Sara Butterfly

"Sara Butterfly"

- No, I'm not! I'm a friend! A friendly friend of friendliness! Sara Butterfly is the main protagonist of Lorecraft. She is a student attending Lorecraft Academy. Her fighting style is unarmed melee combat using Fire-based magic.

Sara first appeared at the very start of the series, as she makes her way towards Lorecraft Academy to start her attendance there.

Personality
Sara is an energetic girl, very eager to make friends. She values friendship very highly, putting her friends' well-being above her own, sometimes leading to her putting her own safety at risk, simply for the sake of others'. Sara is uncomfortable with negative topics of conversation, usually trying to change the subject or avoid the conversation altogether. She has on occasion doubted herself, but continues to try to do what she thinks is best regardless.

Sara is not always the smartest. She can be very clueless, and sometimes persists on a certain course of action due to how headstrong she can be, even if smarter alternatives present themselves. While Sara has always seen her decisions through to the end, she can realize her faults in hindsight.

She's also very honest and upfront with people, which makes Sara a trustworthy person. While she doesn't always makes the wisest decisions, it is always in good nature, and has stated there's no worse feeling for her than not helping when she could have.

Powers and Abilities
In battle, Sara uses gymnastics to fight, coupled with close-range Fire Magic. Sara does not use weapons in battle. This makes her fighting style very melee-based, though she can also use Fire Magic to attack from range. She also has a tendency to give nearly all of her attacks names.

 * Rapid Spin: Sara jumps to a surface perpendicular to the ground. She then launches herself using her legs. She then starts spinning her body as she travels in mid-air, crashing into her opponent at great speed, the attack gaining additional power due to the velocity of Sara's spinning.
