Could Rose Quartz be the Lion who is now the pet/ friend of Steven?

Evidence:

1. Steven's Shield

When Steven first summons his shield, Pearl is quite surprised. However, she doesn't even hint at Rose having the same shield for her power. Neither did Garnet or Amythest.

2. Lion's Color

Lion is the same color as Steven's gem, a.k.a, Rose's gem.

3. Lion's Sword

Lion has a mgical sword, which could be Rose's. Since Rose's weapon is never mentioned or shown, it's completely possible that the sword is Rose's! And the other gyms weren't there when the sword was summoned, so they wouldn't mention if it was Rose's!

4. Lion Didn't Attack Steven

Even though Lion is magic and smart, he didn't pounce. In fact, wouldn't those two factor's make it easier to kill Steven? When was Lion tamed? Plus, Lion was in the desert, a place where food is usually scarace. And why did Lion eat that magic lizard instead of Steven?

5. Reincarnation

The world of Steven Universe is full of magic, it's possible that Rose was reincarnated into Lion.

6. MAGIC

Lion is magic, where could he've gotten his magic? I don't know, the spirit of the deceased Rose Quartz perhaps?

7. Protection

Lion Protects Steven like a mother, as seen in "Steven's Lion" and "Monster Buddies". In Steven's Lion, Lion protects Steven from the sand pillow. In Monster Buddies, Lion is lined up with the crystal gems, growling at the Centipeetle Mother.

8. Secret Mission

If Rose was recreated into Lion, she would still want to protect the world. Perhaps it went on it's own mission in the desert to make sure that it's a safe place.

9. Lion's Mane

Lion has a lot of items which obviously belonged to rose Quartz. Why would he have the items unless he was Rose?

If you still don't think that Lion is Rose, please present counter arguements.
