Little Amethyst was so cute!!

Though it got me wondering how “old” she is mentally and how that projects on to her body? 

Because in “So Many Birthdays,” Amethyst’s body looks about the same “age” as it appears currently.

 Yet when we see her in the 80′s she looks and acts a lot younger.

It made me wonder if Amethyst had been found fairly recently, maybe only a few decades prior to tonight’s episode. 

Yet based on their outfits in the boat-painting, she’s been with the Gems for at least 200-300 years and kept the same “older” appearance.

So why is she “younger” in “Story for Steven”? Was she shape-shifting to look cute for/mess with Greg? To annoy Pearl? Did Greg just imagine her looking and acting younger in his flashback? A continuity error?

Probably nothing earth-shattering, but food for thought??
