![]() Pink's shield made it impossible for White to override Pink's identity, so she had to find other ways to repress her. The Diamond body repressed Pink's wants, as directed by White, the self-critical conscience. Rebecca Sugar, Steven Universe: End of an Era, /116 She's the flip side of White she can bring out a Gem's hidden personality-their deepest wants. White is identity, judgement, perfectionism, the superego-her power can manipulate, and remove, a Gem's identity. She is small, but being small doesn't mean she is less powerful than the other Diamonds, as Peridot says in Too Far: "You can do everything a normal quartz can do." It's the fact that the power dynamic is unequal what causes the impression that she is weaker than the other Diamonds, but they're actually factually equal in terms of what they can do physically, and not only they can but must complement each other. The reason she is at the bottom is just literally because her psyche and emotional needs are constantly being undermined. All four as a whole are capable of types of energy projection by extension of their aura projection Blue and Steven while in his pink state specifically seem to have greater proficiency at this.(Might be a stretch but it's something to consider.) Steven and White also have similar powers in regards to Steven's bubble shield and White's capsules she's seen summoning.Steven and White are both capable of entering the mind of others, controlling the bodies of others, or letting others control their bodies.Similar to Blue's powers over emotion Steven's been shown to feel the emotions of others in episodes such as Gem Drill.Blue and Yellow are able to detect foreign entities in the astral dimension as seen in Reunited which is likely something White and Pink are also capable of.Pink's specifically has been seen to be capable of repairing injuries and resurrecting the dead. All four produce an essence that's used for Gem production that only they are capable of.Blue's is her emotion, Yellow's is electricity, White's is mind control, and Pink's was healing. All four have been shown to have a different type of aura projection.With all of that said it's likely the Diamonds have the same power level as Pink/Steven but just didn't have enough time in the series for us to see it. For example his ability to summon a protective bubble is later adapted into making protective gloves he can use while sparing. Something also to consider is that although Steven may at first glance appear to have more powers a lot of them are simple variations of other powers. I think similar to how Amethyst and Jasper have been seen to use the same spindash attack that the Diamonds themselves share abilities across the gem type with small and unique differences as the result of them being different types of diamond. Going over all of their skillsets and powers there is a lot of overlap as I've listed below. The way I've looked at it is that Steven's only seen as more powerful from a mixture of him being less in control of his powers throughout the series and us the audience not being able to fully see the other Diamonds showcase their full potential.
