What are the crystal gems and what makes them so important?
Well, in Homeworld gems are assigned their places in the social system by their gem. There's no room for mistakes, or even worse, failure.
The crystal gems are the ones that broke the mold, they knew their individuality and fail to conform. Pearl was, well, just a Pearl, but she was different, striving to become better every day of her life.
Garnet is a fusion, she fell in love, even though the world's view on fusion and love is thrown in the dirt and stepped on, she fell in love.
Amethyst is defected, she may be the last of her kind.
Steven is a half gem half human, the first of his kind.
They saw their own potential. They saw that they were their own people, that they were special, unique, and independent. They rejected their place on Homeworld, because that place was a cookie cutter perfect that didn't allow freedom.
They came to Earth. Where no one was like someone else. Everyone was different, special, unique, and independent.
So they stayed and protected this planet filled with such strange, wonderful, and FLAWED humans.
