I wouldn't expect a single objective flashback sequence to cover Pink's history, and of course she's not around anymore to burst out with a long coming-clean confession. But we're getting more and more pieces of information that I'd take as factually accurate.
Rachel Dolezal isn't effective enough to be a Rose-analogue. But the Founding Fathers, definitely. Who better to mount a successful rebellion against the rich white landowning colonizers than a disgruntled subset of rich white landholding colonizers?
Pearl's backstory and composition are all kinds of brilliant.
I'm betting she's not free of the geas, but she's been trying to talk around it for a while. They should be able to have clear, effective conversations about it now that Steven knows what she's talking around -- "oh, you mean X, right?" "[hands-over-mouth nod]"
The mass of bubbled Rose Quartzes were already known collateral damage, even assuming our Rose was one of them. At least they're conveniently on the same outpost as the Zoomans, so a single mission could go break them all out....
What do you mean by crystal animals? There's all the corrupted Gems, which for once I don't think are Rose's responsibility at all -- that's entirely on the other Diamonds. Lion is a whole different thing, an ordinary Earth lifeform infused with magic. Steven himself has made a bunch of unintentional independent entities, from the Watermelon Island civilization to the Pumpkin-dog, but as far as I can remember Lion is the only one we've seen from Rose's era.
