What I think is that while gems have a caste system, there's like a head person, like while the social rank says pearls are slaves; its a social ranking of Quartz. Because somehow all the gems knew of Rose quartz, how else do you amass an army overnight, etc.

I think rose was a high ranking Quartz. Like how the military have a thousand people in charge, the Quartz have it like that to maintain order. Rose was probably a general or something like that. Because she was so high ranking, of course she got a Pearl.

And we know that Rose was an outlier. She actually cared for the species of another world and actually exhibited compassion. Rose saw that it was wrong to treat Pearl like a slave so she gave her kindness and respect and taught her to be a real being.

Pearl says she needs a leader to follow because she comes from a world where she is submissive. Rose taught her to fight and when the time came rose wanted Pearl to go and be on her own. but Pearl never did. She felt such strong respect gratitude and close feelings towards rose that they either developed to romantic feelings or Pearl misinterpreted them as such.

Jasper was just a veteran of the war. Fighting seems to be a norm on Homeworld and Jasper fighting a bloody conflict would just be the equivelant to going to work at an office. She probably became a bodyguard afterwards considering as how she escorted peridot. A bodyguard is no big deal and not really high ranking so she couldn't own her own Pearl.

And yes, Jasper is a Quartz. She has similar design to a Quartz (huge loyal broad shouldered and intimidating) and abilities. She fought as a soldier. The crystal gems were composed of outcasts (garnet was denied the right to exist as a fusion, Pearl was defective, rose was an outlier) and the Homeworld would of course fill their army with Quartz soldiers because it gave them advantages and kept to the caste system. Jasper was one such Quartz. Plus yes Jasper is a type of Quartz if you look up its mineralogy.
