Ok but listen
Agate first met Pearl on The Battlefield. They were on opposite sides, but Pearl’s beauty and grace (not to mention her appetite for blood) mesmerized Agate. Agate was so enchanted by her that when she was poofed she regenerated with a dress instead of the functional battle gear that fighting type gems wear. (This did not please The Diamonds btw).
To date, Agate has yet to truly meet Pearl. Everything she knows of her is through official reports and rumors. Both of which were skewed to make the Rebels look terrible. But somehow it fueled Agate’s attraction.
Bottom line:
Agate is a nutcase. She has an unhealthy obsession over a Gem she’s never met. Yes, I was aware of this when developing her. Flaws make characters interesting.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
