## Biography

### Emerging, Learning and Early work as a Superior

Azurite emerged several days after Era commenced.  After emerging, she was met by an Agate who informed her that she was going to be taken to her Diamond’s palace where she would be taught how to be a superior for Lapis Lazulis.    Azurite was then escorted by the Agate alongside four Cobalts up to Blue Diamond’s Palace and walked through the recently beginning construction of Homeworld’s City.     Azurite took in the sights of the city while walking through, until they reached Blue Diamond’s Palace.

After entering the palace and going through several corridors, Azurite would meet Blue Diamond for the first time.  Blue greeted her, and began to teach her how to be a superior while also being taught alongside a Shattuckite, who was nearing completion her teaching.   After being taught for a bit by Blue Diamond,  the following day, Azurite would be continue her education from the Shattuckite.   Shattuckite then showed some of her superior skills, and afterwards asked for Azurite to show her superior skills.   Azurite did so, and Shattuckite was pleased and surprised by how good Azurite did her skills in the teaching process.     Afterwards Shattuckite told Azurite that her superior skills were very good and she could see that she had a good potential in becoming a great superior to the Lazulis in Blue Diamond’s Court.   Azurite thanked Shattuckite and this began their friendship.

A few days after completing her education, Azurite officially began her duties as a Superior for the Lazulis, as the Lazulis all began emerging on Gem Homeworld.   Azurite would do her superior work with mainly firmness, although some friendliness was at times exhibited.

### Making Another Friend and Later Years of Era 1

Despite her firm ways, her friendly side was seen at times by some of the Lazulis over the next three thousand years.   And Little did she know that it would be her friendly side that she would receive another friend.

One day after work was done for the day, Azurite went to unwind in the Blue Diamond Living District’s Lounge Room.   While she unwinded from the day, a Lazuli came into the room, saw her, and approached her.    Azurite greeted the Lazuli, and the Lazuli greeted her back.  The Lazuli would tell Azurite her name was Waves and told her she was a good superior, much to her surprise.   Touched by it she told Waves that they could possibly be friends.   Waves agreed to it, beginning the second friendship Azurite would have.

Also during these millenniums in Era 1, she would have the Lazulis do terraforming work for their Diamond when it came to colonizing planets.    And every time a colonization was successful by their Diamond, Yellow or White,  the youngest Diamond, Pink, would throw a party to celebrate.    Azurite would attend the parties Pink threw, and despite initially thinking they were unnecessary, she would like them in some capacity, except the one party when Pink released a bunch of Rainbow Caterpillars in the Diamond Ballroom, culminating in commotion ensuing with Azurite being bumped into multiple times by the many gems running and screaming in the Ballroom trying to run away from the caterpillars running all over the place.

### Earth Colonization Begins, Rumor or Rebels and Witnessing Rouges

A thousand years later, Azurite would be informed by her Diamond to have some of the Lazulis do some terraforming work for Earth, a new planet that mainly being colonized by Pink  with some help from the other Diamonds.    Azurite would see a bit of the Earth colonization as some of the Lazulis did their terraforming duties, with her occasionally going down there with some Lazulis.

However a thousand years into the colonization process, Pink Diamond told that a rebellion calling themselves "Crystal Gems" were forming on Earth, with nervousness already across gemkind and it wasn't long before a panic ensued about these "Crystal Gems".

Later as the rebel rumors continued to spread, Azurite was present at the Cloud Arena alongside a few gems for a meeting discussing a group of rebels that were delaying the colonization progress, with a team of diplomats being sent to Earth to investigate the current crisis.  She would see a Rose Quartz and Pearl attack the Cloud Arena and witness the ensuing scuffle in which a Ruby and a Sapphire fused, and she was shocked to see the fusion before they unfused and ran away.     After the attack, Azurite was then moved to another planet that was being colonized to do other superior work for Lazulis.

### Work on a New Colony, Seeing another Rebel, and Hearing about Pink

After the attack on the Cloud Arena, Azurite was then moved to another planet that was being colonized to do other superior work for Lazulis.  For a few years, Azurite did her work with little to no issues.  However, one day, she noticed that some gem was running trough the area with one of the Lazulis following her.    At first, she thought nothing of it until an Apatite ran by, yelling at her to come with her and some other gems.   Azurite revealed her water wings and followed them via flight.

However since she didn’t know what the situation was, she flew over confused.   Eventually when she got to the where everyone stopped near a canyon, she saw the Lazuli following a gem running get poofed by a water spear.   She gasped upon seeing this.  However the Lazuli who poofed her profusely apologized to her saying that she was meant to hit the gem who ran off.

Azurite walked up and picked up the poofed Lazuli.  But then the Apatite came up to her and began to explaining that the Lazuli had some sort of connection to the rouge.  However a Rutile came interfered, believing the Apatite’s clarification to be absurd and was outraged by it.   Frustrated by the Rutile’s behavior, Azurite ordered for somegem to get security to escort the Rutile away.    Azurite would then inform the Lazulis to get back to work.

However sometime later, Azurite would hear the horrific news that Pink Diamond was shattered by the leader of the Crystal Gems, Rose Quartz, and heard the remaining Diamonds avenged their sister by unleashing a power called, "The Light" which was believed to have annihilated all gems on the planet, with the Earth colonization being abandoned.

### Era 2 Begins, Aquamarines, and Era 2 Years

After everything was done, Azurite was devastated at what had transpired.

She would attend the Era 2 Ball/Pink Diamond’s Funeral,  followed by days of welcoming former Pink Diamond Court Gems who were moving into the Blue Diamond Living District, and welcoming the new gems who were emerging during the Gem Boom of Era 2.

However the most notable gems she met aside from the new Era 2 Lazulis, there were new gems known as Aquamarines.  Azurite was amazed to see the Aquamarines, including the first one that emerged, most notably the first Aquamarine that emerged.  The first Aquamarine introduced herself as Aquamarine.   Azurite would spend the next several days teaching the newly emerged Lazulis and Aquamarines how to use their abilities.     She additionally during this time became friends with Aquamarine, however she did not like Aquamarine’s ego she would develop over the years.    Furthermore Azurite would continue working on the new colony, now a new Era 2 colony.

Now despite times looking good for her, there was some downsides during the following five millennia in Era 2, such as hearing her Diamond grieve and cry almost every day because of Pink’s death at the hands of the Rose Quartz.    However she would do her work well during this time.

### The Era 3 Ball and The Start of Era 3

Later on in 2018, Azurite’s life as she knew it would unexpectedly change forever.

It all started when one day in said year, when she was informed by many that Pink was never shattered, instead alive in a different form.  Left in disbelief, she spoke to the Aquamarines and Lazulis about.    The following night she would attend the Era 3 and witnessed the mayhem, “Pink” and “her” “pet” could cause, leaving her shocked at the mayhem.   She left the Diamond Ballroom that very night afterwards, confused and upset.

But then two days later, she received word that “Pink Diamond” who was actually her son, Steven Universe, had overthrown the Great Diamond Authority and all gemkind had been granted its freedom.   In disbelief of the news she informed her Lazulis and Aquamarines about it and began adjusting to the new ways of Era 3.   However Aquamarine left after the changes of Era 3 began, saying that she didn’t want to be a part of this new era after her wand was taken by Yellow Diamond due to the former’s ban on weapons of war with the commencement of Era 3.

### Beginning Executive Duties and Present Day

Later in 2020, Azurite was recruited and was made a part of the new Gem City Hall Council as an Executive, where she currently works today.

Additionally as of today, Azurite lives happily on Homeworld with her job, while also going on some trips to Little Homeworld on Earth since 2021, where during her first trip she befriended a Star Jade, who introduced herself as Lilac.    Azurite enjoys some Earth culture, such as the food and music, and Lilac accompanies her on her trips, serving as her guardian and friend.
