Lapis Lazuli
Theme Song: May it Be by Enya
May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home
Mornie utĂșliĂ« (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
May it be the shadows call
Will fly away
May it be you journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun
Mornie utĂșliĂ« (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
A promise lives within you now

Personality: At least a paragraph.
Lapis is very friendly and innocent. She really likes seeing people smile and animals happy. She views the world as a very sunny place where everyone needs to learn to get along a little better. She believes that everyone wants to be a good person, but some people just donât know how and they only need to be taught.
Though Lapis is very friendly, she doesnât really keep friends for too long and she is extremely shy. Sheâs looking for a purpose in life and so, she never stays in one place for very long. She canât explain it, but she knows that she has a greater purpose in life than what she has been finding so far.
Although Lapis is very sheepish when it comes to people, she is excellent with animals. She feels naturally drawn to them and they to her. She can easily calm animals when they are in distress and even wild animals do not act hostile toward her. Lapis loves animals and doesnât know how to live without them.
More often than not, Lapis seems like quite an air head. She spaces out and seems like sheâs really stupid, but sin reality she is quite intelligent. She just canât help but wander off into a dream world from time to time. A lot of people will say she has nothing but air in her skull, but no one really knows how smart she is. It might even be the intelligence that she has that forces her into her dream world or to get lost in her thoughts.
Over all, Lapis is an extremely calm person. She doesnât get angry, sad or scared very often at all. She has this airy quality to her. Sometimes because of how calm she is, she can seem unsympathetic, but she really wishes the best for everyone and she hates when other people are upset or angry. When she tells people that everything will be okay, sometimes they think she is pushing their problems aside as little. Usually, itâs just because of her smooth, calm voice. Most people would sound more emotional about things. However, Lapis doesnât think she is being too calm at all. Itâs just how she is.
When Lapis seems most sympathetic is when people are sad or crying. She sings lullabies to people to help them feel more at peace with their situations, whatever they may be. She usually does this only to people she knows well. If she knows them well enough, she even writes an individual lullaby just for that person to show affection for them.
Still, even with her calm airiness, she has a sadness about her. Maybe she is a happy person⊠Maybe itâs the fact that she is usually spacing out⊠Not many people know why she has a sadness about her. The most probable reason is that she describes things with words that are usually associated with sadness.
There are a few times that Lapis breaks her calmness. One of them is when she believes someone to be behaving cruelly. She confronts them very depressed and asks them why they would do such a thing. If they do not have a good reason, she tries to convince them that what they are doing is wrong. If they will not understand, she will; become upset or angry.
The second thing that makes her calmness evaporate is fire. It frightens her to the extent where she may freeze up and have trouble thinking. She can become petrified with fear or become very emotional. If she lucky, she wonât quite freeze up, but she will still become emotional.
Oddities: Lapis has an extreme love for fish and insects. She hates when people crush bugs and other such things. She also hates when people eat fish. She views them as too graceful and cute to be eaten. Lapis often refuses to eat meat in general, but when she has to eat meat, she deals.
Lapis is prone to falling asleep. She's not very good at staying conscious when nothing is going on and even when she stays awake, she tends to space out and enter a dreamy state or get lost in her thoughts. This may make her seem stupid, but she is very knowledgeable. The spaciness of this girl also leads her not to talk too much at times, but she'll hum when she spaces out a lot of the time.
Another odd thing about this gem is her constant humming. She has a gorgeous singing voice and she loves lullabies. It doesn't really matter what is going on or where she is, she might start humming to herself, leading into a daydream. Luckily she hums very softly and doesn't draw too much attention to her.
The moon is like hypnosis. Lapis could stare at the moon forever and not notice anything around her. She feels drawn to it and she loves it. However, she tries not to look at the moon, for she might not stop until the sun begins to rise.
Likes: Water, rain, the ocean, animals, people, music, singing, dancing, and gazing at the moon and stars
Dislikes: Seeing people in pain, fire, when people do bad things, when people lose hope, sadness, hatred, when people lack forgiveness, having to leave friends behind and loosing them and anger
Hobbies: Singing, wandering around, dancing, meeting new people, and making friends
Phobia(s): Arsonphobia (Fear of fire) Aichmophobia (Fear of needles or pointed objects), Achluophobia (Fear of darkness), Catagelophobia (Fear of being ridiculed)
Skills: Singing, making depressed people more calm and sheâs intelligent. However, she is extremely bad at cooking. She always spaces out and forgets about the food and She isnât good at anything that requires competition, because sheâs not very competitive.
Powers: These must be relevant to the gemstone and its folklore and legends. Lapis uses her voice to control water and heal people. Her healing powers are a lot stronger than her attacks.
Fighting style: Lapis is fairly fast and has a really good defense, but her offense is extremely lacking. She lacks upper body strength. Mainly, Lapis stays in the back-lines when she fights and uses her song magic.
Personal History: At least three paragraphs please!
When Lapis was born, her parents abandon her at an orphanage, because of the gemstone that was imbedded in her face. The doctors could not remove it and her parents were extremely afraid of her. Normal children are not born with a gemstone at all, let alone attached the their bodies!
Orphanages where no place for children. They were forced to work hard every day and were constantly told how useless they were. Occasionally one of them would get adopted, but for the most part they were stuck in the horrible place for life. Fortunately, it wasnât hard to form friendships with the other children there. Lapis and her friends all had secret meetings where they would teach each other things as most kids their age would learn. Each of them made a group effort to learn as much as possible and it was a huge success. At 15, the age where everyone has reached adulthood, each of them had to leave the orphanage and find jobs. They learned so much together that they were smarter than most children their age and they all made friends really easily. All of them were given a slip of paper describing where they would go to work(And the conditions in these work places were like sweat shops). Those before them who hadnât ever learned to read were forced to wander until they died, found someone desperate to get married or were saved by someone who felt sorry for them. If anyone was feeling bad enough, Lapis would sing for them, because they all thought of her singing as beautiful and soothing. They would write lullabies for her to sing for each individual in their clique.
Through her group of friends at the orphanage, she gained dreams and self-confidence. They were such a huge support system for each other that they all became stronger than any orphans who had left the orphanage before them. Every day they would convince each other they were all special and worth something. After that, they would discuss the dreams they all had.
When it came time for her to leave, she never did go to the job that was written on the slip of paper. She felt that there must be something better for her in life. Maybe she had a purpose. For a while, Lapis kept wandering. She learned about what she could and couldnât eat that she could find in nature.
One day, a very wealthy woman found Lapis wandering around. She immediately saw the ragged girl as a beautiful gem in the rough. The woman knew that if she took her in, the girl would be perfect for her family. The woman recognized Lapis as a very graceful girl already. She knew that the girl before her had to have talent.
See, the wealthy woman felt very poor. She could not give birth to a child. She and her husband were afraid that their wealth would die with them, vanishing. They want a child to inherit the money and do something good with it.
Lapis wanted to know if this woman was her key to finding her purpose. So, Lapis fallowed her. She stayed with the woman and her husband. They bought her singing and dance lessons. Both of her teachers saw a lot of natural talent in Lapis. The singing part was because she had been singing her whole life. She learned she had special powers when she hummed to herself as she did her chores at the orphanage. She learned that she could control water as she scrubbed the floors. She had to sing specific tunes to do specific things. Lapis learned she could heal when she found an animal hurt and frightened on the ground. She wished so much for it to get better and she sang to calm it down. Right in her arms, the animal healed.
With all the lessons, Lapis not only learned how to sing and dance better, but she learned to control her powers better. It made sense to her that if she could control her voice, she could control her powers that relied on her singing.
Although she never became close to her new found family, they were very kind to her. Lapis knew that these people only wanted the best for her. However, a year after they took her in, they vanished. No one knew what had happened to them and Lapis was very devastated. Through this, she learned to stay calm even in some of the most hopeless circumstances.
In the village nearby, someone had a note from her parents addressed to her. The note apologized for their sudden and mysterious disappearance and granted her all the money that they left behind. Lapis took half of it, which is still twice as much as most people ever earn in a lifetime, and left the rest for the couple when and if they ever returned. In her room, she left a note for them. She promised to return one day and explained that she felt that there was something she must find for herself. A purpose.
Several times Lapis has stopped in villages, towns and cities to rest. She often makes a few friends in each place. However, since she travels so much, the friendships donât last for very long.
No matter where Lapis was in life, be it the orphanage, her âparentâsâ or through wandering, there were always animals there to comfort her. When she was lonely at the orphanage and she went outside to sit and mope about, a little rabbit always curled up beside her and kept her company. At the coupleâs house, it was a tortoise. On her travels, the animals varied, but they all are remembered and have a place in her heart.
