Sapphire (Leggy)

== Appearance ==
Sapphire is a short gem, standing at 3'3" and weighing only 68 pounds. She has light baby blue skin and soft periwinkle hair that is tied back into a poofy bun on the back of her head with a blue ribbon. Unlike other Sapphires, Sapphire doesn't seem to have an attire that is in anyway similar to those of her gem type, ditching every sense of formality that they commonly possess for her easy-going clothes. She wears a tight-fitting leotard, the top portion of which is a light blue and the bottom portion a much darker cyan color. Over that, she wears a white tank-top and blue boots with matching gloves. Her gem is located on her right thigh, and has a single triangular facet.
== Personality ==
Considered to be slightly "defective" by some standards, Sapphire isn't the quiet and formal gem that she was made to be. Joyful and exciteable, Sapphire maintains a very happy demeanor and optimistic outlook on all situations. She is quick to make friends and easily keeps them, making her a widely-loved gem.
== History ==
Sapphire is one of the newest batches of sapphires, but she is still rather old by human standards. She was made in one of Homeworld's exclusive kindergartens, and was assigned to Blue Diamond when she came out. She now works as an advisor to Blue Diamond; however, Blue Diamond often gets annoyed by Sapphire's happy attitude and constantly sends her off sending messages and doing busy work to get her away and busy.
== Abilities ==
Sapphire possesses standard gem abilities, such as bubbling, agelessness, and fusion among others. 
=== Unique Abilities ===
* Future Vision: Sapphire has the ability to foresee possible futures and observe what may happen. As knowledge of the future invariably causes that future to change, visions of the future are subject to frequent shifting. While not being able to select futures or travel through time, these visions may assist in possible courses of action. Some visions may be set in stone whether or not you see them, others may happen only if Sapphire selects a certain course of action. 
* Cryokinesis: Sapphire can create, shape and manipulate ice, water frozen into a solid state and appears naturally in forms of snow, hail, icicles, ice spikes and candles, glaciers, pack ice, frost, and polar ice caps, and cold by reducing the kinetic energy of atoms and thus making things colder, for various effects and combinations.
* Levitation: Sapphire can cause herself/subjects/objects to hover/float in the air unassisted, allowing her to carelessly float in the air and prevent their bodies from making contact with the ground below.

== Gemology ==
* Sapphire is the traditional birthstone of September and is the zodiacal sign of Virgo and Libra.
** Historically, it was the birthstone of April.
** Sapphire is the national gemstone for the United States and Greece.
* Throughout history, sapphire has symbolized truth, sincerity, and loyalty.
** In times of antiquity and the Middle Ages, the term sapphire referred to lapis lazuli, but in the early nineteenth century, the description and definition of sapphire were changed to the corundum variety we know today.
* Sapphire is typically very durable and considered to be one of the hardest materials on Earth.
* Sapphire is a member of the corundum family and is closely related to ruby; the red to pink-red gem-quality variety of corundum.
** Most corundum is opaque to translucent and heavily included, suitable only for industrial use, including the production of abrasives used for sandpaper and machining of metal, plastics, and wood.
** Corundum itself is not a very rare mineral, but gem quality corundum is exceedingly rare.
** Since Ruby is a member of the corundum group, it is closely related to sapphire and thus shares some properties, such as hardness, composition, and double refraction, with sapphire.
* While blue is the most traditional and classic color for sapphire, sapphire is found in a variety of different colors.
** Sapphire colors are best viewed under natural daylight. In an artificial or incandescent light, sapphire colors can appear darker and inky black-blue.
** Sapphire colors are a result of trace impurities. Impurities for Blue Sapphire are Iron and Titanium.
** Sapphires that are not blue are often referred to as fancy sapphires. Fancy Sapphire is typically traded using color-specific names, such as yellow sapphire, green sapphire or purple sapphire.
** Some famous sapphires include the Rockefeller Sapphire, Burma Blue, and the Star of Asia.
