Rose Quartz, the leader of the rebellion, was one of many rose quartz soldiers. Actually, she was pretty much the same as them all. Though her hair was very curly, it wasn't uncommon for variance in soldiers. But there was more to her than just her big hair, and her nice smile. She was very quiet, and when she did speak it wasn't as rough and crude as the other soldiers. She was almost always calm.
Some might even compare this to a sapphire, but comparing a mass produced soldier from a new diamond was not very... appropriate. Someone probably should've seen this as a sign. Hell, if gems had a little harsher system that looked for this kind of behavior Rose would have been stopped dead in her tracks. Her defective thoughts would have completely been corrected. Her decent into revolution would've stopped. Thank the Diamonds- thank the Rebellion it didn't.
The reason for this? Well, the gem society wasn't as perfect as it had led on. There were all kinds of variables that couldn't be controlled during the process of making gems, and what each gem is exposed to. It was only a matter of time before something like this happened... And let's be glad it did.
