“I think my mom used Lion to carry her things around, like a living bag.”
“[Pearls are] for standing around, and looking nice, and holding your stuff for you.”
Possibility: Rose created Lion to fill the gap left when she told Pearl to be her own gem, to stop serving her, to live her own life. He was kept a secret because if Pearl knew Rose still needed help, she’d insist on providing that help herself.
So she evacuated from Pearl all of the things of hers she’d been carrying, claiming she could take care of it herself, but having that much in her gem stressed her out, tired her, so she made Lion to do it, and kept telling Pearl she was fine. Because she was. She had Lion.

Thank you Rebecca sugar for teaching young kids about healthy relationships
So I’ve noticed that pearl tends to do this a lot with garnet, which I had thought about, but didn’t pay any mind to.
With the episode Back to the Barn, it was revealed that Pearls are mass produced “accesories” whose only purpose is to look pretty (and whatever their master may want idk).
So I’m thinking this is a leftover habit from when she did serve the purpose of a Pearl.
I love when Wilt stands up for himself ♥♥♥
