Sara-
Sara is probably one of the most complex characters (emotionally anyhow) in the maxx. As the daughter of Mr. Gone she posseses tremendous power but lacks the power to control her latent ability. She was an outcast in school (and as a result only went to one school function) she went to, as far as we know, only one dance; with a guy named jimmy. who by the end of the evening she almost shot (ish 4) because jimmy and his "new friends" made fun of her. She was suicidal at one point; but she put the gun down after maxx talked her out of blowing her brains out she thought she would have some cathartic revelation that suicide's wrong and life would be "okay" and the pain would be gone. But life doesn't work that way, and she realized this when maxx said "pain lasts kid its how you know you're alive" she kept going to julie for "therapy", partly because her mom made her, but there may have been something else there, julie seems like her best friend. no matter what she went through julie was there while "best friend" jimmy was not. But suicide attempts werenot hte epitimy of sara's problems. Sara had a self destructive part of herself, a little yellow banana slug named Iago(see Iago analasys for added info). Iago typicly carried sara's sh*t list in addition to julie's name sara's name was on that list proving her self destructive nature. Sara had another tendency, she had an innate weakness to put up with other people's crap. Case in point: the cat whose litter box she maintained even though it's not even her cat. Another point, Steve (her roomate) steve has no job and puts most of his effort into telekenetic "resarch" ( his research was basicly composed of trying to move a glass of water with his mind.) she puts up with their lack of money for steve, his load of crap he lays on her. sara's problems do not solely lie in dealing with other people's crap. sara has a general disbelif in the paranormal and was confused with the arival of Norbert and Iago in her life. With her belifs shattered sara had no choice but to belive. Sara almost always feels abandoned; and that is one reason she does'nt have a boyfriend. She's afraid to let anyone get close enough to hurt her; Its not so much her fault it's just that everyone she let get close... leftl. either emotionally or physicly, everyone left. Mr. gone left physicly when she was little (even though he "loves that wacky girl") and when he left her mother left emotionally, julie left after child protective services took mark, Maxx left and started his "true" life without julie. From all this sara learned a harsh lesson, everybody leaves sometime. So she never let anyone get to close. She never belived in exploding faries, 300 lb. slugs of self destruction, or equine elementals (spirit animals) htat talk.
