Malachite

"Malachite" is the fusion of Jasper and Lapis Lazuli. She first appeared in "Jail Break".

Appearance
Malachite is massive, nearly equal to Sugilite. She possesses six arms, four of which function as legs. She has four eyes and pointed teeth. Her hair is a light mint-green color, and is styled in the shape of a star. Her skin is sea-foam green with dark-green stripes, with a pattern similar to Jasper's. She has two torsos joined together like a Centaur. Her upper-torso and arms are longer and more slender, while her lower-torso and four limbs are more muscular. The upper-half of her outfit is dark-green and black, resembling Lapis Lazuli's top, but is solid at the back, with no ribbon. Her lower-half resembles a one-piece swimsuit, and is mostly black with a green V-neck collar that connects to form a Yellow Diamond emblem.

Personality
Due to being a fusion, Malachite's personality is a twisted combination of both Jasper and Lapis' character traits. She is very unstable, acting as if both Gems have independent control over her body. Once formed, she was shown as having Jasper's disdain for the Crystal Gems and wishing to see them destroyed, but Lapis' consciousness was later shown to be the most dominant, as she was able to overpower Jasper's. In "Chille Tid", Lapis is shown to be struggling to maintain her dominance over Jasper, with Jasper occasionally gaining control if Lapis is distracted.

Abilities
Malachite possesses standard Gem-abilities, including weapon-summoning, bubbling, shape-shifting, fusion, regeneration, agelessness, and superhuman strength/durability.

Trivia

 * Malachite is the first Gem to not be called by name in the show itself, with her name first revealed in the credits. She is first called by name within the show in "Chille Tid".
 * Malachite is similar to Alexandrite, in the fact that she did not have her own personality, as Jasper and Lapis Lazuli immediately began to fight one another.

 * Jasper seems to have more control over Malachite's body, while Lapis Lauli seems to have more control over her hydrokinesis. This is seen in Jailbreak, when she struggles against the water chains, and referenced in Chille Tid when Lapis Lazuli mentions holding Jasper down with the weight of the ocean.
