==Biography==
Sarah starts praying for a brave soul when the monster attacks started attacking Esteria. The brave soul turns out to be Adol Christin. When Adol opts to find out the source of the monster attacks, Slaff sends him to see her. Once there, Sarah greets him immediately. According to a legend passed down through generations in her family, when an evil awakens to threaten the people of Ys, a young swordsman will travel across the sea to be the brave soul who will save the land, the brave soul is him.
When a shocked Adol asked about Ys, Sarah explained that Ys is the real name of Esteria and was advanced in culture in ancient times when twin goddesses and six priests ruled it until demons attacked the defenseless land and have returned to war against the population. Just then, Adol overhears the monsters have mounted another attack, before he left, he assured her that he will do what he can to find the cause, she also told him about her aunt Jebah who lives in the town of Zeptik who knows more of the legend of Ys before she gives him a crystal that could guide him.
Sometime after Adol left town, Sarah was attacked by monsters when they've invaded. When Slaff warns her to close up shop, she wanted to work a bit longer when Reah arrives and asks her to rest. Slaff even suggests she head to the church, but Sarah declines despite their concerns.
Slaff then promises Reah that he will try to protect Sarah with his and his comrades' lives. Sarah Tovah was writing a letter over the days Adol left Minea and had performed her duty as a descendant of the priests, but she had weight on her heart and fears Adol may be slain by the monsters.
Just then, Goban arrives to tell her that she should not work so hard, but she tells him that he should continue helping Adol from the shadows. However, Goban assures her that he's resting at his mother's house after bringing back the book of Hadal.
Later during the night when Jenocres distracted the defenders of the town, Dalles goes to Sarah's pad seeking the Book of Ys she had, but she instead tells him that Adol arrived in Esteria and as long as people believe in him, darkness will be overpowered.
This infuriates Dalles who petrifies her as Govan and later Adol witnessed. Prior to the petrification, she entrusted the safety of her Booky of Ys, Volume Tovah, in Goban's hands so Adol can still get it.
Fortunately, the spell placed on Sarah gets broken when Adol gains the power provided by the six books. The de-petrified Sarah watches as Adol ascends skyward.
