Who knows? One thing hinting towards it is that, he never eats anything. Everytime the crystal gems are given food they don't eat it (except Amethyst and Steven). Onion never actually eats. And it seems he doesn't have to. There may be some flaws, because Onion seems like he has to sleep, because he has a bed. But, he was born from his mom, so that means his mom should of died if she was a gem, and half of her would of went inside of Onion. Maybe Onion is a regular kid with no ears, and just is weird.
