In the 1996 anime, her true form is a giant serpent with wavy gray hair on her head and green scales.


Spriggan

Oboro is a Japanese man of unknown age with long black hair and black eyes, he also wears a black qipao as well as matching black trousers and shoes.


Spriggan

Suzuko went to Egypt to privately grieve for her father, but was soon being targeted by Neo-Nazi assassins before being forced to help Yu in dismantling Kutheimer's Egyptian faction for good. She was once his substitute world history teacher in class and like the Sasahara sisters, is the only teacher to know about Yu's secret occupation. The two were close friends after their "reunion" in school.


Spriggan

She first participates in Romania for an assignment with Yu and the others to investigate what Trident agents were doing in the country.


Spriggan

Yu is of average height for a teenager with a thin, but well muscled build. He has short, spikey black hair and brown eyes. When attending his school duty, Yu usually wears gakuran high school uniform as his daily attire. He also wears a pair of various casual t-shirt (with sleeves in winter session) with fabric trousers or jeans during his off days or missions in Japan. During his duty as a Spriggan, he wears an armored muscle suit made out of an Orichalcum material that is developed by Dr. Mayzel . With the suit, he wears a tactical vest on it, a pair of power gloves, and a protective head gear that exposes his hair. He is also usually seen wearing a bandana on his forehead and have bandages on his face from physical injuries.

To most of his friends and fellow classmates, Yu is known to be an outgoing, optimistic, and cocky individual whose kind-hearted traits made him quite popular in his school. Although he may be often regarded as lazy and vexatious, particularly when he is usually seen falling asleep during class sessions by his teachers and may cause mischief with certain people like the Sasahara sisters, he still demonstrates the willingness of living his normal, school life to the fullest by attempting to maintain his adequate attendance record and grades. The major factor that proves this desirable task to be a challenge is, unbeknownst to most of his acquaintances, him being frequently called upon by ARCAM to conduct black-ops as a Spriggan operative.
Yu is dedicated in assisting ARCAM with sealing away dangerous, ancient technologies from falling into the wrong hands. He is loyal to those who he believes is fighting for the greater cause, but has no problem turning against them if he discovers that they are corrupted, as evident by him admitting towards Iwao Akatsuki that he will cause the destruction of ARCAM with his own two hands if they were to go against their philosophy and collect artifacts for non-benevolent purposes.

Yu reflecting on his connection to his daily school life and how he refuses to simply identify himself as a war machine.

Yu's dark history involving him being one of the test subjects for the COSMOS project conducted by the U.S. army has dramatically affected his childhood life. Even after safely returning back home with his adoptive sister from the supposed COSMOS fiasco, Yu was mostly stuck in his murder machine state where he will ruthlessly kill anybody who pose a significant threat to him and his loved ones without remorse. Despite later on managing to mitigate this mental state thanks to the help of his uncle and Oboro , he still occasionally reminds himself of how much he loathes of being simply a killing machine, and thrives towards being better than what he was in his past. This is showcased several times such as him attempting to convince Jean Jacquemonde against finishing off the injured Little Boy with his SPAS-12 at Mt. Ararat, Turkey, or knocking out Trident soldiers with his fists during his mission in Romania, much to Jean's annoyance in him being reluctant in just shooting them with firearms to silence them swiftly and permanently. Yu, however, has and will still kill per his duty as a Spriggan.
Yu can be occasionally reckless and stubborn, particularly until his final fight with Oboro, he can be too reliant on his A.M. suit and vastly overestimating the power of it (which its effectiveness decreases as the manga progresses), despite Oboro advising him in ditching the suit several times. He also underestimated Colonel McDougal 's child appearance, causing him to not predict his psychic attacks when he refused his offer to surrender. Since the A.M. suit cannot greatly withstand the attack, Yu suffered excruciating pain and was nearly killed, as the result. His stubbornness can come into a positive light, however, as he is often shown to not concede easily when the odds are significantly stacked against him.

Roland's appearance lives up to his moniker as he looks like a walking corpse. The skin on his cheeks is sunken and thin as if there is no meat on them at all and his eye sockets protruded from his face like embossed carvings. His eyes gleamed with a fiery light. In the anime, his hair is a bluish green and his eyes are light blue.
After the events of Volume 2, his days in captivity did a number to what little body fat he had. [2] He grew weaker and thinner and closer to death.

Roland is shown to have no moral compass when it comes to his career as an assassin. According to Klaus, the most dangerous thing about Corpse is their complete willingness to kill civilians if the ends justify the means and would do so without a second thought. [3] Talking about ending human lives like it was some sort of menial labor. Unlike your conventional spy,  Roland appears to see assassination as a sport and grows bored when he isn't given a challenging opponent. [4] Killing people was too easy for him. Due to his profound talent, assassination had been reduced to a mere item on his daily itinerary. The question he asked himself was, what was the purpose in his life. He spent ages trying to figure it out. He prefers to be called Roland is it is what he is most used to.
As one of Purple Ant's Ants, he is forcibly obedient to him. After a long period of going around the world and killing Galgad enemies, Roland got bored as there was no goal behind the killings. All Roland was doing was following Purple Ant's orders.. He brainwashed him so he couldn't disobey. He was a slave, a puppet a machine.

Grete's a girl with a characteristic, glossy red-haired bob cut. Her body is tall and slender, with a sort of ephemeral fragility not unlike a glass sculpture.
Grete wears a mask to hide her scars that cover half of her face. The scars are a shade of black so vile it inspires disgust into all who saw it. [4] .
Her maid clothing is a frilly black dress with a white apron, white maid crown, white tights and black mary jane shoes.

Grete has a calm, ladylike personality paired with a bright, tactical mind.
Grete is also an androphobe in a very literal sense, fearing and disliking men to the point were talking to men other than Klaus makes her stomach hurt. [5] [6] Her androphobia comes from the verbal abuse she received from her dad and older brother who would frequently degrade her for her appearance and manners. This abuse causing her to feel insecure about her appearance. Grete believes that she’s gone her entire life without once ever being loved. [7]
After Grete joined Lamplight, she developed an infatuation with Klaus after he saw her birthmarked face and told her that she was beautiful. Since then, Grete developed an unbreakable romantic devotion towards Klaus.
Grete is self-conscious, downplaying her own strength and abilities to her teammates. Grete believes it comes from her desire to repay Klaus. Grete is self-aware of how her infatuation boarders on dependance or obsession, and respects Klaus as an autonomous person, one who has the freedom to not reciprocate her feelings. Grete does not follow Klaus specifically to gain his affection. (Though that is a goal of hers), but to do right by the man who returned her affection, even if her love is unrequited. [8]

Thea has straight black hair, a dazzlingly beautiful face, and a curvy figure. She's the most attractive and physically mature member of the team.
In the anime, her hair is tinted a navy blue.
Her maid uniform consists of a black dress with a white apron, white maid crown, white tights and black mary jane shoes.

Thea is a graceful, seductive femme fatale and prides herself as such. She is well aware that men find her attractive and acknowledges than she can swoon any man she desires. She often sleeps with men (and sometimes women) which she acknowledges may be due to her psychological scars from being sexually abused when she was younger [2] . She gets frustrated when her charms don't work.
Thea holds herself in high regard and she's the DeFacto leader next to Lily. [3] Now while Thea is not the official leader of Lamplight, she acts as the team's glue. Her personality is naturally caring and big sister like and takes a resonant approach to socializing with others.
Thea had been following in Veronika's footsteps since she was 11 after being kidnapped and saved by her. Veronika made a promise that Thea would become a hero and they would meet again, which drove her to becoming a spy and following that ideal. She dreamed of a bright future, one where she joined Inferno someday and worked side by side with Veronika. [4]
After Volume 3 , she began to think that becoming a hero was unattainable as spies only saved their countrymen while heroes saved their enemies too. If she kept letting her softness control her, all it was going to do was put her teammates in peril. [5] For the first time, Thea had to ask herself what kind of spy she should become.
During a breakdown, she felt as though she was a failure of a commander, just designating everything to Grete. Wondering why someone as useless as her was doing in Lamplight anyway.  She didn't think she had any real talents. Feels superior to others for petty reasons, and thought she was the weakest, most childish member of the team. [4]

Finé looked to be about eight years old. In the light novel, her body was so scrawny that she seemed ready to collapse with every breath. [1] She does wear a pale, yellow dress in a dingy state, of which she does not wear in the anime. [2] Her smile was adorable, and she had missing baby teeth.
In the anime, she wears a green dress with long sleeves, when those sleeves are pulled up, you can see her bruised arms from the abuse she suffered from her 'caretaker', Frisé. Her eyes are a shade of pale yellow, and her hair is a medium length auburn, tied up into a low ponytail and braided in the back.

Finé's voice had a mechanical amount of emotionlessness to it. That is unless she is put into an anxiety inducing situation or shown kindness. Once she let her guard down, she was a cheerful young girl just like any other.  Finé liked cats, during SSC 1, when Klaus embroidered a cat onto her skirt, it calmed her down. [3] One thing Finé was fearful of was adults reaching out to touch her, a fear caused by the abuse she suffered at Frisé's hand. When Sybilla amply reached out at her, she immediately started crying and curled up in fear. Her caretaker (which she referred to as 'daddy') said that "when you get mad at someone, it's because of how much you love them', which in turn gave Finé a confused sense of loved, shown by how she reacted to Klaus and Sybilla fighting.

Spy Classroom

Lily has a distinctively charming appearance with medium-length silver hair with two black ribbons on each side of her head and a white lily above her right ribbon. She has a slim body, large bust and ash pink eyes. [4]
Lily wears the typical Lamplight uniform: a maroon bow and brown, midi-length sleeveless dress with a scoop neckline over a white collared shirt with a maroon ribbon under the collar.
As a spy, Lily wears black tights, black heeled boots, and a short, high-waist, black, suspender dress with white trim on the bottom and four golden buttons on the front. Under the dress, she wears a dark gray shirt with slightly puffed sleeves, a ruffled collar, and a black and white ribbon tied into a bow.
Her maid clothing is a frilly black dress with a white apron, white maid crown, white tights and black mary jane shoes.

Lily is a kind, energetic and impulsive girl with a strangely positive attitude that can best be summarized with the philosophy anything goes. This gets her into a lot of trouble. Lily is a huge klutz and often acts without thinking even if she knows the right course of action. Sometimes she uses this assumption to take advantage of people who underestimate her because of her klutziness, like in Volume 4 where Lily went undercover as a waitress, pretending to enter the wrong room while delivering burgers under the guise of being careless. Lily could move freely throughout the building, and all it cost her was some exasperation from the conference attendees. It gave her the opportunity to set up bugs to the bottom of their tables while pretending to be a scatterbrained waitress. [5]
Her positive attitude is a big strength of hers in battle, causing her to take massive amounts of damage without falling and continuing to fight. This attitude stems from the indignation she felt as she watched her village and the people in it all die and was fueled by all the ridicule she faced at the academy. [6]
Lily is a kind, bubbly and good-natured girl at heart, putting in her all as Lamplight's team leader. While Lily is by no means against indulging in the luxuries of being a spy, Lily’s true motivation comes from a desire and duty to help others as a certain spy has done for her. [7] [8] . Even with her klutzy attitude and several missteps. In fact, Lily seems to be a rather self-aware individual. Not just acknowledging but understanding her flaws and overall character. And remaining unapologetic even so.

Erna has bright yellow hair, and skin so fair, it makes her skin look like porcelain. Her body is small for her age, and she had enough of a babyface that she could be mistaken for being as young as ten. [2] Her frilly dress only adds to the appearance that she’s a crafted doll. [3] Wearing a gothic Lolita styled spy outfit. Erna also wears black opaque tights underneath her dress.

Erna is by far the least talkative and least social member of Lamplight, not just from the events of Light Novel Volume 1 , but as she’s taciturn by nature. She struggled as a spy as her communication skills were sorely lacking.
While she is shy and considers herself antisocial [4] Calling her a total introvert wouldn't be accurate. Her shyness and poor communication skills don't come from a conscious and deliberate dislike of people and social situations, but from her fear and anxiety. According to Erna herself, she is talkative with people she's close to and in group settings and with a bit of effort can talk to strangers. But she struggles when it comes to talking one on one with teammates. Erna is aware of her shyness and taciturn personality and dislikes being patronized about it but is able to vocalize how her social anxiety affects her when talking to Thea even if she's struggling to get a word out. [4]
Erna desires Big Sister, shown when she calls her superiors 'Big Sis' and is incredibly lonely, as her family died in a mansion fire when she was very young. While other kids grew up with their moms and dads, Erna grew up alone and desires someone to fill the void [5]
According to Erna’s Psychiatrist, Erna believes that her survival from the mansion fire was unfair, and unconsciously tries to seek out punishment to regulate her own emotions. Its where her subconscious lure to accidents come from and why she threw herself into the world on spycraft. All because of her feelings of self-hatred and desire for atonement from her family burning in the mansion fire. Her happiness is unfair, why does she get live and be happy while her brother and sister burned alive in that fire? While she’s not suicidal, she feels intense survivors' guilt and has been a prisoner to that guilt for years.

Annette’s hair is long overdue for a haircut and has a strong ashen-pink tone, having her hair in waves, tied up in two, and curled through the force of will. She wears an eyepatch, which made her stand out even further. She constantly had a pure, and innocent look to her”. [2] .According to Thea , it's hard to find another spy in Lamplight more instantly identifiable than her. [3]

At first glance, Annette appears pure hearted, innocent and adorable--that is mostly true, until she opens her mouth. Annette is innocent to a fault and a true free spirit that comes with an inscrutable personally.
Annette lives her life without any guiding philosophy her morals, she did whatever caught her interest at the time. Her memories from before joining the spy academy are gone due to her amnesia, thus she either never developed or never retained those values.
When Thea stared into Annette's eyes for three seconds to see her deepest desire, the only thing she saw was that she wanted to grow taller [4] . She has nothing resembling a central guiding philosophy. Her heart was empty.
She has no sense of fear, not to dangerous missions or bizarre orders, and not only does she not falter or question them, but she also carries them out without hesitation or faltering. But just when you think you've figured her out, she'll reject requests for no reason and go off to do her own thing. [5] Her curiosity is incomparable and is often found in her room working on gadgets and invention that surpass even the best stuff in the Republic. Annette cares very little about privacy, leaving her door completely open regardless of what she may be doing. [6] She constantly keeps her room a mess to the point where her bed became unusable though not showing any signs of discomfort.
What makes Annette so dangerous are two things: her ability to "lose herself" (i.e., become obsessed with one thing) and her unpredictability. As Annette does not operate by any particular moral, religious, political or any sort of guidance or framework. As rare as it is, if Annette's wrath is somehow incited, there is very little that can save you, especially given how difficult it is to understand what is going on in her head in the first place even coming from intuitive masters such as Klaus or Thea . Once Annette forgets herself, there is no stopping her runaway bloodlust. [7]
Even after amnesia, Annette feels as though she's being judged as sick and twisted by others, even if these comments don't stab at her ego, remembering that someone used to say it to her whenever she did anything, that she was sick and twisted to her core.
According to Klaus, Annette remembers nothing before she enrolled in her spy academy, the birth of her Code Name 'Forgetter'.

Frisé was described as a Giant. He was over 182 cm (6'0 feet) tall and covered in muscle. Nearly as broad as he was tall. It was like looking at a wall. Each of his arms were as thick as one of Sybilla's thighs. In the light novel, he wore a leather jacket.

Frisé took offense when Klaus called out his actions of recruiting vulnerable orphan children to commit theft for him as he did not think he was committing an act of evil. He saw in as taking in kids with nowhere else to go and teaching them trade, clothing them and keeping them fed. While he admits that the world is full of scumbags, he does not see himself among them. Whenever he would physically abuse one of them, he would say that he only got mad because of how much he loved them.
On the subject of physical abuse, Frisé is quick to anger and violence, threatening Sybilla and Klaus after a couple of minutes having met them, claiming he had "broken in plenty of mouthy shits like you with these two fists. [1]
When Klaus obtained a confidential document detailing Frisé (and by extension, other crime syndicate organizations and members, including Inspector Angerer), The papers said that despite his substantial frame, he was a small-minded nobody.

Monika has an androgynous appearance with messily tied silver-cerulean hair that covers her right eye, the style itself is hard to label. She has an average looking face and build, and good looks, though not beautiful or distinctive enough to catch attention. Her very presence is aloof.

According to Lily , Monika is the kind of person who’s difficult to read up on. [2] She’s sort of a tomboy and gives off an aloof impression. While Monika is the most ‘skilled’ of the Lamplight Students, her skills come paired with an arrogant streak.
Unlike the other members of Lamplight, Monika does not see herself as a washout and claims that she flunked out of her spy academy on purpose. [3] Monika washed out of her academy because of her anti-social behavior and difficulty working with others and that flaw was carried over to Lamplight. [3]
Monika held no value in the concept of dreams. At the end of the day, people desired money. They desired recognition. They desired to be able to contribute to society. They desired sex. People were filled with all sorts of desires, and jobs were nothing more than a means to achieve those ends. Sanctifying them by calling them "dreams" or "ambitions" was ridiculous. That was how Monika saw the world. [4] To quote herself,
"The thing about people is that we sort things into stuff that seems possible and stuff that doesn't, then take the "best of what remains, call it our 'dream', and then treat it like it's priceless. It's really nothing special." - Monika, Glint
Ever since Monika failed the Inferno selection test shortly after getting into her spy academy, Monika believed that she had hit her ceiling. That no amount of effort would be enough to become truly great. Monika doesn't think hard work alone is worth jack. [5] Training on its own was not enough. There were walls in this world that no amount of effort would be enough to get through. That there were limits to how far effort could get you and normal people could never surpass prodigies. [6] She was not unflaggingly hard-headed enough to be truly passionate to the point where she believed espionage was her calling. Instead, though, she saw herself as merely competent and nothing more. She was decent at everything, but there was no field where she could compete with true geniuses. She would end up as a slightly above-average spy who got used up and thrown away on a whim. That was the future she had to await. Because of that, Monika could never become passionate. [7] If there existed a god of espionage, then Monika simply didn't have their blessing. Even after giving up on her dreams, Monika still hadn't been able to abandon her last vestiges of hope, she prayed that maybe somebody, a well of genius would spring up inside of her. [8]
After the end of the Dart battle against Miranda in Volume 4 . Monika thought that it was time to face the facts, After Klaus' training and constant praise, the number of times she tried and failed to defeat him and their untimely graduation. Monika truly felt like she had it all wrong. The truth was that Monika was a prodigy, and it was about time for her to embrace it. [9]
Outside of her occupation as a Spy, Monika enjoys reading romance novels. [10] When Monika, Thea , Annette and Erna were staying in the entertainment district . Monika brought a stack of romance novels with her over a dozen titles high to spend her entire vacation reading. And when the kids were playing in the pool, Monika preferred to read by the poolside and became snappy when Thea invited her to swim. [11] Monika has a preference for by-the-numbers, sweet and wholesome romance novels. Though Monika says she enjoys the books out of intellectual curiosity and not from the sappy romantic aspects of the genre [12]
Monika has a crush on an unknown member of Lamplight. Which Thea notes after using her ability to see Monika's deepest desire, that her love for this certain member was part of the reason she was so adamant on getting rid of Matilda in Volume 3 . To protect the place, she and her crush called home, Lamplight. In Volume 4 , Monika states the reason she didn't abandon Sara was to avoid making a certain someone sad. Her affection was what drove her to act as rationally as she could to ensure Lamplight's survival. [13] Even with her cold exterior and sharp demeaner, Monika is terrible at hiding her emotions. Try as she might, her true feelings always end up leaking back through. She couldn't help but become envious when other people become vulnerable and genuine about their romantic feelings. [14]

Guido is tall and lanky like a bug who wears a navy blue jacket and appears to be in his thirties. He has bright blonde hair and a beard.

Guido acted as a mentor for Klaus and a spy for the Din Republic as part of the infamous Inferno. He was the second-in-command. However, he betrayed the group at some point and joined Serpent instead, causing their downfall. He also leaked information about the spies of the Din Republic to the Galgad Empire .

Veronika had long flowing crimson hair between its hue, it looked like her head was ablaze. But she was certainly beautiful. Her age isn't immediately apparent going off her appearance. [1]

As described by Klaus , she was sweet and there were times when she was strict. Veronika was fundamentally kind by nature, but stubborn as a bull in arguments. Thea even described Veronika as nicest person she met. She would ramble on about conflict and even though with her indominable kindness, she didn't hesitate to kill when needed to.
After saving Thea from kidnapping and bringing her to a safe house, Veronika revealed to the girl that she became a spy to advance war to its next stage. Having grown up during The Great War, Veronica believed that it was impossible to rid humanity of war, as it is the destiny of all living creatures to seek conflict. On the contrary, she believed that as humans, it's possible to change what war looks like by rewriting the rules. Veronika believed that war was a game, in that it had to be played in a certain way and that people have been editing those rules throughout history. Hence the concepts of territory, borders, sovereign nations, treaties. International laws etc. Veronika believed that war would change once again, and people would fight and fight and fight until they could fight no more. But if she stopped fighting--and by extension spy kind, then humanity would regress back into an era of indiscriminate death and slaughter. [2]
Veronika didn't set out to become a spy. She set out to become a hero. After all spies can only save those within their own borders. But veronica wanted to save so many more. Within her heart, her sole desire was to save as many people as possible. After all, Veronika was not naïve, she didn't think kindness and platitudes alone could change the world. What Veronika needed was courage, and courage she had. [3]

Klausis is relatively tall man he  has an androgynous, practically feminine appearance that is simultaneously handsome and beautiful with a fair complexion and shoulder-length black hair. [2]
He wears a white collar shirt, black vest, black shoes and a black tie.
In the anime , Klaus’s hair has a grayer tone

Klaus is an aloof, intuitive young man who demonstrates a lack of outward emotion. Despite his phenomenal talent as a spy, he struggles to teach his students in an effective manner as his skills are more of a second nature that he can’t deconstruct properly. [3]
While Klaus is stoic and keeps a blank face, he isn't by any means uncaring. Guido notes that he won’t abandon an ally, he’ll sacrifice everything, but won’t leave a teammate behind [4] . Klaus demonstrates a great level of care and empathy to his students, despite his unconventional teaching methods. He believes each member of Lamplight is an individual of boundless potential, and he seeks to bring out the best in each of their abilities.
Klaus, even with his high intuition, also displays a lack of social awareness. Such as Chapter Two after he defeats the girls attempting to make him surrender while he’s in the shower, he goes onto explain why a well-trained spy thinks little of being naked instead of putting on a towel. [5] .
Even though the girls of Lamplight see him as perfect, he feels that is an all illusion as he owes all of what he has to Inferno and Guido. [6]
Klaus doesn’t experience romantic attraction, nor does he have a high libido. [7] Klaus isn't tempted by pursuits of romantic or sexual desires. In fact, he is often oblivious to them entirely, seen in Volume 01 when Thea came to Klaus’s room for a ‘good time’ and he interpreted that as ‘a good time playing chess’, [8] causing Thea disappointment. Klaus seeks familial love, relationships forged among the hardest missions and the most peaceful times. Lamplight is his family, and Klaus loves Lamplight. [9]


Spy Classroom

Matilda is short and has big bright eyes and appears to be in her mid-thirties. Her hair is wispy and has pale skin that makes her appear sickly. She wears a gray blouse.

Matilda is a hard personality to make sense of as she hides her true intentions and emotions under a web of lies. On the surface, Matilda appears protective and slightly neurotic, very much concerned about her child and focused on getting her back home, but also caring about her wellbeing and her friends, not against her new identity as Annette or that she developed into a new person after they were estranged, and she developed amnesia. Throughout the novel she tries to convince Monika and Thea to give her a chance to live with her daughter.
Under the surface however, her personality is taking a completely different turn. Matilda, when not putting up a front, speaks with a drawl. Matilda is unhinged, unpredictable and downright sadistic. This behavior causes her to act carelessly, the entire hunt down started because she killed people 'because she wanted to.' [1] She speaks of mass murder and commits murder without care. When describing the horrific acts of abuse, she committed against Annette, she described it all with a while radiating ecstasy. [2]


Spy Classroom

Sara has short brown hair (referred to as 'permed' in the Light Novel ) [2] , and slightly tan skin. In her spy uniform, she wears black overalls and a newsboy cap worn low over her eyes, a dark gray shirt with slightly puffed sleeves, and ruffled collar, and a black and white bow.

Sara is a timid girl and self-professed coward [3] who gives off the impression of a prey animal. She’s described as ‘the kind of girl you instinctively wanted to protect’. [3] Sara loves her pets and sees not as a means to an end, but like friends who assist each other mutually.
Sara is humble to a fault, her humility boarding on an inferiority complex. Not even taking credit for things that were actually helpful. Since Sara spent the least amount of time in her academy out of her seniors, she considers them all her seniors, even Erna and Annette who are younger than her. That is the reason she calls them all 'Miss. At the beginning of Lamplight's creation. Sara could never find the courage to speak up during meetings because she felt as if she is weighing them down. [4] So because of how 'worthless' she was, she decided to lighten the others' loads and repair the at-the-time falling apart Heat Haze Palace without even taking credit. [5]
While Sara doesn't have flawless leadership abilities, unrivaled strength, or even an unbreakable spirit, there are plenty of things that she, and only her in Lamplight can do. Her kindness is an unmistakable asset in a team as full of oddballs as Lamplight. She sticks to her friend's side like glue, not abandoning even when the situation turns most dire. And while Sara displays traits of being timid, when it comes to Lamplight, she is anything but a coward. Risking her safety and the lives of her animals by sneaking into an illegal, gated casino and helping Monika in a dart match against Matilda in Volume 4, Monika herself even commenting that sneaking down into the Underground Casino to help her must have taken a lot of guts. [6]
