Meet Novaculite, the only one of her Gem type. Nova is the most powerful Gem, second only to the Diamonds themselves. She was one of the first Gems to be created after White Diamond, and was granted authority and power by White as long as she stayed loyal and helped grow their empire. After a few millennium, Yellow and Blue Diamond were created, further expanding their authority across the galaxy. Novaculite, as Homeworld's premier weapons-maker and head of technological advances, helped them to spread even further, even expanding their power past multiple star systems. Eventually, Pink Diamond was created, the smallest of the Diamonds.
After centuries of boredom and monotony, Nova decided she needed to observe her court from within, but in disguise. Whenever she has a moment to spare, Novaculite shape shifts into a Pearl, going unnoticed as she moves among her Gems and learns about how they all live. When Pink Diamond gets her own colony after eons of begging, Nova finds herself captivated by the pleas of the Crystal Gems, becoming inspired by their message. Gems wanting to be more than what they were made to do? That's right up Nova's alley.
As Novaculite, she is against the war, as it threatens her authority. But as Pearl... Well, that's a different story.
