I recall awhile ago you said that earth,the crystals gems and pink diamond weren't gonna be a main focus in the harvester which is fine
But do yoy plan to potential show of your own version of pink diamond even if she never appears in the story, if only for reference and comparison to the other diamonds designs?
(No rush or pressure im just genuinely curious what she looks like in this au)
[It feels so good to get to interact with you guys again you have NO idea]
YES, it still stands that in the rewrite, Earth and the Crystal Gems [Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven] will NOT be a main focus of the story. There may be nods here and there [and maybe even... multiple chapters that take place on Earth <v<] but 99% of the story takes place on/focuses on Homeworld and its surrounding colony planets.
Pink actually will have a little more focus than she did in TH Legacy, in flashback form! Without spoiling anything, Pink's old role in the Diamond Authority has MUCH more weight on how and why White, Blue, and Yellow are the way they are in modern-day TH. Her role in the early days, her beliefs, and her separation during the Great Gem War all have ripples that are still being felt in the Authority to this day.
She's about 50% the same as SU Pink Diamond, with a few notable differences that we can't detail here without spoilers, but we can tell you what's similar!
Same voice, same general palette, plant-related powers, curious to a fault, fun-loving, a little bit ditzy, a hopeless romantic/idealist, a bit of a temper [less so than SU Pink], and an affection for small, cute things like humans or micro gems.
This ask inspired us to revamp pink's design with some concept art [old versions for reference!], so we hope you enjoy these concepts, anon! Her design is likely to change once we finally get around to writing the flashbacks, but we can't foresee it going TOO crazily different. We're pretty sold on her sakura motif, due to its cultural significance in Japan. Sakura blossoms [or cherry blossoms] are connected to themes of renewal, change, noble and elegant fleeting beauty, nature, and the delicacy of life itself. Pink was only truly part of the authority for a relatively short time, was in charge of pushing nature research forward [alongside White], and tried to bring significant change to the Diamond Authority... which wasn't received well.
VT will tweak her face and model later, but this is her current design!
