### Abilities

Emotional Aura- Upon activation, Sapphira is able to detect the emotional auras of others. From the color and appearance of the aura, she is able to tell certain things about people, such as their mood and emotional health. However, she cannot see the auras of more than 2 people at a time, and she must stay in range of them in order for the aura to become clear.

## Personality

Sapphira is known for her disagreeable attitude and sharp tongue, not being afraid to speak her mind. She has no problem with using others to get what she wants, including various forms of deceit, manipulation, and even resorting to attempted murder. Raised with the ideals that everything comes with a price, she loves to make deals and exchanges with people, often slipping out of the situation when things get out of hand. On occasion, Sapphira alters her speech patterns, speaking in a more formal manner or using words that will make her appear smarter to the people she meets.

## Appearance

Named after her sapphire blue eyes, Sapphira takes pride in her physical beauty. Her long hair is always neatly combed and silky looking, and she wears an abundance of jewelry—earrings, bracelets, necklaces, really anything shiny—to compliment her eyes. One piece of jewelry in particular is her sapphire ring which has a hidden compartment that stores a reserve of poison. The gem can be removed to reveal a sharp pin, perfect for discreet poisoning impulses. Sapphira is usually seen wearing garments that are blue in color, particularly longer, knee-length skirts or dresses.
