Sapphire

Appearance:

Sapphire is a white mare with swan-like wings and a silver horn.

Fictional Character Biography:

Sapphire is the leader of the Guardians, a species of Unicorns charged with maintaining the Silver Glade and protecting the children who inhabit it. She is also the leader of the Unicorn Council, a select body of Unicorns whose job it is to identify and neutralise threats to their own species.

Originally linked to Ciara, the arrival of Jessica Bannerly forces Sapphire to choose between the Children of the Glade and her own species, putting her in conflict with Thunderblade, a stallion who hopes to usurp her leadership for himself. Ultimately siding with the humans, Sapphire blends with Ciara in order to penetrate Black Hollow and rescue Jessica before it's too late.

Personality:

Sapphire possesses the qualities of a leader: she is headstrong, powerful, independent, caring, protective, and willing to listen. Very few things upset of distress the inherent Queen of the Unicorns. Sapphire is a loyal friend, as well as a loyal Unicorn, which causes conflict when she must choose between her human friends and protecting her own species from the threat of the Thracian Unicorn.

Despite this, Sapphire's only true source of conflict is her rival Thunderblade, who seeks to undermine her authority and usurp her position for himself.
