Star Sapphire is a moniker used by several characters in DC Comics, most notably Carol Ferris, Hal Jordan's longtime love interest. The Star Sapphire mantle is linked to the violet light of the Star Sapphire Corps, representing love. Ferris first appeared as Carol Ferris in Showcase #22 (October 1959).

Carol Ferris initially serves as the CEO of Ferris Aircraft, where Hal Jordan works as a test pilot. Over time, she is possessed or influenced by the Star Sapphire gem, which grants her immense power based on the emotion of love. This often puts her in conflict with Green Lantern, creating a complex dynamic between the two.

The Star Sapphire entity amplifies feelings of love, sometimes to obsessive levels, driving its hosts to act in ways that are both heroic and villainous. Carol Ferris has struggled against the Star Sapphire's influence, ultimately seeking to control its power and use it for good alongside the Star Sapphire Corps.
