Lapis Lazuli is a fictional character that first appeared in the Soulek anime Starline Souls, a reboot of the famed series, Starside Souls. Currently the series is still going as Starline Souls Z Ultima, a divisive tone shift of the show where it’s focused more on combat than characters. 

 Lapis was created in a lab by scientists in order to make the ultimate weapon to counter the corrupt Pale Soul of their time, Cyn, who by now has merged with her true self and corrupted The Lightess herself into a dark god of chaos. Lapis and her crew aboard their ship The Starline travel the galaxy in search of ways to defeat the ascended Cyn and making friends and foes alike across the cosmos. 

 The show has been a massive hit for the past thirty years, however the most recent series, Starline Souls Z Ultima, has faced criticism for aging up Lapis and focusing more on teen to young adult audiences instead of the all audiences the series had been for the past twenty seven years. This has led to a divided fan base and struggling ratings. 

 Despite this, Lazuli in particular loves the show and finds Lapis in particular an inspiration. Lapis is characterized as spunky, resourceful, intelligent, and in the newest series quite flirty with Helmsman Tevren, much to his flustered chagrin. Lazuli even theorizes she was named after the spunky captain.

Yet with a dark side caused by corrupt code in her genetics she has to hold in ‘lest she fall into a dark transformation into a powerful feral dragon which can only be stoped by the power of friendship and bonds. She’s also off and on written as an airhead or even flat out stupid, but this varies from series to series and even between seasons or episodes.
