Talk:White Diamond/@comment-7207552-20180724222725

Considering that she's said to have stayed on Homeworld for eons, which, whether those eons be literal or metaphorical, is quite a long time, one has to wonder how long White Diamond has stayed aboard her ship. As many have mentioned, Steven's legs glow while he's in his/Pink Diamond's ship. Maybe White's whole body glowing is a sign of how long she has been in hers.

Vampirwitch had mentioned that with how brightly she's glowing, her gemstone could be damaged without anyone else being aware of it. For a being as obsessed with perfection as a Diamond, a flaw like that would be completely unacceptable. If she couldn't repair it, she might very well go to some rather drastic measures to hide it, such as lying about its existence to others (and herself), and staying in her ship for millenia on end. Only those most closely in contact with her would ever notice. White Diamond being so flawed could also explain White Pearl's left eye, or lack thereof; as a Gem's physical form is both modifiable and regenerable, and W!Pearl's gemstone is undamaged, one can only conclude that she appears that way by choice; she chooses to look cracked, or rather, chooses against looking more perfect than her Diamond.

Of course, that brings up another thought: with how she and White Diamond share the same voice actress, she might not be the one choosing at all.
