Lapis did make mistakes. Out of desperation and home sickness but mistakes otherwise. She did things wrong. She almost drowned Steven and Connie, broke Greg's leg, stole the ocean as a whole, whatever consequences that brought out of screen. She is stubborn and a tad vingative. She is flawed. And, quoting Steven, 'that's what makes her great!''

This doesn't mean she isn't open for redeeming. I feel like she is redeemed already actually but, after being 'set free' (for what 1 month? I mean we don't know what went down at Homeworl) she has done nothing but help and do good things. To the CG... She warned them of the invasion (riskly since it was clearly going to be a suprise attack) and protected them from Jasper. Wether it was a good idea or not thats irrelevant, but she did save them. Jasper... well I like her but she isn't innocent either... in fact less than Lapis. Jasper isn't the only one suffering inside of Malachite, Lapis is too. Why? Because of a choice she made to keep the one who set her free alive. An act that costed her so valuable freedom. The only thing wrong with that is that she is kinda killing Jasper without her consent which... yeah... but this fact doesn't cancel out her sacrifice.

Lapis is a great character, but she definetly did things wrong. The deal is that her recent actions, the ones that count as her character development and current personality, make up for her past desperate actions. She has done wrong things, but not under maliscion, even with everything she did, I wouldn't call her a villain, she's more of a hero than a villain to me, putting herself through all that torture just to protect someone she cares about, even though she didn't have to do that, it's still nice that she did. I honestly do not want people to call her evil or psychotic, she clearly isn't evil, yes I'm aware of that she tried to drown Steven and Connie, broke Gregg leg and took away the ocean, but at the same time I think she's done more than enough to atone for it, she doesn't deserve what she's going through, even though she hates the crystal gems, she still warned them of danger coming and even protected them against Jasper, I hope the crewniverse releases her soon, I'm getting tired of her suffering.
