Okay so, Pearl is White's. Pink has a pearl "Pink Diamoind's pearl" on Google.
Pearl belong to white diamond and that is true so why they not choose orange Pearl and other Pearl to be cristal gem so there are secret in that Pearl so blue diamond hair is white and her Pearl hair is blue and Pearl her Pearl is peach and there are possibly Pearl belong to white diamond i finished
I know that you already know this now but.. FROSE QUARTZ IS PINK DIAMONDDDRE
