Sarah

* White Noise Online
* White Noise 2

*Sarah* is a starter Investigator in White Noise Online. She is one of the six Investigators to reappear as a unique character in White Noise 2.

## Description

After playing hide-and-go-seek in her parent's labyrinthine garden, Sarah realized it was smarter to hide than close your eyes when in peril.

### Appearance

Sarah is a tall female with a white complexion. She has blonde hair and brown eyes. She wears a grey-and-white striped sweater with long sleeves. Sarah wears a red vest and a brown skirt. She wears black leggings and bright blue boots.

## Tips

Sarah has trouble catching up with Investigators, forcing her to run and lower her Sanity cap more frequently. Her high Evasion does mean that she won't encounter Subject 23 as often, allowing her to regain Sanity for a longer period of time than others, partially negating her downsides. Sarah should try to be one of the last ones alive if that situation ever occurs, as her Evasion will create a safer scenario for collecting the remaining Tape Recorders.

## Trivia

* Sarah and Kurt share their model with the highest number of Investigators, with three each.

## Stats and Traits

Sarah's Stats
 Endurance
 Exploration
 Flashlight
 Bravery

### Traits

* SHADOW: Sarah can't be detected by Idols and receives no Speed penalties when her Flashlight is off. This trait is disabled in Classic Mode.
* SCAREDY CAT: Sanity is lost 15% faster when further than 15m to other alive investigators.

## Tips

Sarah quite possibly has the most freedom out of any potential Scout character. Her incredible Stealth allows her to split very effectively without being affected by Paranoia, a hidden mechanic that lowers an Investigator's Exploration and Bravery unless if they have at least eight points in Stealth. She still effectively has lowered Bravery when splitting, however, because of SCAREDY CAT.

Sarah's biggest advantage when splitting is her positive trait, SHADOW. While other Investigators only halve an Idol's detection range with their flashlight off, Sarah cannot be detected at all by Idols when she switches hers off along with the Creature not being able to set an outline on her. Her below-average Speed isn't decreased either, giving her many reasons to keep her Flashlight off except in dire situations.

Sarah's skins also play a big role. Her Plain Clothes skin will allow her to find Clues quicker, but makes SCAREDY CAT more of an issue. The Racing Suit skin tones down Sarah's ability to scout, although she will be able to run for a longer time, which is helpful against creatures such as Rusalka. The Farmer skin will make SCAREDY CAT less of an issue, but will still hurt Sarah's ability to scout as her Exploration is lowered. The Autumnal skin increases Sarah's Stealth to the highest it can be without considering Flashlights, although it still lowers Exploration. When equipped with the Jack-o' Lantern and the Autumnal skin, Sarah's Stealth will be above the suggested limit of 10 and her lowered Exploration will be nullified, making her incredibly effective.
