I think i may have something for Lapis, but its a little far out there. Lapis is always support, as a mirror she was a supporting role, she was used to help find steven and Jasper even used her at one point to.

Lapis is also always shown on the ground a lot, on the beach/her water tower, in her jail cell and i know others are shown on the ground but in every episode she has been in she has been on the ground for long periods of time, The reason for this all links back to her gem, which isn't on her back, its ON HER SPINE. You know the thing we all need to help hold us up and do most thing, your spine is litterally your support, and coincedentally the spine symbolizes ones support system, ones strentgh and ones responsiblitys, all things that Lapis is constintly used for and has a realationship with. She was the responsibility of the Crystal Gems and she was used for extra strentgh by Jasper! To finish off the spine can mean ones conviction to be true to themselve and to stand tall, just like lapis did in the end!

i think the gem being on the spine means one is often very helpful and supportive of others and can really stick up for themselves, the reason why Lapis is almost the oppisite is due to her Gem being broken for so long!
