**Sarah Nicole Cooper** is the deuteragonist of the *Carl Cooper: Secrets of the Magic World* comics/series and the main protagonist of the *Sarah's Magical World* comics/series. She is the Champion of the Sun of her generation, daughter of Edgar and Diana Cooper, younger sister of Carl Cooper and maternal niece of Minerva and Venus Weaver.

Throughout the series, she gets older with each season/story arc. She is eight in *The Celestial Quest,* ten from *Revenge of the Gothel Guard* to the end of Season 1, eleven in Season 2, twelve in Season 3, thirteen from Season 4 to *Happy Birthday, Sarah!,* fourteen from *Happy Birthday, Sarah!* to the end of Season 5, fifteen in Season 6, sixteen from Season 7 to *The Ending of the End, Part 2* and twenty-eight in *After The Shadows Fade.*

## Physical Appearance

Sarah is shortish, thin and fair-skinned, with long hair of sunshine gold that is often styled differently, blue eyes and a Sun Pendant (with real topaz) on a silver chain around her neck that is actually a locket. She wear several outfits throughout the series, but her signature one is a yellow T-shirt under her mother's old white-and-gold Letterman jacket, a persimmon skirt, white socks and pink hi-tops. Many of her outfits involve wearing her mother's Letterman jacket, which she tends to leave unzipped, as it is a gift from her.

For sleepwear, she wears several differently colored nighties (prior to Season 4) or a fluffy pink knee-length bathrobe (Season 4 and beyond) with matching fluffy pink slippers. Her name is embroidered on the left side of her robe's chest area.

Her tropical clothes mainly consist of either variously-colored and patterned Hawaiian shirts with shorts or variously-colored and patterned muumuus (her signature ones being a persimmon shirt with a pineapple and leaf pattern with jean shorts and a yellow muumuu with a hibiscus pattern) with white-and-yellow sandals.

Her winter gear consists of her letterman jacket, a tangerine knit cap and pink knee boots. She also wears one of Aunt Venus's hand-knitted winter sweaters with various designs and a pair of long pants (her signature one being a tangerine sweater with a large sun on it and blue jeans) or one of her hand-knitted pleated knee-length sweater dresses (her signature one being a persimmon dress with a pink heart on it worn over bare legs with her boots).

In her school uniform, she wears a white collared blouse with a scarlet and white scarf looped through the collar, a scarlet Dragon House blazer with the Solaris Academy insignia, a pleated scarlet miniskirt, white knee socks, frilly white panties and black Mary Jane shoes.

As a cheerleader, she wears the traditional Dragon House cheerleader uniform: a red and white sweater with a dragon graphic, a pleated scarlet miniskirt with white trim on the hem, scarlet knee socks and white shoes.

As an adult, her hair has been cut into a chin-length bob, she has orange lipstick and her nose has lengthened. Her signature outfit at this age consists of a yellow T-shirt under a canary yellow cardigan that is left open, a pleated persimmon skirt and persimmon flats alongside her locket pendant. She somewhat resembles her Aunt Venus, but with slightly different clothing colors and the pendant.

## Personality

Sarah's personality is quite the opposite of her brother's: while Carl is very snarky yet kind, she is kind and caring toward her family with just a hint of snarkiness at times (the latter mostly directed at her rivals such as Gwenog Ravenwaves). Sometimes she may feel like a worrywart because her friends and family are in danger, but this is because she is always concerned about their safety, especially that of her big brother. However, if anyone (Dark Makers especially) messes with the ones she loves, she unleashes her inner warrior and shows her fury, remaining steadfast to the end.

Sarah is also fashionable, knowing many fashion trends and wearing certain articles of clothing together. For example, she thinks she looks cute and academic in her school uniform, cozy and warm in her robe and slippers, and peppy and cheerful in her cheerleader uniform.

## Powers and Abilities

Because Sarah is a witch, she has access to magical powers and a wand, but they are not as skilled as her brother's or aunties', although they do progressively get better. Her most distinguishing magical power is her Sun element that awakened on her tenth birthday when her time as a Champion began, which she uses to destroy foes using her Celestial Bow or heal her allies via her hair (the latter of which she inherited from her mother). She also shows an aptitude for art, which she does without magic (or at least very minimal).

In Venus Nose All, it was heavily hinted that Sarah's sense of smell would become stronger as she got older just like her Aunt Venus, and this is the case in later seasons. As her age increases, her nose lengthens, and the longer it grows the better her sniffer becomes. During her adult years, Sarah's sense of smell's strength has fully blossomed, as evidenced by her ability to sniff where her baby daughter might be.
