* Sapphire bears many similarities to {{an|May}} from the {{pkmn|anime}}. These similarities are also shared with {{OBP|Haruka|CCP}} from the [[Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪]] manga.
*Her and {{OBP|Ruby|Ruby-Sapphire}}'s original names were switched in Chuang Yi's English translation of the manga, possibly to match the names of [[Cross-canon counterpart|corresponding characters]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.
** Both are based on the same {{ga|May|in-game character}}.
** Both are [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s.
** Both chose {{p|Torchic}} as their [[starter Pokémon]].
