The thing about first impressions with Spring regarding Peridot right now is that she... kind of closed herself off from Peridot towards the end before she was booked. She didn't think her problems mattered to them (but that was because Cal more or less brushed off her dying in her mind by saying "Everyone has awful lives) and was a little uncertain about their inaction during a Darkness attack. So she left just going "I don't really belong on Peridot".
So coming back she was super wary. And Hazel is actually really bad at being separated from people she cares about. We see in canon that she gets separated from her boyfriend and thinks he might be dead/not see him again and she nearly rage quits until Leo stops her. But that's also because everyone she's ever loved... she's lost. And so coming back to for of the teammates she new being gone and then some more personal issues she's a little more on edge.
A point in favor though is that, most of her prominent memories is being physically and mentally abused by the people she grew up around (also racism/mother's possession/etc) and so as a person in Aather... This has made Peridot as a whole REALLY important to her. Because they never rejected her or did anything like that and so even if she's really uncertain about new Peridots this brings a point in their favor.
So that's really how her impression started with Rena/Amaranth. She really wants desperately to just be upset that she'd lost people, but she can't. It's not in her to hate people for existing because.... Well, one her own life and she's also been a "replacement" for someone important. She knows how it feels to have someone want another person more than you. But at the same time!!! She really likes meeting new people/friends and so she's trying to be friendly and accepting.
They've only talked a bit now, but she thinks that Amaranth fits Peridot really well. She's cute and encouraging and that's good (Hazel is not a big "cute" thing person because soldier/warrior so she thinks that's GOOD. because cute/fashion etc is important to Peridot). She accepted her rather readily and didn't distance her which was another important factor. Especially when some of the guys did (although Hazel cannot blame them and completely understands).
In her head though she's ironically placing Canna/Clover because once Beatrice legacied her first while in Aather they were the only girls in the team. And somehow it's a fit that works...? Rena definitely isn't Clover! But at the same time they feel really similar to her and so it's easy to try and get along with her. Also it's just... nice to not be the only girl on the team. And so she wants to try and be friends/get along/do stuff together, but first she has to sort out all of the feelings she has right now to properly re-settle in Peridot.
BUT SO FAR. Amaranth has many points in her favor and Hazel likes her!!! She is just a mess of feelings.
