## **PERSONALITY**

Sarah at times is very misunderstood and can come off as stubborn, and bold. Sarah is the type of person who fights for what she believes in and is willing to die in certain instances for a cause. She is intelligent and shows that she has various skills when it comes to journalism. Christina pushes Sarah to Alicia’s direction due to her nature and her persistence mirroring Alicia’s persistence when she is on a trail for a story. Sarah does not really pick up the idea of

investigative journalism until surprisingly turns down the story about a vigilante in a mask: Patriot saving her in the city. While ordinarily, Alicia would have jumped at the opportunity she declines and kept her motives secret. Sarah would continue to push at the story until she decided that if Alicia would not pursue it then she would do it herself. Breaking herself into the journalism scene, she fell in love for it head over heels. She started having a friendly competition with Michael. Usually teasing him when it came to stories despite them sharing a byline at times Sarah would make comments on her name coming first in the byline. “I never cared about the byline I just liked messing with you it’s kinda our thing.” Sarah is not the type to let something go and usually driven to the point where she is often in danger. Despite her constantly, landing herself in hot water Sarah is far from being a damsel in distress and is capable of taking care of herself going as far as to save herself a few times without Michael’s help. She is easily a woman that can do both be a beautiful woman, while still being tough and at times brash. When it comes to her personality Sarah is someone you want in your corner but not someone you want working against you. As time progresses Sarah becomes more skilled and learns how to better investigate for stories. She typically spells words wrong when typing her reports/stories, makes excuses for it, and hardly ever admits when she is wrong.

Sarah tends to not always face her emotional turmoil of emotional issues head-on and tries to at times mask it and pretend it is not there. It takes time for Sarah to realize that she has feelings for Michael despite it being obvious to others she keeps it secret and conceals her true feelings for nearly a year playing off the idea that they are just close friends. It is almost as if Sarah tries to believe that she does not have the feelings she does for Michael. Sarah likes getting under Michael’s skin and often displays that by her sometimes out of the way comments and sometimes does things earlier on to get a reaction from Michael. When they lived together, Sarah was down the hall and Michael and they would race to the bathroom as an ongoing gag. She would also do petty things like leave a coffee mug right after Michael washed the dishes and despite her doing this kind of things she does it in a charming manner. Christina is the first person to notice that Sarah has feelings for Michael and that there is more to the playful witty banter and the getting under his skin. Of course, Sarah denies it until the end. While she often acted as though they did not like one another, Sarah was always there when Michael needed someone to listen and often gave advice that was never asked and sometimes “not the best advice” which only adds to the comical aspects of her interactions. She would give the best advice when she was not trying and out of a sea of bad advice, there would be that one thing that would resonate with a person. Sarah is strong and independent but not afraid to be vulnerable and dependent on the person she cares for. Brutally honest at times and demanding “bossy” even but she does it in a way that makes her appealing. Capable, funny and jumps to conclusions at times. She is sarcastic especially when she is jealous of Michael giving another girl attention, making comments about the girl and being extremely harsh. When confronted she would also deny speaking from an emotional point and that it is more for “his own good. Sarah usually hides her jealousy in sarcasm and less than savory comments. A natural-born leader that has had a tougher upbringing due to her father being someone that worked as one of the heads of the E.Y.E. alongside Amanda ‘Thorne’ Hawthorne he was hardly ever around and after the death of their mother she was forced to grow up faster than the normal teenager helping to take care of her sister. The two would become estranged and distant due to her upbringing. Sarah harbors a lot of resentment towards her father and has a hard time facing her mother’s death. Stephanie DiBella and Sarah have a complex and relatively strained relationship. After Stephanie visits her and Sarah, gets into an emotional argument about Stephanie having skewed memories of the “good old days”, Sarah stated that her father was never around that she was there when no one else was. Her father seems to be a sensitive topic when it comes to Sarah and always gains some type of emotional response. Sarah and Stephanie manage to mend their relationship but when it comes to her father, they slowly try to mend things when they leave off.

In both the comics and the TV series’ Sarah wears a necklace with her initial on it that she wears religiously. Her S necklace is sometimes depicted as blue, or silver. Sarah’s necklace is the ‘S’ letter that Michael adopts as his symbol to remind him of what he is fighting for, Sarah. The S, however, serves as a symbol that Michael uses to inspire people.
