Sara is an important character in the first Breath of Fire game. She is a member of the Light Dragon Clan, and lives in Dragnier alongside her little brother, Ryu, the game's main protagonist. She serves as the village's priestess.

Role in Breath of Fire

Having lost her parents at an early age, Sara has lived most of her life in Dragnier, where she took care of her little brother Ryu. At some point, she became the village's priestess. One day, their village gets attacked by the Dark Dragon Clan, who wished to eliminate their main threat: the Light Dragon Clan, unaware that the Light Dragons had sealed away their power long ago. Though the villagers, as well as Ryu, wished to fight back, Sara knew they wouldn't stand a chance, so she used a spell to briefly turn them all to stone in order to protect them from the flames. She then headed off to fight the Dark Dragon's lieutenant, Jade, alone.

During their fight, she learns that they're seeking the six Goddess Keys in order to summon the Goddess Tyr and use her powers to control the world. Though she puts up a good fight, none of her attacks could scratch Jade, and Sara was soon defeated and captured. Learning of her capture spurs her little brother Ryu into heading to Scande, home of the Dark Dragons, in order to rescue her.

Much later in the game, after the heroes triumph over the Dark Dragon Emperor Zog, Sara is finally reunited with her brother when he and his companions fall through the tower and into the dungeons. Sara asks Ryu to give her the Goddess Keys so that she can destroy them, but this turns out to be a trick. Sara had been brainwashed by Jade at an unknown point, and flees with him in order to use the keys to release Tyr.

In Pagoda, where the Goddess Keys need to be for Tyr to be resurrected, Jade places a barrier to impede the progress of Ryu and his companions. Sara arrives and shatters it, having managed to break free from his control. She reveals that Jade's spell fades out now and then, allowing her to break free of his control occasionally, and urges Ryu to hurry and stop Jade. Before he can do so, Jade's spell once again kicks in, forcing Sara to transform into a dragon and attack the party. Ultimately, Ryu is forced to kill her, though before she passes away, she urges her little brother not to grieve, as he had managed to free her by doing so.

Later on, during the battle against Tyr, Sara's spirit returns and urges Ryu to use the power of Agni against the Goddess. Doing so unveils Tyr's true form, allowing the party to finally defeat her. Back at Wyndia, Sara tells Ryu how proud she is of him and his companions, saying their efforts will be the start of a new legend. Having no regrets, Sara departs back to Heaven. She makes a final appearance as Ryu heads back home to Drogen, where her visage appears on the setting sun, pleased at what her little brother had accomplished.
