I used to think Pearl was Pink Diamond's Pearl. Pearls are made to be pretty, it seems logical they can change color while reforming. But, in Bismuth, they have this exchange and it looks like a routine between them:

<p>Bismuth: Hey, did somebody lose a Pearl? Who do you belong to?
</p><p>Pearl: Nobody!

So it seems Pearl was freed before Bismuth get bubbled. And I'm pretty sure Bismuth was bubbled before Pink Diamond was shattered, because shattering the Diamonds seems to be the point of her discord with Rose Quartz. So I think she belonged to some other Gem.

<p>Well, correct. All dialogue about Pearl's origin's and other Pearls on homeworld allude to them being subserviant... well, servants. That's why Pearl has so many OCD tendencies. She made made to serve, and belong to someone, but Rose was the first person she CHOSE to belong to, and that's why she mattered so much to her. Rose gave her a choice. Rose was likely Pink Diamonds, and perhaps while Rose was fighting Pink Diamond, Pearl was fighting Pink Pearl. I think that'd be an awesome split-screen, two-way battle to depict, wtih Rose arguing with PD about imperalization and Gem's freedom, and Pink Pearl arguing with Pearl about the purpose of a Pearl. I can see the Crewniverse doing something just like that.
