[@Loony] Aw I missed getting to talk with the little loon!  See you later anyhow, best wishes and all that.

So yeah, on the subject of gem talk I've been thinking of compiling a list of arguments for and against Rose being Pink Diamond.  I'm gonna put it under a hider because of potential spoilers/everybody probably doesn't want to read it but here we go anyway!

[hider=Reasons she might be]

*She's pink, apparently held some position of high authority, and it's been strongly implied that there is a pink diamond

*She may have had a Pearl assigned to her, something only Diamonds have had so far

[/hider]

[hider=Reasons she might not be]

*Every diamond we've seen so far has had a gem that was shaped like... a diamond.  Rose's gem clearly isn't

*Even Jasper referred to her (well, Steven, but her inability to recognize him as a separate being only reinforces this point) as "Rose," something she most likely wouldn't do if she had originally been known Pink Diamond

*Rose Quartz' appearance more closely resembles what we know of Quartz gems.  She is tall and wide as we know Quartz gems to be, but not extremely tall like the Diamonds we've seen

*She is implied to be a military gem, which is consistent with what she would be if she really were a Quartz

[/hider]

So yeah, if you can't tell I'm pretty dubious about Rose being Pink Diamond.  Does anyone else have anything to add?
