During "Rose's Scabbard", Pearl repeated multiple times that Rose never had a lion. It seems like Rose creates a lot of different items and creatures, even though her main weapon is a shield. She's created light canons, an armory, a room that creates desires (like the tiny floating whale), and many other things. She even brought plants to life and used them for battle. I wouldn't be surprised if she created a totem (Lion) to hold her essence when Steven is born/formed. After all, Rose said "We can't both exist. I'm going to become half of you". Where did the other half go? I'm wondering if the situation is similar to Garnet's situation (from "Jailbreak"). Garnet can't exist if Ruby and Sapphire exist. Ruby and Sapphire can't exist if Garnet exists. Garnet even hinted (in "Alone Together") that "You are not one person and you are not two" when Steven and Connie fused to create Steveonnie. I'm wondering if this is true for Steven and Lion. When they exist, Rose doesn't. When Rose exists, Steven and Lion don't. Might also work in another way too, where if Rose comes back, then Lion holds onto what remains of Steven until Rose 'leaves'. Just a guess though. I can't believe how times I've said this, Rose didn't split in half and half of her isn't floating around somewhere It's just a theory. It could be true. It could also not be. I'm just basing this off of what I've seen so far and mostly because Pearl seemed so sure that Rose never had a Lion. Its true she could have kept Pearl in the dark but something about what she said seemed like a hint from the writers. Again. Its just a theory though.
