Malachite

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

Appearance
Malachite is a tall fusion, possessing four legs (which are actually arms, but instead function as legs), and two regular arms. She has four eyes and pointed teeth. Her hair is a light mint green color, and is styled in the shape of a star (the crystal gems' symbol) similarly to Lion and Alexandrite. Her two torsos are that of Lapis Lazuli's, but darker, and her chest resembles Jasper's stripes. Her gemstones are located on her nose and back.

Personality
Due to being a fusion, Malachite's personality is a twisted combination of aspects of both Jasper's and Lapis' character traits. While little is known about her, it is clear that Malachite shares Jasper's disdain for the Crystal Gems and wished to see them destroyed. However, Lapis' consciousness was shown to be the most dominate as she was able to overpower Jasper's.

Abilities
Like all Gems, Malachite can shapeshift, summon a weapon, and retreat to her gemstones.

Trivia

 * The events of "Jail Break" perfectly coincide with the Malachite's gemology.
 * Despite being a fusion, Lapis appeared to be the more dominant Gem within the fusion.
 * Malachite, so far, has the third smallest amount of screen time in the entire series, after Sadie's Mother and Vidalia.
 * Malachite has maintained fusion for the second longest period of time, after Garnet, despite remaining fused against Jasper's will.
 * Jasper also makes an attempt to defuse from Malachite.
 * Malachite is the first fusion to have four legs, but in the form of arms.
 * Malachite is the third biggest fusion so far, right behind Alexandrite and Sugilite.
 * Malachite may be a metaphor of an abusive relationship.
 * Malachite is the first non-Crystal Gem fusion to be revealed.
 * She was the first fusion in which the Gems that make her are conflicting. Lapis appears to be the dominant Gem, since she was able to imprison Malachite in the bottom of the ocean.Malachite (1).png
 * This is Lapis Lazuli's and Jasper's first seen fusion.
 * Malachite was sent to the bottom of the ocean by Lapis Lazuli to prevent Jasper from causing further damage.
 * With this said, Lapis Lazuli might now be gone for a long period of time. If Malachite is ever released, she and Jasper would be, too, but in doing so, they will pose an even greater threat.
 * Malachite proved that consent is needed from both/all Gems to fuse when Jasper said, "Just say yes..." to Lapis before they fused. If she didn't need permission, she very well could've forced her to fuse.
 * 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. Malachite's voice also came apart when Lapis Lazuli became the dominant personality and dragged down the fusion.
 * Malachite is the first Gem to not be called by her name in the show itself, her name was revealed in the credits.
 * In "Love Letters", it was revealed that the gems are unsuccessfully looking for Malachite.
 * Ironically, Malachite was pulled into the water despite in reality, Malachite is toxic when submerged underwater.
