Character name: Sarah Manning
Canon and canon point: 3x04, when she's knocked out by a Castor clone.
History: Wiki here, though it only goes up to the end of season two. In the first four episodes of S3, Sarah's daughter is threatened and she sends her to Iceland in hiding; Sarah goes searching for both her twin sister and for the original genome, hoping that it will provide a cure for the clones' degenerative illness; and Sarah discovers that the Castor clones are the Leda clones' biological siblings, before she's captured by one of them.
Personality:
Sarah is all about fight or flight. Interestingly, she relies on both in equal measure.
With Sarah, her first instinct is to escape. She's always on the lookout for the next good thing. She runs from responsibility, from the fact that she's a clone, from the fact that she's a twin. She'll sometimes set a goal—a pipe dream, like getting rich and moving to Costa Rica—but more often than not it's the simple act of escape that brings relief for Sarah. The thought of committing to a person or a city or an idea brings anxiety—there's a definite fear of attachment with Sarah.
There's anger, too. Sarah grew up an angry kid wanting to punish the world, and that anger has never gone away—not really. She’s as quick to fight as she is to run, and she’s good at it, able to make weapons out of objects that other people wouldn’t necessarily think of as dangerous. She’s even been known to use sex as a weapon and a tool to manipulate others, and it’s implied that she’s been doing that since her early teens. In fact, her use of sex as a way to placate Paul was one of his first clues that something was not right with “Beth.”
The anger she feels isn’t just for other people—she turns that feeling inward, as well. Sarah tends to gravitate toward people she feels she “deserves”: drug dealers, abusers, thieves, and other people who are on the outskirts of society. While Sarah may not act as if she regrets doing things like robbing people or using them in order to get what she wants, she expresses her guilt through more self-destructive behavior, believing that she deserves what she gets. She frequently says that she doesn’t think she’s a good mother, that she regrets many of her past decisions, and that she’s not a good person in general.
Above all else, though, Sarah is incredibly loyal to the people she loves. When the series starts, that number includes only two people: her daughter and her foster brother. After she first meets her fellow clones face to face, she insists to Felix that they aren’t family and that she still plans on escaping with as much cash as she can get her hands on. However, slowly, she learns to let her fellow clones in, as well as Beth’s old partner Art and her estranged foster mother Siobhan, and finds herself forming strong connections with them. Once Sarah trusts someone, she is loyal to them to the point of being willing to sacrifice herself for them. As someone who grew up lacking those familial connections to other people, when Sarah eventually does consider someone part of her family, she loves them unconditionally.
What are they in for? Identity theft, possession/sale of illegal substances, abandonment of her daughter, grievous bodily harm, shoplifting, theft of over $10,000.
