Justin Saphire

Justin Saphire is a main character in Touch of Magic. He is an SJBS-alumni and star athlete of the track and field team. Justin has a strong determination and bravery passed down through his family's military history and values family because of the rare moments he gets to spend with his during his upbringing. Being raised by a factual single parent made Justin more empathic than the average teen, and he has a good eye for people in trouble, while perhaps not always paying the same attention towards his little brother Chris. 
Justin originally feels intimidated by Seth's arrival to the track team, but soon makes peace with it and his original protectiveness over the time Seth spends with Claire eventually also fades away. When he realizes that they share a secret, and is told about magic, Justin is hurt momentarily before he focusses on the severity of the situation and he states he won't treat his friends any differently because he believes they're good people. 
In his senior year Justin is focussed on securing his scholarship, and finds unexpected help with training from Alyssa Miller. Determined to make his parents proud he aims high academically too. However the death of his parents derail this, and he manages to barely graduate before relocating across the country to live with his aunt and uncle for the summer. Justin suffers from a severe depression during those few months, but with the persistence of Alyssa he enrolls in community college. Eventually Alyssa's support grows into more and they start a romantic relationship. 
After finishing college, Justin returns to Waterfall Creek after 4 years of avoiding it. Upon moving into The Saphire House, the couple's financial issues and the emotional instability of his younger brother trouble Justin and his previous insomnia issues arise again. Justin becomes a financial consultant to Jason and Claire's respective businesses. He grows a deeper connection with Payton as one of the people who keeps an eye on her during her depressive episode. They bond over being orphans and Justin gets asked to be Alena's godfather. 
In his new role, Justin starts to question how his own future will look like. While digging through family albums he discovers Keith Saphire is not his biological father. Justin decides the time has come for a sit-down with Chris, in which he tells his younger brother of his recent discovery and the secrecy revolving Alyssa's lifestyle. Justin learns the lesson that he can not continue to protect his little brother for the rest of his life, and supports his choice to move to Portland. 
Upon the death of May Miller and the destruction of the Millers, Justin world shifts when he finds out it caused Alyssa to have a miscarriage. While he is emotionally supportive, he also seeks refuge in work a lot to try and burry his desire to be a father one day. Claire reminds him he should not have to put his humanity in the backseat, and that he is the human voice in their family. While Alyssa takes over as leader for The Millers 2.0 the couple decide on a family together and Alyssa has a succesful second pregnancy, resulting in their son Damien Saphire. Justin's humble and charitable upbringing come back full circle when he uses part of the Miller's money to start a scholarship fund, named in honor of his parents. 
At his parents grave he meets Neill Davis, and he recalls the name from his mom's journal as the man his mom assumes to be his biological father. When he sees the man is one of the leaders of the hunters that are targeting his new family, Justin is put in a conflicting position. While his humanity is never considered a weakness, and he is by far the human most adapted to the magical world, it is highlighted as he actively opposes his father, even upon the reveal of a whole family that would be willing to welcome  him into their ranks. 
Justin defends Waterfall Creek using his human immunity, and enlists his ex-girlfriend Anna Chang's help in a temporary sollution. After the first attack and the dissappearance of his closest friends, Justin makes a solo decision to go talk to Neill. Justin plays into Neill's paternal instinct by telling him he is a grandfather, which causes Neill to reconsider the attack. Justin is the one who orders Neill not to be mindwiped like the rest of his family, and he gets imprisoned at The Miller Compound. 
Justin and Alyssa eventually relocate to New York to relocate the Millers 2.0 back to the west coast. Justin has a job at Fitzgerald Enterprises for a while, before quits so he can be home with his family, including his five other children Daphne, Derek, David, Danielle and Davina who he all personally trains. He and Alyssa elope while on one of their many business trips around the wolrd.
He is part of The Saphire Family through his upbringing, and a biological but not idealogical member of The Davis Family. Through his family with Alyssa he is also a member of The Carrington Family and has some notability within The Millers 2.0.
