Sarah Mycroft Holmes

Biography
Little is known about this mysterious woman.

On one hand, she does come from a modern era in history, since she has knowledge of both electronic devices (such as computers and smartphones) and modern cars.

Sarah has also previously invented many strange gadgets, and has said to others that she came from a scientist family. But she can't remember what her parents were like or where she came from.

Her goal is also suspicious. Sarah has often told others that she came to the Warehouse in order to find objects that she lost. But when confronted with the question of where would she put them, and what they actually were, she would only reply with a shrug.

As proven by her manner around both artifacts and fellow Agents, she has worked for some type of Warehouse type organization. This means that she knows the proper way to care for any artifact, whether from the Warehouse or not. She has also gone on missions with other Agents, but she can only remember that they were looking for bad artifacts. Once they were found, the artifacts were used for world domination.

Joining the Warehouse
Sarah came to the Warehouse after mysteriously appearing in a large field far away from the Warehouse. (See Relationships for more information.) She first appeared woozy and weak from dehydration, but soon recovered after a trip to the Warehouse.

According to Mrs. Fredric, she had her memory wiped by a unstable but unknown artifact. The fact that she couldn't remember her name but knew where to look to find what town contains the Warehouse turned her into a bit of an enigma.

After a quick checkup, she was eventually moved to Leena's Bed and Breakfast in order to recover. While napping, Sarah managed to recover some memories, but only in fragments.

The intital enigmatic feeling changed, however, when in the B&B, she started feeling strange around a certain artifact-a book called the Hound of the Baskervilles. It was recently snagged by Agents Pete Lattimer and Claudia Donavan. Then, just when Pete was about to show fellow Agent Myka the inside of the book, he tripped on a table leg and accidentally summoned the Hound. Luckily, Sarah managed to push him out of the way before he could become its next victim. Myka later neutralized the book before it could cause any damage.

Both Pete and Claudia vouched for her, saying that the Hound had the potential to be incredibly dangerous. But because of her inability to recall how (and why) she knew the Agents, Sarah was moved back to the Warehouse. Once there, she was questioned by both Mrs. Fredric and Head Regent Kosan. This questioning happens within a week-long period of time.

After that week, she officially became an Agent. Her stuff stayed in her room for safekeeping, since she would be using it a lot often.

Back at the B&B, she met Arthur Nielsen, who she remembered faintly from earlier on. At first, he was surprised to see her, but wasn't sure that she could take on missions after such a short time back. He did, however convince Agent Megan Wilcoxson to give Sarah a tour of America's Attic. This lead to a better relationship between the two Agents, as well as between Sarah and her new boss.

Warehouse 13
Sarah enjoys being in the Warehouse, but doesn't mind a little time in a new location. Every mission is a new adventure for her, and a new chance to become a better person. Whether she's snagging artifacts or doing inventory duty, she will make sure to get the job done.

Personality
Her vibrant personality has brightened up many people's lives and her hardworking manner has made her a top contender in the Warehouse. She is caring, helpful and an all around sweetheart: always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it.

She prefers to be called 'Sari' by her peers, and 'Miss Holmes' by strangers.

Sarah's vast intelligence has also made her a great assistant to all those both above her in status and on the same level. She can fix most computers as well as artificial intelligence. When confronted with something that she has never seen before, she has been known to fiddle with it in order to see how it works under pressure.

But her previous experience with an extremely evil Warehouse-type organization has left her scarred both mentally and spiritually. Sarah has been found unable to keep most friends outside of the Warehouse, and is often plagued with horrific nightmares and the occasional rapid mood change. Her aura has been described as pitch black, a sign of darkness and immense emotional pain. But once you gain her trust, she will make sure that nothing can hurt you again.

Another thing to consider is her utter willingness to follow orders, no matter the consequences. She is extremely loyal to Artie, and is willing to do whatever he asks without complaint. Unlike Claudia, she prefers not to poke fun at the Senior Agent, especially when it comes to his love of old technology.

Unfortunately, she tends to take things a too literally at times. For example, when Artie called the Warehouse "America's Attic", she mistook it for an actual attic. This can often make her seem dumber than she really is, and has lead to some people underestimating her abilities. Nonetheless, she is as sharp as ever when it comes to science and technology.

Sarah is a pacifist by choice, and would rather out-science her enemies then out-right kill them with any sort of weapon. This is because she was often forced to kill other agents during her time before the Warehouse. But she is not afraid to let someone or something else kill for her, especially when it's the Hound of the Baskervilles.

Despite this, she does charge her Tesla, but has a habit of never using it. Instead, she relies upon her intelligence and quick reflexes to get out of a situation quickly.

Quotes:
"He's a nice dog, as long as you're not British." -- Sarah to Pete about the Hound.

"This is an attic? I'd like to see the basement." -- Sarah to Artie about the Warehouse.

Relationships

Artifact History
Sarah uses an electronic wristwatch to better be able to tell when events will occur. She also keeps a backpack full of random gadgets, inventions and other items which she uses from time to time. These include many harmless Artifacts which she has used to create her various inventions.

Nevertheless, she has become so used to dealing with dangerous artifacts that she wouldn't even think about touching a single object (Artifact or otherwise) unless she has dealt with it in the past. The only exception to this rule has been Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Pipe. Not only does she use it for its abilities, but also to look more trusting. This has lead her to gain more information about any particular subject then usual. However, she tends to use the pipe as a last resort option due to its side effects.

The Hound of the Baskervilles has also become a last-resort option due to its killer instincts. Despite that, Sarah has managed to contain its violent tendencies via mental connection. In other words, she can tell the Hound who and who not to kill, and even summon it to protect her from enemies. This connection can often be described as a more complex version of the one Artie has with his dog Trailer.
