How Peridot acted in Back to the Barn
Honestly, she was a dick, yeah, but think about it. Her character in general is quite immature and she only viewed herself as vastly superior to Pearl because of what she was taught. Pearls are normally meant to just be servants, therefore Peridot treated her as such. She felt POWER over Pearl, thinking that she would listen to what Peridot’s saying (hence her clapping to get her to leave). She always gets a boost of adrenaline with any sort of power she seems to have (slapping Steven is an example).
Pearl definitely wasn’t at fault, but Peridot really isn’t either. I mean, she’s still getting a grip on how the hell Earth works. She did start a major conflict, but she at least got what she deserved for doing so, and even then, the issue got resolved.
I thought this episode wasn’t going to go anywhere at first.
Then it hit me.
