Crystal Gems, this is Peridot's sponsor reporting.
As you can see, I've been vouching for Peridot's turn around for quite some time. While she has had a few setbacks along the way, I can assure you that her progress is astounding for someone raised under Homeworld's thumb. Over time we have seen Peridot, an outside Gem, get close to all of the Crystal Gems, including Steven Universe who, sources claim, is of close relation to Rose Quartz.
In notable instances, Peridot has learned to respect Pearls, who she was taught were inferior, she has learned to apologize and to see when she's wrong, and has even started to become interested and respecting of fusion. There's also been a recent incident involving the sharing of paint cans that should be noted. All of this is excellent progress.
However, it has come to my attention recently that Peridot has been thinking of moving into the barn. While I respect her feelings of independence, I don't think this choice is a particularly good one. Peridot is still in a vulnerable position to Homeworld, if they return, and if left in isolation may start to revert to former ways. Though, to be realistic, this is not all her fault.
Peridot has mentioned that there is not enough room at the Crystal Temple. I am actually appalled that you have made her stay in the bathroom as apposed to on the couch or sharing a room with another. There is not even an adequate bed made in the bathtub either. As her sponsor, I believe it is necessary that Peridot it able to acquire her own space in the Crystal Temple.
After all, you all agreed to making her a Crystal Gem, but by keeping her separated at the barn it seems more likely that you didn't really consider what a Crystal Gem is. Moving one from the group but giving them the same title is a lazy way to achieve success. Peridot believes she is a full Crystal Gem now, but in the coming months she will come to question her significance in the group.
You took her under your wing, made her your friend, your ally, so I strongly suggest that room is made and that Peridot is moved into the Crystal Temple. She may not be the strongest, fastest, or more agile gem, but Peridot is a Crystal Gem, and she needs the support and amenities that it provides. She's simply not ready to function as a unit on her own.
While roommate Lapis seems like a good way to keep her from being completely alone, Lapis herself is not obligated to fill the needs that Peridot will need. Lapis is planning future trips to explore the world and this will also leave Peridot alone. In these periods is when she will need support. Peridot does not do well entirely isolated, we know this for a fact.
Crystal Gems, I respect what you do for Earth and I know that Rose taught you enough to lend this support. While I never met her personally, I am under the impression that she would've wanted to keep Peridot close and would've wanted to continue nurturing her. Peridot is not done learning and is not at the level where she can be left to figure things out for herself.
Please get back to me as soon as you can. My concern is for our dear Peridot; I see too many people in her situation get sucked back into their old position.
