Other Characters: n/a
CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character Name: Lapis Lazuli
Age: Way over 6,000 years +
Canon: Steven Universe
Canon Point: Post Chille Tid
Character Information: Wikia
Personality:
Whatever kind of person Lapis was before her time imprisoned inside a mirror would most likely be vastly different from the kind of person she is now. After spending what was most likely thousands of years in near complete isolation, the only contact she had with the outside world being through other gems using her as a source of entertainment or information, Lapis' social skills and ability to communicate and connect properly with other people could be considered very damaged.
At first Lapis is hard to connect with; she's closed off and awkward at conversation and seeing that it's been a long time since she's even had a proper conversation with someone before Steven this makes sense. Even with Steven her social skills are stunted. An example of this was when he healed her gem and all she gave him was a quick thank you before zooming off into space, consequently leaving him behind to fall thousands of feet back to earth along with the rest of the ocean.
That isn't to say Lapis isn't heartless though. Her first interactions with people and Gems after being imprisoned were the natural reactions of someone who had lived in a literal prison and in fear. Her determination and desperation to return home showed that Lapis is actually very emotional – to the point that it can affect those around her in both positive and (but mostly) negative ways. During her time with Steven and his willingness to help her go back home helped her grow extremely fond of him to the point of putting herself in danger later on in order to help him avoid danger.
Having lost thousands of years due to her time in the mirror Lapis is stuck between two homeworlds – one from her memories from before her imprisonment and the one that exists now, advanced thousands of years to the point that Lapis no longer recognizes her own home. It leaves her in an extremely uncomfortable position, seeing that she has no concern for Earth (“I never believed in this place...”) nor the capacity to adapt to a life on a world that has advanced way beyond her ever being able to catch up. While Lapis is pretty independent she is still left floundering for a place to exist between two worlds she either doesn't care about or can't comprehend and that leaves her vulnerable and extremely lonely.
Despite this Lapis is incredibly loyal once her trust is earned and this is proven over and over with Steven primarily. She considers him her friend and someone very important to her, important enough to ensure his safety by risking her own (omitting his name in her retelling of her time on earth, forming Malachite to save him from Jasper). Once she's able to open up and be comfortable she's actually a very caring and playful girl with a sense of humor that could probably take influence from a '101 Potty Jokes' book. She enjoys making pranks and fart noises, especially during semi-serious moments like mayoral speeches.
