Remember Holo-Pearl? Well, look at her design for a moment. Something interests me... on Pearl's old outfit, the star that each Crystal Gem has somewhere in their outfit is a pretty small star on her chest. But on Holo-Pearl's outfit, this star is a diamond. At first I thought this was just a design choice, but looking back from what we know now, it could either be a coincidence, or it could be subtle foreshadowing...

Seeing the designs of two new Gems, Lapis and Peridot, and how they aren't Crystal Gems (In fact, Lapis seems to hate them) is certianly interesting. Their designs are diamond based, no stars to be seen. It is clear they and the Crystal Gems seem to be in different groups. In Warp Tour

SPOILERS!

When Garnet smashed the Gem Hole World Warp after Peridor retreats, she says "They aren't coming back", most likely referring to a group. And Pearl says "I can't do this again!", which is strange, like some history was had. I have heard theories that the Crystal Gems are outlaws, and what if this is true? The Gems can clearly change their outfits. What if they escaped from this diamond group, went to Earth, and changed their outfits for the Crystal Gem diamond motif? But one thing didn't change? That thing is Holo-Pearl. Take a close look at Holo-Pearl's design. The only thing making Pearl's old outfit Crystal Gem oriented was that one tiny star on her chest. And on Holo-Pearl, that star is instead a diamond. I know I have said that already, but comparing to Peridot and Lapis' outfits, it could be coincidence, or intnetional! I bet that since Holo-Pearl is a part of Pearl's gem, it couldn't be changed. Before the Gems possibly retreated and became the Crystal Gems, they would have to be part of the proposed diamond group, therefor Holo-Pearl having the diamond based outfit.

That is just one thing I noticed. I don't know if the Crystal Gems are really outlaws or anything, but it's certainly interesting...
