Sapphire: Xhosa Maiden Faerie
Sapphire is an ethnic faerie. She is delicate and extremely feminine. Her smooth
skin glows with dark amber tones and the tribal ornamentation round her wrists and
ankles are specific to the rural Xhosa culture. Her hair is braided in shiny urban
chic. Shimmering Sapphire butterfly wings reflect the beautiful azure African wildflower
she diligently tends.
She alights gracefully, to rest awhile and to contemplate the infinite floral display
carpeting the surrounding hills. As a fairy she is shyly elusive and typically invisible
to mortals; like the Sapphire butterfly, she will delicately quiver her wings, rising
with elegant poise to flutter to a flower further up the shallow incline.
