People who don't care about you

And still, it takes you ages to see that no one's there

See that no one's there

See that no one's there

Everyone's gone on without you . . ."

-pink is created from white. she is the smallest and youngest diamond

-acts as a court jester, provides the other diamonds with fun and levity

-is fawned over, given special gifts and generally spoiled

-is otherwise confined to her room, alone, purposeless

-begins to bond with her pearl and the pebbles

-learns what the other diamonds do, wants to do the same

-asks for more responsibility, is either laughed at or ignored

-acts out by messing with the other diamonds' work, trying to make her own creatures, etc

-gets punished by being totally isolated in a small, dark room, sometimes for thousands of years, for "acting out"

-starts to feel unloved, ignored, trivialized

-begins venting her frustrations with destructive tantrums, continuing to demand recognition

-gets denied by yellow and blue over and over

-Jungle Moon

-goes to white directly, denied again

-damages her pearl irrepairably in her rage

-filled with regret and horror at her actions, decides to conceal her emotions now

-given spinel and the garden as bribery to behave

-after some time spent behaving, provided with a small colony of her own and a new pearl, being told by white: "dont break this one."

-pink barely associates with her new pearl if she can help it

-hates the colony, hates spinel, hates the garden: it all represents her biggest regrets and flaws

-pearl suggests visiting the colony disguised as a rose quartz

-pinks spark is lit. she sees beauty, love, freedom, things she thought she could never have

-she cant destroy this innocent, pure thing

-not again

-she and pearl begin to organize an elaborate rebellion

-at some point before or during this, pink abandons spinel, most likely not thinking of the consequences

-during this time also meets bismuth, is forged her sword

-fakes pink diamond's death, becomes rose quartz

-meets garnet

-starts the crystal gems

-at some point bubbles bismuth, unwilling to confront her about the breaking point

-the planet is blasted, and garnet, pearl, and rose are the only survivors

-spends the next few thousand-odd years on earth, leading a new life, meeting amethyst, helping humans, fighting corrupted gems, having flings with human men

-lion is revived, bismuth is stored in his mane

-rose meets greg and is taught what love and respect really mean

-rose gives her life to become half of steven, knowing she could never truly be a human being and change her ways, but still wanting to spread love and faith and hoping, one day, things will work out, even if without her
