Sapphire was no ordinary girl. She grew up in Atlantis with her sister Mera, her father King Nereus, and her mother Cordelia. Mera had powers like her older sister but only could control water, sapphire could control all the elements. Not long after King Orvax sacrificed Queen Atlanna to the trench for having an affair with a surface dweller and having a son, he killed Mera and Sapphire's mother because of her connections with Queen Atlanna and helping her with her secret. King Nereus was devastated and it took Mera time to cope. However, Sapphire was furious with the king and Atlantis itself for letting this happen. Her anger turned into a fiery rage. Her eyes glowed orange and her hair like fire. Sapphire set the kingdom ablaze. Of course, since the kingdom was underwater this was proven difficult for her to accomplish, but with her powers she had of the elements, she was able to drain the water for a short while and watched the palace burn. Once the water returned to normal and put out the fire, sapphire swam as far away from the kingdom as she could.

As the sun rose, she stepped out of the ocean and onto the beach. Still in her Atlantis clothing, A skin-tight dark blue suit, much like her sister Meras green one. She stood with her feet just barely in the water as the waves crashed against the shore, she turned to face the water and the sky was dark orange and yellows...much like fire. She sat down on a rock near the shore of the beach, watching the sunrise and heard footsteps on a dock nearby. An older man with a beanie cap, a flannel, and a coat walked down the dock and stood at the end of the pier. Moments passed by as she watched him until a young boy with long dark brown hair, a few tribal tattoos, and amber eyes ran down the pier towards him. This young boy looked like the description of Arthur Curry. The half-human half Atlantean boy and the reason her mother and Queen Atlanna is dead. It wasn't until the older man called him Arthur that she knew it was him.

 Arthur turned to see me standing there  "Hey! Who are you?"  he yelled running towards me, but I quickly raised my hands and created a wall of water running in the opposite direction as it crashed to the beach. "Who was she, how did she do that? Arthur said with pure confusion.  "I'm not sure my boy" Thomas, Arthur father says as they walk back inside

SEVERAL YEARS LATER

Sapphire has been helping the town with crime and saving people's lives. Apparently, Arthur was up to the same thing. She saw him in the news a lot and the people have called him Aquaman. For years sapphire has managed to avoid Arthur at every crime scene or situation...except this one.

Sapphire was enjoying a drink at the bar when on the tv came the news, of a strong fire on a couple of boats in the marina, she finished her drink and slammed her drink down on the bar, tied her hair up in a messy bun, and went to the scene. "The Elementalist is here!" was being screamed by just about every person that had gathered on the dock watching the boat in flames. A young mother approached me and had tears in her eyes. "My child is still on that boat...please saver her!" she begged as she grabbed my arm. I pulled my arm away and walked towards the boat that was on fire, I heard the child screaming below deck. I raised my hands up to the sky, to bring water onto the boat from the ocean. This put out the majority of the flames except for the ones in the cabin. I walked down there prepared for the very worst but the child was very much still alive. I kneeled down next to her standing in the flames, I held my hand out and swiped over them and they returned to my hands.  "Its okay little one you are safe now," I say as I hold my arms out for her to crawl into, she nods to me and crawls into my arms, I pick her up and place her on my side and I take her back to her mother on the dock. Everyone cheers as the child run to her mother. "Thank you so so much" she exclaimed. "Of course it was no problem..be safer okay?" I say as I walk back to the end of the dock, behind me I hear a thud. This can only mean one thing. Arthur Curry has just appeared.  "It's you..." Arthur says sounding shocked. " Your a little late Aquaman," I say as I roll my eyes. " Your...your that girl from the beach all those years ago when I was young," he says stepping towards me, my back is still facing him. "I have no idea what you are talking about," I say and dive into the ocean and blast off so he can't get to me. Right after I jumped Arthur dove in after me but I was too quick. "Damn It ... I need to learn who this woman is!" He says in defeat
