—Sara
Sara is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. She is a mysterious twelve year old girl who possesses the ability to use the Kia Staff. Sara's grandfather is the Loptr Church's archbishop and leader Manfroy, whom she despises for murdering her father before she was born.
If Sara dies or is not recruited, she will become the Deadlord Canis.
Profile[]
Sara, the granddaughter of Manfroy, harbors deep resentment towards him for assassinating her father. Orphaned at a young age after losing her mother as well, she was raised within the dark confines of the Loptr Church. By the start of the story, despite her age, she a sharp mind and a complex relationship with her surroundings.
Sara's introduction to the story varies depending on the chosen route. She encounters Leif's army in either Chapter 16B or 17A.
In 16B, Sara hears Leif calling out for help as his army navigates the forests of Melfiye. Driven by curiosity and defiance, she leaves her residence to search for him, ignoring Rinecok's orders to stay put. While wandering the battlefield, Sara crosses paths with Salem, but dismisses his attempts to speak to her. Eventually, she finds Leif, boldly offering her aid and introducing herself. To his astonishment, Sara reveals her full knowledge of his parentage, signaling her pivotal role in his journey
In 17A, Sara takes up residence in a church near Fort Norden. Anyone can visit the church, where she, upon confirming that they are with Leif's liberation army, joins them unhesitatingly.
Sara then goes on to continue supporting Leif in his cause to liberate Northern Thracia from the Grannvale Empire. She quietly disappears thereafter, although accounts say that she lives a peaceful life under Leif's protection.
Personality[]
Dreamy by nature, Sara is a capricious and awkward girl with an air of mystery that others often find unsettling. She is considered strange due to her peculiar mannerisms and tendency to wander about aimlessly, following her whims and taking instructions from no one. Lonely and longing for true companionship, she harbors a deep dissatisfaction with the cult she was raised in, craving a life of meaning and connection beyond its shadowy confines. Her restless spirit and unique ability to sense the thoughts and emotions of others, such as hearing Leif's unspoken cry for help, only add to her enigmatic persona.
As she possesses the powerful ability to read minds, Sara often speaks thoughtlessly about secrets and details that others have never revealed, further isolating her from those around her. Even among the cult, she was an outcast, always viewed as both unsettling and unpredictable. Despite her awkwardness and eerie demeanor, Sara possesses immense magical power, but she rejects the allure of the power and status her lineage could grant her, instead yearning for something she had always been deprived of: genuine care and companionship. Finding people who truly like and value her ignites her desire to use her abilities for Leif's cause, striving to do what is right despite her dark upbringing.

Sara is probably one of the strongest "Est" characters in Fire Emblem, coming at Chapter 16B/17A with low bases, but at a high enough level that she requires little investment. Once she gets going, she is near-invincible, nearly capping most of her stats aside from HP and Defense upon promotion.
At base, Sara may look frail, but she has several advantages that make her easy to train:
- Elite (Paragon) → Doubles all EXP gains, allowing rapid leveling.
- Wrath → Guaranteed crits on Enemy Phase, making her an excellent delete button.
- Prayer → Boosts Avoid when low on HP, making her deceptively tanky.
- B-Rank in Staves → Instantly usable for healing, Sleep, or Silence, even before promotion.
Her elite skillset allows her to snowball into an unstoppable unit with barely any investment.
Sara's High Priest promotion grants her:
- A-rank Staves → Instant access to Warp, Rescue, and Rewarp, making her a top-tier staff user.
- Massive stat gains → With her growths, she nearly caps Magic, Skill, and Speed.
- One of the best Magic users in the game → Outpaces most other magic users except Asvel.
It's also important to note that Sara is the only user of the Kia Staff, which is essential for Chapter 24x to remove Stone from Eyvel.
Sara is not just a good combat unit; she also plays critical roles in late-game warp strategies:
- Chapter 24x: The Kia Staff → Sara is the only unit who can use the Kia Staff, which is required to un-stone Eyvel.
- One of the best late-game Warpers → If Safy or Sleuf are fatigued, Sara fills the role perfectly.
- Boss Killing with Wrath → Can easily take out bosses in the late game thanks to Wrath + high magic.
To optimize her further, the Sol manual helps offset her low durability by providing healing on hit, which synergizes well with Wrath.
Sara has no weaknesses aside from her frailty at base. She joins late, but with Elite, Wrath, A-rank Staves, and near-perfect stats, she becomes one of Thracia's strongest units in both combat and staff utility.

| Lady of Loptr Sara | |||
|---|---|---|---|
|
Today I'll be introducing you to Sara, a mysterious cleric! She has something of an otherworldly presence that underpins her delicate features. | ||
|
Sara once lived among the members of the Loptr Church, but after encountering Leif, she took an interest in him and decided to join him in his adventures. | ||
|
And that was where Sara proved to be a phenomenally talented mage well beyond her years. In fact, I've been told that there's a special magical staff that only she can use! I also hear that she has some connection to a major figure in the Loptr Church... Strange indeed. | ||
|
Sara can seem a little moody and aloof at times, but she's willing to help people who catch her attention. Well, I hope she decides to be friends with me too! | ||

Etymology[]
Sara (alternatively spelled Sarah) is a Hebrew feminine given name found in many different areas of the world. In Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian, it refers to a woman of high rank, often simply translated as "Princess". In Modern Hebrew, "sarah" (שרה) is the word for "woman minister".
Trivia[]
- Sara shares her English voice actress, Heather Halley with Heroes' Mirabilis and her Japanese voice actress, Yuko Ono, with Three Houses' Flayn.
- It is never explained why Sara was guarded by her grandfather's subordinates, but it could have been due to her ability to use the Kia Staff and free people turned into stone by the cult; however, Manfroy and Sara never interact, so it is impossible to know if he reciprocated her enmity - and was thus afraid of Sara turning on him - or if he just wanted her safe due to her status.
- Although she is needed to save Eyvel in The Altar of Loptous, her role is never acknowledged by either her or Leif, and the post-battle dialogue does not change regardless of whether she was alive at the end of the chapter or she perished after using the Kia Staff.
- Sara is the first character from the Loptr Church to become playable in Heroes.
