I think Lion was either created or intructed to train Steven and help him develop his powers   because she knew the other Gems would be too over-protective to bring him on missions until he has developed his powers. If you looks back to 'Lion 2: The Movie' you'll notice how Lion only reacted to Steven when he said   "I'm not trained very well either" and instantly took him to a Rose Quartz-powered training cave. I hardly think that's a coincidence.
