Perfect Memory
Zebra can remember conversations and events perfectly, as a result of having been sealed in the vase.

Personality
Zebra is nowhere near as zealous as the average quartz. She hates violence and dislikes fighting. She is sensitive, emotional, and very compassionate and supportive of others. She senses loneliness in others and seeks out outsiders in order to comfort them. She is kind to a flaw and more trusting than she should be, which makes her unfortunately gullible. She is stubborn in her views and will defend them passionately, but she seldom raises her voice and never threatens. She is proud of her feminity and has a deep desire to be perceived as beautiful and dainty, which she feels is unlikely because of her large size, muscular stature, and general quartz nature. She is infatuated with nearly every pearl she meets and wants to baby them. 

Bio
Zebra was manufactured immediately before the war and, like every other viable young quartz, was stationed on earth to fight for Homeworld. Zebra's disdain for violence meant that she was a terrible soldier, but Homeworld couldn't afford to shatter defective gems when resources were stretched so thin already, so she was excused. Soon, Zebra became a good source of morale for the other soldiers, including a Biggs Jasper that never spoke. Zebra and Biggs bonded, and Biggs became an open book in her hands. The two became romantically involved and might have had a happy relationship, had Zebra not defected to the Crystal Gems after she witnessed one too many acts of abuse on Homeworld's behalf. Zebra tried to convince Biggs to come with her, but Biggs refused and the two separated on bad terms. Soon afterward, Zebra was caught by a Homeworld patrol and, deemed a traitor, punished by being poofed and sealed in a vase that could hold voices. The vase was placed in bases where spies and traitors were expected to frequent, in discreet coridors where secrets could be overheard. Then, Zebra would be forced to repeat them to the authorities, giving away her own friends. When word came of the corruption weapon, Zebra was left behind, forgotten in the vase. The ruins she was abandoned in were believed to be haunted because she would cry for help whenever she sensed someone nearby. Six thousand years later, Zebra is freed from the vase by Druzy Quartz and Cranberry Pearl, two misfits sent on a suicide mission to earth from Homeworld, and their relationship takes an unexpected turn.

Gems typically do. Y'know, oppressive society they live in and all.

I can't believe Crying Breakfast Friends was about the Diamonds all along.

Out of context, that would make no sense. But we know the context, so it makes too much sense.

That stupid fan theory about Percy and Paulette being foreshadowing for Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamond might actually be true, lol. (Paulette is on the blue team, has tear shapes on her scarf, and is always crying. Pierre is on the yellow team, has a yellow diamond insignia on his clothing, and is stern. Just for context, in case you haven't heard this.)

This is the first time I've ever heard of it. The theories I had heard regarding them applied to Lapis and Jasper, which we know are false by now.

I think most people initially thought they represented Lapis and Peridot. I personally think "Both of You" could apply to either Jasper and Lapis or YD and BD.

The thing about SU is that anything can be interpreted in any way.

And the fandom will fight you on every single one of them.

Especially the interpretations that make no sense.
