I think I am the first and only one with this theory. What if Peridot has volenterly participated in the forsed fusion experiment. What if she had some of her own gem cut off to be used in said experiment. Notice that she is the only seen gem to: not produce a weapon, fuse with another gem, shapeshift, and have disconected limbs (in this case, her fingers). She had shards of her own gem cut off, and so her physical form was altered (I want to say currupted, but that gives off the wrong idea). And through the use of advanced Homeworld technology, she was fitted with new ones- being her forearms and bottom half of her legs. This allowed her to do things that she could not normally do; such as fly and walk on walls. Remember in Keeping it Together, when Peridot walked on walls and Steven said, "Hey, I can't do that." and Pearl said, "Neither can she!" This is gem technology- gravitational boots. Pearl implies that all gems, or at least Peridot, can't walk on walls.

Also, Peridot has never fought without the use of Homeworld technology.

Gems can only do so much, but with removal and replacement they can do more. But at the same time it makes themselves weak if the technology fails. She is never shown doing anything any normal gem can do because she can't, she's weak, she's practicly cracked.

I know what you might say, "Her gem doesn't look cracked." Well really we have only seen one side of it. Gems are shown to exist more then what is shown on the outside. If Peridot is ever poofed, then we can see what is on the other side.

What do you think?
