I found it interesting that in Connie and Pearl’s song she states “deep down, you know you’re not meant for fighting” which, backed up by Sugar’s statement of the gems working together to be odd, I’d like to think that pearls have a very specialised job in the gemworld, that does not involve any sort of combat. Just a tidbit.
THere’s the theory that pearls are mainly meant to be servents to the diamonds which would explain her being in lesbians with rose considering there is even more evidence backing up the rose quartz/pink diamond theory.
