okay i am actually terrified of the power of Lapis Lazuli
for starters, she was a cracked gem contained within a construct that managed to direct her will through said construct to the outside world
then she was a broken gem that managed to use her powers to make simulacrums of the crystal gems that could stand on par with them
and then, as a healed gem, she held back one of the oldest (that we know of) and most powerful (that we know of) gems in the series as one half of a fusion, exercising her particular powers during the fusion as well as her personal powers
Lapis is the most fragile-looking juggernaut that I have ever had the pleasure to be terrified by
