Dingo was not the only member of his family to fall
into the wrong crowd. No one has been able to
sum up the three troublesome Adams siblings better
than Sarah to Dingo at Christmas: "You, me,
and Jeremy - the Packer, the hacker, and the slacker."
At the age of thirteen, Sarah started messing around
with computers, and soon ended up hanging out
with a bunch of hackers. She turned out to be fairly
skilled at what she did, and the small group of
friends stuck to clever but generally harmless pranks
at first. When the fun and games turned serious,
Sarah decided she wanted out. She managed to trick
her former friends into getting caught breaking
into a bank's computer system, and gave up pranks
in favor of getting a college degree at the University
of Melbourne.
That all changed when Dingo and the Matrix showed up
in need of a favor; on the trail of an arms dealer,
they needed someone to decrypt some files to find
out where the operation was based. Much to Dingo's
chagrin, his sister tagged along to Manhattan as well.
When she subsequently figured out the real culprit
and saved Dingo from walking into a trap - and destroyed
a prototype e-frame from Xanatos Enterprises
while she was at it - Sarah wound up getting a job
offer from Fox.
She moved to Manhattan, rented an apartment with an
old friend, and became great friends with most
of the Manhattan Clan, getting involved with Lex.
Their relationship, however, is not all that serious,
and the two of them are notorious partners in crime
making mischief in the castle. Sarah is unbelievably
addicted to coffee, to the point that she drinks seven
cups a day - despite Lex's attempts to get her to cut
down.
Unlike her best friend Callista, Sarah has no magical
ability, no clothes sense - her standard uniform is
jeans, a T-shirt, and an old camouflage jacket - and
very little patience. She generally says what she thinks
regardless of diplomacy or tact. Sarah is definitely
her brother's sister, and can and will fight her way out
of something if she has to; she spars with Fox occasionally,
although she almost always hits the mat.
Much to Xanatos' irritation, Sarah is technically on
Fox's payroll, so she does not have to answer to him.
Fox has her working on several projects as well as
monitoring computer security in the Eyrie building - the
rationale being that it takes a hacker to catch one.
Sarah knows all the tricks, and among other things, has
thwarted an attempt by Demona to infiltrate Xanatos'
systems.
Lex convinced Sarah to attempt to go cold turkey on coffee, but knowing her, that may not last long...
