Okay, here's Sara. I want to get the first draft of all of these done today, so in theory Ryan (temporary name) should be up later too.

Sara never knew sight; she never knew sound. All of her life was the same black curtain over her senses, depriving her of any hope she may have. She knew of Helen Keller, and how she managed to become successful despite her condition, but she lacked her strength. Her life was desolate, meaningless, bleak.

There was a time when there was hope, when she thought she might be saved. A surgery that most doctors cried would never work. But their cries fell upon deaf ears – she would try anything if it meant experiencing the world.

Her hope was for naught. The doctors were right – it didn’t work. And that was how, on the day of the Terminus Event, she found herself standing on the edge of her apartment building.

Sara never knew sight; she never knew sound. But as she let herself drop from the edge of the building, her eyes and ears opened themselves to the world for the first time. She saw the sky burn, and she heard the screams of everyone around her as the world ended.

When she awoke, the world had changed beyond recognition. But what she saw was not a land of Nightmares, but a land of opportunities. This was a world where she could explore and do as she pleased. This was her world.

Horseman: The White Horse

With her desire to explore the world, Sara often takes the lead as she and the other Chevaliers move from one place to the next. As such, she is often the first to stumble upon things, the first to get into trouble, and the first to charge against the enemy.

Traits:
Ferocity – 1. Sara is a calm and gentle person, who isn’t quick to anger by any means.

Creativity – 4. Sara pushes her fellow Chevaliers to new frontiers, challenging herself and them to constantly find new ways to do things. 

Tenacity – 3. Sara wants to live forever, exploring the world and seeing all of its wonders, now that she has her sight and hearing.

Divinity – 2. Sara has a touch of destiny about her, as do all the Chevaliers, but she does not stand out in any way.

Skills:
Insight. Perhaps because she went her whole life without sight or sound, Sara was quick to learn the subtle cues in the face and voice of those who are lying.

Dance. One of Sara’s hobbies from before the Event, she loved it because it was one of the few things that needed neither sight nor sound – she just needed to feel the rhythm of her heartbeat.

Pathfinding. As an eager explorer, Sara has taught herself how to find paths that may lead to somewhere interesting or safe.

Hiding. Sara knows not only what the best place to hide is, but how to remain completely silent once she’s in the hiding place.
 
Self and Destiny:
Self – 6

Destiny – 6

Available Seals:
Seal of the Crown

Seal of Destiny

Seal of Light

Seal of Persistence

I really struggled with finding the skills for Sara, but other than that I didn't spend too much time on putting her together. One thing I haven't quite decided on is the last paragraph of the story. I feel like the paragraph before it really felt like an end, but it lacked… an ending, I guess? It's very hard for me to express what I'm trying to say, but hopefully you get the idea.
