White Diamond was formed in a star. That’s why she’s not like the other gems or even the other Diamonds. They were all made on terrestrial planets but White was forged in a star, maybe Homeworld’s. That would also explain why she’s glowing like crazy, she’s literally stellar.

Edit: Further evidence, her cape looks like it has stars in it, with her representing the “brightest star” of them all. Second piece is the way her outfit is designed, on the center of her chest it looks like a star design. 

Another edit: Heck, her head is literally a five pointed star

Edit 2.0: Five pointed stars represent “authority” and “excellence”

EVEN MORE EVIDENCE: “ Sophdet, the Egyptian personification of the star Sirius, is always shown with the five-pointed star hieroglyph on her head.

“

Edit AGAIN: the symbolism of glow, is “enlightenment and understanding”, White seems to have known about Steven arriving, him being Pink Diamond, and potentially that Pink faked her shattering

Wow more edits: 
“
the stars’ association with the heavens has turned them into symbols of the warfare between light, or spirit, and darkness, or material forces.” *cough black lipstick and nail polish and eyeliner but white body but black cloak again” (with a stretch this could explain why she seems a bittt unhinged)

Edit 3.5: This is why White seems star based, calling Steven “starlight” and saying “thank the stars” (stretch)

Edit 3.6: White’s ship is seemingly separated from everything else, kinda symbolizing her being at the center of everything. Like she’s the grandest of them all, also she really stole the spotlight of the episode. Just like a true star.

@atsuyuri-sama  Has their own interesting theory where all the Diamonds were made from stars and if I may add to that. That would explain why White Diamond was called “difficult” because white dwarf stars are pretty dense, they are also incredibly long lived and will live longer than the current age of our Universe and that would add to the theory that White Diamond is the oldest Diamond!

@folkkvangr also made an awesome addition to @atsuyuri-sama ‘s post in which they said  “At a distance of just nine hundred light-years, however, even a dim white dwarf should have been visible. The fact that they still can’t see it suggests to Kaplan that it must be unusually cool—no more than two thousand degrees, as opposed to about six thousand for the sun. “Most white dwarfs are made mostly of carbon and oxygen,” he said, and, at that temperature, given the density of a white dwarf, those elements should have crystallized. Another name for crystallized carbon is “diamond.”

“. Oh my stars, Rebecca please let our new crackpot theories be right.

@anna-no-e also made their own white dwarf theory so check that out! (Thanks for sourcing me at the end btw!)
