I’ve seen people describe Sardonyx as “Pearl, if she actually had self-esteem“ and I thought of her little listing off of traits to Steven this episode:
…the proper words to describe yours truly are: specific, intelligent, accurate, faultless, elegant, controlled, surgical, graceful, and powerful!
I don’t know about you but to me that sure sounds like Pearl’s big wishlist, and an excellent summary of the perfect facade we’ve seen her try to put up constantly (and usually fail at keeping up, sometimes comically, often heartbreakingly). So really, is it any wonder she’s desperate to be Sardonyx as much as she can? And again, I wonder when we’ll see just how the “lost, defective pearl“ part comes into play here.
