So imagine you have a job as a maid and you get assigned to this rich girl. Her parents picked you to kind of keep her in line, she definitely has some anger issues but she's also really sweet and silly when she's not being kept down by her shitty family. Like, they keep locking her up whenever she does anything they don't like and you're like, I just work here, but you do feel for her.
Then one day they finally assign her to be part of the family business and she's really stoked until she sees the environmental impact it has and she tries to get her family to stop and honestly you are falling so hard for this woman. She loves nature and animals and neither of you have any idea how to run anything, like, you're literally just a maid, but you're in charge of this whole huge shebang.
You both try to convince her family to cut back on production but it's a no go and they're pissed that they finally gave her responsibility only for her to immediately cause new problems. Once her family says fuck off to her efforts to preserve the environment she's just like, okay, fuck it, and she dons a disguise to fight them off as a mysterious rebel and she says it was your idea and you think you were probably joking when you said it but she's so happy so you're like, yeah, okay, let's like, destroy your family's interest in this site.
So then you're just like rebels together and you finally confess how you feel and she feels the same and you are so happy. There's a ton of horrible war going on but she sees you as more than a decorative maid. She convinces you to help her fake her own death and you really don't want to but you're so stupid for this woman so you do it. Her family are so fucking pissed that they just fucking nuke the site, but even after her family drops a radioactive bomb that distorts and destroys pretty much all the ambient life you guys are kind of happy anyway, at least you have each other.
Only then she meets this absolutely useless beach bum musician, falls head over heels for him and dumps you really abruptly. Then she dies in childbirth to bear this absolute goober's baby that you promised to raise.
And you still love her and miss her and her kid is a lot like her and that hurts pretty much all the time and that's basically why Pearl in Steven Universe is Like That.
