Character Profile: Sarah Lichen
CHARACTER THOUGHTS
When creating Sarah, I wanted to have a character that was a little more "grounded in reality." Sarah, like many of us, isn't from some esteemed background or blessed with incredible power/wealth. She's just a slightly above average girl that has endured a number of struggles throughout her life, especially when it comes to her family and upbringing. Her deep hatred towards people in high positions of power somewhat echoes a lot of the issues many have in the real world, at least in regards to the overall level of exploitation we may face on a regular basis. We can often find the sheer difference between them and us common folk to be quite unfair and Sarah's overall design philosophy is built upon this mentality.
With this in mind, her addition to the team was an interesting one because her and Carmen's backgrounds are so vastly different. In most circumstances, there is no way a filthy rich princess from the wealthiest nation would understand the struggles of someone so dirt poor. Even Rivell, while not rich, can't really understand just how bad Sarah had it in Arista. The gap between them is so large and yet, it seems to work.
Despite these various contrasts, they compliment each other quite well and provide support in their own ways. Well, at least until Sarah calls them a bastard for eating the last veggie skewer haha. I swear that mouth of hers will cause some serious problems aha.
