**Malachite** is the fusion of Lapis Lazuli and Jasper, and an original character that appears in *Steven Universe*.

## Appearance

Malachite has an appearance similar to that of other Malachites, as she is large with two slim arms and four large, muscular arms that function as legs. Her complexion is bright aqua with dark teal stripes, and she also has four cool green eyes with black pupils, no nose (with her gemstone acting as a nose), and a large mouth with full lips and jagged teeth. Her hair is in a messy and unkept updo that is solid white in color. Her top pair of arms are rather long and thin, while the bottom pairs are thick and come from her hips. Her gemstones are where her nose would be and on her upper back and are cool green.

She wears a standard Homeworld uniform that’s tinted dark teal with a Yellow Diamond insignia on her waist.

## Personality

Due to being a fusion, Malachite's personality is a twisted combination of both Jasper and Lapis' character traits. However, because she is an unstable fusion held together with anger, their personalities are present separately rather than merging into a new one. Once formed, she is shown as having Jasper's disdain for the Crystal Gems and wishing to see them destroyed, but Lapis was later shown to be the most dominant, being able to mentally overpower Jasper.

In "Chille Tid", Lapis is shown to be struggling to maintain her dominance over Jasper, it is also clear that if Lapis is distracted for the shortest period, Jasper can gain control. At the end of the episode, Malachite's personality starts to dominate and suppress Lapis' own, much in the same way Pearl was afraid it would happen to Amethyst and Garnet when fused into Sugilite for too long. It ends on a chilling note with Lapis refusing the name Lapis and proclaiming that they are Malachite now, indicating that Malachite's true personality is formed and is starting to take over. It is unknown if Jasper had also lost herself to the fusion.

## Abilities

Malachite possesses standard Gem abilities, bubbling, shapeshifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, and superhuman strength/durability.

### Skillset

* **Crash Helmet Proficiency**: Malachite is able to summon Jasper's crash helmet.

### Unique Abilities

* **Hydrokinesis**: Malachite inherits Lapis' power to manipulate water and liquid material. She has demonstrated she can form water into various constructs that she can control. She is shown to form hands out of water that she can use to smite enemies. She is also able to form chains to entangle or trap enemies with. She can control water even when not attached to a larger body, causing it to levitate.
	+ **Matter State Manipulation**: Malachite can change the state of matter of water using her hydrokinetic abilities, causing it to turn into ice. She uses the ice for both offense and defense, as projectiles or a shield.
	+ **Flight**: Malachite can use Lapis Lazuli's water-wings to propel herself at high velocities as an evasive maneuver or as a method of transportation.
* **Spin Dash**: Malachite can roll herself into a ball-like shape and propel herself at foes at great speeds. She has inherited this ability from Jasper.
* **Comet Charge**: While airborne, Malachite can lunge at enemies with alarming speed and power. This attack is very powerful as shown when it knocks Alexandrite to the ground.
