## Backstory

Sara grew up in a small village in a beautiful flower valley in India. Her mother met and fell in love with Sara's father when he was teaching the local doctors medical practices in the village over. Two years after Sara's birth, her father left to go back to America and Sara was then raised by her mother and the rest of the village. The village was very secluded and had a distinct trait of silvery white hair which Sara inherited which kept her origins hidden since people are not allowed to marry outside of the tribe. Sara's mother insisted to the village that Sara's father threatened the life of her and Sara if she were to reveal his name, so gossip always surrounded them. Sara would often travel to the nearby village and city to get an education and make a living. Shortly after, she began to educate the children of the village as well. Eventually, a love letter from Sara's father was revealed. While Sara was fetching water, her house was burned with her mother inside. She saw the smoke and tried to put out the fire and rescue her mother to no avail. It was too late as her mother screamed out. By the time the fire stopped, her mom was dead and the only thing left was a torn paper with Sara's father's name on it: Alan Albrecht. The villagers, now knowing Sara's origin, went to finish the job with torches. The image of fire, the smell of flames, the wave of heat coming towards her, and the black ashes left behind were burned into her memory. Sara managed to hide away in a forest near the river and then ran to the city. Sara did some digging and managed to contact her father. She spent the next three years of her life, ages 13 to 16, living with her father in America in San Francisco, California.

Her village worship the cloud goddess Sanjna who is the wife of Savitr, the sun god. It was believed that Sanjna wept every time her husband went away and, through her tears, brought life upon the Earth. One of her many daughters came down upon the Earth and, using her mother's tears and the soul of the Earth, crafted humanity. The village believes that they are the direct descendants of the cloud goddess's daughter. Savitr, the sun god, is known as a jealous but powerful god who is very greedy. He desires to take back every tear that his wife has shed and with it, all life on Earth. Sanjna, though, was an extremely devoted wife and persuaded him to instead imbue humans with more life because they were kin made of her tears and their daughter. In accordance to this, the village were to protect their bloodline as it was the direct line they had to the goddess. Their daughters were to model the devotion to the husband that Sanjna had. They value their hair like gold because the silver glow is said to be proof of the deity's blood and blessing. They also believe they must offer a conquered beast every first sunrise of the month to Savitr so that his pride and greed are appeased. Because of this, women are also taught to hunt and gather just like the men, but mainly as support rather than on their own. This gives rise to a patriarchal society but with less women-hating. They see women as the closest to the goddess of life one can be and therefore emphasize marriage and childbearing from an early age. Men are encouraged to be highly competitive and possessive, but must also hold these women in reverence and respect. Women are treasures, but not always seen as people. The village has paintings of their deities in the cave that is used to enter the valley as well as a statue depicting the two gods in marriage.

Now, Sara goes to public schooling and helps tutor other students. She regularly babysits after school and has become pretty popular.

## Phobia, Bridgefall, and Epilogue

During Phobia, she acted as a motherly figure to Astra and was one of the only things keeping Charlotte and Teagan from punching each other. She had an internal conflict when meeting Pyro because they were hot, but also hot if you know what I mean. After encountering her fear world, she developed the power to turn her whole body into smoke and float around. She used these abilities to choke out the King with her nightgown. She had also gained a slight crush on Hem when bandaging his abs as well as Tsuji, who she gave her number to.

During Bridgefall, she attempted to fight the Puppetmaster, but was trapped in a jar and thrown off of the world.

In the epilogue, she never did end up with any man. However, she did open up a daycare with blue flowers in the garden. She loved taking care of and playing with the kids. She did adopt two children, a now teenage girl named Bridget and a now 10 year old named Phil.
