Her gemstone is located on her forehead.

She wears a dark green bandana around her neck, matching the colour of her gloves and goggles, is what she sometimes wears around her head when she's working, Peridot wears large, puffy gloves with metal knobs on the fingertips to enhance her ferrokinesis. Peridot also wears a jetpack with stickers representing her interests. The jetpack has her prisoner code-number marked on its boosters, showing she is willing to show those who imprisoned her that she has grown stronger.

#### **Stealth**

Peridot wears a stealth suit mainly composed in dark colours for camouflage. She wears a cardin green gakuran hazmat suit, with the tail of a jacket, her jacket is slightely unzipped, revealing her grey vest, with a black forest grey inside and thin sheets of fabric on her knees. Her suit is covered in luminescent shamrock green stripes which can be turned off. Peridot wears large, puffy black-green gloves with salem green palms, they are wired with support modules to aid in enhancing her ferrokinesis to great sizes.

Peridot has the symbol of an aardvark which is represented on her mask to aid her stealth. The mask has diagonal linear eyes which are indicative of the movement of her pupils, however, the right eye of the mask is switched off as the scarred eye cannot be detected. The long, metallic tongue of the mask is not for show, but is used to detect vibrations from the right side - her blind spot - along with other directions.

#### Voice

She has a high-pitched nasally voice, typically perceived as geeky or nerdy. it stays the same vocally whenever Peridot is shouting or talking softly, though it can become raspy depending on her emotions. Her vocabulary is sometimes verbose.

### **Personality and traits**

Peridot is an arrogant, curious, stubborn, ornery and excitable gem. She is a professional technician and a certified kindergartener. She is one of the smartest members and knows a lot about plant-life and animal characteristics on the exo-planet, she is great at problem-solving as she uses her observations and experiments to make a conclusion. In the group, she tends to have a passion for wildlife and finding out all about the. She keeps her notes on her tablet for further research. Peridot is also incredibly dedicated and somewhat possessive, occasionally to the point of obsession. Many of her childlike behaviours, particularly her temper and arrogance, stemmed from her former over-inflated ego. This is not to say Peridot is incapable of putting others above herself; she is just not used to having others who are willing to do the same for her.

Peridot also has a way of erratic aggression and violence when her friends or herself is threatened, she could lash out with astute energetic attacks and a target, if she is not scared of it. She is shown to be incredibly stubborn, she can get frustrated when she does not get her way and quickly loses her temper. When her state of mentality is neutral, she would often compromise rather than becoming aggressive. She also is vocal and honest about her viewpoints and used to bluntly state what was on her mind regardless of the audience. However, Peridot does take responsibility for what she says and has learned how to keep some of her more offensive opinions to herself.

As the new series continues, Peridot still keeps her eccentric and goofy behaviour and is less self-absorbed. She stills pursues her advanced technological skills and creates a lot of master plans, in which after every try and error, they're always hit or miss. She is still quite temperamental and passionate about her occupations.

## **Biography**

### Pre-Series

Months after Steven Universe: Future takes place, Peridot is noted to be hanging out with Steven and the gems during his road trip, until she was poofed by Bowser on his visit around the multiverse. Bowser placed her gem in a containment field in the desert, certain she would not be found or to escape.

### *Worlds Collide*

―{{{2}}} | ”

Before meeting Bowser. Jr, Peridot presumably reformed and noticed what Bowser had done with her. Garnet waits patiently for Steven and Junior to return after defeating Petey Piranha, with Peridot swearing out how her aggression towards Bowser. Upon release, Peridot immediately has false impressions about Junior, snarling at him in spite of him being related to Bowser. After knowing Junior is a companion to Steven, her impression change instantly.

During The Stretchy Situation, Peridot is poofed again by Commander. Hammer Bro, and his "monsters" after accidently being split up from the others, within the mist of the kindergarten. Her gem is soon retrieved after beating CHB, she does not reform until after the episode.

She is seen in the episode "Shadows and Reflections, creating swimming gear for Steven and Junior, made from dead fish carcasses. She says its organic water resistance can help them swim to lower depths without the water pressure crushing them. She also creates intercoms for every member to use when looking for Lapis. When the crew enter the cavern, Peridot is sided with Spinel after Junior transfers leadership to Steven. They soon cross pathways with the other group, and they all wonder where Junior is. Peridot suggests he could have gotten lost or hurt, so they go to look for him. After beating Cloakie, they rescue Lapis, which Peridot is extremely happy about.

In "The Valley of Fallen Stars", Peridot is seen helping assist fighting Kamek, until she was put into a trance by his new prism-powered wand.

During the events of "The End of Chapter..?", Peridot assists the team with her metal powers against George's ultimate form, the Luminosaur.

## **Powers and abilities**

### Skills

**Intelligence**: Peridot describes herself as smarter than the average Peridot. Additionally, she was able to instantly memorize the musical scale of a ukulele after hearing Steven play it, demonstrating perfect (or at least exceptional relative) pitch.

* **Architecture**: Being a "certified Kindergartner", Peridot has extensive knowledge regarding the location, mineral, and injectors used to create Gems and the state of such Gem by how they appear as themselves and the hole they had come out of. In numerous episodes in the animation, she has ideas about how to take advantage of Earth's unique resources without destroying the organic life. In other episodes, Peridot educates the Worlds Colliders of the intricacies of the Alpha and Omega Kindergartens and why their overall quality is far apart from each other. As a result, Peridot knows what would be needed to create the perfect Gem.
* **Engineering**: Peridot is able to easily improvise new creations out of existing technology, such as her ability to make swim suits out of deep sea alien fish caracasses for Steven and Junior to wear. Her engineering abilities are also shown through her upgraded suit, and her mega jetpack in "The Good Egg", and her other improvised magnobird traps in the same episode. Peridot has some construction skills, as she managed to blueprint the structure and architecture of The Base to a stably built living space.
* **Horticulture/Agriculture**: Peridot learned about Earth's plant life and decided to use her skills from Kindergarten management to cultivate vegetables at the farm. In *Steven Universe Future*, Peridot is shown running a greenhouse in Little Homeschool and teaching other gems about gardening. She also studies the anatomy and different species of plants on Kepler-22b. In this series, Peridot has her own biology lab in her workspace, where she maintains plant life and endangered animal life.

### Natural Abilities

* **Immense Durability**: By her own admission, Peridots are rather durable and can evidently take much harm unscathed. In "A Stretchy Situation" Peridot easily shrugs off having a heavy piece of Kindergarten machinery crashing down on her without "poofing", with her physical form remaining intact. However, her durability was unable to sustain when she is met face-to-face with one of Commander. Hammer Bro's "monsters".
* **Photokinesis**: Peridot is shown using her gemstone to project a green light, like a flashlight. She shares this ability with Garnet and Pearl.
* **Enhanced Strength**: Even with her limb enhancers, Peridot possesses very little physical strength and has difficulty just lifting Steven and pieces of a warp pad normally. In "The Good Egg", she has difficulty lifting up a magnobird egg, which is roughly the size of her, without help. However, she some degree of considerable strength when compared to a human.

### Unique Abilities

* **Ferrokinesis**: Peridot can levitate and control metallic objects. The extent of her powers - whether she manipulates magnetism or just the metal - is still unknown, though given as she was able to use the ability on her tablet without damaging the device's circuitry, magnetism appears unlikely. It is possible this ability is what made her so proficient with her limb enhancement's fingers, particularly the 'finger copter' ability. It can require some physical and mental strain on Peridot's part depending on the weight of the object(s), but once lifted off of the ground, her ferrokinesis makes it effectively weightless. The exact maximum she can lift with this ability is unknown, but she is capable of lifting several tons with little effort. Peridot often uses this ability to grant her and others the ability to essentially fly, such as controlling a trash can lid for her to ride on.

### Additional Tools

#### Currently

* **Earth Tablet**: A gift from Steven, Peridot uses it to explore the media and express her feelings shown, she also said it is something to love, for she no longer has advanced gem technology. Peridot shown to be able to use Earth technology as she was able to use a tablet with little guidance from Steven, possibly because the interface is similar to her limb enhancer's holographs.
* **Trash Can Lid**: Since the unspecified point of time, Peridot, combining her ferrokinesis ability, can stand on a trash can lid to fly around as transportation, as well as giving others a lift using the handle on the bottom.
* **Robonoids**: When she served Homeworld, Peridot could control different types of spherical robots known as Robonoids. There are four types of known Robonoids: Flask, Plug, Hand, and Visor. They can perform multiple functions, such as fixing a Warp Pad and activating Kindergartens. As of *Steven Universe: The Movie*, she seemingly has them back, sporting a new design with her visor on them, they are also seemingly used for more analytical purposes, and scanning with the holes of the Diamond shape.
