I'm coming down on the side of Lion is Rose's devolved/corrupted form. Like other gems turned into centipedes and various bugs, when Rose 'gave up her physical form' she actually turned into Lion.

Question if I am right is: Is there a way to turn Lion back into Rose Quartz and have her and Steven exist at the same time? You kinda killed your own theory there mate. That can't be her"devolved/corrupted" form because:

1. That would require Lion having Roses' Rose Quartz gem (something that ONLY STEVEN HAS).

2. Lion is not corrupted because that requires a gem (Roses to bemore specific) to be corrupted and he'd be hostile towards the Crystal Gems.

3. She can't give up her physical form and then have a physical form as another creature y'know. That kinda defeats tthe purpose of giving up your physical form.

To answer your question: No, I don't think so because:

1. Lion probably isn't Rose.

2. (Going with the assumption that Lion is Rose) That would require her Rose Quartz gem, something that Steven has and probably needs to survive. Hence why they 'can't both exist'. That being said, you know Lion, though not Rose, might hold the other half of Rose. Rose did say she would become half of Steven and the other half is simply not talked about. Its possible that she left that other half with Lion.
