Theory:

Pearl was once a maintenance or 'Scout' Gem, (This part of the theory is borrowed from Grabbergirl) and was the Head Scout, like the most important, most reliable scout, the best. She loved her planet, and loved everything about it; She thought it was moral and completely good, and anything that appeared suspicious she shrugged off, telling herself they only had good intentions. Pearl was good friends with a Gem called Garnet, a trainer and a mentor to other Gems, teaching them battle skills and everything she knew about fighting. One day, the Council of Pearl's planet took a special interest in Garnet. They had recently been developing Kindergartens, preparing for a war against Earth, and possibly other planets, to take them over. The Council marvelled in Garnet's fighting skills, and decided to turn her into their weapon. They experimented on her, giving her a third eye. Horrified and scarred over the experience and the look of this third eye, Garnet quickly covered herself and secretly joined a rebellion against the Council. Rose was the leader of this rebellion. Garnet frequently joined their missions, and Pearl began to notice Garnet's disappearances. Worried about her friend, Pearl followed Garnet one day and discovered the rebellion group, which had four members. Garnet told Pearl all about what happened. At first, Pearl didn't believe her, and was disgusted that Garnet would make up such a horrible story about the Gems of the planet she loved so dearly. But then Garnet showed her  the third eye, and Pearl had no choice but to join them in the rebellion against the Council. The Council took notice of the Rebels and launched an attack. Only three of the five Rebels remained: Rose, Pearl, and Garnet. They went undercover and learned of the Council's kindergarten plans, which were already in progress. Fearing of being discovered once more, they fled to Earth, and took it upon themselves to protect it from all their home planet's threats. Meanwhile, on the Gem Planet, the Council quickly noticed Pearl's disappearance; She was greatly vital to their plans and the maintaining of their planet. Frantically they searched for a replacement, and discovered Peridot, an amazingly gifted Gem who had the same skills as Pearl, if not more. She became head Scout Gem, and aided in the Council's plans for Kindergarten. After several battles, The Rebel Gems de-activated the Kindergarten, while rescuing a particular Kindergarten Gem who was different from the others. Amethyst. Back on the Gem Planet, Peridot discovered the true intention of the Council's plans. She was rather uncaring of anything at all, and lacked a conscience, as well as much of any emotion. She was a bit Sociopathic, you could say. Obviously she didn't care about the Gem nations plans, but quickly grew tired of her job, knowing she was not fulfilling all of her potential. Still, she stuck to her task, but always grew bored, and crushed a few Flask Robonoids to cure it, often when they seemed to show any sort of affection. The Council sent Lapis after the Rebel Gems, knowing that the Earth was made mostly of water, and they most likely were near the ocean, considering how much Gems love beaches and water. Lapis could not help but befriend Pearl, and was ready to announce her presence to the other Rebel Gems and stay with them when her Gem cracked after a near-fatal fall. Pearl knew that the mirror she'd found on a mission would contain Lapis's gem, and freeze it in time, preventing any further effects if being cracked. She'd stay forever in that state, and would have to stay inside that mirror. Lapis misunderstood this and thought that Pearl's intention was to betray her, since she knew that she came from the planet she'd ran away from. Pearl, at this time, was not aware of Rose's healing ability. By the time that she found out, Lapis had been forgotten in Amethyst's room, among the mess of tons of things that had been left behind. Long after Lapis, Rose was walking along the beach, admiring the view around her, and then heard something. The most beautiful thing she'd ever heard. She just had to know where it had come from. Quickly she followed the sound to a van, and a handsome long-haired man singing with is guitar, with a ukulele lying on the ground beside the van. She ran over to the ukulele and picked it up and began to play it, singing along to the handsome man's song. He stopped singing. Rose looked stopped too, and looked at him. He was staring at her and then after a while asked, "Who are you?" Rose answered, "I am Rose Quartz." The man nodded, then said, "You have a beautiful singing voice." Afterwards Rose always met the man, who she found out was called Greg, and discovered the wonder of a video camera, which she used to capture every waking moment with this person she had fallen in love with. They married and Rose became pregnant. This had never happened before to any Gem, but Rose knew what would happen. She decided not to tell Greg, fearing of hurting him or creating any sort of resentment toward the coming baby, which they had both decided to call 'Steven'.
