Sarah Cohen, Kokoro's own little "mary sue".

Sarah Cohen, whose real name is Shimizu Hana, is considered the "mary sue" of Kokoro (well, by her authoress, really). This is due to Sarah's ability to be pretty "perfect" in so many ways. She's a gorgeous, tall, blond, blue-eyed model whose had plenty of guys fall in love with her. She's majorly kind to anyone she speaks to and she's one of the smartest characters just below Ryou. She's also a lot stronger than most of the men at Cafe Mew Mew, being able to carry dozens of watermelons at once, and for some reason, she can withstand high amounts of heat. However, if you need something to freak this perfect girl out, just get her near a puddle or something filled with water.

History

Before Kokoro

Sarah's history is a complicated one. She was born as Shimizu Hana to Emily Cohen and Shimizu Hiroshi, although her father disappeared not long after she was born. Still, she grew up with her mother, all the while praticing magic which she had inherited from her father. At a young age, she met Shimizu Sana, and her daughter, Arisa, whom she soon learned was her half-sister. However, upon the death of Sana, Arisa disappeared, and it would be a long time before Sarah saw her again.

At this time, Sarah's mother decided for the two to move to America where they could forget about their past life in Japan. It was here that she took up a new name, taking her mother's last name, and changing her first to Sarah (she thought it was pretty because it meant "princess"). She lived in Florida for a short while, becoming friends with Bob Pushkaboomda, though it wasn't long before she moved to New York. There, she met Shirogane Ryou and Roy Bancroft, and the three became an inseparable trio for years.

However, things weren't happy for long, and with the "death" of Ryou's parents, Ryou moved to Japan, leaving a heartbroken Sarah behind. Without much thought, she also moved away, not realizing that she had left poor Roy all by himself in America.

As for Sarah, despite having known where Ryou had gone to, she didn't return there so quickly. In fact, it would be about six years before she truly returned to her home country. Reasons for this are uncertain. Perhaps she didn't want to go to the place of her past or maybe she was afraid of what would happen when she saw Ryou again. Nonetheless, after years of traveling the world and taking up numerous identities, she finally returned to Japan, where she met up with Bob. However, she discovered that he had lost his job due to failing to divorce Shirogane Ryou and Ichigo, which left Sarah in a true shock, causing her to leave from Japan again.

But, once again, Sarah stood up some time later, and arrived at Cafe Mew Mew, where she met Ryou again, found her lost sister, Arisa, saw Bob once more, and eventually came across Roy. It was then she had finally decided she had found a place to stay in.

Kokoro Days

Kokoro Draft Future

It was never exactly confirmed, but supposedly Sarah married Roy in Kokoro Draft. Hmm.

Personality

Sarah really does that "girl next door" personality, which is exactly what she was to begin with. She's truly kind and hasn't been known to ever get angry (aside from one incident where she went into a rage and yelled at Ryou). She's not exactly shy, but she does tend to be quiet, and doesn't involve herself in any of the drama that occurs. Most of the time, Sarah's just that girl that tries to help people in any way she can, such as guiding Ryou whenever he's faced with some major issues (which is pretty much all the time, really).

Sarah's been called "perfect" on many occasions, due to the fact that she's meant to have that "mary sue" character in her. She's stronger than most girls-and guys-and can carry a dozen watermelons at once, although she tends to be clumsy and ends up dropping them all over the place anyway. She apparently can withstand large amounts of heat and can hold a pot of boiling water without the use of mittens.

Still, Sarah's downpoints are that: one, she's allergic to dust, so she's constantly cleaning the café more than she should, which really annoys people, and two, she has a fear of water, so the minute she sees a puddle of some sort, she'll immediately freak out. Also, it's best not to ever let Sarah get drunk or on sugar-high. JUST DON'T.

Relationships

Lovelife

• Shirogane Ryou: Although Sarah had met Ryou and Ryou at the same time, Ryou was the first one to catch her eye. Despite being only nine years old, she fell in love with him and they had made a promise to get married when they grew older. However, Sarah's heart was broken when he left America and not long afterwards, she decided she would go to look for him. After five years of hesitation and thinking, she finally found him again in Japan. However, she had been too late; he was now with Ichigo. Though Sarah has finally been able to accept this, Sarah's feelings for Ryou are still there, though she has decided to keep them buried inside from now on.

• Roy Bancroft: In truth, while she did have feelings for Ryou for most of her life, she always did love Roy nonetheless. However, because she felt that she had chose Ryou over him at one point, she felt guilty for hurting his feelings and felt she didn't deserve a second chance with him. Still, despite the fact that she had always known of his feelings for her, Roy eventually stood up and told her he loved her. At first, Sarah wasn't sure of what to do about this, because she didn't feel she deserved to be with him, but still, she kissed him (having a self-rule of only kissing someone she loved), showing that she did in fact return his feelings. Though they take their relationship slow, the two seem to be quite happy with each other at this point.

• Bob Pushkaboomda: Before there was Ryou or Roy, Sarah met Bob Pushkaboomda when they were just small children. Eventually, they seperated, but met again years later in Japan where they developed a relationship together, although in truth, they were more of friends than being romantically involved. After hearing from Bob about how he failed to divorce a "Shirogane Ryou and Ichigo", Sarah disappeared yet again, not explaining to Bob what her reasons were. The two reunited when she arrived at Café Mew Mew, and kept their past relationship a secret, but still became good friends with one another.
