=== Backstory ===
Sapphire was born in Leopon Plains as the younger sister of Arjana. Throughout her cubhood, Sapphire was overshadowed by her older sister, as Arjana was expected to become the next queen of Leopon Plains. Sapphire soon became known throughout Leopon Plains for her optimism and cheerfulness, always managing to help out any animal in need. Under the guidance of her father, Sapphire began to learn about the history and customs of the kingdom, so she could provide help to her older sister during her reign as queen. Upon Arjana's accession to the throne, Sapphire fulfilled the role of royal advisor to her sister, a position she held until the accession of Arjana's great-grandson. She formed a close attachment to Arjana's daughter, Atiena, and taught her about the history and customs of Leopon Plains. Eventually, Sapphire would lose her sister and daughter within a short timespan.
She witnessed the banishment of Ubaya, the father of Atiena's cubs, Ajani and Patch, and the accession of Atiena to the throne of Leopon Plains. Sapphire continued to serve as a royal advisor to her niece, providing her with counsel and support. She also helped to raise Atiena's cubs, and grew close to Ajani, the older of the two. Sapphire also formed a friendship with Janna, a former queen of the Tree of Life, and the mother of Jivin, who along with his brother, Surak, became close friends with Ajani and Patch. As the oldest member of the Tumaini Pride, and the Guardian of Leopon Plains, Sapphire became the main decision-maker within the family, and was the authority on who was allowed to reside in Leopon Plains. Sapphire later witnessed the accession of Ajani to the throne, and his marriage to Ayo, a princess of Grass Walls.  She was overjoyed by the births of Ajani's cubs, Mhina, Tatu, and Kicheko, and later was pleased with their adoption of an orphaned cub named Kopa.
