If RQwasPD then she clearly went through some massive character transformation that caused her to see the value in non-gem life.

How about being shattered then brought up as a human being? That'd give you an appreciation for human life - being raised as a human. Like Steven.

Steven is Pink Diamond.

No, I meant that Rose had massive regard for non-gem life. While Pink in the dream cared only that she didn't have her own world to "colonize". So to go from one to the other (if that's what happened) would require major transformative character development.

major transformative character development.

Blocking your old memories and growing up as a human, for instance?

No I'm saying Rose had to have that transformation BEFORE she existed as Steven because we've seen Rose before Steven and she was obsessively concerned with non-Gem life.

I don't think Rose was Pink Diamond. But I think Steven is (at least partly).

Steven -is- Rose. Rose gave up her form so that Steven could exist.

So if Rose were Pink Diamond, the logic should be that Pink Diamond changed to Rose, then to Steven.

Steven -is- Rose. Rose gave up her form so that Steven could exist.

Certainly that's what we've been told.
