My first theory is that Pearl used to belong to WD but was later given to PD as gift. This explains why she looks like WD but has what looks like PDs insignia on her space suit.

I'm no expert in the matter, but she does act like someone who has suffered from years of domestic abuse in the past. Shes constantly paniking over small thing, and in both "Secret Team" and "Cry for Help" she appears to be scared of getting in trouble with Garnet (the head of the household), almost like she's afraid Garnet is literaly going to beat the crap out of her.

PD on the other hand may not have been abusive (assumeing she is the "nice one" of the Diamonds), but she could have patronized Pearl in the past (treating her like a baby and such). This could be why she feels the need to prove herself all the time. This could also be why she treats Steven the way she does.

Rose, however treated Pearl as an equal, which is why she joined her and was willing to risk everthing for her, including her own life.
