Rose was the leader of The Diamonds
Rose was the leader of The Diamonds.
Why? Because as Peridot said, “I won! I’m the natural leader here!” you might say this is because of the rules of the game, but I think otherwise. She didn’t know why the Crystal Gems were praising Pearl at ALL. This is likely because that’s the way Homeworld works. The strongest gem is the ‘alpha dog’ so to speak.
Now, why do I think that Rose was the leader? Rose was, without a doubt, the strongest diamond. You can look more into the Pink Diamond theory but I personally think that it’s a no brainer that Rose is Pink Diamond. She chased all other gems off earth but her own, including all of the other diamonds if she did not kill them.
I do think that Blue Diamond is undoubtedly the Lighthouse Gem and White Diamond is probably the Pyramid Temple Gem, and if this is true, this means Rose fought and defeated 2 out of the other 3 diamonds besides herself.
Another thing is that Yellow Diamond did not come to Earth even when Lapis and Peridot both said they didn’t see Rose. Why wouldn’t she have come? Because she’s afraid. She’s afraid that Rose will poof and she’ll suffer a fate just like the others. Afraid that Rose is hiding somewhere on Earth waiting for her to return so Rose can finish her off.
Rose destroyed the other diamonds. She destroyed two of them and probably severely injured the other. Her strength made her the leader and the superior of all of them. Rose also probably fought The Diamonds one-on-one, with the way she’s fighting Blue in the mural. Also, Yellow has no arms in the mural. I wonder why that is? Could Rose possibly have cut her arms off and she escaped, critically injured and barely escaping being poofed?
