## Biography

### Blue Diamond and Early Life in Era 1

Blue Pearl formed after a shell, delivered to the Blue Diamond Palace by White Diamond was opened. As she formed, she saw her superior, Blue Diamond.   Blue Pearl looked at her for a bit before she looked down at the floor and did a small curtsey.

Blue Diamond, pleased by the curtsey, held out her hand and lowered herself to have her Pearl step onto her hand.   Blue Pearl did so, and Blue Diamond lifted Blue Pearl as she stood up, and told Blue Pearl she would make a fine Pearl to her court.   Blue would show Blue Pearl  the palace she would live with her Diamond at, as well as showing the gem city being built right outside.   Despite being shy and hesitant, Blue Pearl accepted her Diamond.

Later on, Blue Pearl would be taught how to be a Pearl by her Diamond.   After five days, Blue Pearl was ready to begin her job as the Pearl of Blue Diamond.  She would attend the Era 1 Ball two days later, where she would introduce her Diamond and encounter all the other gems that were in her Diamond’s Court at time and would watch the entire ball play out.  After the Era 1 Ball ended, Blue Pearl was left feeling a little pleased about what her future held for her.

In the several months that followed, Blue Pearl had fully adapted to her role as a Diamond’s Pearl gracefully.  During this time, Blue Pearl  would meet and welcome the newly emerged gems who were emerging during the early days of Era, while also being with her Diamond for a majority of the time.

### Colonizations, Attending Parties, and Drawing Passion Begins

Over the next few thousand years, Blue Pearl would be with her Diamond as she colonized planets.   At times, Blue Pearl would set foot onto the planets and see them as the gems in Blue Diamond’s Court did work to colonize them.   She would mainly see colonizations from hologram screen projections she would use.

In addition to witnessing the colonizations, she also attend the countless parties thrown by the Diamond sisters’ youngest sibling, Pink whenever her older sisters would have success in colonizing a planet.   Blue Pearl would find these events a little fun to attend.  However it was during these parties she would see Pink not being her best, with a notable one being when Pink released a bunch of Rainbow Caterpillars in the Diamond Ballroom, culminating in calamity and her being chased by them down numerous corridors with [[Yellow Pearl]].

As time went on, Blue Pearl would soon discover an interesting thing that would start a lifelong passion: drawing.  She discovered drawing when she was writing a report on a hologram screen projection and accidentally made a line.  After she fixed the mistake she began to make shapes on a separate hologram screen projection.  To her surprise, she found that she had a natural talent for it.  So later on, in her free time when work was done for the day in the Blue Diamond Court, Blue Pearl would use her hologram screen pad to make drawings with her finger.   She enjoyed making drawings almost every day.

### Earth Colonization and The Rebellion

A few thousand years later, Blue Pearl would hear the news of the colonization on the planet Earth had began.   And In addition to it beginning its colonization, Pink Diamond would be the main Diamond to colonize the planet.

Blue Pearl, much like her prior colonizes she saw, would see a lot of the colonization process on hologram screen pad.   She would additionally visit the Moon Base when her Diamond came to talk to Pink about Earth.

A thousand years into the colonization, a group of rebels began delaying the colonization progress. As a result, a team of diplomats were sent to Earth to investigate the current crisis.

Blue Pearl accompanied her diamond to a meeting at the Cloud Arena where the meeting would take place.   Where she would witness a Rose Quartz and Pearl attack the Cloud Arena and see the ensuing scuffle in which a Ruby and a Sapphire fused, and she was shocked to see the fusion before they unfused and ran away.

Later, a war would occur.   Blue Pearl would hear a lot about the rebels and the war that was occurring on Earth.   She was absolutely devastated at such a thing occurring.   Eventually things only got worse as Pink Diamond was shattered by Rose Quartz.  This culminated in White, Yellow, and Blue avenging their youngest sister by unleashing a power called, "The Light" which was believed to have annihilated all gems on the planet, with the planet now being believed to be unusable, and nothing more than a wasteland after The Light was unleashed.    Afterwards, Blue Pearl was still devastated after the fact.

### Era 2 Days

After the Era Ball/Pink Diamond’s Funeral, life for Blue Pearl would be melancholy, as she kept hearing her Diamond grieve and cry almost every day because of Pink’s death at the hands of the Rose Quartz.

She continued to draw during this time, finding solace in her art, and she was satisfied with what able to create even in the darkest of times.  It would be this way for over the next five thousand years.

After five millennia, one day in 2017, Blue Pearl accompanied her Diamond to visit Pink Diamond’s abandoned Palanquin, where the horrific crime scene took place and bowed to it.  However she overhead two humans, lurking in the bushes behind them, so she checks out the area, informing her Diamond that she believed they were not alone.  She jumped a little when one of the humans appeared before her suddenly, and she told her Diamond that she has found a native.  After being asked to, Blue Pearl escorted the human to her Diamond, who would end taking him with her.  Blue Pearl would follow her Diamond onto her they head into space to take the human to Pink’s Human Zoo.     Three days later, Blue Pearl and her Diamond where the former continued to mourn for the late Pink Diamond. The two are promptly joined by Yellow Diamond and her Pearl . After Yellow Diamond failed to persuade Blue to shatter the remaining Rose Quartzes and cease her grieving, Yellow Diamond commanded her Pearl to sing for Blue Diamond to comfort her. Yellow and Blue Pearl began to sing a song in which they acted as backing vocalists for Yellow Diamond, who persists in trying to convince her fellow Diamond to move on from their loss.

### Attending the Trial of “Rose Quartz”

Later in 2018, “Rose Quartz” was caught by Aquamarine and Topaz and was put on trial in-front of Yellow and Blue Diamond, in which, Blue Pearl acted as the court illustrator crafting illustrations of the proceedings and reconstructions of Pink Diamond's shattering as told by “Rose”.    During the proceedings, she was briefly affected by Blue Diamond's pathokinetic wave, and was later is shocked by Blue Zircon's allegations, particularly in the question regarding Pink Diamond's Pearl.

Later she witnessed the argument that happened between Blue and Yellow while “Rose” and a human fled.

### Final Days of being a Diamond’s Pearl

Sometime following the trial, she learned Pink Diamond was alive on Earth and was returning to Homeworld.    Later after Pink returned to Homeworld, she escorted “Pink” and her Pearl to Blue Diamond in her Pool Chamber.   While “Pink” upstairs to see Blue Diamond, Blue Pearl welcome “Pink”’s Pearl back,  she later reminded her Diamond of an upcoming appointment.

The following day, as “Pink” proposed the Era 3 Ball, Blue and Yellow Pearl are assigned to help “her” plan the ball.  While planning the ball, when “Pink” asked them about things they enjoy doing, Blue Pearl quietly said that she liked to draw.   She shows some of her drawings to “Pink’s Friends” and Yellow Pearl, with the ladder asking her to draw her from another angle. They were then interrupted by the arrival of Blue Diamond, who she and Yellow Pearl would leave with.   She would later  announce the arrival of her Diamond at the Ball that night.   She would later witness the commotion that happened caused by “Pink” and “her” “pet”.     Little did she know, that things would change later on.

### Era 3 Begins and Early Era 3

However two days later, Blue Pearl learned that “Pink Diamond” who was actually her son, Steven Universe, had overthrown the Great Diamond Authority and all gemkind had been granted its freedom.   She was in shock by the news.  Over the next few weeks Blue Pearl would get used to the new ways of Era 3.

She would later be present for when Steven made the guides for Era 3, where during the time she helped write the news rules for Era 3. When Yellow Pearl mentioned that Pyrope and Demantoid haven't deactivated their Light Prisms, Blue Pearl suggested they send a battalion to take the prisms back, which Steven declined on.

Two years later, she and Yellow Pearl worked on the Diamond's broadcast to Homeworld, but they were told to cut off the broadcast by White Diamond after Steven said he’d be returning home to Earth.  Yellow Pearl snarked that her time was up anyway and Blue Pearl snickered at the comment and ran to end the broadcast.
