Instead of PROMO SPOILER being an antagonist...
A lot of people are saying the Bismuth will be less than upstanding, or in some way a villain. I could see it, especially with the Lapis connection. However, there could be another route her arc takes: what if she WAS corrupted with the other gems? Rose found a way to heal them over time, and Bismuth is the pilot program. Or Steven finds a way to heal her in the intervening episodes. (Monster Buddies?) This introduces a few other ways the story could unfold:
-
Her time could be limited. She comes back, gives Steven (and Lapis) a glimpse of the past, but starts degrading. It keeps her from being a perminant addition, and is an impetus/inspiration for Steven to focus on durig the corruption.
-
She isn't fully purified. Some sort of corruption sneaks in, meaning she isn't fully in control. Winter Soldier analogue ensues.
I'm not saying either of these will happen, but just more routes the plot could take.

Or, she's an extremist, the possibility Lapis hinted toward
There nothing that hints that though. At all? She attacked Lapis? That's not evidence. It's a war zone, friendly fire isn't unheard of, and civilian casualties aren't rare. Plus she has some very diamond like clothing.
Not even friendly fire. Lapis was wearing Blue Diamond's patch. Her whinging about how she got attacked out of nowhere by an evil violent gem came across to me as "I was just hanging out on this battlefield in my fatigues that I wear for fun, and this evil dirty guerrilla shot me for absolutely no reason! Can you believe it?"
Hah, yeah you're right. I'd say Lapis was asking to be attacked by standing on a fuckin battlefield wearing the clothing style of one of the two fighting sides.
This reminds me Lapis has been suggested to once be an aristocrat and back before their were things like machine guns and chemical weapons aristocrat used to go out on picnics and watch battles for fun. Lapis made it seem like she wasn't supposed to be there what if one of Lapis friends convinced her to stay and watch.
That is true and possible. However, the fact she directly attacked an innocent bystander and violently attacked her gem while taking pleasure in it is concerning.
She probably didn't THINK she was a bystander. Plus, you're drawing out a lot of information from what was essentially probably a victory smirk.
True. We will know by the end of summer....
