### Jewelpet Magical Change

In episode 15b, Peridot has a job in a sushi restaurant, where she serves sushi to the customers in baskets. She wasn't doing very well as she ended up seeing starving cats on the way, and started to eat the sushi herself. She came to Airi's place and lied about everything, claiming that the cats were starving and that is why the sushi was gone. Her boss was getting sick, but she told him to never give up. As a result, Peridot achieves her human form, made improved sushi and the restaurant was live once again. She still eats sushi occasionally from time to time.

### Jewelpet the Movie: Sweets Dance Princess

Peridot has a minor role in the movie. She is shown waving goodbye to the Jewelpet team on their journey to Sweetsland along with Jewelina.

## Personality

According to the official website, Peridot is depicted as a spiritual being who loves to play with butterflies.

In the anime, Peridot's personality varies within each series, though in most of her incarnations she is depicted as an American. Jewelpet Twinkle☆ had that aspect of her character removed, only to be restored in the airing of Jewelpet Sunshine (and the following series after that).

Jewelpet Magical Change gave an interesting twist to the idea: Everyone around her assumes she must be from an English-speaking country because she mixes English words and phrases into her casual speech, but that's just an affectation, and she isn't actually fluent in English.

In most series, she's usually lively and full of energy, and also very nice and kind to others around her.

## Appearance

Peridot is a Papillon dog with a yellow body, white chest fluff and ear tufts and green ears and tail. Her Jewel Eyes are made out of green peridots. For her attire, she wears a green and yellow butterfly-shaped hair clip by her left ear and a green and yellow flower garland around her neck.

Sometimes in the first series, she is seen wielding her own microphone, which is colored lavender.

In Jewelpet Kira☆Deco!, she occasionally wears aviator goggles and pilots a yellow biplane.
