What do other Pearls think of our Pearl?

It's hard to know how many other Pearls even know about Pearl. In "The Answer", we see that Rose and Pearl can insert themselves directly into a Diamond's court, so a few Pearls would have seen her, and maybe be impressed. The Pearl who is Blue Diamond's servant might see our Pearl and think, "Wow! She was fantastic! I wonder if I could be like her!" But, we don't have any information about that.

Based on Pearl's devotion to Rose, even if other Pearls were impressed, they would probably still stick with their mistresses and nothing would come of it.

Or. . .

Maybe they'd be so impressed that they would defect en masse and become the core of Rose's rebel army. We don't yet know enough to guess.

I think a lot of this will come down to how exactly the use of the word defective applies to our Pearl.

There is still a ton of fan debate over whether there is something actually wrong with her, her gem or if her defectiveness lies in her lack of subservience or the presence of her agency?

Could be something that was branded on her post-Rebellion as a way of keeping other Pearls in-line, in which case our Pearl could be hated for making a bad situation worse or otherwise shunned as a pariah, an example of what not to be?

Depends, some may see her as inspiration, others a traitor, its a matter of where loyalty lies.

Update to this post: In contrast to Blue Diamond's Pearl, seeming as though she wanted to speak out once the rebels were mentioned, Yellow Diamond's Pearl seemed harsher. It was CLEAR she allied herself with her diamond and reveled in the misery of other Gems.

Now, mind you, this Pearl may not have been around during the Rebellion but perhaps this means that SOME Pearls admired ours while others saw her as a nuisance, messing with the status quo. Just like many oppressed groups, there are some who yearn for progress and admire those who fight for it while there are others who hate those who try to change things. They've grown to accept their oppression and wouldn't have it any other way.

We recently got to see multiple Rubies. I hope we eventually see multiples Pearls (and a proper Amethyst, for that matter. Jasper-like, perhaps?)

I assume Pearl is assumed to be defective because she's aggressive and engages in combat, and not a submissive domestic servant. Though there's still a need in her to look up to someone more powerful.

While Amethyst is "an over-cooked runt", physically defective, which I guess was foreshadowed by her slightly cleft lip, a birth defect in humans.
