Calm and elegant, has mature demeanor and polite way of speaking, but can act very violent.

Skilled in tactics and analysis, but often stays out of fights.

Spinel mentioned that Mizuki Shiranui reminded her of Lapis.

Ice blue eyes with a soft and welcoming face along with an incredibly voluptuous figure, not too dissimilar to Mizuki Shiranui. As an Oni, she is taller than the average Demon, which adds to her commanding presence.

## History

### Background

Lapis is a type of low ranking Oni, which is able to create blue crystals.

She watches over her close confidant Spinel, both had become slaves to a mercenary group but, considered useless as their magic could not create stable gems. Because they both had still considerable strength and tactical abilities, they were kept alive and made to do grunt work, as part of the mercenary group. Their captain, was a powerful demon, but considered a tyrant and hated. Uniting, their forces with most of the low ranking demons, and some mid and high ranking once, they began a plan to overpower him. Spinel and Lapis, used a powerful poison, which over time weakened the leader. They waited for him to get drunk, and stabbed him with multiple of their man. Regardless, their captain was too strong and easily shook off this attack. While Lapis suggested a retreat, Spinel instead pushed onward, and almost killed the captain before he used a teleportation spell with a random location, that turned out to be the Human World.

Spinel was temporary given command but, it was expected that she would need to kill the captain before her troop would accept the new status quo. Lapis assisted her in this task to find the captain.

### Timeline Action

The leader escaped and tried to regain his strength, by eating people, which put him into conflict with the Taimanin. As he destroyed an entire group of Taimanin, he found Kannazuki Sora and Igawa Sakuya. Willing, to keep Sakuya as a pet or eat them, this moment of stress, awoke Sora's Ninja Art and she killed the still weakened demon.

As Lapis and Spinel, learned of this situation, and the fact they could no longer be credited for the kill, Spinel made the decision to hunt down Sora, to keep the troop in line. However, some elements of the story seem still uncertain.

Lapis and Spinel, attacked a Nomad-friendly politician (Resembling Yazaki Muneichi), Lapis herself fought against Uehara Rin and defeated her. Their true goal was to kill Sora, with them somehow learning that she would be working as VIP protection on the mission. Lapis and Spinel were shortly pushed back by Koukawa Asuka and the arrival of Fuuma Kotaro.

Spinel and Lapis appear, during another event, in which Spinel meets Mizuki Shiranui, Eleonor and Marguerite Lamarck. While she is lost in the city, Spinel helps the group with a number of human terrorists, before returning to Lapis, which took part in an important talk.
