History Characters / InfinityTrainSeekerOfCrocusSaraDiktaylis

** When asked why she never told anyone about her mother's abuse, Sara claims that no one would believe her. Considering how the school handled Chloe and ''her'' bullying problems, she has a good point.

* FreudianExcuseDenial: When accused of bullying Chloe due to wanting to be a Pokemon Trainer to escape her abusive mother, she reacts with shock before denying it.

** Professor Cerise didn't let Chloe go to her softball camp, not out of malice, but due to a last-minute conference and then told her that she could go just go "next time." Chloe was willing to accept this, if begrudgingly, at first. When Sara finds out about it, she twists the knife by telling Chloe that her father ''doesn't love her''.

** Blames Chloe for pummeling her to death with a paint can, forgetting that she wouldn't have retaliated if Sara didn't 1) pour red paint over Chloe, 2) didn't smack said paint can at Parker's face and 3) didn't tell Chloe her father didn't love her. She blames Chloe for ''everything'' going wrong in her life, even when she isn't physically around.

* AdaptationalContextChange: The Hi-Skitty doll that was the catalyst for her father's death was sent back because it wasn't "cute" enough in ''Blossoming Trail''. In this story, she rejected it because she wanted a real Pokémon and not just a toy.

* AdaptationalJerkass: The original Sara was by no means a saint, just a jerk with an unhealthy ego who still had some sympathetic moments. ''This'' Sara mixes that with Parker's RoaringRampageOfRevenge with the Unown in order to create a truly monstrous character.
* AdaptationalKarma: In the original ''Blossomverse'', Sara's ultimate fate was to start anew with a loving foster family with the epilogue of ''Voyage of Wisteria'' noting that things are looking up for her. In this story, she ends up being thrown into a mental facility with the chances of her ever getting out being slim at best, with the only positive thing being that her mother has lost all parental privileges and is thrown in jail.

* AintTooProudToBeg: Pleads for a Pokémon from Professor Cerise and states she'd do anything for it. This fails because she's asking ''way'' too late and it only proves that she didn't learn anything from the expulsion and isn't willing to think about her actions on how she hurt Chloe.

** Also to Chloe. Both of them are {{Daddys Girl}}s with a vindictive streak and disturbing capacity to wish harm upon others. The difference is that Chloe ''never'' stooped to the lows Sara went to, does her best to apologize and admit when she's wrong, and refused an offer for power with Dr. Yung for love and companionship in contrast to Sara using the Unown for her own wicked deeds. And Chloe is actively ''working'' on bettering herself with support for her friends while Sara used others like pawns for her own ends and didn't care if her actions would hurt them. Even their weapons are complete opposites: Sara wants bigger, cooler and more powerful with her spiky crystal bat while Chloe is okay with a simple donut holer -- and in this case, donut holer beats crystal bat since Chloe gets a few blows in while Sara never lands a single hit on Chloe.

* FreudianExcuseDenial: When she is accused of bullying Chloe and wanting to be a Pokemon Trainer due to wanting to escape her abusive mother, she reacts with shock before denying it.

* IrrationalHatred: Hates Chloe for the sheer fact that she ''exists'', she's not into Pokémon, wouldn't just ''shut up'' about her horror hobbies, and has everything she wants in life. Goh points out that it's something even deeper. Rather, she hates that she sees ''her mother'' in Chloe, as someone who everybody takes her side and absolutely ''refuses'' to see her in the wrong. Chloe herself questions the stupidity of Sara's ire towards her.

* JerkassHasAPoint: For all her nastiness, she isn't wrong when it comes to reading people's intentions and what they did.
** She is definitely in the wrong for attacking Parker with a baseball bat, but she was justified at getting mad at Parker for confessing that ''he'' was going to strike back at Yeardley for how he stated he loved bullying his sister for being a PassionateSportsGirl.
** While Sara did corrupt her class, she does point out that [[TooDumbToLive they still continued following her actions]] even ''after'' they were warned by Chloe and got suspended. They could've saved their own skins at any point to avoid being expelled and ruining their future career choices.
** Sara hates Chloe for obsessing over her fantasy characters and being annoying, but she is correct; Chloe ''is'' obsessed with horror, and annoys others by being impulsive, rude, and hating others simply for not reading her mind. And while Sara ''did'' start the fight with Chloe that ultimately led to the paint can incident, Chloe chose to react with violence to the point of nearly ''killing her''.
** She accurately points out that the reason why Chloe had no friends was that she made no meaningful attempts to make them.
** Sara repeatedly claims that Goh allegedly doesn't give a crap about Chloe, but she's not wrong on some levels. Goh constantly had problems listening to Chloe even when they were younger, to the point he almost ''died'' if Chloe didn't rescue him in time, and was so wrapped up in his own problems that he never noticed anything wrong with Chloe until her anger boiled over. And despite Chloe refusing to express what was wrong with her, it was still ''Goh's'' words about Chloe not having a dream that made her run away in the first place.
** When asked why she never told anyone about her mother's abuse, Sara claims that no one would believe her. Considering how the school treated ''Chloe'' and her bullying problems, she has a good point.

** It was she who slammed the paint can in Parker's face, mocking him that he could do nothing to stop the humiliation and bullying on his sister.

** Blames Chloe for pummeling her to death with a paint can, forgetting that she wouldn't have retaliated if Sara didn't 1) pour red paint over Chloe, 2) didn't smack said paint can at Parker's face and 3) didn't tell Chloe her father didn't love her. She technically likes to blame Chloe for ''everything'' going wrong in her life, even when Chloe isn't physically around.

* OffendedByAnInferiorsSuccess: This is how she feels towards Chloe "Monster Lover" Cerise. She's a stupid little girl who doesn't know that you never Tackle a Ghost compared to Sara being wealthy enough to afford a seven day cruise for Golden Week. And yet even after Sara broke her down to the point of suicide, Chloe still keeps moving forward and keeps fighting for her life, to the point that Chloe is revered as a ''goddess'' on the Infinity Train and Sara ends up as a disgraced bully who no one loves.

** Given how {{manipulative|bitch}} she was and how her classmates were obeying her every whim, she ''could'' have told them to stop the bullying to save themselves from being expelled. Instead, she convinced them to double down on their abuse and this leads to ''all'' of them ruining their futures. On another note, if Sara was so angry and annoyed about Chloe having so many similarities to her mother, she could've told Chloe to knock it off and explain just ''why'' Chloe's insistent talk about her macabre interests wasn't helping in the first place.

* {{Sadist}}: She clearly gets a kick out of hurting people, be it Chloe or anyone unfortunately enough to get on her bad side.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: SpoiledBrat she might've been, but Sara was nowhere near as mean or outright evil back when she was younger and her father was alive. It's only when he died and her mother decided to adopt a bottle of booze to cope with the pain did Sara turn into the monster she currently is.

* EvilIsPetty: So long as she one-ups Chloe, and so long as it makes Chloe give her a Pokémon, she'll do anything and ''everything'' in her path to destroy this Monster Lover's life and could care less if Chloe decided to kill herself.

** Sara hates Chloe for obsessing over her fantasy characters and being annoying. But she is correct: Chloe ''is'' obsessed with horror, and annoys others by being impulsive, rude, and hating others simply for not reading her mind. And while Sara ''did'' start the fight with Chloe that ultimately led to the paint can incident, Chloe chose to react with violence to the point of nearly ''killing her''.

** Sara repeatedly claims that Goh allegedly doesn't give a crap about Chloe, but she's not wrong on some levels. Goh constantly had problems listening to Chloe even when they were younger, to the point he almost ''died'' if Chloe didn't rescue him in time, and was so wrapped up in his own problems that he never noticed anything wrong with Chloe until her anger boiled over. And despite Chloe refusing to express what was wrong with her, it's still ''Goh's'' words about Chloe not having a dream that made her run away in the first place.

* AdaptationalContextChange: The Hi-Skitty doll that caused her father's death was sent back because it wasn't "cute" enough in ''Blossoming Trail''. In this story, it was sent back because she wanted a real Pokémon and not a toy, which also connects as to how she persuaded everyone in the class to follow along with her plans to destroy Chloe because a real Pokémon is considered a status symbol of "living the best life ever".

* AdaptationalWealth: Blossomverse!Sara's economic status wasn't brought up at all in the original trilogy. In here, as part of being a TruerToTheText Sara Berry expy, she's stated to be rich enough to afford a week-long cruise to Slateport for Golden Week for (almost) everyone in her class and mockingly tells Chloe she'll give her a souvenir.

* AllForNothing: Her attempts to get a Pokémon from Chloe via bullying led to her expulsion, losing all her "friends" that also got expelled and being chewed out as an apathetic [[{{Jerkass}} bitch]] who bullied a girl [[DrivenToSuicide to her breaking point]] just because she reminded her of her mother and because she's a monster loving weirdo. Her wishes to kill Chloe and use the Unown to her benefit has her realize that her spiteful, [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]] and [[EvilIsPetty petty]] attitude will never give her what she wants and she will not be getting any comfort any time soon, so she might as well just end it all. Even ''worse'' is that her use of the Unown didn't stop her mother; it's Gloria's more simplistic wish that finally got Marianna arrested.
* AlphaBitch: Her only goal was to make Chloe so miserable by taking away her attempts to love her hobbies and any potential friends at school that she'd give her and the classmates a Pokémon to make it all stop (along with the additional benefit of making Chloe stop talking about her hobbies). Getting the Unown only made her even worse.

* AmbitiousButLazy: She can muster and rally twenty students to ruin Chloe's life for good through [[ManipulativeBitch manipulation]] tactics and pull a LongGame that will ultimately shatter Chloe's confidence to the point that she'll ''kill herself''...and yet she can't use that motivation ''to just go to Professor Cerise's Institute'' and get a Pokémon for herself.

* AnimalMotifs: Foxes. Her surname is Greek for "Foxglove" and her screen name is ''Vulpix_princess'', Vulpix being a fox-like Pokemon (or rather, they're modeled after a kitsune). Like how kitsune are masters of illusion, she gives off the ''illusion'' of a proud boastful bitch when she's really a broken girl who lashes out in the world because a part of her is afraid to speak out, but she ends up stuck in a cycle of lashing out, violence and selfishness instead.

* AttackAttackAttack: Sara's "strategy" is mostly to just slam her bat into Chloe's face and see if anything works. This only makes her tire her out more because Chloe has more experience with her donut holer and can defend herself from Sara's more predictable attacks.
* AxCrazy: Devolves into this as the Cyan Desert Cart reaches its end, wanting nothing more than to ''murder Chloe'' in front of her friends '''and mother''' and even makes her Unown copy of Professor Cerise ''nearly enact uxorcide and filicide'' just so she can get ''some'' victory out of her favorite bullying victim. Extended use of the Unown will do that to you.

** Sara only puts the work into making people do stuff for her, and she doesn't even have the brains to consider just ''walking to the Cerise Institute'' to get her Pokémon. She also doesn't use her Unown powers for her own benefit. She instead makes an elaborate castle, uses an Unown copy of Cerise to take over him, forces her mom to be a Stepfordized version of herself, and her idea of beating Chloe up is a giant stick to pummel her to death. In contrast, Chloe has worked her way up from a Professor's daughter who tackled a Ghost to a hardened warrior with a donut holer, actively works on making amends with people, and on the Train she gets the goodwill of citizens by creating stage productions. This is highlighted in their fight when Sara has little to no strategy and Chloe deflects every swing of her bat without fail.

** She made Chloe's life at school a living hell just for annoying her by talking too much about horror. There's also an offhand remark of Chloe refusing to give Sara a Pokémon when she asked.

* DrivenByEnvy: She's ''jealous'' of the "privileged" life Chloe has and she will do ''anything'' and [[ManipulativeBitch manipulate]] ''everyone'' around her to fulfill her dreams of crushing that stupid little red-haired ''monster-loving princess'' to bits.

* EvilVirtues: '''Honesty'''. For all that she lies and manipulates, she's also capable of speaking honest truths about Chloe and her classmates and their choices in life. She tells Chloe that she's an annoying brat who doesn't know when to shut up, and that her classmates still had a choice of working to make amends after their suspension but foolishly continued sucking up to her like the stupid Mareep they are.

* CreativeSterility: Despite her manipulative ways to get Chloe to be bullied to the brink of suicide, she has little to no creativity outside hurting people to get what she wants. She has command of some of the most powerful Pokémon in existence, but she can't think of a creative way to kill her opponent except to make a giant stick to bash Chloe's brains in. In contrast, Chloe doesn't even ''need'' those tricks to beat her opponent, as she's spent months on the Train combatting tougher baddies than her former bully, but she also uses some quick thinking with Asher and Specter to get her to grow mad. She also doesn't have any ideas on how to effectively put her mother in prison ''outside'' a MindRape. Gloria outshines her by making the Unown wish for security footage of Marianna violently attacking people to spread across the city.

** Her former best friend questioning if Chloe hated ''her'' more than the entire class? Strangle her, then throw her so hard into the wall that her skull cracks.

* DoubleMeaning: Chloe nicknames her "Salt Princess" because it's an actual fairy tale - though more commonly known as The Princess and The Salt - and because Sara is going through a rampage in a fit of a rage, which is considered being "salty" in today's lingo and Chloe even dares her bully to "Get nice and salty" for her.

* EvilVirtues: '''Honesty'''. For all that she lies and manipulates, she's also capable of speaking honest truths about Chloe and her classmates and their choices in life. She tells Chloe that she's an annoying brat who doesn't know when to shut up, and that her classmates still had a choice of working to make amends after their suspension but foolishly continued sucking up to her.

** Sara repeatedly claims that Goh allegedly doesn't give a crap about Chloe, but she's not wrong on some levels. Goh did had problems listening to Chloe even when they were younger, and was so wrapped up in his own problems that he never noticed anything wrong with Chloe until her anger boiled over. And despite Chloe refusing to express what was wrong with her, it was still ''Goh's'' words about Chloe not having a dream that made her run away in the first place.

* ItsAllAboutMe: No one else matters but herself and she'll only care about others as long as she can use them to get what she wants. It's also pretty apparent that, for all her talk of promising to get Pokemon for her classmates, she never intended to honor that promise.

* AmbiguousSituation: Sara likes to boast about her economical status about her family being rich enough to let her do what she wants, such as getting to go on a week-long cruise to Slateport, but her tendency to both lie and twist the truth to hurt others means it's just as likely that she's once again just trying to make people feel bad.
* AmbitiousButLazy: She can muster and rally twenty students to ruin Chloe's life for good through [[ManipulativeBitch manipulation]] tactics and pull a LongGame that will ultimately break Chloe's confidence to the point that she'll give everyone in her class a Pokémon for it to stop or would rather ''kill herself'' before that happens...and yet she can't use that motivation ''to just go to Professor Cerise's Institute'' and get a Pokémon for herself.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Cyan Desert Car Part 5 is her getting this lesson thrown to her face. Every wish she asks for through [=UnSycamore=] is given to her without any strings attached; the problem is ''her'' [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish attitude]] and stubborness that prevents her from reaping the benefits. Even her third wish to "Get what she deserves" from Chloe also stems from it. Because what Chloe ''thinks'' she deserves is a massive beatdown and to fulfill her promise to kill Sara and the classmates "all kinds of dead" for all the bullying they placed on her.

** She is definitely in the wrong for attacking Parker with a baseball bat, but she was justified at getting mad at Parker for confessing ''he'' was going to strike back at Yeardley for how he stated he loved bullying his sister for being a PassionateSportsGirl.

** Professor Cerise didn't let Chloe go to her softball camp, not out of malice, but due to a last-minute conference and then told her that she could go just go "next time." Chloe was willing to accept this, if begrudgingly, at first. When Sara finds out about it, she twists the knife by telling Chloe that her father ''doesn't love her'' while bragging that ''she'' gets to go on a week-long cruise to Slateport with her friends and mockingly promises to get Chloe a souvenir.

* LackOfEmpathy: She doesn't seem to realize how Patricia is crying at the thought of her (physically-disabled) grandfather ''dying of despair'' because of how his granddaughter was ready to bully the disabled and weak. Nor does she think of letting her Unown version of Professor Cerise fuse ''with Professor Cerise'' be anything else except having her daddy back (especially when that version will go as far as ''strangle Talia and Chloe for mouthing back''), and doesn't have second thoughts on crippling a five-year-old all because he tried to stand up to her. And when told that Chloe could be expelled if she tried a repeat of beating Sara with a paint can? All she can say is, "Sweet, that dumb bitch goes ''bye-bye''!" In Harvest Moon Car, she ''loudly'' proclaimed to other students that she didn't care if Chloe died, which ultimately set up her downfall.

* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: She sees Pokemon as objects instead of living beings with emotions. She even attempted to kidnap Yamper to get her Pokémon, caged Sobble and was willing to "gift" all of Goh's Pokémon to bribe her classmates.

* BeyondRedemption: The entire world and our lord and savior Chloe Cerise can say otherwise, but Sara knowns better than them that no matter what, her actions with or without the Unown has made it so nobody will forgive her, and the only thing that she's going to get if not a swift death is a consistent life of pure misery. The fact that Auric confirms that the Infinity Train, which is willing to give even ''cyber terrorists'' a second chance, wants ''nothing'' to do with her is proof of that.

** Her former best friend questioning if Chloe hated ''her'' more than the entire class? Strangle her than throw her so hard into the wall that her skull cracks.

** Sara hates Chloe for obsessing over her books and fantasy characters and for being annoying. But she is correct: Chloe ''is'' obsessed with horror, and annoys others by being impulsive, rude, and hating others simply for not reading her mind. And while Sara ''did'' start the fight with Chloe that ultimately led to the paint can incident, Chloe chose to react with violence to the point of nearly ''killing her''.
** Sara states that the reason why Chloe had no friends was that she did ''nothing'' to make them. Chloe somewhat agrees that she didn't really do much to get what she wanted initially.
** Sara repeatedly claims that Goh allegedly doesn't give a crap about Chloe, but she's not wrong on some levels. Goh has problems listening to Chloe even when they were younger, and was so wrapped up in his own problems that he never noticed anything wrong with Chloe until her anger boiled over. And despite Chloe refusing to express what was wrong with her, it was still ''Goh's'' words about Chloe not having a dream that made her run away in the first place.
** When asked why she never told any of the teachers about her mother's abuse, Sara claims that no one would believe her. Considering how the school treated ''Chloe'' and her bullying problems, she has a good point.
* KarmaHoudini: Zigzagged; while she ''is'' going to be punished for all the atrocities she committed with the Unown, she's not going to get as big a punishment for getting Professor Cerise onto the Train, Chloe undoing most of her progress and Augustine's mental breakdown.

** Professor Cerise didn't let Chloe go to her softball camp, not out of malice, but due to a last-minute conference and then told her that she could go just go "next time". Chloe was willing to accept this, if begrudgingly, at first. When Sara finds out about it, she twists the knife by telling Chloe that her father ''doesn't love her'' while bragging that ''she'' gets to go on a week-long cruise to Slateport with her friends and mockingly promises to get Chloe a souvenir.

* AmbiguousSituation: Sara likes to boast about her economical status about her family being rich enough to let her do what she wants, such as getting to go on a week-long cruise to Slateport while Chloe can't get her dad to let her go to softball camp, but her tendency to both lie and twist the truth to hurt others means it's just as likely that she's once again just trying to make people feel bad.

** She claims that if she told no one that her mother was abusing her, they wouldn't listen to her...when the audience she's telling this to actually ''is'' listening to her and are sympathetic to her problems. Moreover, she is proven wrong when people would never listen to her when Gloria wishes for security footage of Marianna's assaults to be spread throughout the city, as Officer Jenny immediately whips out the handcuffs.

** Sara decided to destroy Chloe to give her a Pokémon instead of doing the smart thing and just ''go'' to the Cerise Institute. When she has the Unown she plans to just ''give'' Goh's Pokémon to her classmates.

** Sara had multiple chances to just walk to the Cerise Institute to get her own Pokémon but decided to destroy Chloe's life instead. She then decides to go there ''after'' her own life was destroyed by her own actions.

* FatalFlaw:
** A [[DidntThinkThisThrough lack of forethought]]. Instead of just ''asking'' Chloe's father to get a Pokémon, she insists on attacking Chloe so that she'll give them a Pokémon, not considering how much trouble this would bring her and her classmates and how much they would destroy someone's life for their happiness. Not to mention that Chloe is ''the daughter of a Pokémon Professor'' who would immediately ban her from getting a Pokémon if he found out what happened.
** Greed is a secondary one. Even though she already lives in what must be a lofty apartment, she's not happy enough with what she has. She wants her own Pokémon, but she tries to force Chloe to give her one instead of asking it. And then she tries to ''steal'' from others, instead of honestly working hard for her dreams like Ash and Goh.
** [[DrivenByEnvy Envy]]. She hates Chloe and is envious of everything she has and this led her to rope other students to make her life a living hell. Even after getting the Unown she ''still'' feels envy about Chloe being called a Demon Lord and all her accomplishments.
** Apathy. She doesn't care whose life she destroys and the destruction that comes after just as long as Chloe is ruined.
** [[DirtyCoward Cowardice]]. Instead of having the courage to admit her problems or just tell Chloe to stop talking about demons for five seconds, she uses ''others'' in her stead and twists things so that they destroy Chloe and shut up her for good. She convinced twenty students to harass Chloe so she never had to get her hands dirty and it's [=UnCerise=] who steps in to beat Chloe into a pulp when she can't get a single hit in.
** Laziness: Instead of actively working hard for a dream, she steals from others. As Cerise notes, she stole Chloe's chances of having a dream and the dreams of twenty students by convincing ''them'' to harass Chloe instead of just asking him directly to get a Pokémon. When she counters back that Ash and Goh are no better for constantly changing their goals, Cerise points out that at least they actually ''work for them''.
** Entitlement. Everything is for her, she needs to get what SHE wants and everyone who doesn't cater to her wishes should just go ''die'' for all she cares. She never gets to see what people suffer through nor how her actions and [[ItsAllAboutMe selfishness]] nearly ended Chloe's life if the Train didn't pick her up. She doesn't ''have'' to work to get a Pokémon; she'll just get Chloe to give one to her in order to stop the hell in her life.

** Also to Chloe. Both of them are {{Daddys Girl}}s with a vindictive streak and disturbing capacity to wish harm upon others. Difference is that Chloe ''never'' stooped to the lows Sara went to, does her best to apologize and admit when she's wrong, and refused an offer for power with Dr. Yung for love and companionship in contrast to Sara using the Unown for her own wicked deeds. And Chloe is actively ''working'' on bettering herself with support for her friends while Sara used others like pawns for her own ends and didn't care if her actions would hurt them. Even their weapons are complete opposites: Sara wants bigger, cooler and more powerful with her spiky crystal bat while Chloe is okay with a simple donut holer -- and in this case, donut holer beats crystal bat since Chloe gets a few blows in while Sara never lands a single hit on Chloe.

** She is definitely in the wrong for attacking Parker with a baseball bat, but she was justified at getting mad at Parker for confessing he ''was'' going to strike back at Yeardley for how Mr. "My life is a work in progress" stated he loved bullying his sister for being a PassionateSportsGirl.

** Sara repeatedly claims that Goh allegedly doesn't give a crap about Chloe, but she's not wrong on some levels. Goh has problems listening to Chloe even when they were younger, and was so wrapped up in his own problems that he never noticed anything wrong with Chloe until her anger boiled over. And despite Chloe refusing to express what was wrong with her, it's still ''Goh's'' words about Chloe not having a dream instead of listening to what Chloe was asking of him that made her run away in the first place.

** She is wrong for attacking Parker with a baseball bat, but she was justified at getting mad at Parker for confessing that he ''was'' going to strike back at Yeardley for confessing how much he loved bullying his sister for being a PassionateSportsGirl.

** Sara repeatedly claims that Goh allegedly doesn't give a crap about Chloe, but she's not wrong on some levels. Goh was so wrapped up in his own problems that he never noticed anything wrong with Chloe until her anger boiled over. And despite Chloe refusing to express what was wrong with her, it was still ''Goh's'' words about Chloe not having a dream that made her run away in the first place.

** Even her first wish of wanting to be Chloe Cerise has shades of this. Sure her father is Professor Cerise, but in this reality, Chloe is now Chloe ''Sycamore'', adopted daughter of Professor Sycamore who helps him study Mega Evolution, is from Kalos (to which Sara equates as "very beautiful" and she calls Sycamore the "Ikemen professor") and has a pet Houndoom. Not to mention that she's ''much more'' enthusiastic about Pokémon...[[{{Irony}} something that Sara always pestered Chloe to be into.]]
* AmbiguousSituation: Her economic status is rather bogus. She likes to boast about her family being rich enough to let her do what she wants, such as getting to go on a week-long cruise to Slateport while Chloe can't get her dad to let her go to softball camp, but her tendency to both lie and twist the truth to hurt others means it's just as likely that she's once again just trying to make people feel bad.

** She attacks Parker in "self-defense" for how she tried to attack her, even though it was ''she'' who once smacked him across the face with a paint can (after she poured the contents onto his sister) and confessed at how she loved bullying his sister.
** She kept bullying Chloe, even ''after'' the paint can incident and subsequent suspension, because Chloe could cope with everything. She has to be told that ''no'', the only reason Chloe didn't retaliate was because she could've ended up expelled or worse, ''arrested'' if that happened. Just because you attack and bully someone and they don't retaliate that '''doesn't''' mean "coping".

** Sara had multiple chances to just walk to the Cerise Institute to get her Pokémon but decided to destroy Chloe's life instead. She then decides to go there ''after'' her own life was destroyed by her own actions.
** She loved mocking Chloe for not being into Pokémon like she is. Thing is, Chloe got a Pokémon prior to Sara and is actively learning to like them on her own terms while Sara will presumably not be allowed to have one for years to come and was quick to ''abuse them'' for her own desires.
* IrrationalHatred: Hates Chloe for the sheer fact that she ''exists'', she's not into Pokémon, wouldn't just ''shut up'' about her horror hobbies, and has everything she wants in life. Goh points out that it's something even deeper -- that Sara sees herself in Chloe. Rather, she hates that she sees ''her mother'' in Chloe, as someone who everybody takes her side and absolutely ''refuses'' to see her in the wrong. Chloe herself questions the stupidity of Sara's ire towards her.
* ItsAllAboutMe: No one else matters but herself and she'll only care about others as long as she can use them to get what she wants.

** Professor Cerise didn't let Chloe go to her softball camp, not out of malice, but due to a last-minute conference and then told her that she could go just go "next time". Chloe was willing to accept this, if begrudgingly, at first. When Sara finds out about it, she twists the knife by telling Chloe that her father ''doesn't love her'' while bragging that ''she'' gets to go on a week-long cruise to Slateport with her friends and mockingly promises to get Chloe a souvenir. Chloe ends up sobbing on her desk over the unsigned permission slip.

* ShadowArchetype: She's essentially Chloe in that she won't confess what's wrong with her, blames others for her own shortcomings and doesn't care about the consequences in regards to who she hurts along the way. When Asher, posing as [=UnSycamore=], gives her scenarios to let her become Chloe, Sara acts like a prick even though she's getting everything she wanted just like how ''Blossoming Trail'' Chloe acted. To drive it home, Sara uses a baseball bat as her weapon, just like Chloe was known to love softball.
