So far, Steven has been able to turn everybody that he believes in over to the good side. He believed that Centipeedle could be good, and even though she was misunderstood, in the end she turned out to have Steven's well being at heart. The Crystal Gems didn't even think to let Lapis Lazuli out of the mirror, and yet Steven took the time to get the message and free her. Peridot, loyal to Homeworld and a character fans couldn't be sure if she'd actually come around, has now proven herself to Steven and the other gems. Who's next? Jasper, perhaps?
