[[foldercontrol]]

!!Characters in ''Princess Knight''
[[folder:Sapphire]]
!!Sapphire
!!!'''Voiced by:''' (Japanese)
!!!'''Appearances:''' 50's Manga | ''Twin Knights'' | 60's Manga | TV Series
The titular protagonist of the series. A princess of either Sapphire in the 50's manga or Silverland in the 60's manga. Born with both male and female hearts due to Tink's mischief, she was RaisedAsTheOppositeGender to keep the kingdom out of Duke Duralmin's hands.
----
%%* ActionGirl:
* AdaptationalWimp: Sapphire is nervous yet able to fight after her female heart is removed in the original manga. However, in the 60's manga, she starts out too scared to fight without her male heart.
%%* {{Bifauxnen}}:
* CoolMask: As the Phantom Knight, she wears a mask similar to that of Characters/Char Aznable from the ''Franchise/Gundam'' series.
* DamselOutOfDistress: She is constantly pursued, locked up, and nearly killed at several points in her series, but ''never'' gives up on fighting back. When Nylon comes after her during a siege, she single-handedly takes him down in a swordfight. Later, when she's escaping prison with the help of Friebe, she helps Friebe fight off that castle's ''entire guard''. In ''Twin Knight'', Sapphire passes this on to her daughter, Violetta, telling her when the two are being held hostage, "You can't give in to bad people, no matter how tough things get". In keeping with this trope, she then proceeds to give Violetta extra swordfighting lessons, so her daughter would be better able to handle the upcoming dangers. For the rest of the series, Violetta and her friend Emerald find themselves in various dangers and always set about rescuing each other and themselves.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: When she temporarily loses her female heart and turns into a male, she looks exactly the same as she did as a girl. Played with in that her biological sex never changes.
* EasyAmnesia: She temporarily loses all her memories after she's brought back from the dead.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Her crossdressing earns her a few crushes from oblivious girls, most notably Friebe, who even makes it to the altar with Sapphire before she learns the truth.
* GenderBender: She is female, but has both male and female "hearts". At one point, she loses her female heart and turns into a man.
* MagicFeather: [[spoiler:Her male heart serves as one in the 60's manga. The loss of it initially cripples her with fear, but she eventually learns to be just as brave without it.]]
* MaskPower: During a period when Sapphire was supposed to be imprisoned, she snuck out a secret passage and donned a mask to be the Phantom Knight, who fought crime and oppression.
* NiceHat: She often wears a magnificently large hat.
** She dons it again in ''Twin Knights'', when [[spoiler:she and Violetta are imprisoned and she takes the opportunity to give her daughter swordfighting lessons]].
* RaisedAsTheOppositeGender: She is known as ''Prince'' Sapphire because it was the only way to keep the kingdom out of the evil Duke Duralmin's hands.
* RealWomenDontWearDresses: Averted. While she does her best asskicking while in masculine clothes, Sapphire feels far more comfortable in feminine attire and it's implied that this is the way that's best for her.
* RecursiveCrossdressing: She sometimes wore a blonde wig and a gown to impersonate a girl with a nebulous relationship to the royalty of Silverland so that she could woo Prince Franz.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: In the 60's manga, she, among other things, heads a kingdom-wide revolution to get the women equal rights.
* SweetPollyOliver: Interestingly with no name change necessary.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She's an adventurous ActionGirl, but she also enjoys wearing beautiful dresses and wants to marry [[PrinceCharming Prince Franz]]. {{Justified|Trope}} because she has both male and female hearts.
* TropeCodifier: She codified the "[[{{Bifauxnen}} princely]] crossdressing heroine" trope that was later featured in ''Manga/RoseOfVersailles'' and ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena''.
