WELLLllll. I can't even tell if "Peridot" is meant to refer to the individual members on her team right now, or Peridot-the-concept, because those are vvvery different things. She actually thinks of Peridot conceptually as a nurturing place, where WE'LL ALL BE ACCEPTED, NO MATTER WHO ELSE OR WHAT ELSE HURTS US! Sort of the translation of the Golden Land in canon, ofc. That's why she kind of flips her shit a little every time Peridot has infighting or estrangement issues, or when there's the question of whether or not someone "belongs" there. Peridot is Peridot is Peridot and that's the bottom line and if you violate that it's opening up the path to a slippery slope of hurt and distancing the team from each other (obviously this is just her opinion/fear). Part of that, honestly, is that she like--"well if THEY might not be Peridot then I'm put under suspicion" since she doesn't really believe she deserves nice things. AS SOON AS SOMEONE IS EXCLUDED FROM PERIDOT, that place is no longer guaranteed for her, and she would not be able to function without that concept to fall back on.
As for the individual members... most of the old guard of Peridot is gone and most of the members now are fluffier and more dependent, so she doesn't see them so much as equals as her children, EVEN IF SOME OF THEM GET HUFFY/DEPRESSED AT THAT. Lelouch is her co-parent and the co-leader of the team, Cassie is her younger sister on sort of a midway step in the hierarchy, and Ventus/Fay/Emilatosk/Rose are all her BELOVED CHILDREN! Though of those, she has a special attachment to Ratatosk just because he has a blunt and brutal approach that she can deal with and which allows her to feel more comfortable opening up herself, which she will not do with ANY OTHER OF THE KIDS. So maybe he's slightly more on the level of Cassie :|a
How conceptually does Raven see the teams, including Tiger's Eye? Are his beliefs on who goes where closer to "it's destiny" or "it's completely arbitrary" :|a I GUESS YOU COULD ANSWER THIS FOR YOUR OTHER CHARACTERS TOO NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT!
