Sarah Williams

Sarah Williams is the main protaognist of the Labyrinth franchise, serving as the main protagonist Jim Henson's 1986 fantasy adventure film, Labyrinth and its adaptations and the overarching protagonist of Return to Labyrinth. 
A teenaged girl with dreams of being an actress, Sarah wishes away her younger brother, taken by Goblins. The evil lord of the Labyrinth Jareth gives her thirteen hours to solve the labyrinth or her brother will become one of them forever.
==Background==
===Personality===
Sarah was a teenager who longed to be an actress, just like her mother. After her mother left her family to be with her co-star boyfriend, Sarah grew embittered towards her father's new family, essentially because of her step-mother and newborn baby brother. She grew tired of her step-mother, Irene, criticizing her and always pushing her to be on dates.
Sarah was somewhat childish, as she still threw occasional tantrums, dressed up and had stuffed animals all over her room and other toys only children would play with. By the end of the film, however, Sarah is seen putting her toys away and learns that you have to grow up but always be a kid at heart.
Joined by four unlikely members, Sarah matures over the course of the film. She remains determined in saving her baby brother, Toby, whom she had wished away without ever meaning it. Meeting Jareth for the first time, she appeared to be intimidated by him and begs him to release her brother. However, when she encounters him a second time, Sarah remains defiant and tells him that his labyrinth is a "piece of cake." After meeting him a final time, Sarah bested him and refused to give into his advances and stated "You have no power over me."
===Physical appearance===
Sarah is fifteen years old in the original film, with long brown hair, fair skin and green eyes. She also has freckles across her face. She mostly wears a white blouse, jeans and boots with her hair down. 
=== Powers and Abilities ===
Sarah has no active magic or powerful abilities, but she is a capable young woman. 
* Skilled Actor: She is a very capable actor, as she performed the last scene of her favorite play, Labyrinth. 
* Imagination: She also has a strong imagination. 
* Strong Will: She is also resistant to Jareth's allure, being able to resist some of his temptations.

===Labyrinth===
===Return to Labyrinth===
By the time of the magna sequel, Sarah was a teacher at a high school after failing to get into Julliard and giving up her dreams because she wished them away. Because of this, Sarah loses all her memoires of her adventures and all of her former friends. However, she has a strong sister/brother relationship with Toby, often acting as his mother due to his strained relationship with Irene (just as Sarah had in the original film). In truth, her dreams were formed in an ablation of Moppet. Throughout the Magna, Mizumi disguises herself as Sarah to torment Jareth, who is eternally in love with Sarah. He plots to be with her again by giving Toby his throne and kingdom (because as the Goblin King, he is prohibited from leaving unless he is summoned). 
Sarah is approached by Jareth, who is in disguise as an old friend of hers. However, Jareth shows her a rather disturbing puppet show of Sarah's adventures, triggering her memories. He takes her to a world of their creation where they can be together for eternity. However, Moppet enters the world and tells Sarah and Jareth the Labyrinth is falling. Sarah convinces him to leave to save the Labyrinth and all her friends.
