It could be possible that it is something Rose simply created with her gem that lived on due to Steven having the Rose Quartz gem. Then again, this would all be speculation until we actually find out. I don't quite particularly agree that Lion is Rose, but I feel there is something deeper than that theory. well, if have connection to rose, could be genderless

also, all the crystal gems (without steven) are "female" for having female appearence and voice. female pronun. maybe lion pronun is male. What does a connection to Rose have to do with Lion's gender? It really doesn't add much other than speculation. Lion can't be Rose because Rose part of steven. The gem that makes her physical form is part of Steven. Lion is not a gem. Visibly there is no signs of any gem on Lion.

As for the connections, we know he is related to Rose, Amethyst and Pearl see the connection. But Rose? No Lion isn't Rose. The significance of Lion is clearly much bigger than Rose being Lion. I still say that Lion is connected to Steven/Rose in a much greater way. He clearly exists with a purpose, and is obviously one of Rose's secrets. We can't say that he is Rose because there isn't enough evidence to back that up.
