⤿A/N: I don't take requests, sorry! This is for indulgent purposes haha
✦From what i can interpret from the show, Lapis most likely still has trauma after expriencing certain events.
✦Lapis is a college student who has recently received therapy after experiencing the past trauma of a school shooting a few years ago and being in a toxic relationship. She met Steven, a boy in middle school, during her time receiving therapy. Steven and Lapis are much like siblings, similar to the show; Lapis is awfully protective of him, but she's a little guilty that she doesn't really have time to spend with him.
✦After graduating high school, she met a girl named Jasper, and they got into a relationship, but it quickly got toxic because of their personalities clashing. Lapis broke up with Jasper after a year and proceeded to take therapy. (They were both toxic, just letting you know)
✦Now that she's a junior college student majoring in art history, she's roommates with Peridot and also friends with two other girls who both have the same hair color as her(nice Lapis and mean Lapis)
✦Speaking of appearances, I can see her having the same blue hair but with an undercut haircut. Her skin is tan (she definitely has freckles too), and she's a fan of dressing in crop tops a lot, along with a long dress or jeans.
✦She's very reserved and stoic; she might come off as cold when you meet her, but when you get to know each other, she's friendly and loves to talk about art. She has some issues trusting people because of past trauma; she may be rude sometimes, but she's quick to apologize if you're someone close, like Steven.
✦Because you and Lapis shared a seat together and both majored in art history, your friendship began when you two occasionally worked on projects. Lapis has begun to grow fond of you after some time spent studying together. When Peridot nags her to ask you out, she always shoots her a glare and tells Peridot to mind her own business.
✦Whenever you weren't looking, Lapis would glance at you just to admire your focused face when you two were working on a project. She smiled and thought you looked adorable. She looked away and acted dumb when you caught her that one time.
✦Now that Peridot has been bugging her about you like a thousand times, she finally asked you out on a date. She took you to a beach city that's just a few miles from your college. Beach City was also where Steven lives with his family, and you guys met him on your date. Steven was overjoyed and might've spilled some embarrassing facts about Lapis.
✦Of course, she quickly tells you to buy some donuts before Steven continues anymore. She got a box of donuts that filled with three glazed blueberry donuts and three of your favorites. She offers to pay, but you beat her to it.
✦You two spent your date together, eating donuts, walking on the beach, and playing in the arcade until it was evening. You two sat on the sand, looking at the setting sun. She told you that she had fun, and you replied back with the same thought. Eventually you two started a deep conversation that led her to open up about her past. You reassured and comforted her, and she appreciated that and also appreciated you.
"You know....you really are amazing." Lapis snorted and smiled. She looks at you lovingly and holds your hand. "Thanks for agreeing to go on a date with me, I'm glad you had a great time." She tugs a hair strand behind your ear.
✦Your date ended, and you two got to your dorms. Lapis walked you to your dorm first. Before she left for hers, you gave her a kiss on the cheek. Peridot finds Lapis coming back to their dorm with a dorky smile. She smirks knowingly.
