Background and Personality

     Sarah was tired. Tired of her family telling her how to live her life. Tired of the expectations placed upon her by her friends and co-workers. Tired of the judgement from society. One could say she was tired of life in general. She worked a 9-5 just like everyone else, forty hours a week, moving like a zombie through each day for a paycheck- one that would allow her to continue this same routine with no hope of bettering herself. She couldn't afford college and had no room for advancement, for dreaming of something beyond this infinite cycle of clocking in and clocking out. Her creativity and inspiration was being strangled by exhaustion, bills, and stress. Her boyfriend, which should have been a pillar of support, was instead a source of pain. His father was rich, he didn't have to work, and he expected Sarah to be at his beck and call. 

 

 

     She wore a mask in the times she did find to spend with her friends. Always that same fake smile. Their idea of "fun" was heading to a bar to drink until they couldn't think straight and leaving with the first guy to speak to them. It wasn't who Sarah was, and yet she said nothing- always following along. Waking up the next morning with a headache, wondering why she continued the charade at all. Underneath it was a mess of depression, anxiety, and a need for something more engaging than this. She could easily find herself lost in a book, wishing and wanting a life more exciting than this. Danger, excitement, love. A happy ending? She was enchanted by these ideas, and while she was aware they could be found in the real world, she did not have the means. 

 

 

     The pain of reality did fade however, when she played her games. She could be, and do whatever she desired within the games limitations. She was the hero of her own story, people could look at her and be in awe of her accomplishments. She was rich, successful, loved, and admired. Nearly a celebrity- and yet, When she turned off her PC. When she laid down and closed her eyes, waiting for sleep and a day of work tomorrow, reality would come crashing back. She was still stuck in her same job, doing the same meticulous tasks everyday. She was still just plain ol' Sarah Crowe. The game would end. That world contained within her monitor. It wasn't real, she couldn't FEEL what her character was feeling, nor was she able to do everything she desired. The rules kept her bound to game mechanics. More, she wanted more, and she would have it in the form of an upcoming game. Sword Art Online.

 

 

 

Virtues

• Open-minded: Sarah found herself open to trying new things when they were presented to her. She wasn't one to shy away from a challenge for fear of the unknown, and had no desire to judge people based on their own decisions in life. 

 

• Caring: While Sarah has often found herself stressed out and tired, she would never turn away a person in need. She tried to better her community and the lives of those around her, from volunteering to donations to charity. Her boyfriend considered this to be a waste of time as it "makes no difference".

 

• Forgiving: Sarah had done her fair share of forgiving. When someone wronged her it hurt, but she found that she couldn't hold a grudge. An apology wasn't even required, as it seemed that time healed most of her wounds, obvious that she didn't allow many of them to become scars.

 

• Loyal: Sarah is devoted to the people she cares for. Once you've gained her friendship she will do her absolute best to be there for you and has a degree of trouble breaking off from people even if they are harmful to her. This applies to her work as well, she has been at the same job for years now, despite seeing little in return in the way of a raise or promotion.

 

• Brave: Sarah is hard to frighten and is rarely one to back down from a tough situation. She is usually the last to panic and can count her few fears on one hand. Fight or flight? She'll usually choose the former. 

 

 

Flaws

• Caring: This virtue is also considered as a flaw for Sarah. She has sometimes given to the detriment of herself, donating money she couldn't afford to donate, or allowing a relationship to stagnate because of her volunteering. She has trouble saying no.

 

• Forgiving: Another virtue turned flaw. Sarah is perhaps too forgiving and has had people take advantage of this fact. It is easy to wrong someone when you know they'll forgive you for it. Sometimes a grudge is necessary. Sometimes you should cut someone out of your life. 

 

• Naive: Sarah strives to see the good in people. She wants to believe that everyone is good, and this leads her to believe most everyone is being honest with her. The harsh reality of the world is that there are people who simply do not care who they hurt.

 

• Self-Destructive: Sarah is her own worst enemy. At this rate Sarah will never reach her full potential, nor will her dreams be realized. The girl holds herself back, she is both overly critical and can be downright pessimistic when it comes to herself.
