Their purpose-fend off homeworld gems. Now, Rose is gone. I'm going to tie in a little Garnet in here and say that I think Ruby and Sapphire, or at least one of the two, were also close to Rose, and are trying their best to live up to her memory.

I agree/disagree with the Jasper/Amethyst thing. Yes, I believe Jasper has some deep connection to the Kindergarten, but here are my disagreements. 1.) Jasper wears a uniform. Peridot's is bulkier and more technical, but they more or less match. 2.) Her militant status. IN "Indirect Kiss" Amethyst states "I'm a Gem Warrior, Steven." Not Crystal Gem. Just Gem. I think that Jasper might have been made in another, if not the same Kindergarten as Amethyst. However, due to Amethyst being a "Half-baked runt", she was left behind.

I think most of Amethyst's motives are fueled from resentment. You notice how she's not mentioned to be, or likewise, stated NOT to be in any major Gem battles? I think that she was left behind, and she hates the Gems for it. Because Rose and the others took her in, she fought for them. I think a similar, yet weaker resentment lies for Pearl, maybe because Amethyst might see her as the Gems who abandoned her.

I'm open to any criticizations. On the part about amythist it was stated and pretty much assumed she was not alive/active when many of those battles occured. She was apart of things later on.

Though I agree she is very resentful.

Clothing seems to be something you pick. So if Jasper wears a uniform its an active choice. And Amythist made an active choice not to. We dont know what they are born wearing if they wear anything at all.

The part with Pear, still goes back to how would Jasper know something that deep and personal about her? Like unless she knew pearl personally it makes little sense how your enemy could possibly know this.

(my thoughts on the matter)
