Sapphire lost her mother at age seven and from that point on suffered mild to extreme child abuse till about fifteen which she was unable to escape. 

Other than that though her life was awesome.

At least her abusive father fed her and provided shelter. Robert didn't even have that. Forced to break his moral code and steal to survive, avoiding both the police and the gangs of the city while often times eating food from dumpsters. It's no wonder why he's so thin.
