You know in "Familiar" when Pearl told Steven to "stop, you're going to break" Yellow Pearl? Well, what if she meant that literally? What if that's how PP got that scar/crack on her face? Trying to follow an impossible order--probably, knowing Pink Diamond, to not follow her orders. Just like in "Open Book" when Steven told the cloud Connie to not just do what he wanted. Wouldn't that make sense? Pink Pearl might have gone crazy, like Cloud Connie, and attacked Pink Diamond, forcing White to mind control her to save Pink. Also, in "Open Book," Steven told "Connie" to not follow his orders, which led to the creation of a "Connie" with one eye, like White Pearl. And, in "Change Your Mind," Yellow Diamond said a Gem could "crack under all that pressure." That could be literal too. Judging from almost any episode with Peridot in it, Gems don't use or understand sayings like that. In Pink Pearl's case, the "pressure" could be wanting/having to follow Pink's orders, but in order to continue following them, she has to not follow the order to not follow orders. A paradox like this, knowing the Homeworld pearls, would definitely drive someone crazy. Tell me what you think of this theory!
