I also want to comment on how the love between Pink/Rose and Pearl appeared to be genuine. Sure, Pearl wanting to make her Diamond happy may have been a part of her "programming" but it was Pearl who made Pink realize that she did not have to be what she thought she was supposed to be, and Pink/Rose in return accepted Pearl (who thought she should be replaced because of how different and free thinking she was) for who she is and not what she was made to be. Pink/Rose may have not had the specific kind of love that Pearl had, but they nonetheless loved each other. So I don't think Pink manipulated her; remeber, in the Rose's Scabbard flashback, she told Pearl she did not have to fight with her.
