| ==Background== | | ==Background== |
| Around [[2550]], Sára was relocated to the [[Visegrád Relay]] along with her father when he began researching a meteorite impact site in [[Visegrád]].<ref name="journal">'''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]'''</ref>
| | Sára was the one of the two survivor of the Covenant infiltration of Visegrad Relay, with the other survivor being an injured [[UNSC Army|UNSC Army Trooper]].<ref name="winter"/> She hid under the staircase while Noble Team patrolled within the facility. When she was questioned by [[Jorge-052]], three [[Sangheili Zealot]]s assaulted the Relay and captured the surviving trooper deeper into the facility. Once cleared of Covenant presence, Jorge tended to her side and asked her of the incident. She was later put under the SPARTANs' custody.<ref name="winter"/> |

| Sára was only one of two survivors of the [[Covenant]] infiltration of Visegrád Relay, with the other survivor being an [[Unidentified Army corporal|injured UNSC Army trooper]].{{Ref/Reuse|winter}} She hid under the staircase while [[Sangheili Zealot]]s stormed the building and killed her father, and was later found by [[NOBLE Team]]. Sára was unwilling to leave her hiding spot, even attacking [[Jorge-052]] as he tried to console her, but barely managed to tell him that "there's more" before the three Zealots appeared and attacked the Spartans.
| |
| | |
| Once cleared of Covenant presence, Jorge tended to her side and asked her of the incident, helping her identify with him through their Hungarian heritage. After warming up to him, Jorge and NOBLE escorted her out of the facility.{{Ref/Reuse|winter}} After the events of the relay she got to speak with [[Catherine Halsey]] about her father.{{Ref/Reuse|journal}} | |
| | |
| ==Personality and traits==
| |
| During her brief encounter with NOBLE Team, Sára did not appear to speak [[Human languages|English]], instead only speaking [[Human languages|Hungarian]] - the language shared by many of Reach's settlers.{{Ref/Reuse|winter}}

| ==Production notes==
| |
| In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', Sára was originally intended to have a much larger role in the game than her short cameo in the final release. According to [[Isaac Hannaford]], Sára was originally envisioned to fulfill a role for NOBLE Team similar to that of [[Cortana]] in the original ''Halo'' trilogy; a tough, smart and more human character to serve as a science advisor and human foil for the more stoic Spartans. Sára would have additionally had a distrust for [[Catherine Halsey|Doctor Halsey]], with the two having a somewhat antagonistic relationship. Hannaford also noted that this plotline was largely cut for time, with some effort instead made to deepen the emotional depth for Jorge and Emile instead - though he also felt that this effort was "cheap" and never quite matched what Sára could have offered to the game.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.isaachannaford.com/2012/05/halo-reach-work.html#comment-form|Site=Isaac Hannaford's blog|Page=Halo Reach work|Quote=It's been a while...but I believe she was intended to accompany Noble team and serve as the science advisor...sort of a cortana...she was supposed to be tough as nails and have a slightly antagonistic relationship with Halsey who she didn't trust...and there was more to the relationship with Jorge. Like she was a foil to bring out the humanity of the Spartans since they're supposed to be so cool and stoic...almost naive or absent of emotion. Instead we imbued Jorge and Emile with more emotional depth...which to me always felt cheap. The Spartans shouldn't show their emotion in their speech or body language but in the choices and actions they take.<br><br>that's kind of a mix of what she started out as and my own opinion about how it should have gone down...had we the time... :(|Quotee=Isaac Hannaford|D=16|M=10|Y=2024}}

| | |
| In the final game, Sára only has a small role in the penultimate cutscene of the level [[Winter Contingency]], in which she is found hiding from the [[Sangheili Zealot|Elite Zealots]] that have infiltrated the [[Visegrád Relay]].{{Ref/Reuse|winter}} In this brief interaction, she was voiced by Marcella Lentz-Pope.{{Ref/Game|HR|Halo: Reach credits|credits}}
