Actually, for a while now, I've been wondering if she's the two gems depicted on the left and the right walls of the mural (from 'Serious Steven'). To be fair, part of my argument came from this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRmt7tpitVE and

It made sense to me since one of the gems had two arms, the other had none, and I could see Rose risking her life if there was a slim chance she could gain an unexpected ally (aka Garnet). That would mean that Garnet was originally their enemy but if Rose's persuasive powers are anything like Steven's then I don't think that's too far fetched. Didn't it seem odd how she was able to open that chamber in Serious Steven? My guess was Garnet kept Steven with her during that episode because she created the chambers in the first place and wanted to use that as a test to see what Steven was capable of and to help him redeem himself after the teacup incident. I could be wrong about that theory but it was the only thing that made sense during that episode. Plus, I'm pretty sure they left those chambers there as a gravestone for the humans who were killed t and as a monument to commerate Rose's victory. Why else would the mural depict Rose defending the humans?

I've also been wondering if maybe the girl featured in the promo for Jailbreak could be one part of Garnet's fusions or maybe a 'family member' (using that term lightly since gems are mostly created). If the girl is part of Garnet's fusion, that would also explain the coloration of the two gems Garnet controls on the temple door in the house. Of course then that might contradict my earlier thought of Garnet being a fusion of the two gems on the mural but gems can change their appearances when their bodies are damaged so you never know if that might make a difference or not.

I know there was an earlier theory regarding Rose being preserved by Garnet's fusion but I'm pretty sure that's not true. I'm 100% positive that the statue outside Steven's house is what the gems (including Rose Quartz) looks like once they're all fused together and Alexandrite was missing Rose's curly hair.
