Sara Sushi

Sara Sushi is an Electroid Shoppie.

## Description

### Personality

Sara Sushi is the most mature of her tribe, fitting her to be leader. Compared to the other Electroids, she is the smartest and most serious. She treats her sisters like students, but she still cares for them very much. She also has some fairly nerdy tendencies, such as wearing an outdated exercise outfit when she jogs or wearing a mortarboard when she teaches lessons. Her fear of heights is not helped by her habitat's location and she tries to keep it a secret, but is completely unaware that her sisters secretly know about her fear, but they would never dare to tell her that they know.

### Physical Appearance

Sara Sushi has natural pink lips, blush, and eye-shadow. Her long white hair has pink tinsel through it and is entirely pulled back into a straightened ponytail held by two long braids tied into a ribbon. Her bangs are straightened and centered, and she has many streaks of baby pink throughout her hair. On the side of her head is an egg or vegetable flower-shaped sushi ornament and two magenta rope strands. She wears a black sleeveless kimono with a heart-shaped sushi on each side and baby pink lining. The chest has white frill trim and a magenta sailor collar to accent the rope ribbon on the right corner of her waist. The petticoat is white, covered in sakura flowers and petals. She also wears sleeves at her wrist matching her kimono, magenta textured tights, and baby pink heels with a sakura flower on the side and rice on top of the foot.

## Abilties

### Origin

Her tail can act as a taser, which she uses to whip enemies and shock them. It also has the ability to scale any surface. She can also light the end of it like a flashlight.

## Biography

### Early Life

Little is known about Sara Sushi's early life. However, she somehow managed to gain a fear of heights and become the leader of the Electroids tribe at some point.

### First Adventures

At a party, she managed to get kidnapped by the Shopkins, and had to be rescued to help rescue the other Shoppies. ("Calling All Shoppies")

She fought with the other Shoppies over a single Cookironi, eventually Maxing with Pam Cake and Pineapple Lily to fight against the Infernites Max and Cragsters Max. In the end, the Cookironi ended up breaking, but they spotted a Shopkin with a whole box of them, and ended up giving chase. ("Cookironi")

When coming back from a run, she ended up burning her mouth thanks to her drinking fountain being superheated from a lava clog. She ended up going to Bubbleisha to complain, and then got treated to ice cream to help her wound. ("Hot Lava Shower")

She and the other Electroids seemingly attempted to sacrifice Donatina, when in reality, they are preparing for the Electroid Annual Dance Party. The remaining Cragsters joined in, and she suggested they "Mix it up a notch", and the two tribes Maxed. They then had a dance contest between the two of them. ("Electrorock")

At a party, she called over to Donatina and Jessicake to come to the other side of the river, as her Volt-O-Meter was rating the party as "super fun". She was later seen attempting to hit a Ballooñata. The party ended up literally crashed by a Mix, and her Volt-O-Meter decreased to "super lame". ("Murp")

While teaching a lesson on how many Electroids it takes to change a light bulb to her sisters, the light bulb keeping the room lit ended up shattering. While her sisters proved futile in finding a replacement light bulb, she managed to find one, but had no idea how to reach it. She then thought to use the Cubit that Pineapple Lily found, and the three of them Maxed, screwing in the light bulb. However, it did not have enough power, so she plugged into the outlet, flooding the room with light, and overloading the socket enough to shatter the Lightbulb Sun. ("Changing a Light Bulb")

She found herself up against a swarm of Shopkins alongside her sisters. They Maxed to fend off the Shopkins. ("Electroids MAX!")

She was an invitee to Pippa Melon's birthday party. ("Elevator")

### Search for the Rainbow Cubits

At the annual Mix Festival, she and Jessicake Mixed so they could start the festival, but later she noticed that Pam Cake had eaten all of the Hamlogna Sandwiches, so she declared that the other leaders come with her to go on a hamlogna sandwich run. This consequently saved her from being nixed by the Mega Shopkin Shoppie Nixer, but also forced her to go to Shoppie Mountain to retrieve rainbow cubits. She was the most apprehensive to climbing the mountain, but eventually managed to make it to the top and ended up Mixing with Kirstea to stop a Shopkin swarm; bringing color back to the festival, she freed the Shoppies who had become Shopkin zombies thanks to Scarletta Gateau. ("Epic Comedy Adventure")

### Further Adventures

While exercising with Marsha Mello in Shoppie Park, she was covered in slime by the Fria Froyo & Melodine Murp. ("Murp Romp")

Sara Sushi was one of many Shoppie who were forced to outrun the Shopkinstorm and help shut it down. ("Shoppies Rush")

Sara Sushi was one of almost all of the Shoppies who searched and fought for the Mixamajig, and then captured by Crown Jules. She Maxed with her branch of the Electroids in order to defeat her, and Mixopolis was revealed by the Weldos soon after. ("A Quest for the Lost Mixamajig")

* She has a tail which she normally uses to fight Shopkins with, but she can also use as it a flashlight. She is the only Series 1 Shoppie to have a tail. In her Moose Toys set, she is designed to hold her tail like a hose.

## Behind the Scenes

### Basis

Sara Sushi is based on a roll of sushi. It is a Japanese dish of specially prepared vinegared rice, usually with some sugar and salt, combined with a variety of ingredients, such as seafood, vegetables, and occasionally tropical fruits. Styles of sushi and its presentation vary widely, but the key ingredient is "sushi rice", also referred to as shari, or sumeshi. The term sushi is no longer used in its original context and literally means "sour-tasting."
