Sarah Bermudez

*"Hello? Shrekbusters."*
―Sarah Bermudez[src]
**Sarah Amber Bermudez** is the older sister of Jason Bermudez, Tully Grooberson's love interest, and an aspiring artist. Sarah joined Jason's professional Ogre-extermination service, the *Shrekbusters*, becoming the business's receptionist, due to being in financial debt. Sarah would mostly provide the *Shrekbusters* with customer phone calls, with the outside team's brilliant efforts to help these people causing them to become prominently mainstream throughout their hometown of Orlando, Florida.

When Raymond Floyd sought to confront the *Shrekbusters*, his violence towards Jason caused the Ogre Containment Unit to destroy the Bermudez Residence, leaving behind a hellish portal to the Ogre Dimension that caused the Ogre invasion to begin. Joining together with the Orlando Government, Sarah stayed behind while the other *Shrekbusters* got to work to successfully stop the Ogre invasion. Originally supposed to be given complete control over the Bermudez Residence by her mother, Sarah instead moved into the Orlando Firehouse that was gifted to the *Shrekbusters* by Mayor Buddy, due to the house being completely destroyed.

## History

### Early Life

Sarah Bermudez was born in 1994, before eventually becoming the older sister to Jason Bermudez, born in 1998. Both siblings were of Hispanic descent. Sometime later, Sarah's parents divorced, leading Sarah and Jason to move to Orlando, Florida with their mother. Purchasing the Bermudez Residence, a picture of Sarah and Jason sitting on the front porch of the house was hung up on a wall upstairs.

### Meeting Tully Grooberson

*"Man, I remember my senior year, all the goals I set for myself about dating Sarah... They never really worked out--but it's ok because we live in the same area now I suppose, right? Anyways, how's Sarah?"
"Oh, she's fine... without YOU!"*
―Tully Grooberson and Jason Bermudez[src]
Sarah Bermudez entered Melston High School, where she met Tully Grooberson. However, Tully ultimately became romantically attracted towards Sarah, and set up personal goals he wanted to achieve, just so he could impress her. However, Tully's goals never worked out as he intended, but refused to let it stop him from pursuing her. Tully eventually started to express his love directly towards Sarah, but Sarah became extremely uncomfortable with his presence, especially years later after they graduated when Tully moved right next door to the Bermudez Residence. Sarah eventually started attending an art college, only to be paid nothing. She concluded that she deserved a debt of sixty thousand by the time she finished, but struggled to find a job.

### Helping the *Shrekbusters*

*"Okay, something's up. What did you do?"
"Huh? Uh... What do you mean?"
"You're lying, and it's painfully obvious. What did you do this time?"
"Okay, okay-- Well, before I tell you anything... do you promise not to lecture me?"
"That depends..."
"Alright... here is goes... I got expelled for breaking into that abandoned swamp..."
"Expelled?"*
―Sarah and Jason Bermudez[src]

In June of 2016, Sarah received a text from Jason Bermudez to help him create some flyers for a business he prevailed to start. Sarah created several flyers for the *Shrekbusters*, even designing the business' logo. She left the pile of flyers on the kitchen table, before eventually returning to see Jason home from school early. She started questioning what happened at school, but Sarah could tell Jason was painfully lying as he didn't seem eager to talk about it. Sarah promised she wouldn't tell their mother, depending on the situation, but became shocked as Jason told her that he got expelled for infiltrating an Abandoned Swamp. Being told that Jason had no plans on going back, Sarah started wondering what he was planning to do, knowing that he would struggle to find a job, being a high school drop out and all. However, Jason explained to Sarah his plan to create the *Shrekbusters*, a professional Ogre-exterminating business consisting of him, Daniel Coleman, and Alex Rainsford.

Sarah became a bit more concerned as she learnt that Daniel and Alex were now going to be living with them, to which Jason explained that it was the least he could do, since he got them expelled as well, leading their parents to kick them out of their homes. Sarah ultimately decided to accept Daniel and Alex staying in the Bermudez Residence, and supposed they could stay there for as long as they needed to. Jason became satisfied, and revealed his plans to rearrange the furniture in the living room to create a workspace and a gaming area. Jason additionally negotiated to have Sarah be their receptionist, to which Sarah agreed to be, as long as she got sixty thousand by the end of the month. The group later all got together to renovate the living room for Jason's business.

### Receptionist Job

*"Okay, so what now? Wait for a call?"
"Yep! Just gotta wait for a call!"
"Okay, well, that's no happening today so how about--"
"No-no-no, just trust me... just wait..."*
―Sarah and Jason[src]

The *Shrekbusters* waited until Alex returned from scattering all the flyers Sarah made throughout town, hoping to spread word about the business' existence, to start waiting for someone to call. However, Sarah doubted people would immediately start picking up their phones, but much to her surprise, someone did. However, it ultimately turned out to just be a prank call. Sarah then told Jason that no-one else would be calling them for the rest of the day, and offered to make them dinner. However, Jason, slightly disappointed, decided to instead order some *Taco Bell*.

Later that night, Sarah was in the kitchen cooking herself some dinner, when the phone on the receptionist table started ringing. Sarah quickly stopped cooking and picked up the phone, surprised to discover that the person calling was serious regarding their situation. Sarah grabbed a pencil and started writing down the location she was provided. She then shouted to the *Shrekbusters* that they've got their first mission. Before leaving, the *Shrekbusters* were provided the location given to Sarah, which turned out to be the Gaylord Palms Hotel.

### Responding to the Concert Troubles

*"I told Mom about the whole business thing..."
"Oh my God, you actual snitch!"
"She just wants me to tell you to try not to blow up the house."
"I won't!"*
―Sarah and Jason Bermudez[src]

The next morning, Sarah and Alex returned to the Bermudez Residence after purchasing some chicken sandwiches for breakfast. Later, Sarah received a phone call from the Orlando Orange County Center regarding an Ogre sighting, where she encountered Lily Moser, Jason's secret crush that he had told her about multiple times. Unfortunately, Jason became too embarrassed by his older sister, so he rushed out the door so he could get to doing the mission with the others. Before boarding the Shrekbusters Truck, Sarah told Jason that she told their mother about his business, irritating him. However, Sarah stated she was fine with it as long as he didn't blow up the house. Jason promised he wouldn't and left.

### Tully's Return

*"Oh God-- Tully, what in the world happened to you?"
"I was, uhh... I was locked out of my house and I had to sleep outside... Hey, I was wondering... Uh, maybe I could come in and we could hang out?"*
―Sarah and Tully[src]

Sarah was immediately afterwards approached by Tully Grooberson, completely covered in dust. Sarah questioned what happened to him, with Tully explaining that he had to sleep outside last night, having been locked outside of his house. Tully then asked if Sarah could let him inside so they could "hang out", but Sarah instead walked back inside and shut the door.

### Customer Service

Throughout the weeks succeeding the establishment of the *Shrekbusters*, the business became prominently mainstream within Orlando, to the point that Sarah received several calls while working at the receptionist desk. She would then instruct Jason and the other *Shrekbusters* where the problems were located.

### Ogre Invasion

*"Alex, what's going on? Is there a fight?"
"Sarah, I need you to call emergency services, hurry!"*
―Sarah and Alex[src]

Continuing to be the receptionist to the *Shrekbusters*, Sarah was upstairs when Raymond Floyd invaded the Bermudez Residence in his scheme to hurt Lily for ditching him. Sarah was approached by Alex, who told her that she needed to call the police department immediately. Sarah quickly told the police of the issue, before ultimately having to evacuate the house, just as it exploded due to the destruction of the Ogre Containment Unit. Due to her involvement in the incident, Sarah was unfortunately arrested, locked up in a sector alongside Lily. However, Sarah was eventually released as Mayor Buddy prevailed to recruit the *Shrekbusters* to help the city of Orlando in the brink of an Ogre invasion. Sarah stayed back in city hall where it was safe while the *Shrekbusters* successfully disposed of all the Ogres, including Shrek.

### Moving Business Operations

*"Hey Sarah, have you heard from Mom?"
"She moved in with her boyfriend in Michigan. Apparently she planned to leave me the house... but obviously it's destroyed now sooo..."
"Right. Wait, I just noticed. Where the hell were YOU when we were saving the ENITRE WORLD?"
"I stayed back at the City Hall where I was safe."*
―Jason and Sarah[src]

Sarah eventually reunited with the rest of the *Shrekbusters* following the Ogre invasion. Due to the destruction of the Bermudez Residence, Sarah, Jason, Daniel, and Alex started to crash at several motels. Sarah was eventually contacted by her mother, who told her that she moved in with her boyfriend in Michigan and was intending to give her the house, unaware of its destruction. The *Shrekbusters* soon reunited with Lily at a sports bar, where they were approached by Andrew Walsh. Representing Mayor Buddy, Andrew Walsh told the *Shrekbusters* that the Mayor had a surprise for them 10 minutes from where they were. The surprise turned out to be an Orlando Firehouse, which Mayor Buddy gladly gave to the *Shrekbusters* for all their help. Sometime later, Sarah returned to work with the *Shrekbusters*, this time maintaining the front desk within the Orlando Firehouse.

## Trivia

* Sarah Bermudez was originally going to be voiced by Super\_Nova15, a personal friend of ZeonZaeX, as he wanted Sarah to be played by a male voice actor for some reason. He eventually concluded he wanted to have Sarah have a similar accent to the receptionist from *Ghostbusters*, before ultimately landing with GrimlyJeni.
	+ Sarah being established as an artist in the film coincidentally references GrimlyJeni, who is a real-life artist. GrimlyJeni drew several drawings of Sarah and Tully near the release of *Shrekbusters*. She additionally made a drawing of Raymond Floyd vomiting in a trash can.
	+ GrimlyJeni was credited by her PSN username, JEN316, in the credits for *Shrekbusters*. She later stated that film were to have a sequel be made, she would like to be credited as "GrimlyJeni". This wish was granted in *Battle for BFLBI: The Power of Tanner*.
