The First Lapis Lazuline in White
Human[]
She is described as quite old, but classy.
Magical Girl[]
As a Magical Girl, The First Lapis Lazuline has wavy platinum white hair with blue streaks and ends. At the top of her head, she wears some of her hair in pointed buns wrapped in a black bow. She has a Nemophilia pinned in the middle of her forehead and fringed bangs. She has pink eyes with a violet blue gradient, and light violet eyeshadow.

Personality[]
She is described to have a somewhat cruel personallity by Diko Narakunoin and 0 Lulu. It is also mentioned that she was perfectly fine with Pythie Frederica brainwashing Ripple, indicating her lack of empathy. Despite this, the First Lapis Lazuline does show a form of care for her apprentices. The First Lapis Lazuline cares about appearance, hence why she discontinued her association with Frederica at the end of QUEENS.
Magic[]
Her eyes can see the true nature of things
The First Lapis Lazuline's ability allows her to see the true nature of anything, including people and objects. Her magical ability allows her to see the potential in magical girls, as well as being able to see their future, such as when she was able to foresee the death of one of her apprentices before it even happened. Her magical also results in her having incredible intuition.
Lapis Lazuline III also states in White that when The First uses her magic to the maximum during fights, enemy attacks will never be able to hit her.
Relationships[]
Unnamed Grandchild[]
Old Blue and her granddaughter loved each other, and the two of them became magical girls at the same time. Her grandchild's death during one of Cranberry's exams is the reason why she wishes to destroy the Magical Kingdom.
Lapis Lazuline II[]
Lapis Lazuline II was taught by Old Blue when the former was still known as "Blue Comet", inheriting her name and becoming her successor. Old Blue often sent her to complete errands for herself. After Lazuline II passes away, Old Blue tasks Lapis Lazuline III with removing the memories of The Second from somebody that she had known.
Lapis Lazuline III[]
After Lapis Lazuline II's death, Old Blue mentored a magical girl named Bluebell Candy and she became her second successor, Lapis Lazuline III. Whereas Old Blue had Lazuline II do simple errands, Lazuline III is often sent to do more dirty jobs, such as erasing Miharu Yatsu's memories of the Second due to her knowing too much about Magical Girls and the Magical Kingdom.
Diko Narakunoin[]
Diko Narakunoin is one of her apprentices, training to become the next lapis lazuline. During the events of Black, it's revealed that Old Blue sent her to Umemizaki Middle School as a spy.
Following Ranyi's death, Old Blue prayed for Diko's safety only to later find that she had been brainwashed and converted into a homunculus by Umemizaki's principal, and she ends up having to kill her disciple in self-defense. Old Blue blamed herself for Diko's fate, believing she should have stayed in contact more, and vowed to avenge her disciple but never got the chance.
Ranyi[]
Ranyi is one of her apprentices, training to become the next Lapis Lazuline. During the events of Black, it's revealed that Old Blue sent her to the Umemizaki Middle School as a spy.
Due to her Magic, Old Blue was aware that Ranyi lacked magical potential and that she had flaws in her mental strength. In order to give her a chance of experiencing great growth, she purposefully guided her in a certain way so her magic would be able to break through it's limits. She even went as far as cutting off contact with Ranyi once Snow White arrived at Umemizaki in order to accomplish this.
Unfortunately, Old Blue's magic also caused her to be aware of Ranyi's inevitable passing. Her plan ultimately worked, as Ranyi's magic was able to break through and connect to her, allowing The First to gain access to the school. As her apprentice was dying, The First held her hand and told her that she was the best apprentice she could have, leading Ranyi to pass on with a smile on her face.
0 Lulu[]
0 Lulu is one of her apprentices. In White, she tasks 0 Lulu to help her plant seeds of doubt in Pythie Frederica, as well as help her to take care of a wounded Ripple.
Princess Lightning[]
Princess Lightning is one of her apprentices. The First Lapis Lazuline sent her to the Magical Girl class as a spy. she is also known to glorify her creation as a artificial magical girl.
In White, it is revealed that The First Lapis Lazuline had taken Princess Lightning in after she was created by An Unnamed Mage. The First Lapis Lazuline then had Princess Lightning infused with the memories of Pfle, planning to make her the perfect Princess.
Pfle[]
They are partners prior to the events of QUEENS. Pfle and The First Lapis Lazuline were secretly developing their own technology to create Magical Girls. Pfle paid a large sum of money into their project.
After the events of QUEENS, The First Lapis Lazuline holds onto her memories.
Pure Elements[]
She created the Pure Elements and wanted to use them for her own gains.
Ripple[]
Old Blue has taken advantage of Ripple on multiple occasions. In ACES, she was perfectly fine with Frederica playing mind games with her, although she was disgusted with her cruelty, as long as she successfully assassinated Premium Sachiko. In QUEENS, Old Blue took Ripple in after Frederica's brainwashing came undone. In White, Old Blue continues to manipulate Ripple, recruiting her to assassinate Frederica and tasking Love Lulu with looking after her.
Snow White[]
Having been interested in the Magical Girl Hunter since Cranberry's final selection, Old Blue makes the conscious decision to avoid confrontation with her. To this end, she even altered her own plans and had Lapis Lazuline III seal away Princess Lightning's memories to prevent Snow White from reading her mind.
Upon finally meeting Snow White during the Umemizaki Incident, Old Blue took advantage of the situation to backmail the former into an alliance. The two worked quite well together, with Snow White capable of keeping up with her by reading her mind, causing Old Blue to describe her as "easy to use". Old Blue also noted that Snow White is very much like her granddaughter; never giving up no matter what.
Juube[]
Their exact history is currently unknown. However, Juube regards Old Blue as a "cranky old woman" while, in turn, Old Blue was willing to use one of Juube's subordinates as ransom against her.
Pythie Frederica[]
Old Blue partnered with Frederica during ACES, as their goals were the aligned, though both did not trust each other. In fact, Frederica later noted that they were constantly eyeing each other for weaknesses. Their alliance ended following QUEENS, after which Old Blue claimed to Lapis Lazuline III they should no longer work with Frederica, as the latter's crimes might impact their reputations.
In White, the First Lapis Lazuline and Pythie Frederica are completely against each other, to the point where their surrounding company refers to their conflict as a war.
Musician Of The Forest, Cranberry[]
The past relationship they had is initially unknown, but it seems negative, as the First wanted to avoid any interaction with the Archfiend Cram School due to their past association with Cranberry. She was also in a Cranberry selection test, which most likely fuels The First's want to avoid the school.
In Red, it is revealed that Old Blue lost her granddaughter during Cranberry’s exam, which is the main reason why she harbors dislike towards Cranberry.
Trivia[]
- Her name, along with the Second and Third Lapis Lazuline are based on a gemstone called Lapis lazuli.
