She's shown herself to be pretty unrepentant in her disregard for non-gem life, and she's a bit of a weasel too. Plus she's possibly committed genocide before (she seemed used to operating a Kindergarten but not used to being resisted, so take from that what you will). Don't get me wrong, she's a well-written character and serves her role as an antagonist very well, I just don't see what's so likeable about her as a person. aaaGREED. I like villains as much as I do heroes. I like Jasper. Jasper has a code of honor. She respects strength. Peridot is a slimy, simple minded techy with more naivety than Steven. Lapis tried to kill the CG three times...she doesn't really need to become good. I'm sure Steven will give her a chance but she probably won't genuinely receive it. Why do people think she's so funny and cool and interesting? Really she's as dry as they come. We won't be getting any deep thought quotes from her like from Jasper or Lapis. Peridot may be showing up in this Joy Ride episode but I don't think she's really going to matter once the CG deal with more gems. I hope she falls on the backburner and more interesting gems and gem fusions take the stage.
