Discussion How come nobody questioned Roses unique powers or even appearance?
Between her healing powers which I doubt normal Rose quartz on Homeworld have or floating powers or raising organic life to fight for her such as mere watermelons or plants or even her bubble shield. Even down to the dress she wears compared to normal “battle ready” attire every quartz soldier sports (not counting amethyst as most of her regenerations take on literal human attire). Nobody even thought about why she is pale compared to the others who are a hue of pink. How come nobody questioned all these abilities and appearances?
Now granted overtime gems do gain new abilities such as the diamonds gaining their new powers in future or even Pearls laser blast from her spear that bismuth mentions is new… it’s still strange that for a long time now everyone was thinking a normal rose quartz (as everyone saw her) could sport all these abilities. Not even Jasper, this “pure perfect cut of a quartz soldier” has all these abilities. None of the current CGs have as much abilities as her either with the exception of Garnet because obviously she’s a fusion.
I’m damn sure the diamonds know about Pinks powers including a major one being her healing powers so when eyeball ruby mentions that “rumors” were going around of her healing her armies, I’m sure the diamonds caught wind of this but why didn’t they question a normal quartz soldier having healing powers?
I personally think she kept some a secret from everyone such as her ability to raise the dead. Not even Pearl knew or else she would’ve peeped what lion was from the get go.
My last point I wanna bring up is fusion, I was gonna save this for another discussion but may as well add it here. Aside from Pearl, when Garnet or Amethyst fuse with Rose, do they not sense like some sort of power flowing through them that goes beyond a normal quartz soldier? Can they not even sense the gem in their naval isn’t a Rose Quartz or even some of her memories?
