Pink Pearl

Pink Pearl's History

Pink Pearl is a Homeworld Gem who was Pink Diamond's original Pearl before being taken from her and placed under the ownership of White Diamond, who used her powers to take control of Pink Pearl remotely, rendering her devoid of color (referred to as White Pearl outside of the series). She first appeared in "Legs From Here to Homeworld". As White Diamond's only known and final Pearl, she was used as a remote camera of sorts, being a container of White's power. It is presumed she had been using her this way for thousands of years. Following White Diamond's defeat, she woke up in Era 3 from late Era 1. She immediately ceased to be White's Pearl, just as Era 3 truly began.

In "Volleyball", she was given the nickname "Volleyball" to distinguish her from Pearl of the Crystal Gems. After understanding and confronting her repressed trauma associated with White and Pink through Pearl and fusing with her, has been shown to now be living a new free life on Earth, and is enrolled at Little Homeschool and lives in Little Homeworld.

According to Steven's dream in "Together Alone", Pink Pearl served Pink Diamond thousands of years prior to Pink Diamond's colonization of the Earth. The crack on her left eye was caused after Pink Diamond was very upset with the outcome and answer of her asking White Diamond to give her a colony, though the injury happened as she was standing near her when she screamed. As foreshadowed in "Change Your Mind", she was later taken away from Pink Diamond by White Diamond, in response to Pink's behavior, and eventually replaced by another Pearl, likely due to the physical and psychological damage caused to her first. For the next 8,000 years, she was under White Diamond's control.
