About
Sarah is a young woman of lower aristocratic standing whose status in noble society skyrocketed in the original line of events when she met Marquis Vincent, becoming engaged to him soon afterwards and finally marrying into his family. Knowing her to be fond of children, the Aria of the new timeline thus arranged for Sarah to become her tutor, hoping to obtain the second most powerful noble in the Empire as a benefactor. The two of them end up forming quite a close friendship, with Sarah viewing Aria as a poor and helpless child who is badmouthed due to her upbringing and Aria viewing Sarah as an easy person to manipulate due to her kind-hearted nature.

In the revised timeline, Sarah meets the Marquis during her social debut just as in the original one, though Aria is now instrumental in setting up their relationship, letting Sarah embroider an extravagant handkerchief knowing her teacher will need it soon ahead of their meeting and giving romantic advice to Sarah. As she becomes engaged to the Marquis, she is deeply grateful to Aria and ends up meeting her many times, despite being quite busy herself. Aria, in turn, grows to sincerely appreciate Sarah’s kindness and goes on to, among other things, appoint her as a teacher at the academy that was founded with her help.

During the Reverse Destiny arc, Sarah finally marries the Marquis and assumes the title of Marquise Sarah Vincent, having become the most powerful aristocratic lady in the Empire after the execution of Duke Frederick’s family. She remains one of Aria’s closest allies, finally becoming the headmistress of a newly founded commoner school.
