Peridot Diamond

Peridot (specifically Peridot Facet-2F5L Cut-5XG) is a member of the Questers, who made her debut in "Warp Tour".
She was originally brought to life in the Reef, and was Green Diamond's second Pearl, however she came out as a Peridot instead of a Pearl, as it was a malfunction in the system. Green wanted her anyway, she was also one of Kiwi's closest followers and her sole confidant.
Later, after the rebellion (and Kiwi’s death), she became a technician and a certified Kindergartener like the rest of the Peridots. After being stranded on Earth following the events of "Jail Break", she acted as a recurring antagonist along with Zaza and Aquamarine, until becoming more of an anti-hero and pseudo-antagonist by establishing a truce with the Questers in "When It Rains" to help them save the Earth from the Cluster. She officially became a member in "Message Received" after she defied her Homeworld superior, Emerald. For some time, Peridot lived in the barn with Lapis Lazuli, Zaza and Squaridot, but began residing in the Mansion after Lapis fled the planet with their home in "Raising the Barn".
As of the events of “ a new era” and onward, she lives with Lapis Lazuli, Obsidian and Squaridot in LittleHomeworld.
== Personality ==
When Peridot is first seen in the “warp tour” she seems calm and devoted, however, in her second appearance (CHAPTER NAME) she is hostile and dedicated to her task, but she is willing to take time off her directive and discover new things. When meet Zaza, she is wary of him and wants him out of trouble in her territory, however she begins to warm up to him when learning about his curious personality. Once she sees how infatuated he was to her, she becomes more closer to him and makes it her top priority to protect him.
Peridot appeared to be calculating, ruthless, and loyal, as shown in her readiness to kill Alice and the other Questers in "Homeworld invasion" when asked to by a higher authority. She takes her work seriously, crushing one of her Flask Robonoids underfoot when it was damaged and useless to her during "Warp Tour". Examples of Peridot's loyalty are shown during the events of "Jail Break". Although she disagrees with how Jasper is running their mission and is shown to be annoyed, she still takes orders and goes along with what Jasper has in mind. Another example of her loyalty is shown when she was driven to complete her mission and return to Homeworld despite no contact from Emerald or Blockidot (her higher peers) and has been shown to cling to Alice when she is scared.
She shows a different and caring side of herself to Zaza only, her soft tone and caring speech tells how much she cares for him despite not knowing much about the boy. She seems overly annoyed or aggressive with every other gem that’s on her ship. An example is when Zaza has to stop her and Jasper from arguing, or when she demands Aquamarine to zip it. She never acts this way towards Zaza. Constantly saving him when being attacked by the Questers. Like stated before, Peridot is ruthless towards others who are a threat, or who are no use to her and will have no trouble shooting them. Zaza finds this side of her personality badass.
After "Jail Break", Peridot became increasingly frantic in her attempts to contact Homeworld, knowing that the Questers' continuous interference with her mission would leave her stuck on Earth when the Cluster emerges and destroys the planet. Killing her and her remaining team (Zaza and Aquamarine) Her behavior is shown to be more erratic, in "Keeping It Together", for example, when flying away with her helicopter fingers, she smiles down and laughs hysterically, and her facial expressions are exaggerated throughout the chapter. In "Cry for Help", she interrupts all television signals with her own broadcast from the Communication Hub begging someone from Homeworld to rescue her. She even resorts to kidnapping Alice so she can try to repair the Homeworld Warp with her healing spit during "Catch and Release". When Alice is unable to solve her problem, Peridot becomes hysterical and breaks down with the realization that she is stuck on Earth with the Cluster. After reforming into her natural self with no limb enhancers, she becomes very juvenile and paranoid, assuming that harmless household items are "weapons" and that hostility drives every action from the Questers. However, once comforted by Alice, she becomes much more relaxed and cooperative, although she still refuses to cooperate with the Gems and sequesters herself in Betty’s house bathroom. She’s constantly worried about Zaza, as she expresses her worry for him to Alice, she is paranoid of what he and Aqua might do when they realize she switched sides. Though in a later chapter "Reunion" Zaza reunites with Peridot, and could care less if they were now working for the enemy and is just relieved that she is alive, he does of course ask about her limb enhancers. 
Zaza is upset that they cannot go to Homeworld, as she promised to take him, but keeps these feelings to himself.
Because Homeworld is a caste society, Peridot viewed the Questers, more so the gems as some being more superior than others, which often led to her unintentionally offending them for a long time. In "Back to the Barn", she acted very condescendingly towards Pearl due to her position in Homeworld's caste system as a made-to-order servant and refused to acknowledge Pearl's skill as a technician for this reason. After a competition between self-built robots, however, she concedes that she may have been wrong. In "Too Far", She shows a strong aversion to fusion, referring to Garnet as a "permafusion". In "Catch and Release" she refers to Garnet as a "filthy war machine" due to the Homeworld belief that fusion should only be used for combat. She has also stated that Garnet makes her "incredibly uncomfortable." She does try to appeal to Amber’s favor, as she sees Amber as the closest thing to a "normal" Gem, by getting her to laugh despite Peridot being incredibly socially oblivious and unfamiliar with the concept of humor. Peridot has a difficult time apologizing for her behavior but is willing to. It is shown in "It Could've Been Great" that while she likes to follow the rules she gets slightly excited when she breaks them (e.g. sitting in an elite Gem's seat). During her time with Alice, Bendy and the other Questers, she begins to realize that Homeworld's philosophy is very flawed, and she defects as a member of the Questers. She admits to having some lingering feelings over Homeworld in "Gem Drill". She reveals that while she had made peace with her decision to defect, it was tough to give up the old emotions of her past life.​​​

== History ==
==== Pre series ====
Much like Pearl, Peridot was made for and delivered to Green Diamond as a replacement for Green Pearl approximately eight thousand years before the events of the series, her creation having taken place in the Reef, but due to an unknown accident in The Reef, she has the gemstone and physical form of a Peridot, while her mannerisms are that of a Pearl. Green expressed her love for the defective pearl and took Peridot in as Green Pearls replacement. The other diamonds allowed it. Peridot was tasked with making her Diamond happy, though she didn't manage to do so for a long while. She was also more serious and strict compared to her original counterpart, so she could instruct Green and even Pink on how to properly run their first colony. Through her time with her, Peridot visited many other planets, and grew fond of space.
Like the other Diamond's Pearls, she carried a very strong and loyal bond to Green Diamond. One day, early on in the colonization of Earth, Green Diamond wished she could frolic and play alongside the Quartz soldiers that were emerging from the planet's surface, but didn't want to be reprimanded by the other Diamonds, especially Pink. Taking Green’s question about imagining the possibility of warping down to Earth seriously, Peridot thought that Green Diamond could avoid getting caught if she shapeshifted into a Quartz soldier to blend in for a day.
=== “Warp Tour” ===
Peridot sends her Flask Robonoids to Earth to repair the Homeworld Warp, which allows her to warp to Earth. From there, Peridot plans on warping to the Kindergarten, but she grows concerned when she sees Alice’s sticker. She then notes "this site may have been compromised" and warps back to Homeworld. After she leaves, Garnet smashes the Homeworld Warp Pad so Peridot could not return.
==== “(CHAPTER NAME)” ====
She lands on earth once again in one of her pods that break upon landing, she notes that she couldn’t use the Homeworld Warp due to technological difficulties, so Homeworld equipped her with a pod ship, she’s devoted to her mission in scanning for any signs of self-sustaining plant life on earth. Peridot hardly notices Zaza as he follows her out of admiration. She was even hostile towards him at first when she almost shoots him, but eventually befriended him when they formally introduced each other and when he took her to safety. 
After Zaza saves Peridot from a sudden forest storm, he takes her to his trailer and shows her all the treasures that he has collected over the years. Later in the chapter she’s attacked by Sam and her pod is destroyed completely, Zaza breaks up the fight.
