Honestly, as far as the opening goes, they could just change out some of the shots to include the other recurring characters in them. Giving Peridot (and Lapis should she officially join the crystal gems) singing roles would require them to rework the intro song. That would be neat, but unnecessary.

Incidentally, I wonder if Peridot will ever get a new set of limb enhancers. As is, she's not especially useful in a fight.

She wasn't exactly a great fighter with her limb enhancers.

They could just have newer gems / characters say the "AND STEVEN" part at the end and have Steven react surprised, as like a continuity gag directed at the fans

So all those new gems would be a "Steven" Gem?

[up][up][up] True, but it was very much an Unskilled, but Strong thing, considered the powerset they gave her.

Lapis could just sing her name in harmony with Garnet, while Peridot sings hers with Amethyst.

One purely offensive attack, Two defensive attacks, and One Retreating ability...

That's not much.

[up] To be fair, her Arm Cannon was really strong (for someone who could aim), and the tractor bubble beam thing could be a Game-Breaker if applied properly.

It doesn't lighten the weight, she needs both arms to use it.

[up] True, but with the limb enhancers Peridot was seemingly as strong as other gems physically, so that's still a lot of weight that can be moved around telekinetically.

Her metal power should be enough if she can just get a handle on them.

Maybe Lapis tutor her on arm motions for telekinesis.

I suppose, though I can't imagine she'd be one to pass up a new set of augments; being forced to do without them for a good long time would be a valuable learning experience for her (you are more than just technology), but even with her metal powers she's by far the weakest of the crystal gems.

[up][up]She's gonna have to learn mental strength on her own though...since she can't seem to pull out lodged metal (or knock over a tin can apparently).

You do have to wonder why she has ferrokinesis, though. It's obviously not a power innate to Peridot's or she would have none about it. And it could be a very useful power so I don't see the Diamonds hiding it or something like that, like some people seem to think.

Doesn't she have power over metal...not ferrets?

All Peridots get limb-enhancers, so they can't have possibly known about it.

They reason I don't Peridot and Lapis getting singing roles in the opening, even with the budget, is because they're not quite main characters. They're with Connie and Greg as very important supporting characters.

Peridot is literally a Crystal Gem and the lead character in probably like half of the episodes since she began working with the Crystal Gems.

Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.

She is only the lead character in "Too Short to Ride" and perhaps "Barn Mates", in Season 3. The last 9 or so episodes of Season 2 are her redemption arc. Season 4 gives her Kindergarten Kid.

Her personality tends to grab the spotlight when she appears, but she is often not the focus of the episode.
