I don't know about 'defective' but I think the lost has something to do with Rose. You see, Rose was basically Pearl's goddess before she became half of Steven, yes? 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.
