Sarah (Video Game)

"I don't know why people have to be so mean. Like, even when I'm really mad I still don't want to hurt anyone..."

- Sarah to Clementine after being punished by Carver.

Sarah is an original character who appears in Telltale Games' The Walking Dead: Season Two. She is a member of the cabin survivors, along with her father Carlos. Despite being kindhearted and liked by others, Sarah's anxiety problems and lack of knowledge of the outside world due to her father's sheltering often puts her and the group in danger.

Character
Sarah does not have bad intentions, but often puts others in danger due to her lack of awareness for the world's current state. But her ignorance is not entirely her fault. Her father Carlos shelters her from seeing or knowing any gruesome or troubling events, causing her to completely rely on her father.

It is hinted throughout Season Two that she may have some anxiety issues. In "All That Remains", Carlos says, "If she ever knew how bad the world is... what it's really like out there... she would cease to function." It is mainly assumed that she has some kind of anxiety disorder.. This mental disorder is further evidenced during "Amid The Ruins" when she, if Clementine saved her at the house, will remark that she is waiting for her dad to return; this implies she is either unaware of the fact that he died, or that she was actively in-denial over his death.

Location Unknown
Nothing is known about Sarah's life before or as the outbreak began, however, Sarah's overall attitude and her father's rigid sheltering of her, along with the comment that if Sarah knew of the outside world in-depth she would "cease to function", implies that Sarah possibly lived a highly sheltered life before the outbreak.

Howe's Hardware
Sarah was a member of Carver's community at Howe's Hardware along with her father Carlos, Rebecca, Alvin, Luke, Nick, Pete, and Reggie. She followed her father as the group decided to leave the community as it was an unsafe living environment, due to the continuous conflict between Carver and other members of the group.

It is implied that Becca knew Sarah if Shel went with Tavia at the end of "400 Days". Becca was shown in "In Harm's Way" to have a dislike for Sarah.

"All That Remains"
Sarah is first seen inquiring about the ensuing chaos outside the cabin surrounding a mysterious bitten girl, Clementine, who was found in the forest. Her father strictly tells her to return to the inside of the house, to which she does.

Sarah's next appearance is after she is discovered by Clementine, who had been searching the house for hydrogen peroxide to disinfect her dog bite. After Clementine enters her bedroom, Sarah is initially reluctant to offer the medication at the risk of getting in trouble from her father. Despite this, she complies to Clementine's request after seeing a chance of friendship in Clementine.

She is not seen after that, though her father does warn Clementine not to interact with her at the expense of exposing Sarah to the harsh environment of the outside world.

"A House Divided"
Clementine is left alone to watch over Sarah and "keep her busy" while the rest of the group searches for missing members. The player has several choices they can make when interacting with Sarah at the start of the episode, choosing whether or not to humor Sarah about taking her picture and whether to "train" Sarah on how to use an empty handgun she managed to find. Should Clementine refuse for the latter, Sarah will point the gun at Clementine and ask if she's using it right, causing Clementine to duck and scold her, sending Sarah into a temporary panic.

Regardless, Sarah points out that there is a man outside. When he enters, Sarah goes into hiding to avoid being found. Later, she inquires her father about Carver. Upon realizing they are being stalked, the group decides to head north into the mountains to elude Carver.

Sarah has a minimal role for the rest of the chapter until the discovery of the survivors at the Ski Lodge. There, she helps to decorate a Christmas tree with Sarita and has dinner with the rest of the survivors. Later that night though, Carver and his followers find the survivors and take the majority of them hostage. Angered that Rebecca will not show herself, Carver begins to viciously beat Sarah's father Carlos, forcing her to watch as she pleads for mercy.

Sarah, along with the rest of the survivors, is hauled off to Carver's camp at the episode's conclusion.

"In Harm's Way"
The episode begins with Clementine and Sarah going to the bathroom near a tree, supervised by Troy. Troy then loads them back on the truck with Kenny, Sarita, Carlos, Rebecca, Alvin (Determinant) and Nick (Determinant). During a verbal argument between Kenny and the cabin survivors, Sarah breaks down in tears, with Rebecca comforting her. The truck then arrives at Howe's Hardware. Walking to their confinement, Carlos is taken by one of Carver's guards to help wounded survivors, making Sarah become uneasy, stating that she needs her father.

After the first night during Carver's briefing, Sarah talks to Clementine and Carver becomes angry, forcing Carlos to "discipline" her by slapping her mouth in front of all the survivors. He does so, although roughly, knocking Sarah to the ground. She is later seen hiding in the greenhouse, sobbing once more, prompting Clementine to comfort her. After comforting her, Reggie shows up to show them their job: to cut berries from the plants growing. Clementine is willing to do her job, but Sarah only holds her shears anxiously, scared that she will make a mistake. Clementine can either comfort Sarah and help her do her job, or Clementine can leave her alone, in which case she gets her job done but Sarah does not. Either choice will result in one of the girl's not doing their job, causing Carver to get angry and murder Reggie by pushing him off the roof.

At the end of the episode, she reluctantly allows Carlos and Clementine to smear walker entrails on her to escape through the herd alongside them. As she follows behind her father, she begins to go into a panic, with Carlos asking Clementine to say something to her. Before she is able to, Carlos gets fatally shot in the neck, stumbles over, and is grabbed by a walker and bitten. "Ceasing to function", Sarah becomes hysterical and begins to scream and she runs away and disappears.

"Amid The Ruins"
Sarah is first seen within a caravan with Luke at a mobile home, hiding and shivering in shock. After coming across her, Clementine can decide whether to save Sarah or leave her behind. Clementine talks to her about protecting others in an attempt to get her to move, but time begins to run out as walkers completely surround the trailer. Having done little to ease her out of her panic attack, Clementine's speech ultimately fails to get Sarah to get up. Clementine can then choose to slap Sarah, or leave her to the walkers. If Clementine chooses to leave Sarah, the latter will cry out for Clementine in confusion, reaching out to her moments before being devoured. If Clementine slaps her, Sarah will suddenly spring into action and haul up out of the sky roof in the caravan, thus being saved.

Sarah is not seen interacting much afterwards, due to both the aftershock of her anxiety attack and being depressed about her father's death. She will remark that she is waiting for her father to return, showing that Sarah is either losing her grip on reality or that she is clinging to the idea that her father is alive for comfort. Either way, her denial of Carlos' death raises concern regarding her sanity.

Later, after the group has moved to the observation deck to escape the herd of walkers pursuing them, Luke and Clementine will push a cannon towards the gate blocking the entrance to the deck in an attempt to keep the walkers from getting in. The plan fails, for the added weight of the cannon causes part of the observation deck to collapse, taking Sarah down with it. Clementine then has to decide between saving Sarah, who is trapped beneath the rubble, or Jane, who is holding on to the broken deck. Clementine can send Jane down to where Sarah is trapped to try to save her; however, a plank from the damaged deck will fall and strike Jane as she is attempting to lift the rubble off of Sarah. Dazed, Jane stumbles away, and is too late to save Sarah from being devoured by the time she regains consciousness.

"No Going Back"
Sarah is mentioned briefly by Luke along with the rest of the deceased cabin members.She is mentioned when Luke is saying how he feels guilty of how he couldn't protect her and his fellow survivors and blames himself partially for it.

If Sarah was rescued from the trailer park, her death will occur later in the episode.

Relationships
{{Scroll-1|

Carlos
"I just want my dad. When he... when he gets here, we should all go back to the cabin. We're safe there."

- Sarah to Clementine denying Carlos' death.

Carlos is extremely protective of his daughter. Presumably since the outbreak, he has done everything in his power to shelter her and keep her oblivious of what the world has become. He warns Clementine that, if she were to discover the state of the earth, she would "cease to function." He also keeps Sarah from their group meetings, apparently for the previously stated reasons of shielding her from the truth of the matter. If asked by Clementine, Sarah will tell her that when her father is angry with her, he tells her that "he loves her, and just wants to keep her safe," a rather anti-climactic punishment in Clementine's eyes. This adds to the impression that Carlos coddles his daughter terribly, although Sarah's behavior and her father's wording hints to her having a mental disorder, being literally unfit to comprehend, or survive, unsheltered in the apocalypse. After being captured by Carver, Sarah becomes worried after Carlos is taken away from the main group as they arrive at Howe's Hardware. She states how she needs him and that he is the one who looks after her. When Carlos later returns to the group, Sarah is glad to see him again and hugs him. When Sarah interrupts Carver's speech, Carlos is forced to smack Sarah to discipline her, an event which saddens both father and daughter. Sarah later tells Clementine that Carlos never hit her, even if she was bad. Carlos later helps Sarah escape by rubbing her walker guts to pass the herd undetected, and promises that nothing will happen if she remains calm and that he will protect her. Upon Carlos' death, Sarah is devastated by her father's gruesome death, helpless to do anything.

During "Amid The Ruins", she stays in shock after his death, sitting in silence in a trailer at Sunshine Village Mobile Home Park and dismissing all outside contact. If she is rescued from the trailer, she will return to Parker's Run, and if Clementine talks to her, Sarah will state that she is waiting for Carlos to return, showing that she doesn't want to believe Carlos was killed. Later, when she topples off of the observation deck (Determinant), she will call out for Carlos before being devoured by walkers.

Clementine
"You say that like it's so easy... Not everyone can be like you."

- Sarah to Clementine on her ability to stay strong despite her losses.

Sarah's initial curiosity towards Clementine's sudden appearance at the cabin turns to excitement at the possibility of making Clementine her "best friend". Despite Clementine initially being put off by Sarah's childish nature, Sarah forms an attachment to Clementine. Sarah becomes loyal towards her, vouching for her trying to keep Carver out of the house and quickly covering for her for taking a photograph that Carver identified if Clementine tries to accept the blame.

During "In Harm's Way", Clementine looks after Sarah frequently, especially when she is forcibly separated from Carlos by Carver or his men. After Carver forces Carlos to smack Sarah as punishment for her talking over adults, Clementine comforts her and later has the option to help an upset Sarah with her gardening work. Sarah will also bravely stand up to Carver for the first time if he smacks Clementine, angrily telling him to leave her friend alone. After Carlos' death, Clementine is visibly worried as Sarah runs off into the herd of walkers but cannot do anything to stop her.

When Clementine and Jane find Luke and Sarah in the trailer park in "Amid The Ruins", Sarah responds to Clementine even after she would not respond to Luke. Clementine tells Sarah that she wants her to live, despite Jane's assertion that she will only pull the group down. Depending on the player's choice, Clementine can even slap her to get her to escape with the others. If Sarah is left behind, Clementine feels guilty, and falls to her knees as she watches Sarah die, her last act being to call out Clementine's name in confusion.

If Sarah is saved, back at Parker's Run, when Sarah has a break with reality and believes that her father was not killed, Clementine is visibly concerned for her sanity.

After Sarah is pinned under the observation deck, Clementine can tell Jane to risk her life to help Sarah. Sarah's death upsets Clementine greatly and she is shown to be melancholy, though she understands that nothing could have been done.
