UU means unsympathetic for different reasons than intended. She was supposed to be in the wrong for this. And Recap doesn't allow spoiler markup or anything requiring it.


* HarsherInHindsight: We find out later in the season that Pearl was essentially a slave and a pretty bauble to serve an "important" gem. Her twisting the idea of chivalry into an indoctrination that destroys Connie's sense of self in light of that is really troublesome. It also makes Pearl's breakdown in "Friend Ship" and why she doesn't see sense of self as important make more sense.
** [[spoiler: With the revelation in Season 5 about Rose’s true identity, it puts a new twist on why she felt she needed to protect Rose, for even the slightest chance of her true identity being revealed.]]
** Softened in "Reunited" as [[spoiler:Pearl at long last learns to abandon this philosophy and fight for herself.]]
* LesYay: Even more between Pearl and Rose; their relationship is directly contrasted with Connie and Steven's, and Pearl was willing to die for Rose and says she made her feel like "everything".
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Pearl. While yes, Rose was everything for her and she clearly values Connie's dedication to protect Steven, that's no excuse for planting borderline suicidal thoughts into the mind of a 12-year-old girl by making her believe that she was nothing and should give her life to Steven's cause. This was the first episode where people realized that Pearl's obsession with Rose might actually be unhealthy, if they didn't [[RonTheDeathEater outright demonize her]].

* AluminumChristmasTrees: The outfit Connie uses for sword training halfway through isn't (just) a WholeCostumeReference to the ones Gohan and Piccolo from ''Manga/DragonBall'' wore. It's the kind of outfit worn for the real Indian martial art [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalaripayattu Kalaripayattu]]. Connie, of course, is ethnically Indian.

Not an ymmv trope, and misused either way. Turning the example into one that is.


* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Pearl is able to bounce back from her Rose-induced sadness a lot faster than she did in "Rose's Scabbard", probably because she worked through some of her issues in that episode.
