I doodled a couple of Comic for my theory on Sapphire’s eyes, That being that the reason she covers them is because 1) she has an unnatural third eye because of her future vision and thus is seen as a defect. and 2) Every time she looks into another persons eyes, she sees their futures and typically it’s the bad futures, so she covers them to avoid that.
This caused a bit of distrust between her and Ruby when they were first getting to know each other since Ruby thought that Sapphire’s hesitance to get close to her was because she was afraid of Ruby.Though love prevailed and when Sapphire had shown her supposed ‘defect’ Ruby still loved and cared for her just because she was ‘Sapphire’. Ruby was the first person that Sapphire ever saw a bright future with.
