The Villain Star Sapphire is one of the most notable villains in all of the versions of The Green Lantern comics. There have been a few people to take to role of the Star Sapphire. Most Notably Carol Ferris, Dela Pharon, Deborah Camelle Darnell, Jillian Pearlmen, Nol-Anj. For this post we are going to focus on Carol Ferris.
Being one of the first people to be Star Sapphire she is integral to the Characters of The Green Lanterns as well as the Star Sapphires. Carol is the only daughter of Aero tech tycoon Carl Ferris, and current CEO, who was the employer of Hal Jordan's father and partially responsible for his death. Carol being Current CEO and long time friend of Hal Jordan hired him to be a test pilot. Carol eventually falls in love with Hal Jordan but Hal being a Lantern couldn't really be with Carol. Carol was, because of her love of Hal\ and her appearance, was chosen to be the next Star Sapphire by the Zamarons.
Once under the control of the Violet Crystal was hypnotized into fighting Hal Jordan multiply times and became someone relatively completely different from the Carol Ferris that Hal Jordan loved. Throughout the comics Carol gains control over her desires and the crystal multiple times and helps Hal Jordan. One of the most notable times she helped Jordan was when Jillian Pearlmen was taken over by the Crystal and Carol fought to defend Hal.
If the presence of the villain of Star Sapphire has proven anything about the Green Lanterns, specifically Hal Jordan, its that their worst enemy and greatest weakness seems to be both showing and not showing emotion. By not being with Carol it allowed her to succumb to the crystal but at the same time by allowing himself to feel something so strong for Carol makes her one of the most dangerous enemies because he will always be holding back and not wanting to fight her.
