Princess Sarah

Princess Sarah, also given as Princess Sara (セーラ Sēra), is a recurring name used by several princesses in the Final Fantasy series. She is also depicted in the Final Fantasy 20th Anniversary logo.

Final Fantasy
Princess Sarah is a minor character in the original Final Fantasy. She is the daughter of the King of Cornelia and Queen Jayne, and has a younger sister. She is kidnapped by Garland, and held hostage in the Chaos Shrine, but the Warriors of Light rescue her. In return, she gives them the lute, which later enables them to expose a hidden passage in the Chaos Shrine when they travel to the past towards the end of the game.

Final Fantasy III
Princess Sara meets the party while on her way to stop Djinn of Fire. Later in the game, she would help save the light warriors from the Curse of the Five Wyrms, along with Desch, Alus Restor, one of the Old Men, and Cid Haze. In the Nintendo DS remake, she and Ingus have a small love story.

Final Fantasy IX
Sarah is Garnet's real name, before she was adopted by Queen Brahne. The player must go to Madain Sari and reveal the hidden text on the Eidolon wall to find this out. This makes her the first playable Princess Sarah in the series.

Final Fantasy XIII
Serah, having the same name in romaji and same pronunciation, is Snow's fiance and Lightning's sister. She is turned into a L'Cie before the start of the game. When the party meets up with her in the beginning of the game, she is crystallized. At the end of the game, however, she is recovered and reunites with Snow and Lightning.

Etymology
Sarah (שָׂרָה in hebrew) is a Hebrew name for "princess", or a woman of high rank.
