Princess Sara Mysidian is the princess of Mysidia, a nation renowned for its magic prowess. Sara herself often skimps on her duties, preferring to escape the confines of the royal palace to adventure about town. She encounters Shogo Sasaki and his party as she looks for her gaelicat Lukahn, that had recently escaped and promised to allow them to look in the Mysidian library for the info on the mythical spell Raise if they helped her find Lukahn.
Finding the gaelicat on top of a clock tower attempting to craft wings for himself, Sara rushed to his side but was quickly threatened by the Magus Sisters. Realising they could not defeat them and noticing Lukahn's nature, Shogo pushed Sara off the building with the gaelicat casting Float, allowing them to survive the fall.
Once in safety Sara found Shogo and his party arrested, mistakenly thought to have aided the Magus Sisters as terrorists. While she persuaded them be freed temporarily, they were once again arrested and taken to be executed without trial. Sara however confronted her father, king Alus Mysidan the 36th, at the execution and claimed her right to become next in line to the throne as king and cleared Shogo's party's names.
Sara herself participated in the various battles with the Magus Sisters and the Calcabrina dolls in their attempt to steal the Lunar Curtain, a treasure that once belonged to the first king of Mysidia, Alus.
Sara resolved to help destroy the stark class divide that permeated through Mysidia.

;Who's Who
;Princess Sarah
:CV: Brooke Lyons / Harumi Ichiryusai
:Age in Grymoire: 21
:Notes: Determined ruler of Cornelia / Elegant, kind, and polite / Disguises herself as a commoner to visit town
;Streetwise Sovereign
:Princess Sarah isn't one to warm a throne. The princess is convinced the only way to truly know her people is to walk among them.
:One moment she's sneaking off into town; the next, she's rushing off to some battlefield. It's so compulsive that even she surprises herself with where she ends up. The brigade captain shadows her on these excursions to ensure her safety, but she has yet to realize it.
:As for Princess Sarah's "disguise", well...she isn't fooling anyone. What she considers common clothing is actually quite fine; between that and her refined speech, she sticks out like a sore thumb. Still, the Cornelians do their best to humor her. What a warmhearted and considerate people!
;Summoners and Early Cornelia
:Legend says that the founder of Cornelia was a summoner, but Princess Sarah has inherited none of those abilities. Not that surprising, since in Grymoire, and especially among the Lilikin, such powers are rarely passed along family lines. In most cases, a summoner is chosen by an esper who recognizes her worth.
:Records show that after Cornelia's first age, no summoners have been born in the kingdom. As a result, the guardian and familiar of the kingdom itself, the Lute of Ragnarok, has lain in a deep sleep for generations.

The name Sarah appears within a list of unused playable character data within Final Fantasy VI game's data. It is unknown if it would have been the name of a princess or not.
Despite not being a princess, Serah Farron from the Lightning Saga uses an alternative form of the name Sarah. Her Japanese name spelled the same way as the dummied Sara from Final Fantasy VI. Serah's role in Final Fantasy XIII and Lightning Returns is also similar to the Princess Sarah in the early games, a non-playable character that needs to be rescued.
The name of Fina from Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is a short form of "Serafina", and also plays on the term "Final Fantasy".
