Background:
The sole daughter to the King and Queen, she had just celebrated her eighteenth birthday and was awaiting the audious task of finding a suitor when Alberect's forces abducted her father and chucked him to Earth.  Initially thinking he is dead, she not only has taken up the throne at her early age, but also assumed the leadership of the resistance.  It has been both a learning experience and a trying time for her, and she wonders how she'll ever get through everything to see the end.
When she found Eric Krockett with the message of her father being alive, it was a much needed light of hope for her, and has given her a lift of her spirits that may carry her through the ordeal she is in.

Strengths:
{{Charismatic and Beloved Ruler}}  Very popular among her people, Sarah enjoys a good rapport with the public of Vintanos, and she would want nothing but the best for them.  She keeps them in mind when she goes through all the duties and paperwork many a Monarch has to go through, more often than not done personaly with a small group of consolers and confidants.  This applies both with domestic and international matters, as she favors diplomacy with other countries over conflict.

{{Courage}}  It took a lot of guts to take up the throne in her young age.  More guts than what she thought she had, but she knew that the person in the direct line of succession after her, the Royal Guard Captain Nicolas, would not have the best for the people in mind.  It is the same courage she shows when she leads the resistance, at times taking on challenging and dangerous missions herself.  She could stay back in safer areas, but she somehow knew that she couldn't send anyone under her command to any place that she wouldn't want to go herself.

{{Intelligence Gathering}}  What she lacked in personal experience and knowledge of things both domestic and abroad, she made up for by networking.  She keeps connected with almost every business and organization in Vintanos, and keeps touch with various people in other countries to keep her informed on things abroad.
Sarah's network of informats are usually commoners, streatears, and even servants of the ruling and upper class members of a particular country.  In fact, when she has guests, she often disguises herself as a maid herself, so that she can get some intel first hand.

Weaknesses:
{{Emotional and Insecure}}  At age 18, Sarah may not be prepared for the huge task and mantle she had to assume.  In fact, it sends to fray on her nerves and produces crying spouts.  More often than not she has to excuse herself and cry herself out in public, but she does appreciate having a shoulder to cry on, usually a nearby confidant, and of course whenever Eric offers his right shoulder to her.  His left shoulder isn't quite as confortable.

{{Fashion Slave}}  Sarah could remind readers of Padme from the Star Wars Prequels with the many outfits she has on.  Her wardrobe can fill an entire wing and she can practically go all year and not wear the same thing twice.  Dittos with the many styles she can put her hair in.  However, being in the resistance caused her not only to pick a set adventure outfit that doesn't restrict her movement, but also to keep her hair cut short.  This sacrifice prompted her to invest in an assortment of wigs and extensions.
The combination of her dresses and disguises has become a real asset in her spywork:  Her maid and servant guises make her almost unrecognizable as a monarch, and she knows that nobody would realize that the person serving them drinks and food is actually the princess they came to discuss . . . unless they remember what her scent is like, like a certain farm boy wolf from Earth.

{{Suitor Hang-ups}}  Also known as "The Jasmine Factor," after the princess in 'Aladdin' with similar problems.  As a princess at the dating age, there are a lot of other kings and rulers out there that would want to court her.  Unfortunately, she finds herself turned off at each and every one.  They are either to haughty, arrogant, or proped up by their status; have their own selfish reasons behind their courtship that would put her kingdom and her people in risk; or let's just say it:  Some of these royals only date and marry within their own class, and at times there's only one family in that class.  The result?  Some royals are more inbred than some humans Krockett knows.  And making matters worse, there's Captain Nicolas making sure that things don't connect between her and other royals, because when she marries someone, he's no longer elgible for the throne.

Relationship Matrix:

Sarah with Eric:

It started with a case of mutual appreciation:  Sarah appreciative of Eric giving word of her father to her, Eric appreciative of Sarah giving him a place to stay on Maatla.  The two got to know each other better as time goes on, and Sarah realizes something that surprises her to her core.  Everytime she thinks of the kind of person she'd be attracted in, the qualities and personality, the strength of spirit, the humbleness of soul, and the all around friendliness and kindness he'd show.  It usually comes down to this farm boy from another world being that man who fits the mold.  
It eventually comes to no surprise that she becomes infactuated and involved romantically with Eric Krockett, which is cause for some humorous moments with her trying to make Eric more presentable to her class.  It also creates strife with Nicolas, but her position as Ruler gives her the right to date whatever the heck she wants.  That would be enough to keep him at bay, for the moment.

The Second Character Sheet is on who'll become Eric's better half.
