Character Name: Pearl
Series: Steven Universe
Skill Equivalencies Requested: Astronavigation & Piloting, Eidetic Memory/Perfect Recall, Interface, Kit-Bashing, Swordfighting
Reasoning: Oh boy. I'm so sorry.

Kit-Bashing: She built this thing out of plane parts and pieces of junk in an old barn, an EMP out of... a mini fridge and hair dryers???, this freaking robot out of more random parts she found in the barn... She's an extremely talented engineer who is used to working with whatever the hell comes to hand.
Astronavigation & Piloting: Re: the above spaceship, Pearl was perfectly confident she could pilot the thing to the next star system, which presumably requires a decent ability to navigate in space over massive distances, as well as the skill to get a ship to Alpha Centauri and back in 50 years. (For the record, that requires somehow achieving speeds of almost 117 million miles an hour.)

Eidetic Memory/Perfect Recall: Idk, there were two skills that seem to be roughly the same thing, one from Lightning Age and one from Solstice Masquerade. The point is, Pearl can record memories and replay them perfectly - every word, every inflection exactly the same - thousands of years later. She doesn't. Forget. Anything.

Interface: She's interfaced directly with gem technology on multiple occasions - this may be partially a function of gem technology itself, but she's one of two gems who seem to be able to do this, so it seems likely it's also an inborn or learned skill, not something any gem could just do. She's used these interfaces to input commands to control a gem warship, and to download and quickly sort through data.

Swordfighting: It... it's kind of her thing. She's been doing this since before human civilization began, okay?
