So with the recent episodes is it safe to say that Rose was a Diamond or at least way up in the command chain? The control panel on the moon has 4 diamonds: Blue, Yellow, White and Pink. Blue and Yellow we know about, White not (but I would argue it’s the leader of all Gems since white is kinda your go-to cliché color with Diamonds) but Pink? Rose was always bigger than other Gems, even some fusions, and she was the leader type.

So maybe she rebelled against the other Diamonds. Maybe she kept it a secret who she was or the other Gems don’t want to tell Steven yet, because it would make Steven a Diamond too.

Steven also can heal other Gems, an ability inherited from his mother, and it’s a powerful one we haven’t seen with other Gems yet. Wouldn’t the healing of cracked Gems be something only a leader would be able to do? Steven can also turn on any machinery with his hand. Granted, Peridot could use the computer, but only after Steven activated it.

Also, I knew Peridot would become a Crystal Gem eventually, the ending to that episode was really awesome
