Accessories: She carries a small knife in some hidden pocket. Also a scarf, belts, goggles etc. There's also a flat, curved piece of metal strapped to her arm beneath all those leather straps. It doesn't look much, but is good for throwing and if ever she's in a situation where her knife is taken from her, this metal could be just what she needs.
Description:
Although young, Sarah is not short of talent or spirit. Both fun loving and wary, Sarah is more than capable of taking care of herself. She enjoys fixing things: airships, cars... anything with an engine. How the numerous cogs and wheels fit together to make something functional amazes her. When she's not looking for a crew to join, she spends her time looking for jobs along this line. Though she's not too fussy if the pay's half decent.
Sarah is slim and of average height, her dirty blonde hair shows her to be nothing special. Bright blue eyes and angular features however, tell of good breeding, somewhere down the line. It certainly didn't come from anyone close, there hasn't been a noble in the Mitchall family for generations. Sarah dresses in a way remnant of her days aboard the airship, 'Aftermath', big boots, goggles and a red scarf. There is also no mistaking that distinct swagger of one who has been amongst uncouth men, or... ahem... airship pirates.
Relationships:
none yet
History:
Sarah was born the second eldest of four children. Her brother Oscar was two years older, Nancy, a year younger, and Tina, four years younger. When Sarah was 13 there was a great fire in part of Red Axe, her home was burnt to the ground and only herself, Nancy and her mother, Lizzy, survived. It was more than a harsh blow to the family. Lizzy slipped into depression and it was all Sarah could do to help look after her sister. But Sarah had always been a bit of a free spirit, and after two years of hard work and confinement, she left her family and set out to seek her fortune, intending to return with funds to support the crippled family.
One thing led to another, however, and Sarah was entranced by this new freedom. Once she joined the crew of the smuggling ship, 'Aftermath', she never found time to go back, or when she did, she couldn't face the thought. The crew of the 'Aftermath' prospered and Sarah bought lace scarves and fine clothes. But this didn't last for long, the ship was destroyed near Fossgate, Sarah escaped, along with the cat, Esmee, and is now trying to find work and join the crew of another airship.

Black leather boots, hide trousers, black cotton shirt (no back, hood), red silk and lace scarf, aviator goggles, leather belts, steel 'sash' (unfastens at the back so she can get it off, engraved with patterns). She also has a canvas-y jacket with brass buttons not shown in the reference. For now, it looks similar to this.
