2.And Jasper, she is a warrior. She is taught to fight and nothing else. If her and an enemy are close enough, she will fight them. She really has no other choice..

3.Plus, if Malachite unfuses what do you think is gonna happen to Jasper? Bubbled forever? Yellow Diamond will think of her unworthy of her court, she literally thinks of her as A Jasper. She fused with a member of Blue Diamond's court, which is not right. Yellow Diamond is not gonna bring Jasper back with open arms. 1. (People tend to bring this up alot for some reason?) True, lapis and peridot both attacked the CG's BUT: lapis was just trying to get back to homeworld then, after all she had been trapped in a mirror for god knows how long, i'd be pretty pissed too if i were trapped in a mirror on an abandoned planet far away from home. Also I'd like to think that if someone has a goal THAT big they would throw all logic and reasoning out of the way, and just let their actions speak (attempting to drown steven and connie) to accomplish the goal (getting to homeworld after all these years).

But of course, in the end steven got to her,reasoned with her, and helped her leave.

Obviously this didnt go well though, right now she seems to be neutral,but a prime candidate for redemption since she sees steven has a friend,even if she hates the other CG's.

Aside from malachite,she also seems to be taking a mentaI beating, lets combine this with the fact she is still not ok with the other CG's, I wouldnt be surpised if she attempts suicide (or is it gemicide?) but even if she does steven would probably get to her agian.

Peridot was trying to do the same thing, but really she was just trying to get off a ticking time bomb before it explodes. The CG's were just getting in her way, once she realized she was stuck there, she knew she would die. Now, after shes been captured, seeing has how she has no way off the planet, she sided with the only people capable of helping her destroy this threat (The CG's).

She's smart she knew the best choice, plus she warmed up to steven and the others after a while.

Lets take look at jasper now shall we?

hmm... Is still hostile toward steven(chille tid),check.

Still hates the CG's, check.

Has no friends, check.

Pisses off everyone she meets (including peridot), Check.

Wont be reasonable even when she has complete control "We dont have to fight!" Check.

Doesnt appear to have a Soft side? not even a little bit? Check.

Has not been kind to any character so far? Check

Wowza... that eliminates nearly every possible opening for redemption...

Not a complete monster, but damn thats a minimal chance right there.

2. now that you mention it... Jasper reminds me of a stormtrooper: She cant be reasoned with, she follows all the orders given to her, she fights first asks questions never and there is many, MANY,more than one of her.

No choice? My friend, now that she is in control she couldve unfused and ended this conflict rightaway, leading to a perfect redemption arc: the gems attempt to poof and bubble a weakened jasper. Steven,seeing jasper give up like this,being the kind,friendly guy he is, would prevent this from happening, the gems would not let her be free however and lock her somewhere in the temple,episodes pass by has steven visits jasper in her imprisonment, after a while the two have seemingly become friends eventually steven convinces the gems to let her go, she is released and may or may not stay with the gems.

3. Well of course! what did they do to peridot when they caught her? they bubbled her. If steven didnt pop her bubble she would still be in there today! but he saw her freakout and wanted to know what was wrong, why was she so afraid? what was making her freakout?

tl;dr?

1.They both had their reasons for attacking, jasper does not.

2.She couldve ended this right now if she wanted to.

3.Sure! since they bubbled peridot immediately and since jasper doesnt exactly seem to be lending a friendly hand here,its highly unlikely steven would pop jaspers bubble.

Dammit i typed alot!
