>>78515706>>78515887I like Steven because he's just a goofy kid with a good heart. He knows he can't match up to his heroes, yet he always tries to do his best to grow little by little so that one day he can be just like his heroes.
Peridot could be viewed as a Steven clone, someone who isn't quite headstrong or believes in herself, yet tries to do what she perceives to be the right thing. Not much is really known about her backstory as of yet but there's the general gist of it.
Basically a coming of age story, expect one is more developed than the other.
I wouldn't care to see the same story regurgitated again, we already have that going on already. Let's hope the writers just hand her back to Home World already, or maybe just be the tech guy for the gems. Even though we already have a tech guy, that being Pearl.
She really doesn't have a defining role to offer, and she isn't much of a dynamic character to bounce on and off characters because the writers have all established that she's just a punching bag.
