Description
Sapphire is meek, shy and is generally self-effacing and soft-spoken. She believes that peace and kindness are by far the strongest tools living beings have and will try to reason with even the most evil of creatures if it will prevent a battle. She's a very small kobold, standing a mere 2'1'. Her physical strength is lacking and her weight is a laughable 20 pounds.

Sapphire's best strengths lie in her powers of healing and negotiation. If a battle is inevitable, she enters combat with regret (though no hesitation) for the lost chance to prevent bloodshed and will avoid killing unless absolutely necessary. She has even been known to heal those whom she has defeated if there is any possibility that their spirit can be salvaged.

But if you think any of this is an excuse to cross her, there are some other things you should know. Sapphire is a powerful cleric and a bishop of the church of Sarenrae. Using her divine powers, she has overthrown demons, devils, and even had a hand in destroying an ancient, nameless god of pure evil. She has powerful, loyal allies (including the goddess herself, who will swear divine retribution if one of her clerics is killed in service of her) and carries a magical sword in the Goddess' image; wielding it in a deadly fighting style of spinning dives and lunges that make her relative physical weakness a moot point. She has an almost unnatural amount of willpower and her size, speed, and natural armor make trying to physically harm her a very difficult proposition.

Though her sword and her magical power of choice have the power to deal damage without killing, she will not hesitate to perform a lethal coup de grace to finish an evil that is beyond cleansing once and for all. She has befriended dragons, Paladins, Clerics, warriors, and even a lich in her travels and people take an almost instant liking to her wherever she goes in spite of her species. As a result, she'll almost never be alone in her travels.

As someone who is also a capable Warpriest, she has also been known to take on an angelic form in fights, igniting her magical blade with the heat of the sun with hardly a thought.

Basically what I'm saying is, if you somehow managed to get on Sapphire's bad side, YOU DONE FUCKED UP.

So, you might think that her golden color is a part of her transformation in this picture. But surprisingly, that is NOT the case! You remember this picture: ryusuta.deviantart.com/art/Sap… where I said there was an alternate version? Well, a gold-scaled version IS that alternate version. At a certain point in Sapphire's travels, she opts to allow her scales to become a golden color rather than the blue she was born with. When she goes so, her eyes turn white and blue, effectively swapping the gold and blue coloration. Here is the other version I had made back then: sta.sh/01c39yvucdtz

Anyway, I wanted this picture to be both intimidating and visually pleasing. Sometimes it's hard to find just the right balance for glow effects, but ultimately, I just kinda gave it my best shot.

It's funny, I really sometimes feel guilty talking about Sapphire because I don't want to bug people. but every time I do so, people like to see and hear more, so... I don't know. I guess here it is. I hope you liked this, guys. I put a ton of work into it.

One last note: I was literally IN THE PROCESS of uploading this when I realized I had forgotten her tail and had to go back and add it in. Better late than never, I guess. XP
