## Biography

### Emerging, Learning, and Early Terraforming Days

Veil emerged a few days after the Era 1 Ball as one of countless Lazulis for Blue Diamond. Veil would later be taught about her abilities and how to use them. After a few days, she would be successful with her learning and proving herself to be good enough to become a Terraformer.

Her first duty on terraforming for a colony was on a new planet founded by Blue Diamond, where she alongside a few other Lazulis did some terraforming work on the planet.   However despite looking promising, her terraforming damage was not major nor big as other Lazulis were, leaving her a little disappointed.  However she kept her chin up, knowing that she could do her work good as a Lazuli.   She would do some more work, but she never got a chance to be put on a more major project due to her performance compared to other Lazulis.   Other Lazulis at times would joke about her performance, much to Veil’s dismay and sadness.

### Making a Friend and Terraforming Improvements

As a few weeks would pass, and Veil would get some more jabs and ridiculing, making her more dejected.   However one day things changed when one day on the duty of terraforming a cyan blur would blow by her, doing some major terraforming, taking Veil by surprise. Veil would fly to the Lazuli and attempt to talk to her, but Lazuli cut her off, saying that she had to terraform for a bit before going back to work to care for a Sapphire before flying off to do more terraforming.

Later that day, Veil would look for that Lazuli around the Blue Diamond Living District until she eventually found her cooling down after terraforming.   Veil approached her and introduced herself and Veil Lazuli.   The Lazuli introduced herself as Lightning.   Veil then asked her why do they call her that.  Lightning then told it was because she was lighting fast, which Veil replied that her name sounded fitting.

However their conversation was abruptly interrupted by the Sapphire who said to them they will be friends, much to the chagrin of Lightning.   But then Veil offered to be friends with Lighting and she agreed, although Lightning told her as a part of their friendship, she was going to train her to become a better terraformer.   After that she met the Sapphire who was named Stardust.

Over the next five thousand years, Veil began to show improvements in her terraforming, which was impressing more Lazulis who were stunned to see her improve as time went on.   Many saw Veil to be a good Lazuli that could terraform.   With these improvements, Veil believed herself to be a good Lazuli. Additionally during these five millennia, Veil would attend the numerous parties throw by Pink Diamond after her siblings' victories on colonizing planets. Also it was during one fo these parties, Pink released a bunch of Rainbow Caterpillars in the Diamond Ballroom, culminating in calamity with Veil flying up to the ceiling to watch the mayhem unfold below her.

### The Rebel, Imprisoned in a Mirror, and Abandoned

However things would change massively for Veil one day.  It all started when she was doing some terraforming, when suddenly as she was about to send a water wave down to terraform an island, she took notice of a figure running. Intrigued by this, she followed the figure until she made her way into a canyon where other Lazulis were not at.

As the figure landed in the Canyon, Veil flew down towards her and tried say hi, but the figure turned and glared at her and yelled, "What!?" at her. Startled and shocked, Veil immediately backed up, hovering about five feet away from the figure.

Veil, confused, asked for the figure name.   The figure revealed herself as Corderite, a gem who was going to join the Crystal Gems.   Veil then asked her what the Crystal Gems are.   Corderite then explained to Veil who the Crystal Gems are, a rebellion led by a Rose Quartz that was fighting a war on the planet Earth.  Veil learned through Corderite that the Crystal Gems were a rebellion led by Rose Quartz, who wanted to protect a planet named Earth from Homeworld.   Corderite told Veil

After being told this, Veil was shocked but she asked Corderite if she could join her and expressed interest in being a Crystal Gem.   Corderite however told Veil that she would have to rebel from Homeworld, but that was interrupted by the other Lazulis and a few other Blue Diamond Court gems came to the canyon and saw Veil and Corderite.   Corderite gasped and ran, and as Veil tired to follow, she in the process got poofed by a a stray water spear formed and thrown by another Lazuli that was meant to poof Corderite.   After the accidental poofing, the gems ran up to pick up the now-poofed Veil.

However as Azurite picked up Veil’s gem, an Apatite persuaded Azurite that Veil probably had a connection to the rebel.  Apatite then had the Lazuli put into a mirror and had a another gem abandon the mirror on a planet which the gem left on a warp pad to Earth, dropping the mirror in a gravel pit and warped back to Homeworld.

### Trapped in a Mirror

Sometime after the mirror was abandoned, some corrupted gems came across the mirror.  After looking and smelling it for a bit, one of the gem grabbed it with her mouth and took it up to the nearby mountains.  However sometime later the corrupted gems began to fight over the mirror, and it was during one of the the scuffles they had in the mountains that they’d lose the mirror.

While the mirror was lost to them, the mirror found itself in a bush.    A few years later, a few humans found the mirror and decided to take it to their village.   Over the next thousands of years, Veil, while being trapped in the mirror would see the humans who took her with them and eventually saw the offspring those humans had and the cycle continued.  However one thing that was interesting was that all of the owners she had were teachers, writers, readers, and poets, and it was through them she would learn and come to know a bit about the Pashto and Dari languages as she would later learn the place she was in was Afghanistan on Earth.   Additionally in the mirror, she learned about the holiday Ramadan.

However one day, in 2021 Veil would find herself alone again after her last owner, left her behind in a house in the Afghanistan mountains as they moved out of the house.   Veil was saddened.  She had been with that family since the ancestors.   She never held a grudge against the humans since they didn’t know she was trapped in that mirror.

### Freed, A New Friend, and Present Day

After being stuck in that more for more than over five millennia, one day it would be all be over after a week of being abandoned again, the Crystal Gems accompanied by some of the Gems from Little Homeworld were visiting the Afghanistan mountains for a Little Homeschool Field Trip for their geography class.

As some gems entered the now-abandoned house, a Pearl noticed the mirror and saw the Lazuli gem.  After informing her friends, the Pearl, alongside an overcooked Amethyst and a fusion, the three gems managed to free Veil. As Veil reformed and opened her eyes, she saw a fusion who was shocked, a devastated overcooked Amethyst, and a Pearl who was covering mouth on the verge of tears.   Very insecure and shy, she met the main three Crystal Gems who were Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl.   However she would befriend them and accept their offer to come to Little Homeworld in Beach City, Delmarva.

Upon seeing Little Homeworld after arriving, Veil was in amazement.   Additionally she was told all about Era 3 and how all gemkind has its freedom.   Veil would then begin living her new life in Little Homeworld.  Additionally in 2021, she would meet and befriend Golden Rutile.  The two met and talked for a while. Two two would start a friendship after that talk.

As of today, Veil lives a nice life in Little Homeworld, while also having a couple of jobs, being a fruit juice and smoothie creator and making home deliveries for the Big Donut, having started both jobs in 2022. Veil currently enjoys her this chapter of her life and hopes for a good future in her life.
