Pink Diamond is one big enigma. She is merely referenced in "Steven Universe" and no one knows what she looks like. Not much is known about her except that she is deemed the original Diamond in charge of Earth's colonization. She captured people as trophies that she would display in her zoo.
Her actions incited rebellion, which saw her ultimately defeated by Steven's mother, Rose Quartz. Pink Diamond was last mentioned in the previous "Steven Universe" season 4 episode, "That Would Be All."
