I've done lots of speculating and theorizing to figure out the full history of Pearl, and I think I finally figured it out. I hope someone actually listens to this post (unlike all the other posts I have made), so prepare to either have your mind blown, or just go meh because you thought all of this was really obvious.

Problems of the Past

______________________________

Meeting Rose Quartz:

Pearl, by many theories, is a slave of White Diamond. If you want to learn about that theory, ask someone else because I don't know too much about the evidence. I think it has something to do with the hyroglyphics in the Serious Steven Temple, and Pearl's behavior (which i will be mentioning a lot in this episode). Pearl starts off as a servant for White Diamond until going to a meeting with the diamonds: Yellow Diamond (Name TBA), Blue Diamond (Name TBA), White Diamond (Name TBA), and Pink Diamond (Rose). Rose announces that she does not think the Earth invasion is right. The diamonds get angry and declare war against Rose. Rose sees White Diamond starts bossing Pearl around saying "Prepare the army," or something like that, and she takes Pearl away from the diamonds to guide her.

The War:

Pearl has really only known how to take orders, and was never really independent, so she dedicated her life to Rose completely. She fought for her no matter what the cost. This eventualy developed into complete defence and treating herself as nothing wether Rose liked it or not. Some time during the war, she met Garnet and saw how her two halfs were dedicated to eachother and in love as a permanent fusion, and always defended eachother, and Pearl wanted that, so she fell in love with Rose in hopes that she would some day end up like Garnet, which would explain her desire to fuse in We Need to Talk.

Before Steven:

By now, Pearl was completely in love with Rose, and she didn't want anyone to get in the way of her and Rose. She tried to fuse with Rose as often as she could. When Greg came by, she took him as a threat, which is why she tried to rush him out of the temple as fast as she could in Story for Steven. When Greg decided to stay with her, she was outraged, so she did everything she could to break Rose and Greg up so she could have Rose to herself. When Rose revealed she was going to have a child, Pearl was heartbroken. She took everything out on Greg, and didn't forgive him for a very long time, which explains her disliking of Greg in the present.

Flaws of the Present

______________________________

Baby to Pilot:

After Rose died and Steven was born, Pearl went through extreme depression. She ignored and despised Steven for years, which explains how she makes fun of and mostly ignores Steven in the pilot. She didn't like Steven because he was a piece of Greg, and thought he couldn't be any good. Somewhere along the line though, Garnet probably slapped some sense into her and helped her realize that he was also a piece of Rose. From then on, she defended Steven and cared for him like a mother.

Guarding the Egg:

From Gem Glow to Mirror Gem, Pearl disaproved of Steven going on most missions. She tried to talk Garnet out of letting Steven go on missions, and tried to keep him out of any danger. She tried giving him emotional support when he made mistakes, and tried to help him "hatch." Around Mirror Gem and Ocean Gem though, she must have realized he was becoming more of a gem because of his powers and wisdom.

Learning to Fly:

Pearl was still very defensive of Steven, but she gave him more freedom. She believed in him more, and she gave him more freedom. However, at the same time, she remembered Rose, and remembered how amazing she was. She just wanted her back, and became dilusional, thinking that Steven was Rose. When she put herself back in reality, she realized Rose was gone and fell slowly into depression. She tried to make Steven like Rose, and got Connie caught up into the mess. She became a complete wreck.

Hopes for the Future

I'm letting you decide the future. What do you think will happen, and how? Will she stay this way? Will she reach closure? You say what happens, and see if that's the case.
