A DEEPER LOOK
LIKES ❤ Blueberry anything, whiskey, and coffee - Bourbon is preferred usually, but she'll take any whiskey as a go-to and you'll never find her complaining about anything with blueberry in it. Oh, and so long as it isn't the dreaded decaf or too latte-esque? Sarah will drink pretty well any coffee ❤ Researching and Reading - She doesn't mind doing the digging for something and reading is a go-to pass time. If you get her talking about it she'll get into a bit of nerd talk. You can always find her either with a book in hand or simply a stack of books nearby that probably have yet to be read, a physical to-do list of sorts ❤ The simpler things and classic 70s/80s - She doesn't like to show it or admit it but she's sentimental; small/kind gestures may throw her off a bit at first but it's those very things she loves and appreciates. Classic 80s movies or good ol 70s music, she loves it because it reminds her of her parents, her mother specifically | DISLIKES 🛇 Compartmentalization and dishonesty - Due to past experiences Sarah doesn't do well with 'versions' of the truth being told to her. Might make her a hypocrite, but there are still certain things she won't tolerate this on so if you lie to her trust is lost and may the odds be in your favor of winning it back 🛇 Damsel effect/disrespect and 'No' - She’s very much about handling things herself and as a result doesn’t take help often nor easily. She also doesn't take people disrespecting those whom she cares about nor herself very quietly at all. She's also not a fan of the waiting thing; staying put when she feels something can be done isn't her favorite. More often than not she will likely try to find a way to do it anyway 🛇 Damage to her car - She is protective of her car, with it being some of the only things she has left of her family and her first ever car essentially, given to her by her uncle. She'd rather rebuild it from scratch than get a new on of she could help it and is not happy when it gets damaged |
POSITIVE TRAITS ✓ Compassionate and strong-willed ✓ Loyal and protective ✓ Sassy and generally confident | NEGATIVE TRAITS ✗ Sometimes too stubborn with a bit of a hot temper ✗ Defiant and sometimes impatient ✗ Avoidant and sometimes too sentimental |

None, she human.
STORY SO FAR
Personality: Sarah is much like her parents, in the sense that there are some things she just innately picked up from them; love for classic rock and music from the 70s, classic 80s movies, all that jazz. But in being raised by her uncle, she took a lot after him; loyal to a fault, headstrong, yet caring and compassionate deep down. Sarah can be a nerdy geek at times, sometimes awkward. But even with having empathy, she has a bit of a temper, and snark that can make her annoying at times. She’ll always have her friends and family’s back however, and never backs down till she’s knocked down. She’ll always get back up to fight.
Sometimes doubt can be her downfall though, if not her stubbornness, and this does conflict with the generally confident mindset and demeanor. If she seems bipolar, yeah that’s why. Her wheel of emotions isn’t the most balanced and its probably because of how she grew up. But she’ll still make an effort to put herself in check, when her brain does kick in.
Given she grew up with an ex-Marine as a parental figure, she learned to take orders and follow them, despite an internal need to defy them–blame her mother for that gene. But she also gained other traits, like a tendency to kick doors rather than knocking either when something is urgent, needing to get someone’s attention, or simply when hands are occupied at the given moment. In short, she’s not easy to forget even when her default instinct is to push people away and run from her feelings, often drowning her problems with alcohol instead of facing them. She's become rather closed off compared to her younger years, and maybe that's the grief taking over. You'll have to forgive her if she's a little extra snippy or more avoidant of people.
Ultimately, when it comes to things that soothe her? Long drives, night drives, fast drives, any driving really, is one sure way for her to relax. She’s bound to rack up speeding tickets if she’s not careful but the driver seat of her Plymouth Duster is where she’s most comfortable.
- Her car is a navy blue 1970 Plymouth Duster that she's had since highschool pretty much. She never goes without it if she can help it. She keeps a sort of store of weapons in the trunk under a false bottom, mostly as a just-in-case type of thing. Mostly it's a few guns, some knives, and some ammo, but it's really not a whole lot. A few charms and such to honor her heritage as well, for 'good luck' because she's a bit superstitious. Some places may be a tad dinged up or scuffed but it's minimal and she keeps the vehicle in as best as shape as she possibly can.
- She has a tattoo on her left inner forearm with the date 8-27-1988 as well as a halo bwtween two Angel's wings. This is to honor the death of her parents.
- On her right wrist she wears two bracelets. These are charm bracelets she's picked up over the years, and has continued to wear them as if they've become part of her. One is pictured below and was inherited from her father, the other is a wooden beaded one with interspersed carved skull shaped beads. On her left wrist she wears a tactical watch with the watchface on the underside of her wrist out of habit from her time in the Marine Corps.

Backstory:
Backstory:
Sarah Rogers was born in Brooklyn, New York in the summer of 1984 to Addison and Joseph. Her father, an ex-Marine, had been a mechanic and her mother had been a diner waitress. Apple-pie jobs in an apple-pie life that they’d attempted to have, to provide for their daughter. Sarah had always been close to her father, even if she only remembers bits of it. He always made blueberry pancakes or waffles on weekends, she remembered that. With her mother, music was a big thing, she could recall. Most of her music preference and knowledge probably came from her mother. In fact some of the tapes she kept in her car had actually belonged to her mom. Their life was, well, pretty much perfect, all things considered. Two parents with normal jobs, an uncle, one baby girl and by the time Sarah was 4 there was a second kid on the way...happy family, happy life, it was as plain as things could be for two hunters settling down.
What was only meant to be just a couple weeks for a final case turned out to change little Sarah’s entire life, when they were killed during the trip. The worst part was that it hasn't even been monsters, it was just a crew of people; hunters who had turned mad. While it was ultimately handled by the hunter friend who had called Addison and Joseph for help on the case, he would be the only one to live and tell the tale. It was not something he looked forward to telling James, but he did so nonetheless, and was present for the funeral.
Her uncle, who had only been 15 at the time, was forced to look after Sarah himself then, at least in large part because his father had to work long hours to bring in the money to support both children. Upon her death near the end of his junior year, it was all on James to raise her, which meant working more hours at the autoshop until he graduated and enrolled in the Naval Academy. He taught her near everything she knows, from cars to hunting, from the very basics of parenting (as best as he could anyway) to fighting. He even took her to her gymnastics classes when he could which were paid for with the help of a work friend who would later help get her to classes and such later when James had been deployed. Over the years he taught her a few languages as well, helping her excell in school. Good thing too considering her rebellious tendencies throughout highschool. One thing he may have left out was decent cooking but hey, who’s counting, he got her through to adulthood, despite him leaving her when he deployed as a Navy SEAL for about 4 years.

Whatever bond they had, however, broke near the end of her final year of highschool when she found out he lied, or more accurately compartmentalized technically, about what happened to her parents. The fight that ensued didn’t end very well and resulted in her moving out as soon as she graduated, and they didn't speak for quite some time. She was on her own for maybe a year living from motel to motel, before she signed up to become a Marine. Perhaps it was because it was all she knew, and because at the time things certainly were rocky over seas. She wanted to do something with herself of her own accord, even if it was all the more carrying a family tradition of sorts. When she graduated from boot camp, she at least had her uncle there, but they still weren't on the same level of speaking terms they once had been.
Sarah served in the Marines with a MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) in Counterintelligence, for 10 years, from about 2004 to 2014, where she achieved the rank of Gunnery Sargeant before she was discharged. Upon coming home, she may have managed some level of bond with her uncle once again, and found herself forgiving him at least mostly; but she still couldn't stay around home, it reminded her too much of the past and she just needed something new. Something quiet. About 6 months to a year later she moved to Crawford City, where's she's lived for about 5-6 years now, having taken up a simple job as a bartender.
She had a boyfriend for some time, and would have married had he not perished in a tragic car accident with her. They'd been on their way home from a celebration at a friend's house, it was simple as that. But maybe it was her fault, for distracting Mason as he drove. She'd been trying to ease into a way to tell him she was pregnant…they'd be home soon, it'd be fine, she was just easing into the topic right? Well he didn't have the time to prepare his full focus on the road then, and after swerving to miss what must have been a deer in the road–at least that's how she rationalized it when the doctors dealt with her half-delirious injured self–Sarah survived with only a few broken bones and a scar or two but her fiance wouldn't be so lucky. The car made head-on collision with oncoming traffic and rolled, leaving Sarah unconscious from the impact and unbeknownst to her in this state, her fiance Mason would have died soon after. Her 2, maybe 3 month old unborn child was lost in the accident. It's been about 2 years now, and Sarah hasn't moved on, she mostly keeps to herself if she can help it and, frankly, has been obsessing over trying to find the real cause of her lover's death. Why? Because the police report said he was found badly beat up and dead when medical response arrived on the scene, and to Sarah? It simply didn't sound like nothing. She believes there's more to it, and she intends to find out.
