I get Pink feels uncomfortable with Nora, especially since she has White’s gem but what’s her beef with her anyway?
Ah, so this is a very complex question and one I can’t fully quite explain without spoiling things but using the information available, I’ll try to elaborate.
The first instance we see Pink’s impression of Nora is in the very first panel where she refers to Nora as White, seemingly maliciously. This isn’t necessarily out of hurtfulness. e have to understand that Nora is only about 10. White hasn’t been gone long at all, especially in the eyes of a gem. Pink has never really made an effort to be involved in Nora’s upbringing, she has other things on her mind and things that are keeping her busy. As little as Blue and Yellow have been there, Pink has been there less and is still adapting to this strange new being who took White away. She has no clue what kind of person Nora is.
Another thing is, after her handling of the Earth colony, Pink has very little freedom. Blue and Yellow don’t want her running around the galaxy and causing trouble and her general attitude isn't doing her any favours. Nora, on the other hands, as long as she is supervised by her pearl, is allowed to do those things so resentment has begun to brew.
Perhaps, the most important thing to understanding why it seems Pink hates Nora is we follow Nora in this comic, not Pink. In Nora’s view, things are a lot worse than they are. She sees Pink’s dismissal as hatred so the tension is multiplied. She is a very lonely, secluded child who just wants someone to be there. No matter how much she reaches out to Pink, the only Diamond who would have time for her, there is no response. So she asks herself time and time again, “Why is this gem, who is meant to be my family, shunning me? What am I doing wrong?” She does not know if this something she did, something her mother did or something else entirely.
Hope this maybe cleared a few things up.
