32
33	A young Mandalorian with a flair for explosives and art. A daughter of Clan Wren and House Vizsla, she went on the run with fellow classmate Ketsu Onyo from their former school, the Mandalorian Imperial Academy, becoming bounty hunters before being left for dead. Finding a new family in the ''Ghost'' crew, she continues her fight against the Empire before taking it home-bound and igniting an old wick from the Clone Wars. As a member of the Rebellion, she was the weapons expert for Phoenix Squadron and the ''Ghost'' crew.
34	----
35	[[folder:#-I]]
36	* TwentyFourHourArmor: Mentioned in her journal that she stays in it so often that she occasionally ends up sleeping in it--ironically something more traditional/extreme Mandalorians like the Children of the Watch stick to, even if she is not one. She eventually grows out of this, as by the time of ''Ahsoka'' she is wearing regular military fatigues with a bomber jacket.
37	* TheAce: Sabine is exceptionally skilled and talented for her age; being an explosives expert, polyglot, excellent pilot, sharpshooter, melee fighter, and propaganda artist. She outdraws and disarms Fenn Rau, himself a leader of the [[PraetorianGuard Mandalorian Protectors]], and comes out mostly on top in a fistfight with [[TheQuisling Gar]] [[RankScalesWithAsskicking Saxon,]] while eliminating several of his Imperial Supercommandos.
38	* AchillesInHisTent: After [[spoiler:losing her family to Moff Gideon's purge and being abandoned by Ahsoka]], Sabine is reintroduced in ''Ahsoka'' living alone on Lothal, sulking over her traumas and deeply missing Ezra's companionship. It's only when Ahsoka comes around needing her help that Sabine finds herself willing to get back to action.
39	* ActionGirl: Skilled with explosives, blasters and hand to hand combat. She's more than able to take care of herself.
40	* AndThisIsFor: Before [[spoiler:pushing the trigger to destroy the Imperial headquarters on Lothal as well as the Imperial garrison and chain of command, she chooses to honor Kanan and Ezra's {{Heroic Sacrifice}}s]] in making their victory possible...
41	* AllForNothing: Sabine spent a good chunk of ''Rebels'' trying to liberate her people from Imperial rule, rescuing her father, reconciling with her family, and giving the Darksaber to a worthy wielder. As ''The Mandalorain'' and ''The Book of Boba Fett'' showed, all it did was cause The Empire to send Moff Gideon to Mandalore to reclaim, carpet-bomb the hell out of the planet, slaughter everyone in sight, and steal the Darksaber from Bo-Katan so he could keep it as a trophy, leaving Mandalore "cursed" and scattering what was left of her people across the galaxy. It gets worse in ''Ahsoka'' when it's revealed that [[spoiler:her entire family was killed in the purge, meaning she mended fences with them too late to have any meaning.]]
42	* AmbiguousSituation: According to [[AllThereInTheManual her in-universe journal]], she learned multiple languages for espionage training. As of Season 3, we know that she was involved in [[spoiler:the creation of anti-Mandalorian superweapon(s)]], as well as that the Imperial Academy on Mandalore seems to be technology-based (like [[IvyLeagueForEveryone MIT]]) according to WordOfGod. Though then again, WordOfGod also stated that Mandalorian youth were being used as "Imperial weapons" of some sort, and fellow former student Ketsu doesn't seem to be highly-educated as Sabine is despite being of older age. So whatever Sabine being taught espionage was meant for is up in the air.
43	* AncestralWeapon:
44	** In ''Rebels'' season 4, she states that her armor is 500 years old and has been in her family for generations.
45	** Later on she gets the Darksaber, which once belonged to Pre Vizsla, of whom her family clans are aligned under. [[spoiler:She passes it on to Bo-Katan in the fourth season premiere, but considering that Moff Gideon has it in ''Series/TheMandalorian'', it seems the Darksaber does not want to stay with the Mandalorians. [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars At all.]] ]]
46	* AntiHero: Like Hera, she may seem idealistic at first glance, but she's rather rough around the edges. In the pilot, she's willing to leave Ezra behind with the Imperials, under the (initially) correct assumption that he'd be used as bait, making the rescue futile. She's also quick to side against helping a HeelRealization [[spoiler:Tua]] due to belief that it wasn't genuine and same reasoning as the aforementioned situation, and cast {{Revenge}} on Rau for [[spoiler:nearly killing Hera]], refusing to listen to [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Kanan's reasons for practicality]].
47	* TheApprentice: After deciding to use the Darksaber for Mandalore's sake, Sabine is taken in as Kanan's apprentice in the lightsaber arts. [[spoiler:In the second episode of ''Ahsoka'', she becomes Ahsoka's formal Padawan.]]
48	* ArmorIsUseless: Averted. Her armor saves her life when Vader redirects blaster bolts into her head. In ''Ahsoka'' it proves indispensable while fighting Shin later as her Force powers and lightsaber training eclipse hers significantly.
49	* ArtAttacker: She uses an explosive paint she can detonate at will. Her promotional short is even called [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsArtAttack "Art Attack"]].
50	* ArtReflectsPersonality: A fiery and rebellious free spirt who uses bold and flashy colors in her works. Most noticeable when she covers dull grey Imperial architecture with her GraffitiOfTheResistance.
51	* TheAtoner: As a young kid at the Mandalorian Imperial academy, she helped create weapons that the Empire used to keep other Mandalorians (and her family and friends) in line; including killing them. Horrified at what her "young and arrogant" work had done, she tried to speak out in an attempt to stop it, even destroying her work to prevent further use. (This failed due to the Empire still holding her original design.) Sadly, her family chose to stand with the Empire, causing the Empire to realize [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness she had outlived her usefulness]] and she fled Mandalore to prevent further consequence. She attempted to forget about her past by becoming a bounty hunter, but she eventually decided the best way she could help was to become a fully-committed rebel.
52	* BadassAdorable: Below that armor lies a petite girl with a very cute face. She also has enough tricks up in her sleeve to kick your ass if she has to.
53	* BadassBiker: She rides a speeder bike with rock music blaring while blowing off the ceremony commemorating the Liberation of Lothal during the ''Series/{{Ahsoka}}'' series' first episode.
54	* BadassBookworm: Has several times mentioned reading books concerning the military, and has fairly extensive knowledge of artwork, as well.
55	* BadassNormal: Sabine can handle a lightsaber without being Force-Sensitive, [[spoiler:and she gets to use Ezra's lightsaber after the finale]]. In ''Series/{{Ahsoka}}'', despite her complete lack of natural talent, Ahsoka still decided to take Sabine on as a Padawan in-between the time of ''Rebels'' and the series. While it didn't work out very well it's made clear it's not her skills that was the problem, but both Ahsoka and Sabine not really being ready for the relationship. [[spoiler: As it turns out, she ''is'' perfectly capable of using the Force, finally tapping into it consciously in the finale of ''{{Series/Ahsoka}}'' and using it well thereafter.]]
56	* TheBigGirl: Shares this spot with [[TheBigGuy Zeb]]. While Zeb is the strong power, she's the fast power. Zeb is brute force, Sabine is technique (and explosives).
57	* BigScrewedUpFamily: They didn't show up onscreen until Season 3 of ''Rebels'', but their presence was felt; they contributed to her trust issues (along with her time in the Empire). She's of Clan Wren, a family aligned to House ''Vizsla''; the same house which Pre Vizsla, leader of Death Watch, hailed from. Sabine also confirmed that her mother was a member of Death Watch. In Season 3, it's revealed her mother has sworn allegiance to the Empire in penance for Sabine's defection and they abandoned her when she tried to speak out against the Empire for the first time.
58	* BloodKnight: She enjoys any opportunity to show off her art, and that usually involves getting into fights and blowing things up. Being a Mandalorian, this isn't all that surprising.
59	* BoyishShortHair: Fits with her tomboyish rough-and-tumble personality. In her journal, she says she keeps her hair short because her scalp gets sweaty while wearing her helmet and having long hair makes it worse. She once mentioned she'd like to try a pixie cut. [[spoiler:And indeed she has, at least some 6 years later. It makes her look rather {{Bifauxnen}}-ish.]]
60	* BountyHunter: She worked as one after leaving the Imperial Academy on Mandalore and dreamed of joining Black Sun.
61	* BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: Non-romantic usage. Sabine left Mandalore and her people not because she was a DirtyCoward as her culture would claim she is, but the Empire would keep hurting them to get to her. This led her to realize her family were the cowards for choosing their own lives over her.
62	* BreakoutCharacter: While she was always one of the leads on ''Rebels'', her role in the story vastly expanded from Season 3 onward, to the point where the creators of the show essentially noted that she would serve as the most important character in the show's narrative after Ezra.
63	* BrokenAce: Her ChildProdigy talent at mechanics brought the Empire's attention to her and made her life a living nightmare by using the weapons she helped create against innocents and her loved ones, and many of her skills in the present day (fighting, painting, explosives) can be traced to some part of her DarkAndTroubledPast. Not helped in that she has abandonment problems, due to her family wanting to protect their honor and Ketsu choosing herself over helping Sabine.
64	* BrokenBird: Come ''Series/{{Ahsoka}}'' episode "[[Recap/AhsokaS1E4Chapter4FallenJedi Fallen Jedi]]", the revelation of just what Sabine has lost to that point makes her behavior at the start of the series very clear. In ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'' she had created weapons that were used against her own people. She tried to speak out only for her family to abandon her for the Empire, though she would eventually reconcile with them. A close friend would leave her for dead, giving her trust issues. Kanan, her father figure, dies in a HeroicSacrifice. Her closest friend Ezra disappeared. Her first effort to be Ahsoka’s apprentice would fail. [[spoiler:During the Purge of Mandalore her family died]]. [[spoiler:Then she watches her master be thrown off a cliff, leaving her in an emotionally distressed state and easily manipulated.]]
65	* CharacterDevelopment:
66	** Like Zeb, she was willing to leave Ezra behind with the Imperials back in the pilot episode, believing it would be a hopeless cause and not worth the risk. However, she gradually warms up to him over the series and, by the time of [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E05ImperialSupercommandos "Imperial Supercommandos"]], when Ezra allows himself to get captured to ensure she and Rau didn't, [[TrueCompanions she refuses to leave without Ezra no matter the risk]]. Even though Rau insisted they save themselves.
67	** In Season 1, Sabine learns that it's okay for her to put faith in the Rebellion and her newfound family. Over the show, they teach her a baseline of morality and to lose her BloodKnight tendencies. In Season 2, this allows her to be able to forgive Ketsu and show mercy to Rau, and later in Season 3, she's able to confront her family in a mature manner and make amends with them. If Sabine never got over being a BloodKnight, her relationship with Ketsu would've soured even more (to the point they wouldn't have worked together to escape the Imperials in that situation due to bad blood between them), she could've gotten much trouble for killing Rau as well as losing a possible asset to the Rebellion, and her clan would not look upon her too proudly if she threw a tantrum or an argument at them.
68	** ''Ahsoka'' sees her once again deal with the baggage from her past while rekindling her master-apprentice bond with Ahsoka. She also comes to learn how to make difficult decisions for the greater good; while initially she [[spoiler:gives Baylan the map in a moment of weakness and longing to reunite with Ezra, in the season finale she resolves to abandon her chance to return home with Ezra due to realizing Ahsoka needs her.]]
69	* ChildProdigy: She built a super-weapon capable of destroying Mandalorian armies while at the Imperial Academy. This happened before the show, meaning she developed this super-weapon at the age of ''twelve or thirteen''.
70	* AChildShallLeadThem: Averted. The rebels and her Mandalorian supporters want her to lead Mandalore in a war against the Empire. However, even when her family problems are resolved, she still [[RefusalOfTheCall refuses to do so]] because she doesn't believe she is capable of leadership (due to being both unconfident and lack of sufficient political experience). Instead, she vows to find someone else who can lead Mandalore. She may be 18/19 by the time this is brought up, but it's still relatively young in comparison to the older and more experienced Mandalorian warriors.
71	* ChildOfTwoWorlds: As of ''Series/{{Ahsoka}}'', she has taken Jedi training from Ahsoka in the past and returns to it in this show. She embraces both, donning her Mandalorian armor and meditating in front of her helmet.
72	* TheChooserOfTheOne: Since she rejects leading Mandalore herself, she ultimately becomes the one to choose the next leader. [[spoiler:After some consideration, she endorses Bo-Katan and gives her the Darksaber, officially "crowning" her as leader. Sadly, as ''Series/TheMandalorian'' shows, the leadership didn't stick and she lost the Darksaber to Moff Gideon.]]
73	* CombatPragmatist: She will happily bring a flamethrower to a swordfight.
74	* CoolBigSis: For all intents and purposes, she's this to Ezra and has a BigSisterInstinct over him. Partly stems from the fact that she has a brother of her own on Mandalore. Over time, they also grow into being [[BashBrothers a Bash Brother and a Smash Sister.]]
75	* CoolHelmet: Wears the standard awesome Mandalorian helmet, in the female variation with the [[MasculineLinesFeminineCurves bird-shaped eye slits]].
76	* CoolSword: In ''Rebels'' season 3, she gets her hands on the Darksaber, a unique black-bladed lightsaber shaped like a katana. [[spoiler:After Ezra goes missing, she takes up his lightsaber, and though she insists it still belongs to him, Huyang points out she's modified it in the years since, and as far as he's concerned, it's hers.]]
77	* CunningLinguist: She has an affinity for languages, often serving as a translator for her comrades. In [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E01DroidsInDistress "Droids in Distress"]], she uses this skill to trick Minister Maketh Tua into going to the wrong hanger by mistranslating what Amda Wabo was telling her.
78	* DarkAndTroubledPast: She used to be a [[TheAce child prodigy]] at [[AcademyOfEvil the Mandalorian Imperial Academy]], trained in espionage. But, due to being "young and arrogant", she ended up [[spoiler:creating deadly weapons for them [[BrokenPedestal that ended up being used on the people she knew and loved]]. Realizing what she had truly done, she tried to stop it and spoke out against the Empire. Her efforts caused her family to outright disown her and stand by the Empire, breaking her heart]]. [[DefectorFromDecadence Ultimately, she chose to break ranks with the Empire]] with Ketsu and fled Mandalore to prevent further damage. The two became bounty hunters that aimed to join Black Sun, until Ketsu left her for dead. She ended up joining the ''Ghost'' crew with persuasion from Kanan. The ordeal caused her to develop some severe trust issues, always wanting to know the full truth during missions. Her clan was also part of House Vizsla, and by extension, Death Watch. Then, as a result of said missions, [[spoiler:Kanan, her father-figure, dies saving everyone's lives, and Ezra, whom she grows to consider a brother, sends himself into parts unknown to take Thrawn out of the picture and give the Rebellion a chance to win.]] Despite being taken under an apprenticeship to Ahsoka Tano [[spoiler:to find Ezra]], things turned out badly due to a lack of trust on Ahsoka's part, and a hesitancy on Sabine's part, which only gets worse when [[spoiler:the Empire slaughtered all of Mandalore, including her entire family]], causing her to sulk back to Lothal and remain embittered and cynical despite all the Rebellion did.
79	* DarkIsNotEvil: She intends on using the Darksaber for good. Unlike Pre or Maul, she'll use it to align the clans for a good cause, not for pointless bloodshed and violence.
80	* DeadpanSnarker: She's quite sarcastic under certain circumstances, like when she's trolling the Empire or turning down Ezra.
81	* DefectorFromDecadence: In [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E05OutOfDarkness "Out of Darkness"]], it's revealed she used to be an Imperial cadet.
82	* DefrostingIceQueen: She tends to be dismissive to people that aren't the ''Ghost'' crew or helpless citizens, and she doesn't completely warm up to Ezra until around [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E06EmpireDay "Empire Day"]] when learning of his tragic past thanks to the Empire.
83	* DemolitionsExpert: Her role on the ''Ghost'' crew is making explosions, and doing it with style. She says her skill in this is a "Wren specialty".
84	* {{Determinator}}: Showcased in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E13TrialsOfTheDarksaber "Trials of the Darksaber"]]. After almost {{Rage Quit}}ing, she later gets [[IShallTauntYou taunted]] by [[TheMentor Kanan]] to make her training more effective.
85	-->'''Sabine:''' [[BadassBoast I don't give up. I]] ''[[BadassBoast never]]'' [[BadassBoast give up!]]
86	* {{Deuteragonist}}: The other teen with Ezra, and she gets almost as much story coverage as he. It's telling that of all the members of the ''Ghost'' crew to appear on the Season 3 poster, she is the only other one outside of Ezra and Chopper, and she's by far the largest of them. %%She is also this to Ahsoka in Series/{{Ahsoka}} as she is on quest together with her while has personal goal to find Ezra.
87	* DramaticIrony: In ''Rebels'' seasons 1 and 2 and sometime before that, she struggled with trust and following other people. After acquiring the Darksaber in Season 3, she has to make others trust and follow her.
88	* DyeHard:
89	** In-universe. Her hair is usually dyed two different colors, with a different combination each season. When she goes back to her [[https://lumiere-a.akamaihd.net/v1/images/rebels-304-the-antilles-extraction_001e185b.jpeg?region=236%2C0%2C1170%2C878&width=480 natural dark brown to infiltrate Skystrike Academy]] in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E02TheAntillesExtraction "The Antilles Extraction"]], it's quite jarring. When she also meets back up with her brother on Mandalore, the first thing he comments on is that she's changed her hair color again. Her response? "You know ''me''."
90	** Downplayed in Season 4, as she just dyes the tips of the hair while leaving the rest natural. After Sabine switches to a new shaved-head/pixie cut in the epilogue, she is shown to go back to full-hair dyeing, albeit with a single color. [[spoiler:As it appears, she settled on purple hair after experimenting with that in Seasons 3 and 4.]][[note]]Though as shown ''Ahsoka'' she did dyed her hair two colors, but as she allowed her hair grow longer, the secondary color was in the long part of her hair, which she ends up cutting before joining Ahsoka to find Ezra.[[/note]]
91	* EmpoweredBadassNormal: She's a fearsome Mandalorian warrior right from the outset, and ''Ahsoka'' reveals she's been undergoing Jedi training. [[spoiler:The series ends with her unlocking the ability to use telekinesis through the Force.]]
92	* EvilIsCool: In-universe, regarding the Mandalorian conflicts, is actually averted. According to [[AllThereInTheManual her sketchbook journal]], she thinks the Shadow Collective supercommandos look cool, but the rest of her comments regarding things like them or the other Mandalorian topics are fairly neutral-minded or vague/unstated. We at least know that she does seem to condone the unruly acts Death Watch and other BloodKnight Mandalorians have committed, but she's not above admitting they have nice armor designs.
93	* TheExile: [[spoiler:She does have a living family]], but fleeing from the Empire also meant her exile from Mandalore. After the Empire's purge of Mandalore [[spoiler:(whose victims include her entire family and clan)]], she shares this trait with all surviving Mandalorians.
94	* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Sabine always wore her hair short in ''Rebels'', but her first appearance in ''Ahsoka'' shows her having let her hair grow long, a visual sign of the depression she's been in since [[spoiler:her family's deaths in the Night of a Thousand Tears and Ahsoka abandoning her Jedi training]]. Cutting her hair into a pixie cut in the second episode signifies [[HesBack her readiness to jump back into the fray]].
95	* {{Expy}}: [[WordOfGod According to]] [[https://twitter.com/pablohidalgo/status/766721204463898624 Pablo Hidalgo]], Rook Kast was kept in mind when she was designed, which is something you can definitely seen in the concept art that was displayed in Sabine's promotional introduction video.
96	* FaceYourFears: In the "Ocean Rescue" comic strip, we find out that Sabine has a bad history with water (particularly large amounts like a body of water) back in the Academy. She is forced to go through an underwater Imperial base in order to rescue a friend who helped her defect, though she does end up getting her oxygen tank messed up at one point during the mission.
97	* FamedInStory: Her anti-Imperial graffiti has spread throughout the galaxy, and is used in official Rebel propaganda. She's also known for having developed the Rebel Starbird/Phoenix insignia.
98	* FireBreathingWeapon: Like most Mandalorian warriors, she has a flamethrower attached to her forearms.
99	* {{Foreshadowing}}: In ''Rebels'', Sabine briefly wields the Darksaber, created and used by the first ever Mandalorian Jedi, Tarre Vizsla. ''Ahsoka'' sees her follow in Tarre's footsteps, training to become a Jedi herself.
100	* GenericGraffiti: Practices making this a hobby, and is the main source of it on the show. It starts to backfire when Thrawn comes into the picture, since analysis by art is a speciality of his.
101	* GeniusBruiser: Is an {{Omniglot}}, a brilliant tactician, munitions and chemistry expert, probably the most well-read member of the ''Ghost'' crew, and is easily the all-around smartest. She's also a LightningBruiser able to keep up with two Jedi and a Lasat.
102	* GunsAkimbo: Sabine [[DualWielding dual wields]] blaster pistols.
103	* TheGunslinger: She uses twin WESTAR-35 blaster pistols and has a shooting style similar to Jango Fett.
104	* GunTwirling: She starts doing this more often as Season 1 progresses.
105	* HartmanHips: Sabine's fit posterior has some very nice [[SupermodelStrut sashay]] to it.
106	* HeelFaceDoorSlam: When she tried to stop the [[spoiler:lethal Imperial weapons she helped create and were thus used on innocent people and people she loved]], her family felt like the damage was irreversible and felt obligated to stay with the Empire instead of her.
107	* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Averted. She wears her helmet when appropriate. In [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsTheSiegeOfLothal "The Siege of Lothal"]], [[DeconstructedTrope this aversion saves her life when Darth Vader deflects one of her own blaster shots back into her face]].
108	* HiddenDepths: As unveiled in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E13TrialsOfTheDarksaber "Trials of the Darksaber"]]. Behind her cocky, show-offish personality hides someone who has been deeply hurt by a [[TraumaCongaLine long series of personal tragedies]], explaining why she isn't very trusting of others. [[spoiler:Being abandoned by her family and her only friend alike certainly didn't help.]]
109	* HighlyVisibleNinja:
110	** While she's not a ninja, her usual role of infiltration and sabotage, combined with her martial prowess does make her similar to one. Except for the fact that she's wearing bright, colorful -- mostly pink -- armor.
111	** Downplayed later on. After her run-in with Darth Vader, she switches her armor's color palette from bright pink to a darker orange for the sake of being more tactical. She adds violet and a couple of other bright colors in Season 3 though.
112	* HonoraryAunt: [[spoiler:Jacen’s]] first line is calling Sabine his aunt.
113	* HypocriticalHumor: Derogatorily calling Stormtroopers "Bucketheads" doesn't quite have the same sting when she says it since ''she's'' got a full-cover helmet too. The term has even been [[FantasticRacism used as a slur against Mandalorians]] in the ''[[Franchise/StarWarsLegends Legends]]'' (the non-canon ExpandedUniverse) continuity.
114	* IAmNotMyFather: Unlike her mother, Sabine is not [[spoiler:a member of Death Watch]]. Though her [[AllThereInTheManual sketchbook journal]] suggests she's at least neutral on her stance regarding Bo-Katan, Death Watch, and the Supercommandos due to lack of any comments besides admitting that the spikes on the Supercommandos' helmets look cool, and in the same scene where she declares her House and Clan, she has no problem with boasting that her family taught her the traditional Mandalorian ways at the same time.
115	* IChooseToStay:
116	** After defeating Gar Saxon, she and Fenn Rau choose to stay with her recently-reconciled family so that she can give the Darksaber to someone worthy of leading the Mandalorian Resistance as well as helping her family rescue her father from Imperial imprisonment. Once those two tasks are done, she returns to the Alliance.
117	** [[spoiler:At the end of ''Rebels'', she, along with numerous other rebels, chooses to stay behind on the recently-liberated Lothal to help keep it free from Imperial control, both out of obligation and in memory of Ezra. After the end of the Galactic Civil War and rebuilding Lothal, she leaves with Ahsoka to explore the Galaxy to find Ezra and bring him home.]]
118	** [[spoiler:At the end of ''Ahsoka'', rather than join Ezra on the departing ''Chimaera'', Sabine chooses to stay on Peridea to help Ahsoka, willingly stranding herself alongside her Jedi Master.]]
119	* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Mainly stems from the fact that traditional Mandalorian culture ruined her life and is not practical, especially in this age, which is why she ultimately chooses to go against some of its ideals.
120	** Kanan outright tells her this when she invokes the code to fight Rau in single combat to the death to avenge Hera, as it would mean both Rau and Sabine kill for no good reason other than it is [[BloodKnight the Mandalorian way]]. She instead spares Rau and takes him prisoner. This eventually leads to Rau joining the Rebellion on his own.
121	** The above example ends up becoming a lesson learned for Sabine. After defeating Saxon in lightsaber combat, she has him at the throat, demanding that he yield to her. [[DefiantToTheEnd He refuses]], telling her that she'd have to kill him -- an arguably honorable and thus merciful death per Mandalorian customs. Sabine knows all too well that it would be [[DirtyCoward the easy way out and that he doesn't deserve it]], instead opting to [[CruelMercy spare him]]. Killing him may be the Mandalorian way, [[ThouShaltNotKill letting him live like nothing is wrong]] may be the Jedi way, but neither of those are her way. Not anymore.
122	* ImmuneToBullets: Her beskar armor is impervious to blaster bolts and lightsabers. In Season 2 of ''Rebels'', this saves her life when Darth Vader deflects her blaster bolt right into her helmet. While training with the Darksaber in Season 3, her vambraces stop the weapon from slicing right through her arm when she slips. By the time of ''Ahsoka,'' she's experienced enough to exploit this property of her armor to deflect blaster bolts back where they came from.
123	* InsufferableGenius: Having been a proud ChildProdigy, she is over-confident in her abilities to the point where she refuses to listen to more practical propositions when she feels wronged, and if this is caused by an ally, she simply assumes they don't trust her.
124	* IWillFindYou: [[spoiler:Ezra entrusts her to find him once the war is over, which she carries out with Ahsoka after the Battle of Endor when Lothal is safe again.]]
125	[[/folder]]
126
127	[[folder:J-Z]]
128	* JeanneDArchetype: As the wielder of the Darksaber, she's instrumental in uniting and liberating Mandalore from the Empire. She even leads them into battle with the Darksaber held over her head at one point. [[spoiler:And like Joan, she rejects political power.]]
129	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's rather blunt and rude, but still ultimately one of the good guys and dearly cares for her ''Ghost'' family.
130	* KnightInShiningArmor: Already a Mandalorian clad in ancestral beskar armor, during the gap between the end of ''Rebels'' and the beginning of ''Ahsoka'', Sabine began training to become a Jedi.
131	* LaserBlade: She takes the Darksaber from Dathomir after seeing it on the floor. After much convincing from Kanan and Fenn Rau, she takes it up and trains with it to unite Mandalore once more. When Ursa gives it to Gar Saxon, Ezra lends her his green lightsaber to duel Saxon and take the Darksaber back. After Ezra leaves with Thrawn, he gives her his lightsaber to keep. After she modifies it to better match her needs, Huyang insists it's ''her'' lightsaber, not Ezra's.
132	* LastOfHerKind: Following the [[Series/TheMandalorian Great Purge]], she (along with Din Djarin and other members of the scattered Mandalorian enclaves) is one of the last surviving Mandalorians. [[spoiler:Based on Baylan's comments and Huyang's later confirmation, she's also the last surviving member of Clan Wren, with the rest of her family killed during the Purge.]]
133	* {{Leitmotif}}: Gets one in ''Rebels'' season 3. Lo and behold, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu4Ic5c1hMo the Sabine Suite]].
134	* LightningLash: The vambraces she gets in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E13TrialsOfTheDarksaber "Trials of the Darksaber"]] have an electro-whip among their gadgetry.
135	* LikeBrotherAndSister: To [[CoolBigBro Zeb]]. It turns out this partly comes from her having a brother of her own on Mandalore.
136	* LikeParentLikeChild:
137	** Surrogate example. Kanan and Sabine are similar in that the both of them have low self-confidence whenever their pasts are brought up after a long time or are related to the current situation, which leads to them having a catharsis but thanks to that are able to overcome it when a physical opponent that represents their problem challenges them.
138	** According to Sabine's father, he finds both [[spoiler:Ursa]] and Sabine stubborn.
139	* MadeOfIron: Gets directly run through with a lightsaber at the beginning of ''Ahsoka''. It only takes one episode in a hospital before she's back to full fighting strength.
140	* MasterApprenticeChain: As Ahsoka's Padawan learner, Sabine becomes part of a very distinctive one; [[OldMaster Yoda]] --> [[TheParagonAlwaysRebels Dooku]] --> [[TheLastDJ Qui-Gon Jinn]] --> [[KnightInShiningArmor Obi-Wan Kenobi]] --> [[TheChosenOne Anakin Skywalker]] --> [[KnightErrant Ahsoka Tano]] --> [[{{Deuteragonist}} Sabine Wren]]. Huyang even remarks to Ahsoka on how both she and Sabine are part of a long line of "unconventional" Jedi.
141	* MidSeasonUpgrade:
142	** She gets a {{jetpack}} in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E05ImperialSupercommandos "Imperial Supercommandos"]] (though it is temporarily wrecked until [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E11GhostsOfGeonosisPartII "Ghosts of Geonosis"]]), and the [[spoiler:Darksaber]] in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E09VisionsAndVoices "Visions and Voices"]].
143	** In the second half of Season 3, she gets a retractable electro-whip (which is what the Zygerrians used) and a Mandalorian energy shield, which she uses to replace her remote gauntlets.
144	** She also occasionally wears extra gear on missions starting from [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E10VisionOfHope "Vision of Hope"]].
145	** In the final episode of ''Ahsoka'', she [[spoiler:finally unlocks her Force potential after trying multiple times over the course of the series]].
146	* MindOverMatter: [[spoiler:The finale of ''Ahsoka'' sees Sabine unlock her potential in the Force, gaining telekinetic powers.]]
147	* MomentOfWeakness: [[spoiler:In "[[Recap/AhsokaS1E4FallenJedi Fallen Jedi]]", after Ahsoka falls to her apparent death, Sabine is left alone with Baylan, who uses Sabine's traumas and her desire to see Ezra again to [[BreakThemByTalking verbally break her down]] and convince her to surrender the all-important star map and join the expedition to find Thrawn as a willing prisoner.]]
148	* MotiveRant: To get Sabine to find balance in herself to be able to use the Darksaber proficiently, Kanan raises her ire so that she can know why she's chosen the path she's taking now. Sabine reveals that she left Mandalore not out of cowardice, but out of shame and wanting to protect the people she loved in the best way that she possibly could at the time. She's on the verge of ''tears'' by the end of it.
149	* MsFanservice: A minor example in ''Ahsoka'', the camera isn't shy about checking out her body and the plot isn't afraid to put her in semi-revealing clothes like a midriff baring workout ensemble.
150	* TheMusketeer: As of ''Ahsoka'', she wields Ezra Bridger's old lightsaber in combat, but still retains proficiency in blasters and will make use of them as the situation demands.
151	* MyGreatestFailure: Indirectly helping the Empire gain a better grip on her world by creating weapons of mass destruction, forcing her people to stand in line out of fear for their lives.
152	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: The Imperial weapons she helped create (which were disguised as a school assignment at the academy she attended for a "What if?" scenario) were used to essentially enslave her people.
153	* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
154	** The speculation that Sabine's artwork would cause problems for the Rebels when [[AwesomenessByAnalysis Thrawn]] came on the scene was rampant, and in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E15ThroughImperialEyes "Through Imperial Eyes"]] it comes true, in a roundabout fashion: [[spoiler:She painted the helmet that Ezra was wearing while disguised as a bounty hunter, which, at the end of the episode, leads Thrawn to deduce that Kallus is Fulcrum.]]
155	** Letting Bo-Katan keep the Darksaber rather than have a duel over it as per Mandalorian tradition causes the Empire to come down harder on Mandalore and [[AvengingTheVillain avenge Tiber Saxon]] [[spoiler:by sending in Moff Gideon to bomb the hell out of the planet, slaughter most of its people, including all of Clan Wren, in the [[FinalSolution Night of a Thousand Tears]], and for the Moff himself to steal the Darksaber from Bo-Katan, as well as using the planet itself as a base for his Imperial Remnant cell, meaning [[HistoryRepeats that Sabine doomed her homeworld again, this time while a member of the Rebellion]]]].
156	** During the [[Recap/AhsokaS1E1Chapter1MasterAndApprentice first episode]] of ''Ahsoka'', she blows off Ahsoka's insistence that the map doesn't leave her side since Morgan and her allies who want to find Thrawn could use it to rescue him from his exile. Sure enough, Shin and 2 [=HK-87=] Assassin Droids raid Ezra's comms tower once Sabine has fully deciphered the map to obtain it.
157	** Later, despite Ahsoka's orders to destroy the map, [[spoiler:she's persuaded by Baylan to hand it over to him after he exploits her need to find Ezra. This enables Morgan to finish calculating the hyperspace coordinates she needs to find Thrawn. Baylan then destroys the map to stop anyone from following and takes Sabine along as a prisoner when they jump to the other galaxy.]]
158	* NobleFugitive: Due to Mandalorian culture having a nobility system going on, she's the daughter of a countess and is wanted by Imperial law.
159	* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: When Sabine learns that the weapons she was helping build are being used by the Empire against her people, she tries to speak out. She is abandoned by her family and driven off Mandalore for her trouble, with her clan declaring her a traitor and the Empire putting a bounty on her head.
160	* NonconformistDyedHair: Sabine Wren is a member of the early rebel alliance with a knack for explosives and a flair for art. She delights in decorating her armor in bright colors (which she wouldn't be allowed to do had she remained in Mandalore), repainting drab Imperial equipment, and leaving graffiti behind after her exploits. She dyes her dark brown BoyishShortHair bright hues like turquoise and blue, with the colors changing each season.
161	* NonUniformUniform: Not quite a "uniform", but her outfit is slightly different from what we've seen so far of Mandalorian warriors. Most Mandalorian armor has a base color(s) with a neutral color and/or colors that mostly serve to stand out & don't have any coordination, while Sabine uses all sorts of colors to complement each other. Her tan-colored pants also just seems to be pants rather than another piece of body glove, which used in combination with her minimal use of armor, seems a bit like a combination of the New Mandalorians (the pants are reminiscent of Duchess Satine's casual outfit) and the Mandalorian warriors (the armor).
162	* OlderThanTheyLook: In the epilogue to Rebels, her 29/30-year-old self doesn't look much different than when she was a teenager, though it's probably just due to the drawing style. This is averted in the live action version, where Sabine is played by a clearly adult-looking actress.
163	* {{Omniglot}}: She speaks Basic, Mando'a, Shyriiwook (the Wookiee language), Huttese, Aqualish, and Rodian, among others. She can also understand Droidspeak. ''[[{{Novelization}} The Rebellion Begins]]'' reveals that this was required in her curriculum, with supporting material also saying that she was being trained for espionage.
164	* OnceASeason: Every season of ''Rebels'', she changes the colors of her hair and armor.
165	* OneDegreeOfSeparation: In an episode of ''Forces of Destiny'', she met and briefly teamed up with Jyn Erso during a mission on Garel, the two having both been fleeing from Stormtroopers.
166	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Despite being ambitious and eager, she initially ''refuses'' to take up the Darksaber, aware that she would have to take up the responsibility of leading the people she had betrayed and in turn have disowned her. Kanan manages to get through Sabine to help her find the root of this guilt, and when she has her MotiveRant, she's on the verge of crying about being abandoned.
167	* OohMeAccentsSlipping: In her live-action appearance in ''Ahsoka'', Creator/NatashaLiuBordizzo's natural Australian accent frequently creeps when she's speaking, even though Sabine has an American-sounding voice.
168	* OurWeaponsWillBeBoxyInTheFuture: Sabine's WESTAR-35 blaster pistols are bricks with a grip, which is pretty standard for Mandalorian weapons.
169	* ParentalAbandonment: When Sabine attempted to atone for what she had done by speaking out against the Empire, her family did not stand by her and instead chose the Empire.
170	* PintSizedPowerhouse: Downplayed. While she was cringing in pain and holding her hand afterward, she still managed to knock out a Stormtrooper through their helmet. She also shares a bit of TheBigGuy position with Zeb; while Zeb is a strong power, she's more fast power. And that's before factoring her predilection for [[StuffBlowingUp explosives]].
171	* ProudWarriorRaceGirl: Not to the extent of Death Watch, but when accused of stealing her armor, she angrily retorts that she forged it with her family. Season 3 has more information on her relationship with the Mandalorian warrior ways and, while she is loyal to Mandalore and follows most of the customs, she's very critical of it and if forced to choose will put her personal code above tradition. This is especially apparent when [[spoiler:she spares Saxon at the end of her duel with him]] even though most Mandos would have killed him, as he does not deserve an honorable death.
172	* PutOnABus: As of [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E14LegacyOfMandalore "Legacy of Mandalore"]], Sabine has to leave the Rebellion and stay in the Mandalore Sector to liberate them from the Empire. She doesn't return to their aid until the season finale. However, she still cannot return to the Rebel Alliance after the battle ends, as there is still much to be done for Mandalore. TheBusCameBack for good in Season 4.
173	* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: Downplayed. Her mother is a countess and her clan is "legendary" according to AllThereInTheManual, but she never makes note of this to the other rebels due to its irrelevancy outside of Mandalorian culture, and that mentioning it to any other Mandalorian would just cause them to brush it off due to Sabine's own track record, rather than being awed at her connections that she shamed or that other Mandalorians don't really care about as many probably hold noble titles of their own.
174	* RebelliousPrincess: She's the eldest child of the countess of Clan Wren, but after the Empire abused her invention, the Duchess, she defected to the Rebellion and was exiled from her home as a result.
175	* RefusalOfTheCall: Despite taking it, she initially refuses to take up the Darksaber and the responsibility of leading her people. [[spoiler:Even after she works through her issues with her family and decides to build the rebellion on Mandalore, she realizes that she still does not want to lead Mandalore and vows to find the person who truly deserves it.]]
176	* RenaissanceMan: She's the designated DemolitionsExpert and her passion is art, but she also serves as the team's translator, hacker, electronics expert and combatant.
177	* {{Retcon}}: Before ''Rebels'' season 3, supplementary material stated that her homeworld is Mandalore, which is technically true of all Mandalorians, but her true homeworld is the Mandalorian colony world of Krownest. That is, unless she was ''born'' on Mandalore. However, most of her time on Mandalore was due to being a student at the Mandalorian Imperial Academy.
178	* TheRunaway: According to "Ocean Rescue", she was on the run from ground troops after she deserted from the Academy.
179	* SavedByCanon: Twice! [[spoiler:The epilogue of ''Rebels'' shows her having survived past the Battle of Endor and preparing to embark on a voyage with Ahsoka. Aside from indicating that she's survived the overall Galactic Civil War, ''Series/TheMandalorian'' implies that the vast majority of the Mandalorian people were wiped out during the Great Purge while they were under Imperial rule, making her one of the last surviving Mandalorians as well.]]
180	* SupermodelStrut: Sabine sways her hips when she walks.
181	* ShipperOnDeck:
182	** A strange, platonic version. [[AllThereInTheManual Apparently]] she made a drawing of Zeb and [[spoiler:Kallus]] hugging each other, implying she encourages their unlikely friendship.
183	** Implied to be this for Hera and Kanan, as when she [[spoiler:nudges Zeb to see the couple kiss while giving a clear smile]].
184	* ShipTease: Played With. Ezra has a crush in the first season but it's subverted because it never goes anywhere. They eventually have more moments in the second and third, and fourth season. Yet in ''Ahsoka'', while Ezra refers to Sabine as a "sister", she seems to be carrying more of a torch in this than she did during Rebels, living in his tower, playing his message, waking up saying his name. Even their reunion came off as seemingly romantic in nature as the scene transitions away to their feet, resembling almost like a KissingDiscretionShot, except there's no kissing.
185	* SigilSpam: Leaves the phoenix symbol of the rebels every opportunity she can. This would later be used by the Rebel Alliance as its official symbol. [[spoiler:That probably ties in with her becoming a famous Rebel Alliance propagandist.]]
186	* SignificantWardrobeShift:
187	** After Darth Vader nearly kills her in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsTheSiegeOfLothal "The Siege of Lothal"]], she repaints her armor with an orange color scheme and dyes her hair blue. According to Dave Filoni, it's partially to show that she's constantly experimenting and partially because her encounter with Vader shook her up and she felt the need for change.
188	** In Season 3, not only does she change her color scheme again, but she adds more pieces of armor and got a haircut, making her look more mature and older than before the TimeSkip, as she is now roughly 19 years old and also signifies the growth over the years of the Rebellion from a RagtagBunchOfMisfits to TheAlliance.
189	* SinsOfOurFathers: Her mother was apparently a member of Death Watch, a Mandalorian terrorist group during the Clone Wars. This gives Sabine trouble when she has to explain that she's not one of them to the Protectors, a group of Mandalorian lawmen.
190	* TheSmartGirl: The team's resident engineer, translator, demolitions expert and infiltrator. There are very few things she can't fix, repair or build.
191	* SoleSurvivor: During their conversation on Seatos, Baylan implies that [[spoiler:Clan Wren was wiped out on Mandalore during the Great Purge, making her the last known living member of her family after the Empire's genocide. This is later fully confirmed by Huyang when telling Ezra why things where tense between Sabine and Ahsoka.]]
192	* SplashOfColor: Invoked. The Empire has a monochrome color scheme, which she loves painting over in vivid colors.
193	* StealthHiBye: Sabine can just vanish when someone turns away for one second. Or appear somewhere else as if she teleported. She can even plant explosives right behind someone when they aren't looking. She exploits this to create a diversion for the rest of the crew.
194	* SugarAndIcePersonality: Even after eventually warming to the ''Ghost'' crew, she can still be very cold towards those that aren't in her inner circle.
195	* SuperWristGadget:
196	** She starts off with a pair of computerized bracers that she uses to slice into computer systems.
197	** In [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E13TrialsOfTheDarksaber "Trials of the Darksaber"]], Fenn Rau gives her a pair of Mandalorian vambraces, containing a flamethrower, taser darts, electro-whip and energy buckler -- at least, that's what's been seen so far.
198	* SwordAndGun: She starts using Ezra's lightsaber in conjunction with her blasters and other ranged weapons after [[spoiler:reuniting with him]]. Beforehand, she used the lightsaber [[TheMusketeer separately from her other weapons]].
199	* TaughtByExperience: Fighting virtually nonstop as a bounty hunter and rebel has more than made up for her ditching the Academy and Mandalorian culture at a young age, to the point where she can hold her own against a Supercommando while injured and unarmed.
200	* TeenGenius: 16 (initially) and a female RenaissanceMan. It's implied that she was fast-tracked through the Imperial academy, as her former classmate Ketsu Onyo is much older than her.
201	* TokenHeroicOrc: In [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars the previous series]], Mandalorian supercommandos were almost entirely evil, and morally grey at best. Sabine is not only a main protagonist, but she is also one of the most moral characters of the series. In addition, before joining the crew of the ''Ghost'', she was a student at the Imperial Academy on Mandalore. To boot, her family was aligned with Death Watch, which in the intervening years have become the Empire's puppets.
202	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Hera's girly girl, and the girly girl to Ketsu's tomboy.
203	* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Mandalorian warrior, likes explosions, paints graffiti... and [[PinkMeansFeminine wears pink armor]] up until the Season 2 premiere. And the hair dye. Just... the hair dye.
204	* TookALevelInCynic: By the time ''Ahsoka'' rolls around, [[spoiler:Sabine has been living on Lothal and stewing in the aftermath of Ezra's disappearance and an intervening period as Ahsoka's unsuccessful apprentice, having grown isolated and embittered. It takes Ahsoka coming back into her life to get her meaningfully moving again. Even so, it's shown that losing her family on Manadalore due to the Night of A Thousand Tears and Ahsoka's unwillingness to trust her to help resulted in her setback.]]
205	* TraumaCongaLine: Sabine’s life has been one tragic event after another.
206	** Before ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'' when she was bright eyed and naive, she created weapons during her time has an Imperial cadet [[UnwittingPawn only for the Empire to turn those weapons on her own people]]. Relaizing her mistake she would speak out against the Empire [[ParentalAbandonment only for her family to turn on her]] and side with the Empire. Forced on the run, she and her friend Ketsu would take up being bounty hunters but Ketsu at some point would leave her for dead. Sabine would eventually reconcile with both [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E14LegacyOfMandalore her family]] and [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E06BloodSisters Ketsu]] but the experience would leave her with abandonment and trust issues.
207	** By the time she is introduced in ''Rebels'' she has been part of the Ghost Crew and [[FamilyOfChoice has come to see them as her family]] and had a few good years with them. [[spoiler:[[HeroicSacrifice Then her father figure, Kanan, dies sacrificing himself to save her, Ezra and Hera from an explosion. Shortly after that Ezra disappears in his own sacrifice to take Thrawn as far away as possible.]]]]
208	** Sometime after the Liberating of Lothal she would take on being [[spoiler:Ahsoka’s apprentice in a bid to become a Jedi like Kanan and Ezra]] only for the [[FinalSolution Night of a Thousand Tears]] to happen and most of her people being wiped out, [[spoiler:her family among them]]. [[spoiler:Ahsoka would then cut her training off and leave her]]. Making Sabine think she didn’t trust her.
209	** At the start of the ''[[Series/{{Ahsoka}} Ahsoka series]]'' Sabine has [[TookALevelInCynic isolated herself on Lothal and has become embittered]]. Then Ahsoka shows up with a way to fined Ezra with a star map. However, the map also leads to [[TheDreaded Thrawn]], who the enemy is trying to find. The moment Sabine unlocks it they steal it from her. She joins up with Ahsoka and they [[spoiler:restart their master and apprentice relationship and begin to mend their bond with each other.]] Then Ahsoka tells her that they may need to destroy the map to prevent Thrawn's return. When Ahsoka [[spoiler:gets thrown off a cliff in front of her]], Baylan begins to push all of Sabine’s [[TraumaButton trauma buttons]] and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulates]] her into surrendering the map and herself on the promise to reunite her with Ezra and [[BreakThemByTalking succeeds in doing so]].
210	* UndyingLoyalty: In ''Ahsoka'', [[spoiler:she ends up developing this for Ahsoka, to the point of giving up returning to the main galaxy with Ezra to help her]].
211	* UnexplainedRecovery:
212	** At the end of [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E06BloodSisters "Blood Sisters"]], she left her helmet on either the destroyed shuttle or the ''Shadow Caster'' (meaning Ketsu had to come back to return it), but it comes back a couple of episodes later.
213	** In the ending of [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E05ImperialSupercommandos "Imperial Supercommandos"]], Saxon kicks away her blasters into an irretrievable area and the heroes leave the scene in a hurry. As the system of Concord Dawn is likely occupied by the ISC now, there's not much reason to go back then just for a pair of blasters. Though it's also possible that Sabine has a backup pair.
214	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom:
215	** Her habit of leaving graffiti behind after her exploits [[NiceJobBreakingItHero come to bite her crewmates in the ass]] when [[AwesomenessByAnalysis Thrawn]], [[WickedCultured art enthusiast]] and [[TheChessmaster Imperial mastermind]], become a part of the equation and uses the information he can analyze from her artwork against her and her friends.
216	** Back when she was still with the Empire, she helped them build weapons. They turned out to be weapons of mass destruction, and the Empire promptly turned them on Mandalore and Sabine's loved ones.
217	** After acquiring the Darksaber -- the traditional symbol of Mandalorian leadership -- she hands it over to Bo-Katan. The Darksaber is meant to be wielded only by one who has captured it in battle, and Mandalorian legend states that if it falls into unworthy hands it will bring about catastrophe. Sure enough, Mandalore is razed by the Empire under Bo-Katan's leadership, and its people scattered by Moff Gideon. [[spoiler:It gets worse when a conversation with Baylan reveals that Sabine's family died in the purge, meaning her actions got her entire clan killed.]]
218	* VitriolicBestBuds: With Ezra. She can barely stand him most of the time, but they are friends.
219	* WaifFu:
220	** She doesn't wear as much armor as most Mandalorian warriors in order to to be faster and more flexible in hand-to-hand combat since Sabine relies heavily on body elasticity (a usual choice in real life female fighters) rather than muscle. (She even comments that it's fairly painful for her to punch a bigger opponent.) Nonetheless, she's still a highly competent fighter. A combination of swift kicks and punches with well-timed evasion allows her to hold her own against Gar Saxon himself for a while.
221	** Sabine is so fit that she can do gymnastics-style double backflips (a feat that requires unmatched flexibility in real life) like a Jedi (''who do this with the help of the Force, mind you'') while sparring with her brother and keep up with Kanan while learning lightsaber combat leaping across rocks at improbable angles, despite no indication she has any Force sensitivity. (However, Kanan was clearly holding back and allowing her to wail on him to help her cope with her emotional issues.)
222	* WeakButSkilled: Compared to [[UnskilledButStrong Shin Hati]], she's not as strong in The Force and thus isn't as strong or as fast as her but is capable of keeping up with her and even pushing her back in later duels through her lightsaber training and ingenuity via using her other weapons to catch her off-guard.
223	* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: While she is protective of Chopper, she had absolutely no second thoughts about engineering the death of an innocent shuttle droid just to save herself and her friends. Then again, she's apathetic towards mostly anyone she's not close to.
224	* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Huyang delivers a BrutalHonesty appraisal of her connection to the Force, stating that she's the least of all the Padawans he's ever observed, ''all while insisting she's a Padawan and needs to continue her training''.
225	-->'''Huyang:''' The only one whose time you're wasting is your own.
226	* YouAreNotAlone: After the Empire's betrayal, her family disowning her, and Ketsu leaving her to die, she is rightfully cynical of anyone trying to connect with her or asking her to trust them. Eventually, she learns that the ''Ghost'' crew will not abandon her and will stay by her side regardless of what path she chooses.
227	* YoungerMentorOlderDisciple: One of the Jedi who taught her lightsaber combat is Ezra, who's a year and a half younger than her.
228	* ZorroMark: Sabine always leaves her phoenix symbol on walls whenever she strikes, either as graffiti or using her blasters. It seems to be based on the House Vizsla insignia, and a previous version that shows the phoenix rising out of the flames contains the V-shape in the Nite Owls symbol, with Sabine citing in-universe that it's also partly inspired by Janyor of Bith's work.
