Men are so obtuse... Must I say it plainly? I want to stay with you a bit longer! There!
Sarah Altney to Ingus
Lady Sara Altney is the princess of Sasune from Final Fantasy III, and the party's first guest character. She is met and recruited in the Sealed Cave. In the 3D remake, she has feelings toward Ingus. Though it is spelled differently, Sara continues the Final Fantasy tradition of supporting female characters named Princess Sarah.
Profile[]
Appearance[]
Sara has blue eyes and long strawberry blonde hair pinned back with a headdress and other hair ornaments. She wears a blue bustier that shows her midriff with a long purple-and-white cape and high collar. Her sleeves are detached and she wears dark fingerless gloves. She has an elaborate belt and wears blue-and-yellow trousers that are wide enough to appear as a skirt. She wears plain brown slippers.
In initial screenshots of the Nintendo DS version of Final Fantasy III, Sara's model had a different appearance from the final version.
Personality[]
Sara is brave and determined. She sets out to seal the Djinn herself when he curses the kingdom. Although she is intimidated when she reaches his cave, she is undeterred and readily joins the party when they arrive to "rescue" her. She decides to stay in Castle Sasune when they set out on their quest, not wanting to get in their way, but she doesn't hesitate to help them again when they are caught in a trap at Syrcus Tower. She is cheerful and friendly while traveling with the others and doesn't mind Luneth's lack of formality.
She has feelings for Ingus, which she makes clear even though he is less effusive with his own.
Story[]
Sara attempts to seal the Djinn (PC).
Sara joins the party after they travel into the Sealed Cave to find her, assuming that the Djinn had kidnapped the princess for her Mythril Ring. However, Sara left of her own volition to break his curse. Her first attempt to seal the Djinn with the Mythril Ring fails, so the party must weaken him in battle before it works. After the Djinn is killed, she throws her ring into the spring in the castle basement, dispelling the curse and remaining in Castle Sasune while the party continues with their adventure.
The 3D remake adds a Mognet sidequest. Sara writes to Ingus throughout the game, and her final letter is a request to fix her broken pendant, which leads the party to meet the Legendary Smith.
Whenever the party meets Sara, she shows interest in Ingus. While he has sworn to protect her, he returns the interest. When Doga asks Sara to help break the Curse of the five wyrms, she joins him once she finds out Ingus is in trouble. After breaking the curse, she stays behind with the others while the party enters the World of Darkness.
When the Cloud of Darkness is defeated, Sara decides to stay with Ingus for a while, before returning to the castle.
Gameplay[]
Princess Sara casting Aero (PC).
In the 3D versions, she aids the party by casting Cure on its members and Aero against monsters. As Cure and Aero are both White Magic spells, it is likely Lady Sara is supposed to be a White Mage character, like Aria Benett.

- Story
3★ - No. 0597:A young lady hailing from another world where tales are passed down of the Crystals and the Warriors of Light. Sara is the Princess of Sasune, and holds deep feelings for one of the Warriors of Light, Ingus. She is last seen when her father's castle and the people within are cursed by the Djinn, many believing her to have been kidnapped. However, she had actually left the castle of her own volition in order to seal the Djinn with the Mythril Ring and save her people. Sara meant to face this terrible monster by herself.
4★ - No. 0598:A young lady hailing from another world where tales are passed down of the Crystals and the Warriors of Light. Although Sara is the Princess of Sasune, she displays the qualities of a tomboy from time to time. Taking the Mythril Ring with her, she leaves the castle alone after it is cursed by the Djinn to chase this monster back to the Sealed Cave where it dwells, defeat it, and save her people. Having received the aid of the Warriors of Light, she decides to remain in the cave and fight by their side, rather than placing the task she set for herself upon them and returning home.
5★ - No. 0599:A young lady hailing from another world where tales are passed down of the Crystals and the Warriors of Light. Sara is the dangerously spontaneous Princess of Sasune who takes the Mythril Ring with her to save the people of Castle Sasune from the curse of the Djinn all by herself. She has feelings for Ingus, a soldier who serves her father and has sworn to protect her. Thus, when he is chosen as one of the Warriors of Light, she bravely fights back her tears in order to give him a proper send off.
