Sapphire Birch (Japanese: オダマキ サファイア Sapphire Odamaki) is the ninth main character of the manga series Pokémon Special. Her first two Pokémon are a Torchic and an Aron; she probably got them from her father, Professor Birch.
Sapphire loves to battle and is a tomboy; she has been seen swinging on vines through trees in an outfit made of leaves. However, she does have a feminine side, as she explains to Ruby in volume 19. She is Template:S with Ruby, yet, even after they both confess their feelings, she becomes annoyed at Ruby constantly avoiding the matter. Sapphire made a challenge with Ruby when they met -- they would both travel through Hoenn and meet again in 80 days to see if she could defeat all the Gyms, and if he could win every Pokémon Contest. However, their challenge was delayed when they teamed up to stop the rampaging Kyogre and Groudon and ended up with only a day to beat the final Gym and Contest.

- This Minun was partnered with Sapphire during the Mirage Island training and the final battle. However it hasn't been seen since.
Trivia
- Like her game counterpart, she is the only female rival in the Pokémon Special manga.
- She is the only female Pokémon Special character named after a generation's second version (Green, Silver, and Pearl are all male).
- Sapphire is the only rival whose starter's type is disadvantaged against that of her own rival (her Torchic vs Ruby's Mudkip). However, unlike other rivals in Special, which were all based off of in-game rivals, Sapphire's game basis is also a player character.
- Sapphire is the only character to successfully challenge every gym in her native region. Red and Platina challenge or challenged Gyms as well, however, although Red defeated every Gym Leader in Kanto he didn't earn every badge, and Platina has yet to finish her journey. Silver simply stole every Gym Badge from Johto at one point, but he didn't earn them through challenges.
