She currently resides with the Crystal Gems, specifically inside Steven's Bathroom as of "Catch and Release".

## Appearance

Peridot has lime-green skin, and pale greenish-yellow hair styled into a tetrahedron shape. Her true eye color is unknown at this time, due to being tinted by her visor, but can be presumed to be some shade of green. Her mouth and tongue are blue. Her gem is located on her forehead, and is shaped like an inverted triangle with rounded edges.

In all of her appearances to date, she wears a sleeveless green V-neck bodysuit. Her suit is mostly medium green, with a dark-green diamond outline around the cut-out of her neck area, meeting together to form theYellow Diamond emblem at her solar plexus, with a dark-green portion between her chest and leggings. Her leggings feature yellow diamond-shaped kneepads. She is never seen without her visor, which covers the top half of her face and tints her eyes yellow-green.

From her first appearance in "Warp Tour," Peridot wore arm bracers and boots until "Catch and Release," which revealed them to be Limb Enhancers. These artificial extensions are bright green and flare out toward the wrists and ankles, which are colored very dark green. The arm enhancers also feature artificial fingers which are not directly attached, but instead levitate around where the palms would be. The leg enhancers serve to enhance her height; without them, she is only about as tall as Ruby and Sapphire and slightly taller than Steven.

## Personality

Thus far, Peridot has been shown to be morose and ruthless. She is skilled with Gem technology and works for the Homeworld Gems as a technician and takes her work seriously, crushing one of her Robonoids underfoot when it was damaged in her first apperance during "Warp Tour". In "Marble Madness", She briefly interacts withSteven, questioning him about the current state of Earth before losing interest and attemping to crush him. When the Crystal Gems intervine and reveal themselves, Peridot is shocked and flustered. when she realizes that the Crystal Gems were the ones that have been destroying her equipment, she quickly loses her temper and asks "Why do you keep destroying my things?!".

Peridot is very naïve when it comes to Earth, especially when the information is not important to the mission, such as assuming that Steven's *Crying Breakfast Friends!* sticker was a sign that the Galaxy Warp had been compromised. She also believed that, while interrogating Steven, there were a species called "Stevens", just because he addressed himself by his name, and in in "Friend Ship" she referrs to Steven's fingers as "touch stumps".

Since "Jail Break" Peridot has become increasingly frantic in her attempts to contact homeworld and stop the Crystal gems interferring with her plans. 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 episode. And In "Cry for Help", Peridot interrupts *Crying Breakfast Friends!* and all other television signals with her own broadcast from the Communication Hub begging Yellow Diamond for help.

In "Friend Ship", Peridot smugly taunts the Crystal Gems after trapping them in an ancient gem vessel,believing herself to always be one step ahead, even repeatedly yelling at them to die with no qualms with repeatedly attempting to destroy them with the various traps on board.

In "Catch and Release", Peridot kidnapps Steven with the hope he'll be able to fix the homeworld warp, when he can't she becomes hysterical, and eventually breaks down with the realization she's stuck on earth with the Cluster, but before she can elaborate the Crystal Gem's arrive and disarm, poof, and bubble her. After reforming into her natural self and losing her armor, she becomes very juvenile and paranoid, assuming that harmless household items are "weapons" and that every action from the Crystal Gems is driven by hostility. However, once comforted by Steven, she becomes much more relaxed and cooperative.

## Abilities

Peridot, aside from regeneration, presumably possesses standardGem abilities and traits. Most of Peridot's "abilities" stem from her Limb Enhancers, so it is unknown what the majority of her abilities are other than standard Gem abilities.

Peridot has displayed, on countless moments, a heightened ability at working with technology. She has enough experience to pilot aGem Warship and in "Jail Break", Peridot is seen briefly interfacing with her ships controls, presumably setting a course to the Gem Homeworld.

She has a variety of evasion tactics, and surprising resilience to injury, being able to survive a great fall in "Keeping it Together". She has some construction skills, as she managed to rebuild theCommunication Hub to a usable state and was seen trying to fix aWarp Pad. Peridot has also shown to be surprisingly limber, being able to avoid most attacks during her confrontation with the Gems in "Friend Ship", and using her fingers as an alternative to walking. However, Peridot has little to no skills in hand-to-hand combat, and has been mostly reliant on her Limb Enhancers for self defense.

### Additional Tools Edit

* **Gem Destabilizer**: In "Jail Break", Peridot wields a Gem Destabilizer, an extremely potent, but non-lethal, tool used to subdue enemy Gems.
* **Robonoids**: Peridot can control different types of spherical robots, known as Robonoids. There are three types of known Robonoids: Flask, Plug, and Hand. They can perform multiple functions, such as fixing a Warp Pad and activatingKindergarten.
* **EMP device**: In "Warp Tour", Peridot placed a device on theGalaxy Warp Pad before she left Earth. About three seconds after being placed, the device explodes, disabling all of her Robonoids. The device seems to be highly advanced, as Pearl'spulse bomb in "Political Power" (which appears to be made from human technology) was unable to disable even a single Robonoid.
* **Limb Enhancers**: Mechanical body extensions Peridot has worn since her debut until she is caught by the Crystal Gems in "Catch and Release".
	+ **Anatomical Liberation**: Peridot can separate/amputate some of her body parts by touching a lime-colored button at the zone she wants to remove.
	+ **Blaster Protrusion**: Peridot can transform her fingers of her right arm into a blaster which can charge and fire an electrified energy ball which explodes on impact. Charging it for a second produces a shot powerful enough to blast through the ceiling of the Ancient Gem Colony Ship. Charging it for several seconds produces a large shot which can knock down a thick stone pillar, and has enough recoil to knock Peridot onto her back.
	+ **Interface Creation**: Peridot can project a holographic touchscreen from the fingers of her right hand, in which she can control and connect to different forms of Gem technology.
	+ **Tractor Beam**: Peridot is able to produce a light green tractor beam from her left hand to move or throw objects/people.
	+ **Wall-Scaling**: Peridot can freely run up vertical walls without falling.
	+ **Helicopter Fingers**: Peridot can expand the fingers of either hand and spin them rapidly enough to fly.
