Steven Universe Characters with the Saddest Backstories
A lot of the characters have sad backstories that make us cry, who has the saddest?
Pearl is a fictional character from the 2013 animated series Steven Universe, created by Rebecca Sugar. She is a "Gem", a fictional alien being that exists as a magical gemstone projecting a holographic body.
She is portrayed as a loving, gentle and delicate character, who acts as a motherly figure for Steven. However, she also tends to be overprotective with him and have a low self-esteem; she is also deeply overwhelmed with the grief of Steven's mother, Rose, who she was madly in love with.
She is frequently praised for being a positive depiction of a queer character, though her strong obsession with Rose has been described as "unhealthy". Definite 1. Pearl sacrificed everything and did literally everything for rose, rose then fell in love with someone else, breaking her promise, then rose died, and pearl lost her purpose. Pearl is so amazing, her backstory is so tragic, definitely one of the saddest backstories in cartoon history.
Watch "A Single Pale Rose" and "Now Were Only Falling Apart" and then you will see.
