Sara Morrigan

Sara Morrigan

Sara portrays herself as a "Tough Girl". Most people see her working out, particularly practicing several martial arts forms. Despite this, she is also a loner and an introvert who would rather go it alone or take things into her own hands. She would rather not attract attention to herself deliberately, but her bold confidence and natural physical fitness and attractiveness keep her from bring invisible.
Sara is also a survivor of parental abuse from her alcoholic father. This has sometimes manifested itself negatively on her in the form of a police record, and so has developed a mistrust of authority. She carries two well-hidden knives, and occasionally a gun, but she depends much more on martial arts.
Sara has a natural talent for telekinesis, but because it has manifested so naturally with her athletic and martial abilities, she doesn't realize it. Her powers manifest themselves most when she's enraged and subconsciously uses this talent to gain the upper hand over opponents. She is beginning to suspect she is unique, but is feeling self-conscious about this since it could bring unwanted attention.
