Peridot (Squaridot)

Squaridot concept sketch

Peridot, nicknamed "Squaridot" for her hair, is an Elite gem of Homeworld. Her identity Peridot code number is Facet-3B7X Cut-7X5.

She is one of the antagonists of the series, soon becoming a supporting main character with her own arc.

## Personality

Squadidot has a completely polar opposite mindset and personality to Peridot 5XG.

She isn’t wholly devoted to her mission on Earth and doesn’t see anything that gets in her way as an obstacle to be crushed. Much like Peridot 5XG, she believes that Alice represents an entire species sharing her name but never openly recants this. due to her being an elite, she had Rubies accompanying her in her debut “hit the diamond”, there, she displays a very threatening personality and seems strict toward her rubies, until confronted by Zaza. Once confronted by the hybrid, her entire personality and demeanor changed drastically, she was much more cheerful and laid back.

however she did show a sign of aggression and anger when Ruby kept purposely missing the ball.

She seems far more gleeful and sensual than the other Peridots shown. She is soft-spoken, amused by the Earth's details, expresses constant satisfaction, and dramatic in her mannerisms. She is also very flustered. When put on the spot she can get nervous to the point of nearly breaking down into tears.

Despite her cheery disposition, "Squaridot" also has a more manipulative side to her. In "A Cubed friend" and “Secret sisters”, "Squaridot" tricks the Questers by exaggerating her usual innocent personality. Once the Questers do not see her as a threat, lower their guard and take her in, "Squaridot" had a tracker on her so Emerald could locate the fugitive. It is shown in chapter “Secret sisters” that “Squaridot” was supposed to betray the Questers, but she couldn’t bring herself to do so and betrayed Emerald instead.

After that chapter, Squaridot becomes an official member of the Questers, and begins to live in the barn with Peridot, Lapis, and Zaza. Though Lapis is hesitant to let her stay, since she was sent to betray them previously.

After warming up to the Questers, Squaridot becomes a local, helping the questers on missions and such, her personality doesn’t seem to change as she develops humor skills (learned from Zaza) and begins to participate in basic human activities, such as watching television or planting seeds outside the barn. Her gleeful and cheerful personality remains as well as her soft spoken tone.

She now sees the flaws of Homeworld and the diamond authority, she even tries to remove her choker as that signifies her position as an Elite. She seems resentful towards Emerald and visibly gets upset when Peridot says she feels bad for her. She is also shown to be rather emotional, as she ugly sobs when Peridot hugs her and says she loves her.

In the events of “Change your mind” Squaridot gains quester clothes, and newfound confidence as she distracts the higher diamonds by making as much noise as possible, so Peridot, Alice and the other Questers can get inside the giant diamond robot. It seems she’d do anything to get the mission done.

In the events of “QFTIM: a new era” she’s helpful in getting the memories of her sister, and other questers back. Alongside Aquamarine, Lapis, and Obsidian. She seems visibly distressed when seeing Peridot in her beta form.

In “QFTIM: a new era continues” we see Squaridot build, and lead scouts. She also teaches new gems about the human reproduction system. In her chapter with Zaza, (REST IS WIP)

## Physical appearance

### Pre-regeneration (debut)

"Squaridot" is almost completely identical to the Questers Peridot. However her palette is different. She has an almost a neon-green complexion and chartreuse-yellow hair in the shape of a square. Unlike Peridot, Squaridot doesn’t wear a visor and her triangular gemstone replaces her left eye. She has a rather roundish figure, her arms are very slender and her chest and overall upper body is petite while her lower half is curvy and round. His body shape resembles that of a pear.

"Squaridot" wore a medium green and dark green Homeworld uniform with dark green circular shoulder pads, four yellow diamonds lay on her shoulder pads. The top half of her torso was dark green and the bottom half was medium green. She has a Diamond shaped hole in her uniform, that exposes her stomach and belly button. She has a green choker with a yellow jewel. Her upper stomach bore Yellow Diamond's insignia. Due to her being an Era 2 Peridot, she was equipped with limb enhancers on her arms and legs, before they were destroyed when she was poofed. She also noticeably wears shorts, unlike most peridots, who wear swimsuit type clothing.

her whereabouts were unknown as her Ruby soldiers, along with “Eyeball” took her gem and fled earth, though Squaridot returned on her own, without her limb enhancers.

After returning to earth, her lower legs and arms were now exposed. Since her limb enhancers were destroyed, she has, by extension, lost the height they gave her, forcing her true, short, stature to be displayed. She wears “sock-like” leggings around her shins, they expose her toes and back heel, they also have yellow diamonds symbol on it. she has two green and yellow bands wrap around her wrists.

### Post-regeneration (current)

After her regeneration in "Change Your Mind" Squaridot wears overalls with shorts, stars are the buckles to the shorts he wears. She also wears thigh high leggings now, like Peridot, though her exposed feet and back heel remain. Her leggings gradient in color, going from yellow to dark greens, stars are on her knees and her leggings are also ripped. She wears dark green gloves and a XL sized shirt, with stars on the shoulders. A yellow bow is seen on her neck, as a replacement for her commander chocker in her previous form. Her square hair style also remains.
