It's not a shell. There's so much life, living here. That's what I'm doing! I'm living here! I've been learning new things about myself all the time! Like how I can make metal do my bidding! The point being: Earth can set you free. |

Peridot (specifically, Peridot Facet-2F5L Cut-5XG) is a member of the Crystal Gems and one of the main characters of the show Steven Universe and a supporting character in both Steven Universe: The Movie and Steven Universe Future. Before reforming, she also served as the central antagonist of Season 1 and the main antagonist the first half of Season 2. She made her debut in "Warp Tour". She was originally a Homeworld Gem technician and a certified Kindergartner. After being stranded on Earth following the events of "Jail Break", she acted as a recurring antagonist until becoming more of an anti-hero and pseudo-antagonist by establishing a truce with the Crystal Gems in "When It Rains" to help them save the Earth from the Cluster. She officially became a member of the Crystal Gems in "Message Received" after she defied and insulted her Homeworld superior, Yellow Diamond. Peridot lives at the barn with Lapis Lazuli until Lapis left Earth and took the entire barn with her in "Raising the Barn" as Peridot is forced to live with Steven. As of the Season 5 half-hour special, "Reunited", Peridot is poofed by Yellow Diamond after attempting to stand up to her former boss. She eventually reappears in the Season 5 half-hour finale special "Change Your Mind" to help Steven and Connie along with Lapis and Bismuth. She currently lives with Lapis Lazuli and Bismuth as of Steven Universe: The Movie.
She is voiced by Shelby Rabara.
