I believe that Rose's consciousness within her gemstone is acting under the same principle that Lapis Lazuli had with the mirror. That is, the actual Rose, her consciousness and essence, is locked away within her gemstone in order to allow Steven to exist. We know from Rose's Scabbard that Pearl, who claims to know all of Rose's secrets, didn't know about Lion before his initial appearance, exclaiming "Rose never had a lion." So I think Lion is an extension of Rose's consciousness being projected from the Rose Quartz gem. Lion isn't Rose or a separate entity, but merely on the same level as Lapis' mirror. A device used by gems locked away within their gemstone to communicate with the outside world.

This is completely my opinion as based on the evidence provided from the episodes aired thus far. Feel free to agree or disagree with me. If you disagree, I would love to know why, perhaps I have overlooked or missed something in my analysis of the situation. If that's the case, Lion would be somewhat like Holo-Pearl. He's not. Rose's Scabbard even tries to tell us this by the constant "Rose had her secrets". If Lion wasn't in the ep., the theme wouldn't have been as relevant. I'm not quite comprehending how the whole "Rose had her secrets." quote makes my theory debunked? Actually, the connection to Holo-Pearl is a much analogy than Lapis' mirror. If Lion was a holo, that could explain how he just appears whenever Steven needs him most. Yeah, but holo's have blank eyes and aren't physical. Wait, I just remembered that Lion siometimes gets blank, glowing eyes. Rose could have also been much better at creating Holo's than Pearl is. After all, Holo-Pearl is our only frame of reference at this time and Holo's could possibly have the ability to possess much higher intelligence should it be needed.
