MENTALITY
Personality:
Being raised by a dragon for most of her life, Saphira is very shy towards and distrusting towards others, but will warm up faster to dragon slayers than others. However, if you break her shell, you will find that Saphira is a very sweet, kind and bubbly girl. She loves it when others smile because of something that she has done, and will often go out of her way to help or cheer up her friends. She is also very loyal and protective of those around her. She will often put others before herself, causing her to often do reckless things that even endanger her own life. She is extremely clumsy and is accident prone. During battle, she can seem cold and very serious, the polar opposite of how she normally is.

She also has a tendency to lead with her heart, though she tries to be strategic, it usually blows up in he face. Like many other Dragon slayers, she suffers from severe motion sickness.

http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Sky_Dragon_Slayer_Magic History: Saphira was born to a poor couple of kind bards traveling around the kingdom of Fiore with a band of traveling entertainers. When Saphira was around five years old, a dragon by the name of Vyaweck who was enjoying a sunny day out strolling in the woods that traced the eastern side of the mountain, she discovered the band, murdered. To this day, no one knows exactly what conspired. The only survivor was a small, female child, severely injured, but alive none the less. Feeling pity for the child, Vyaweck took her back to her cave home in the mountain, and healed her, using Sky Slayer Dragon magic. It took a week before the child finally opened her eyes once more, but her reaction to finding herself in a dragon's lair, with one not far off, was not one you would expect from anyone. Though shy, Saphira was enthusiastic and curious about her new surroundings. She approached the dragon as if she had been a human being and began asking questions one would expect from an overly hyper five year old. This fascinated Vyaweck, as the few who had come across her had either ran, tried to fight her, begged for their lives, or all of the above. At first, she only allowed the child to stay with her as a part of her curiosity towards this scaleless child, but as the time passed, she found herself growing more and more attached and even more mother like to the small child, and soon became Saphira's foster mother. Unable to remember her name, or anything else prior to waking up in Vyaweck's cave, Vyaweck gave her the dragon name Saphira, this only increased the bond between them even further.
As the years went by, Vyaweck taught Saphira Sky Dragon Slayer magic, along side history of the land, and knowledge of the numerous medicinal properties of the numerous plants that grew along the mountain side. She also learned hand to hand combat, but does not use this as much as she uses her magic. As Saphira's knowledge evolved, so too did her wondering of her own race, as she had figured out long ago that she was not a dragon like her foster mother. On her eighteenth birthday, or at least the day that she had woken up from her coma(which they had dubbed as her birthday), Vyaweck took Saphira down to Ebel, in order to experience what she had been missing out on. Saphira loved it, and was encouraged by Vyaweck to start her life among those of her own race. But Saphira refused. Three years later, Saphira approached Vyaweck and asked if she could return to Ebel, permanently. She wished to help others with her magic and join a guild. Though saddened, Vyaweck agreed to let her foster hatchling go, as long as she promised to visit from time to time. Before she left, Vyaweck gave her a necklace of one of her beautiful white scales, which Saphira had always admired as a child, so that she would not forget that, no matter what, she was always a dragon at heart. And with that, a teary eyed Saphira set out alone, to Ebel. When she arrived at the guild, she was happy, she could finally help others with her magical gift. She has been with the guild ever since.
