she is the first diamond, and gems–diamonds included–are made. then what the hell made her? someone? no one? would she even be a gem?
“she’s not like us. she isn’t even like them!” a direct confirmation. she isn’t like gems, and she isn’t like the diamonds, then what IS she like?
she’s a literal celestial light and/or pure burning energy–gems have concentrated physical forms, and yes, they are made of light–but it’s light that is contained and regulated. white diamond seems like she is out of control, almost like there’s too much of her for any other being to handle–and the scope of her power seems as if, either accidentally or purposefully, it’s literally torn homeworld apart.
again, she isn’t like a gem, and gems come from the ground–diamonds too. she probably didn’t emerge from a planet like every other gem. where else could she have come from? ah yes, space.
