* LightEmUp: Sarah is a master of Light Symbols, and is the only character to use the ultimate Light Symbol, Sunflare.
* LightIsGood: When it is used by an AllLovingHero like her, it is.
* MacGuffinSuperPerson: In the Roak story-arc she is required for a VirginSacrifice that will revive a demon.
* NiceGal: She's an AllLovingHero and very polite besides.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: It's subtly implied that she's not as ditzy as she appears though it's really hard to see.
* {{Seers}}: Sarah can see the future.
* ShockAndAwe: Sarah is proficient with Lightning Symbols, able to use them up to mid-level.
* YourDoorWasOpen: How ''did'' she manage get on board the Calnus without anyone noticing?
* WhiteMagicianGirl: A feminine lady who casts white magic and wields a pole arm, but there is one exception. She's no one's love interest.
* WingedHumanoid: She's a Featherfolk.
* WingsDoNothing: She has huge wings but is described both by the game and in her own words as being incapable of flight. Bacchus examined her wings and found nothing wrong with them so there's nothing preventing her from flying, she just doesn't know how to get airborne. She can hop and glide, but can't get enough momentum to actually take off. [[spoiler:In her ending, she learns to fly while being chased by two [[CatGirl cat girls]], and neither of them is Meracle, surprisingly.]]

!Antagonists
[[folder:The Grigori]]
!! The Grigori

The game's primary antagonists. Sentient, stone-like beings created by the phenomenon called the Missing Procedure. Their goal is to destroy the universe and replace it with a new, lifeless one in accordance with the Missing Procedure's will. To that end, they induce unnatural evolution in any species they come into contact with, generating life energy that is then consumed by the Missing Procedure to gain the power it needs to destroy the universe.
