Being found by China
Sarah or South Africa is the female representative of the country South Africa. She was found in her home country as a chibi, but she was the only person there, other than a few animals, until one day the Country China had found her. He was looking for his sister, he had received a letter from an unknown writer telling him his sister was the country South Africa and gave him directions to where she was. China, excited to discover he had a sister went off to look for her. He arrived and found her, she was upset and lonely being the only one there. China greeted himself, saying he was China, where the sun rises. Sarah simply said she was South Africa, where the sun never rose nor set, but merely stayed in the sky forever. China smiled at this and said he came a long way looking for her. Sarah was confused as to why he wanted to see her, since she was a small country. China explained about why he came there and how they were sibling, due to the same bloodline. Sarah was confused but she smiled knowing she wasn't alone anymore.

China offered to raise her and take her back to his home. Sarah was nervous at first but she decided to accept. She quickly got her weapon, a large spear she named Kamibeuredo that she struggled to barely even lift the weapon. China tried to help her seeing that she was struggling. He picked her up and her spear and helped her onto his ship. Sarah was shocked but she was happy to have an older brother to take care of her.

Years later Sarah had been taught by China mainly some kung fu to defend herself and tips on becoming a good country. Sarah had mastered her spear but she still uses it and she discovers it was a magical spea that will transform into anything she wants. Sarah said she won't use its magic but she will use it in great danger, she only uses her spear for fighting and the newest thing she did discover, it can fly her as well. Her self defence was astounding and China had also taught her how to cook and draw and read, bus Sarah already knew how to read and draw and she has countless art works of the Savannah grasslands and animals. She also has a Leafwhistle with her but she only plays it when she's either, bored or tired but can;t fall asleep.

Meeting Tayuya

Personality
At first she is a shy girl and will hide behind her brother at first and will barely speak. Once she got use to meeting the other countries she became more and more friendly.She got to meet all of the countries but she still remains mostly silent. She is also very intelligent as she likes to find out more about different countries's cultures and different foods. She is quite quick tempered, like her brother, when America asked her to do something, Sarah got angry and refused thinking he's want her to boss her around because she was a small country. She is also very stubborn and self assured, claiming she's better than the other countries, when she actually knows they have greater power than her. She is mainly sweet and kind but is still quick tempered showing she is soft on the outside but hard on the inside, but Sarah is also afraid of a few things showing she may be soft on the inside too.She is a tomboy and refuses to wear a dress or skirt or anything she finds 'girlish'. She did have to wear a maid's dress at the April fools episode and she was too shy to even speak properly and she kept stuttering.

She is also good with animals and loves spending time with them, being that she lived with animals for nearly half of her life.She likes to take care of China's pet panda, Panda, and will take care of him if China ever leaves the house for a while.

America

Sarah does get annoyed as he asks Sarah to do lots of errands for her, making her lose her temper after having enough and thrashing about, like what China did when America asked China to do something for him. Other than that America and Sarah agree with one another and also they both get scared very easily over the same things.

England
She is slightly annoyed by England, and she hates his cooking and even offered to teach him, but he refuses and offers his food instead. When Sarah first tried his food she was horrified and she yelled in a rather rude and angry tone "That was the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten in my life!! I'd rather starve then eat that stuff!!!" England felt hurt and keeps trying to impress her and he hopefully will impress her. Other than that they seem to get along most of the time and may agree on the same points and terms.

Russia asked her the question, making Sarah confused as to what he meant by that. When she saw him stalking her brother, she confronted him and asked why he was doing that. Russia stated that he wanted China to 'Become one with Mother Russia'. Sarah got confused until she realized what he meant and yelled at him stating he's scaring her older brother and should stop it now. Russia smiled and said he would never stop and he offered Sarah to become "One with Russia." while also holding out a small ring. Sarah blushed and calmly stated she didn't want to. Russia smiled sweetly before taking out his metal pipe and threatening her to join him or she'll die. Sarah got really scared and ran away. Since then she's been terrified of him.

She never had and when she did try it she enjoyed it making Italy state they were friends now.

Germany

Romano
Sarah is annoyed by Romano, when Italy first introduced him to her she tried to be friendly, but Romano stated her as a dumb blonde and a hopeless country.

Sarah hearing this, understood immediately and keeps trying to be nice to him although he is never nice back to her. Romano actually likes her, but not in the lover way, he wants to be friends but his attitude takes over and he hides it by anger and a hate towards her.

Seychelles
Sarah had met Seychelles when she was flying in her spear back to China. she was visiting her country to check on things and she had landed upon the country.

The two being African countries get on well and love to spend time with each other. Sarah often visits Seychelles and comes back with souvenirs, like shells and bottles of seawater and sand.

Cuba
Sarah rivals Cuba in a brotherly way. When she first met him, she was happy, seeing another country, but instead he wasn't kind to her, he didn't think she looked like an African country due to her pale skin and fair looks and called her a worthless country. Sarah was hurt and she cried sadly, only to be comforted by China and Seychelles. Soon she began to rival Cuba and they both competed to be better countries. When they both got tired of trying to beat each other, she called for a truce and wished to be friends with him. Cuba was shocked until he realized she was a kind and sweet girl and apologized for being rude. Sarah and Cuba are good friends and they still rival each other.

Belarus asked if they loved each other, which the two, thinking she meant a sibling love, again agreed. Belarus stated they should get married if they love each other. Sarah went crimson and China also became extremely shocked. Belarus even offered to get them Marriage forms, until they stated they can't get married, they both didn't feel that way and they didn't border each other. Belarus understood but asked is she could be invited making the siblings sweatdrop and they didn't know how to reply.

Sarah, feeling sorry for him, went up to him and introduced herself. The two became friends and Sarah would often tell him about what it takes to be a good country. Sarah tries to get others to notice him, but ends up failing but promises to Sealand she'll make him popular.

Nyotalia
Sarah, in Nyotalia would be known as Seymour as her counterpart. Seymour would be like his counterpart only more braver and when he was a chibi, he could lift his spear. Seymour has a crush on Sakura Honda, Japan's female counterpart and he has an older sister Chun-Yan Wang, China's female counterpart. He would have a similar backstory to Sarah only he would take Chun-Yan's offer first thing and would jump into her arms, unlike Sarah who was more shy to agree. Seymour is rather shy but is more outgoing and excited.

He would have long blonde hair that would be in lose and flowing. He would have his hair covered over his right eye instead of his left eye showing the difference between the two. Hos clothes would be the same as Sarah's and he has a good muscle build and is good in strength and hand to hand combat

2p Version
Sarah's 2p Version would be more insane and psychotic. Her name would be Sarafina (Name is in fact taken from a South African movie called Sarafina). Sarahfina would be in love with torture and suffering in others. She sometimes had blood dripping from her mouth, which she always says she's been 'Busy' with other things. She would find blood 'delicious' and she carries a knife with her instead of a sear and she licks her blood clean on her knife. She enjoys pain and hates things like hugs and cuddles, clearly the opposite of Sarah

Seymour's would be Sebastian and he would be exactly like Sarafina only make and more persuasive and seductive.

Kamibeuredo
Sarah's past with this weapon is a interesting and life saving story to her. When she was a chibi she was being chased by a rouge lion for stealing food from it, although she never knew it belonged to him. The Lion had chased her into a cliff and she was cornered. Thinking it was the end, she prayed for something to come and save her. As the Lion went for her, she was saved by the spear. She didn't know ho threw it but she knew the spear had saved her life and she devotes her life to it.

Kamibeuredo is silver in color and is as tall as Sarah with a long and piercing blade with the words Divine carved onto it. It had a brown strap that Sarah uses to strap around her body and carry it. Despite it being thin, Sarah can easily balance on it when flying.
