Love Hina: Sarah Mcdougal

A 9-year-old American from California and Seta's adopted daughter. She initially delights in making Keitaro's life miserable, however, like most of the girls in the story, she eventually warms up to him, even if she still calls him a dork. Sarah is left for a time in the care of the Hinata Inn residents by Seta, as he feels that travelling the world with him on expeditions would be too disruptive to her childhood. There, she develops a close friendship with Su, most likely because of their shared disdain for the general order of things. In both the manga and anime version, Sarah even comments on how "Kaolla and I are not Japanese!" during a meal, when Motoko forces them all – sans Naru, who is in a field trip to Kyoto – to have a samurai-like diet. Sara quickly becomes Su's new playmate, taking the place of Motoko, who was the only person in the house to keep up with Su's energy. Sara and Su eventually become so close they change their hairstyles to match, both of them with two pigtails. Sara eventually does return to travelling with Seta after his marriage to Haruka. Sarah has an uncle in California; in the anime, it was implied that she had stayed with, and been the victim of abuse, at the hands of her biological relatives. Her mother, now deceased, formerly worked with Seta and Haruka on an archaeological dig and competed for Seta's romantic attention. Sara possesses no unusual talents or skills, save for a certain gift for Jeet Kune Do learned from Seta, though she is adept at bashing Keitaro on the head with priceless artifacts often pulled out of nowhere. These images are taken from episodes 18-20.









































Bonus: 2 of my custom edits of Sarah with her original design, and her Love Hina Again design


Sarah may not be the most popular character from Love Hina, but she has some great scenes that I just couldn't pass up. I hope you guys like this post. Till next time!

    1. She is. A sneaky girl with a potty mouth, but still cute.

  2. About her, Dan, I didn't like her at all because she always attacking Keitaro for no reason and can get away from trouble. I just wish the anime would slow things down due to the how fast it was with the chaotic tone.

    1. I get ya. Not to mention she's a chronic liar. But she matures greatly by Love Hina Again, along with Kaolla whom I believe Sarah looks up to. And I gotta feel for her, as she had been abused by family. Nonetheless, I hope you like my tribute.

  4. Totally an adorable girl! Bonus points for having the same voice as Sharena from FEH as well! I’d love to see her take lessons on barefooting from Kaolla!

    1. Oh you know she would. But they both got more mature in Love Hina Again, and Kaolla became a little more civilized, and stopped being barefoot as much. And yes Layne, that's Julie Maddalena. She's done many roles, including a few of my favorites.

    2. Aw, really? That stinks, because I feel she needs to always be barefoot!

      Heh, yep! And Sharena’s not her only Fire Emblem character, either!

    3. Oh yes, Florina and Lilina. My favorite role from Julie would have to be Hikaru Shidou.

    1. I personally like Sarah a lot. Anyone else is welcome to cover Kaolla. Might take a while though due to her all her scenes.
