## Biography

### Emerging and Early Work

Squaridot emerged during the Gem Boom of Era 2. After emerging and being take up to Homeowlrd where she educated on her job and numerous other details that would be explained to every gem that was emerged during that time. After receiving her education, she was equipped with limb enhancers as Era 2 Peridots were not made as tall as their Era 1 counterparts and began her work as a technician. Her technician duties were do basic work on new tech, and other technological equipment.

### Work as a Successful Technician

During her time, as a technician she was one of the best Peridots to do technician work as she would manage to make over hundreds of Homeworld's technological equipment work or macitence. With numerous success left and right, Squaridot was met with success and praise from most gems including her own Diamond in Yellow Diamond. Although Yellow didn't show it, she said she was pleased with Squaridot.

Squaridot, herself was pleased with her success as her job and constantly boasted about it, much to the annoyance of other Peridots.

### Coming to Earth

Six thousand years later, Squaridot was assigned to Hessonite's command and was a part o a mission that was proposed to track down one of the Light Prisims. Hessonite and Squaridot made their way to Earth.

The first location Squaridot visited on Earth in The Great North piloting her attack pod, where was making a field report outside the pod, but was surprised by the abrupt appearance of three gems, accompanied by a human. Initially surprised by them, she quickly dismissed them as evident obstacles that were to be obliterated. Vowing praise from Hessonite, she boarded her attack pod and began to attack the four "obstacles". Despite it, her attack eventually went awry as the gems and the human were able to overpower her, defeating her. Although she was defeated, Squaridot remained defiant as she was captured the gems with her swearing that "she'll never betray her superior".

### Meeting Another Peridot and being Poofed

Squaridot was taken by the four who defeated her to a barn in Beach City, Delmarva. It was there she met another Peridot, at whom she rudely commented on the Peridot's lack of limb enhancers, all while snickering about how glad she was not to be the other Peridot. While the Peridot told her that she had nothing the do with Homeworld, Squaridot ultimately refused to listen, causing the two Peridots to get into an argument over their ideals about the situation, which turned to a shouting match which ended with Squaridot unintentionally revealing that Hessonite was at the Gem Battlefield. After the Peridot laughed at the mistake she made, Squaridot angrily responded by activating her limb enhancers' energy weapons, which culminated in her being poofed by the three other gems after the human cried for help. As a good measure, she was bubbled, while her limb enhancers were destroyed.

### Attempt of finding Hessonite

Sometime later, the Peridot unbubbled her in an effort to get her on the Crystal Gems side. However because of her ego, Squaridot refused the offer and ran off to retrieve her damaged attack pod. Using the battered pod alongside whatever tech she had left, Squaridot began searching from the whereabouts off Hessonite. In the process, she remembered that Hessonite's ship had an emergency protocol for locating her Prism. Assuming that would lead her to her. She then proceeded to board Hessonite's warship and activate the protocol. However, when she activated it, the ship took over and imprisoned "Squaridot" in a glass container full of fuchsia-colored fluid. While imprisoned, Squaridot had her mind extracted by the ship's computer, which created robotic copies of her, that sent out a transmission for the human, commanding him to deliver the Prism to them.

The Crystal Gems would later, arrive on the warship and deal the number robots of Squaridot made and thanks to the Peridot's hacking skills, she was able to shut down the ship's computer and release Squaridot from her captivity. After being released, Squaridot explained what truly happened and, to show her gratitude towards the Crystal Gems for coming to her rescue, she told them that she would refrain from reporting their presence to Hessonite, as well as the Diamond Authority, causing the Peridot to realize that Squaridot was still unaware about Era 3, to which the human helped explained it to her.

After being told all about Era 3, Squaridot exhibited difficulty processing it, to which the human proposed that she come along with them back to Beach City, and even offered her to show her Little Homeworld. She refused the offer, stating that she isn't ready for all that yet. The human understood and told her that if she ever changes her mind, she knew where to find them.

### Coming back to Earth and Present Day

In May 2023, Squaridot finally came to a conclusion to come to Little Homeworld. She would warp to Earth and would get a place to stay at in the Little Homeworld Living District. After making arrangements throughout the summer, Squaridot would attend Little Homeschool for the 2023-2024 Season with expectation to graduate in May of 2024 with a degree in System Administration. She would begin her System Administration classes the following month in August. In September 2023, she met a Lazuli and had a conversation about each other, and they began a friendship, but are frenimes because of certain things.

## Appearance

Squaridot had a short statue, slightly curly figure with wide hips, a small waist, and a round chest. She has an olive-green complexion and chartreuse-yellow hair in the shape of a square. A white visor covers the top half of her face and her triangular gemstone replaces her left eye.

### Yellow Diamond Authority Uniform with Limb Enhancers

She wore a medium green and dark green Homeworld uniform with dark green spherical shoulder pads. The top half of the torso portion was medium green and the bottom half was dark green. Her uniform also included a pair of short dark green leggings. the upper stomach and knees portions bore Yellow Diamond's insignia (with the upper stomach insignia being a triangle). 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 and bubbled.

### Era 3 Look

After being released from the bubble, she now wears a suit that is now mostly medium green, with dark green spherical shoulder pads and a yellow stripe on her torso featuring two triangles, one on her chest and one on her upper stomach (almost resembling a four-pointed star). She continues to wear short dark green leggings, but now wears medium green leggings as well, that cover her feet and feature yellow toes and yellow triangle-shaped insignias on her knees.

## Personality

Like most Era-2 Peridots, she had a mindset similar to all of them. She was wholly devoted to her mission on Earth and saw anything that got in her way as an obstacle to be crushed. She was deeply loyal to her superiors and seems to hold Yellow Diamond in the highest regard possible as she fantasized about being praised by her as the most wonderful thing she could ever hope for. Her pride ii running a smoothly efficient operation, but when something interfered she exhibited a mixture of panic and frustration leading her to display erratic behavior. She preferred to rely on weaponry provided to her by Homeworld to make up for her lack of innate powers as an Era 2 Gem. She deemed organic life inferior and believed Gems failing to adhere to Homeworld's Caste System are hopelessly defective. She also mocks and refuses to listen to insistence that there was nothing wrong with abandoning Homeworld's beliefs.

Later on, her beliefs were changed when the Crystal Gems came to her aid. Squaridot appreciated the gesture and promised that she would refrain from reporting their presence to Hessonite, as well as the Diamond Authority (whom she thought were still in control at the time), to show her gratitude. She is currently having difficulty processing Era 3, after learning about it from the human, but other than that, she doesn't seem to have any major problems with the new Era, despite her former beliefs and loyalty to the Diamonds.
