Character
General
Sapphire can easily be described as a loner woman whom spends a little too much time in that shop of hers, evident by the smudges of grease that often accompany her bare skin and clothes and that slight smile of gunpowder that all ways seems to follow her around. Most would be right of course but like anyone else in the world, she has a little more going on for her under the skin than she likes to let on. Other than the dirty, working class look the most notable feature of hers happens to be the stuttering that comes with her voice. If one where to watch long enough they could notice that she seems to make an effort to avoid large crowds for the most part.
Appearance
Sapphire shares a lot of characteristics with the common Highlander Hyr and is as tall as they come. Her tall form comes with a tanned complexion and a muscular build, both gifted to her by a lifetime spent crafting. She normally keeps her hair cut short so that it doesn't interfere with her workings which is probably for the better for she has a habit of never doing anything with her hair and normally keeps it in the messy way she woke up with. The darker hair accents a pair of Crystal blue eyes that seem to peer at everything around her with a look of curiosity and thought. Dirt and grim clutters onto the clothing she wears. Most of them happen to be a miss matched assortment of leathers and thick linens to protect herself from the hazards that come with a job as a craftsman. There is only one set of clothing that escapes this, a rare set of thinner nicer looking cloths that accompany a slightly more kept woman.
Personality
Sapphire is a lot of things. A social expertise is not one of them however. A mixture of stuttering and a lack of understanding social norms makes for one awkward conversation between her and whom ever she talks to. If she feels that awkward tension or not is another thing entirely however. She is normally blunt and too the point and has little use for talking in any other way. Though she many at times come off as uncaring and uninterested that is further from the truth. While she has a hard time meeting and getting to know new people Sapphire is extremely loyal and caring to those she does, showing them no ill-will and treating them with respect. There is little she wouldn't do for them no matter how big or small, legal or illegal. A big thing about her is that she never seems to be one hundred present there her mind wanders constantly and when her speaking isn't short blunt and to the point it's often rambling uselessly until she falls silent lost into the depths of where ever her mind took er at the time only to snap back a moment latter as if nothing was ever wrong.
Combat
General
If there is one thing Sapphire is great at, it's the set up and execution of anything explosive. She has no training in any form of weaponry, fighting style, or magic and often has to rely on what is around her and a underhanded trick or two to give her any kind of leverage or an edge. any straight up fist fight or honorary combat she would simply lose.

History/Timeline
Not much is known about the origins of Sapphire. From what little she gives people only a few things can be pieced together before here sudden arrival in Limsa. She was born and raised an orphan and had spent a majority of her life in and around the working life of various craftsmen and their trades. Anything beyond that she is very tight lipped about, though she does get a little nervous every time the Garlens are brought up in conversation, a small hint that the rumors of her being a defect may in fact be true.
As far as Sapphire is concerned her story began three years ago when she first set foot into the coastal city of Limsa Lominsa. She strolled in with nothing more than the clothes on her back and a small bag that housed a surprising amount of gil. How she got the Gil remains a mystery, mostly because Sapphire refusing to stick to one story but rather gives a different one each time. Each just as exaggerated, and just as amusing. This small fortune she hauled was sunk into the foundations of the small Smithy she now owns, the building, the forge, the tools and supplies, all of it was payed off in one fowl swoop. From then on she remained in that one spot, a small Blacksmith shop among the various others that dot the City-state. It was a simple hard-working life, but she enjoyed it none the less.
But now that way of life is under attack. A man came into her shop one day, not to buy anything but to offer a rather unusual job working for him and his company and though she worked hard to dig herself a little niche in the market of Limsa she is finding herself drawn to this man's offer and the quirky company he runs.
