Y’know what I think may have worked out really well?
Pearl and Amethyst swapped personalities.
Think about it, it makes SO MUCH SENSE. Pearl would be reckless and rebellious and sloppy. Everything that a Pearl is not supposed to be. That’s her thing, she’s the renegade Pearl, she’s supposed to be the antithesis of what a Pearl should be. So she just does whatever she wants. She makes a mess because Pearls are meant to be neat, she doesn’t do as she’s told because she spent all her time on Homeworld doing exactly that. She’s headstrong because Pearls aren’t meant to be like that.
Meanwhile Amethyst is obsessed with perfection. Everything has to be perfect because she wasn’t. She came out ‘wrong’, and so she’s obsessed with making sure that everything else around her is perfect. She doesn’t want to eat (or maybe she’s just reluctant) because that’s a human thing and she wants to be a perfect gem. She has a very precise and thought out battle style because it has to be perfect. She was in love with Rose because Rose was a perfect quartz. Rose was everything that Amethyst wanted to be, and never can be.
Idk I just like the idea.
