Description Name: Lapis

Birthday: July 22
Sign: Cancer

Nicknames: Nerd (Clad), Hoe (Clad), Lappy (Adonis), Ultra (Leo) Note: The rock Lapis Lazuli is used to create expensive blue pigments called ultramarine. Also she's so pathetic to the point that she needs compliments, even from herself, to continue putting effort in life.

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Family: None in particular. Except maybe Leo. Sort of.

Further personality traits: Imaginative, short-tempered, envious, often relies on others at irregular times to re-motivate herself, lazy, oversensitive, skeptical, moody, easily bored by things she isn't interested in but is especially passionate about her goals.

Likes: Reading books/fanfiction/manga, drawing, vanilla milk tea, (Greek) mythology, silence, warm weather, considerate people, any type of encouragement be it reasonable or false, inspiration, chips, shiny things, aesthetics, success

Dislikes: Overly persistent people, ignorant people, prejudiced people, arrogant people, a lot of people in general, come to think of it, stupid jokes/puns, crazy fangirls, being interrupted, wasting time, cold weather, her own undying procrastination (which leads her to become very sleep-deprived almost all the time), being completely ignored, loud noises, constant pressure, failure

General story: Started as an edgy OC that I made at the beginning of high school b/c Vivian was feeling more and more like a sorry excuse for a positive outlook to me. High school fucking sucks and things have definitely changed from middle school, where I at least had quite few good friends to look forward to seeing every day and the attitude all around the campus was somewhat tolerable. Now it's just some crazy kids who are lip-locking in the middle of the hallway like they're purposely trying to show everyone else how fucking disgusting passionate they are about each other. And personally, I wouldn't say that they're above doing just that. Oops, didn't mean to rant there.
Lapis can fly, but due to feeling more lonely and judged by others she purposely wraps her wing up to pretend that she is only capable of walking and to hide the scar, the reason behind the marks she feels regretful and frustrated about and tries to hide all the time. Now, for whatever reason anthro Lapis isn't as self-aware about the scar as feral Lapis and has a better time communicating with others. 
To cope with her loneliness and dwindling self-confidence, she makes up an imaginary friend named Leo to keep herself somewhat sane, who tells her what she needs to hear just to get things done. Basically she's tricking herself into thinking that she's actually still got real friends.

Weapon info: (Exclusive to anthro form) Twin blue daggers with very dull gold edges. By swinging them through the air, timed attacks are set in the empty space. When triggered after setting them, slashes appear where each attack was set as if they were just carried out all at once. The slashes can be triggered anywhere between 4 to 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, they'll all automatically go off. Anthro Lapis carries them in her pocket as a form of self-defense; after all she does secretly dislike a lot of people.

Accessory info:

    Scarf and medallion: Heavily inspired by Pit's scarf and medallion from KI:U. The gold swirls on the length of the material slowly change and move over time like clouds in the sky. The medallion's core is made out of lapis lazuli.

    Bandage: A faded purple cloth wrapped around Lapis's right wing and held together with a small metal clip.


Additional notes: 

Lapis doesn't have any claws on her forepaws; they're all chewed off because she's so stressed out all the time. Also part of the reason why her anthro form chooses to carry the daggers. 

Color palette transition between feral and anthro: 
    light teal scarf --> light teal hoodie
    gold swirls --> gold emblem
    lapis lazuli medallion --> blue star on hoodie
    faded purple bandage --> faded purple yoga pants

Cancer constellation on the right side of her face; is her zodiac.

Since the scars are on the outside of her wing, they aren't visible in the anthro version of the picture, but nevertheless should map over from the example.






Hey, would you look at that. Me deciding that her color palette matches the color of lapis lazuli more than sapphire and changing names accordingly. 
But anyway, I'm glad I finally have an official ref of her, haha~

Felt like "winged cat/dog/wolf" was too overused, and taking inspiration from an angel anyway I thought that I should just go with cat/angel. Judging by her mind, though, the ration of innocent:fucked up thoughts would most likely demote her to cat/demon lol
Hey, at least summer's coming soon. Hopefully you won't see too much of angst-furry too often for a few months.
Wtf. I just realized that my Lapis's personality is too similar to Lapis Lazuli from Steven Universe,,
I just KNEW she reminded me of someone....

Hey wait, if you're an angel, shouldn't you have a halo?

Z0RUAS In reply to Fennebutt [2016-06-20 20:59:49 +0000 UTC]

See, there isn't a written rule that says angels have to have halos...in pictures, angels have come in all sorts of inconsistent forms--as humans, with extra wings, without halos, or cloaked with light...so Lapis decided that the wings were good enough, haha~
