This was something along the lines of what I was thinking. She mentions "I never believed in this place" which suggested to me the possibility that she was a half-hearted early Crystal Gem at one point who was also a homeworld loyalist, and just like her screentime so far, wanted to turn tail the moment it got violent.

In which case, she's more of a PoW because of treason, on both sides.
