So, I’ve been doing some thinking about Steven universe, and one particular scene has been bugging me a month or two now; well, two. 1) The “I’m Just a Comet” song that Greg sings

2) His sudden nervousness and breakdown in the van in ‘The Return”.

Greg becomes Unusually defensive about the gem wars. He says an awful lot of things, but then insists he was not there; at the same time, he is sweating, near stuttering, and having a melt down. He was clearly there in some way shape or form. This means Greg is very possibly a gem.

Now, for the song that’s been bugging me...he brings up a lot of specific stuff about space and comets, so I did a little digging and learned about Forsterite...It’s a variety of Peridot and is often found in the gases of -guess what?- Comets and meteorites. Forsterite reacts to quartz   to form Enstatite, which is also found among meteors,comets, Evolved stars, and Nebulae.

In conclusion, I believe Greg is Forsterite, a small, seemingly insignificant gem (which is why he always looks for approval from the other gems), from a passing comet.

Other theories: He might always be sunburned because he chose that form with some sense of humour on his half, you know, flying through solar winds and all.

...It is possible Greg is Enstantite, but I feel the show would pick that as a fusion of sorts between Greg/Steven or Greg/Rose.

Oh, also, people keep saying Steven will be the next to ‘die’, but what if Greg is...?

Just something for you guys to think about. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forsterite
