Background
Like all Jumis, Sandra was born as Alexandra in the Bejeweled City. After taking over in Lady Blackpearl's stead who left to locate the Sword of Mana, She was appointed as Florina's guardian, the Clarius of the Jumis, who had restorative powers capable of healing damaged cores with her tears. Following the tragic hunting of the Jumis during the search of the seventh Mana Stone, most of the jewel folk died by lessening their energy flow through their core to protect the secrets of their clan. Mages were also after the Jumi's cores due to alleged rumors about them harboring rare mystical proprieties. The remaining Jumi population left their homeland of Etancel, the Bejewled City and concealed the identities.
Sandra left her city with Florina with the intent of saving her from sacrificing herself from shedding too many tears to revive her fallen brethren. She disguised herself as a jeweller named Alex and opened a business in Geo, where she hid Florina inside Pandora's Box in her backstore. In a flashback, Sandra is shown having an argument with Lady Blackpearl who has still yet to find the remaining Mana Stone. The Black knight tells her that the Clarius should remain in the city and shoulder her duties but Alexandrite refuses to cooperate, opting for her selfish reasonings rather than to observe the traditions. She tells Lady Blackpearl of Florina's whereabouts and the latter replies that she must consult with Diana the ruler of the Jumis to revoke her position as the Clarius. However, Alexandrite believes Lady Blackpearl to blindly follow orders and to have no shine to her black core, just like every other members of their clan. She damages her core with her cards before leaving.

Despite the protagonist and Inspector Boyd's best attempts, she managed to kill Rubens and by snatching his core and escaped the scene by riding the town's Cancun Bird.
