Private First Class Sarah Daws is a soldier stationed on Outpost Black Out as its engineer, voiced by Ella Rhee.
Personality
Sarah is an awkward, yet somehow also confident woman who thinks of herself as very intelligent, mostly thanks to her status as an engineer as well as her wealthier upbringing. Despite this, she's not very good with vehicles. She doesn't get along with her boss Miller and has a one-sided dislike for Geff, but she has been shown to be cordial with June and Nicole, mostly the latter whom she is heavily implied to have romantic feelings for, hinted at in Fax.
Role in Plot
Events of Season 1
Due to not having the right parts to fix Miller's mongoose in Wish, Sarah is berated by her captain, Mitchell Miller. After a back and forth, also joined by her coworker and best friend Nicole Vega, Sarah goes on her break due to frustration. Later, in HQ, Sarah excitedly tells Nicole's sister and coworker June Vega that she convinced Nicole to watch the Lord of the Rings film series with her as they all three discuss it. This conversation is interrupted by Geff Rodrigo, another coworker whom she dislikes, asking if any of the three women wanted to join him take inventory. After Nicole rudely rejects Geff, Sarah agrees with her that Geff should stop pushing his interests. This causes a now-hysterical Geff to run off crying.
Sometime after that, in Fax, Sarah attempts to receive a fax from HQ while chatting with Nicole until the machine breaks. When Miller enters and demands to know where the fax is, Sarah quietly storms off as Nicole follows. Sarah then encounters Geff trying to call HQ, kicking him off and making a call herself. When Nicole finally catches up, Sarah makes the call and is answered by an automated system operator informing her that a repair robot will be dispatched to Outpost Black Out the following day. Despite Nicole insisting it's too good to be true, Sarah takes the win and mentions having a headache. When Nicole complains about having to talk to someone else, Sarah offers her to join her but quickly interrupts herself and runs off, much to Nicole's confusion.
The next day, in Machine, the robot arrives much to Geff's surprise and Miller's chagrin due to the crate it arrived in crushing his newly-fixed mongoose. Sarah then arrives to reveal she ordered for the robot, though Miller is dismissive of this and discounts the robot as a "bucket of bolts." Because of this comment, the robot malfunctions and attacks Miller as Sarah and Geff watch. After Sarah asks if they should do anything about it, Geff calls out for Nicole to save Miller. When Nicole arrives and successfully deactivates the robot, Sarah comments on how strong Nicole is in awe. Shortly after, in Replacement, Sarah reminisces about Jace Casper's transfer with Nicole and June to Geff before Miller enters to chastise them. Sarah encourages Nicole's insults toward Miller and then asks Miller what he's done for humanity lately after he mentions his participation in "the Invasion War". Miller then storms off, much to Sarah's delight.
In Dysfunction, Sarah attempts to explain her favorite book series Warrior Cats to Nicole before ultimately suggesting they start a book club. Just as Nicole agrees, Geff arrives to inform the pair that June's helmet has malfunctioned and that he needs Sarah's help to fix it. Sarah proudly accepts and the two head to June, leaving behind a disgruntled Nicole. When Sarah and Geff find June, Sarah examines June's helmet before ultimately saying she can't fix it and will have to call HQ to order her a replacement. Sarah then goes to the computer room to contact HQ as a confused Geff follows, but she shuts him down as she makes the call. After a frustrating back and forth with one of their operators, a disgruntled Sarah growls in frustration before Nicole enters to ask her what's wrong. Sarah proceeds to beg her to speak with HQ instead and offers to clean their room in exchange for it, to which Nicole agrees. The call ultimately goes nowhere, with Nicole being hung up on by Dick Bosko after having spoken to Felicity Benes and the System Operator. This leads Sarah to think of an alternative in the base, in which Geff asks if she needs help with. Sarah shuts this idea down, claiming Nicole was already helping her when a confused Nicole agrees. After Geff pleads with her to let him help, Sarah tasks Geff with watching June and making sure she doesn't fall off the planet before walking off with Nicole.
Immediately after, during Invader, Sarah and Nicole seek out the deactivated robot to take its helmet for June. After finding it, Sarah struggles as she tries taking off its helmet before Nicole offers to do it for her. After observing Nicole do so, and getting her to rotate the robot's head simply by referring to her strength, Sarah and Nicole attempts to find June before hearing Miller call a team meeting over the intercom. Arriving at the meeting, Sarah gleefully gives June the robot's helmet to June's disinterest. After Miller and June argue for a moment, Miller demands Nicole, Sarah, or Geff to call HQ to report the incident. When Nicole refuses and Geff declines, Sarah offers to do so and her call is answered by Ignacio Dominguez. When Sarah reports the alarm, Ignacio is quick to dismiss it as a system glitch and says it will be fixed before hanging up on her. As a result, Miller dismisses the meeting. Later, in Stashed, Sarah and Nicole observe Miller's large pile of bagels in his room. After the pair banter with one another, Sarah and Nicole are met with an annoyed Miller who demands to know what they're doing in his room before accusing them of eating one of his bagels. Both Sarah and Nicole dismiss the notion, with Sarah claiming Miller keeps them to talk to since no one else will talk to him as she and Nicole walk away from him.
While on guard with Nicole, in Overture, Sarah acts defensive over never having Mexican food nor ever eating from a food truck to Nicole's shock and horror. When Sarah points out she ate food personally prepared for her by the "finest" chefs under her mother's employ, Nicole asks her if she's rich to which Sarah dismisses in a way that indicates she comes from a wealthy family. When Miller calls for a meeting over the outpost's intercom, Sarah attends to find out that Geff had signed herself and the rest of the guards to join the UNSC's "SPARTAN-IV Program", much to her confusion and annoyance. When June and Nicole both storm off at the news of their impending reassignment, Sarah simply follows out of awkwardness at being left with Geff and Miller.
Relationships
Nicole
Sarah and Nicole get along really well, even if Sarah isn't as fond of Nicole's interests as she is. Regardless, they stick together as shown when Nicole follows Sarah upon the latter storming off from Miller in Wish. In HQ it's revealed that Sarah and Nicole watched the Lord of the Rings films alone together, showing their friendship. Sarah encourages much of Nicole's more rude tendencies, like when Nicole insults Miller or Geff in various episodes
Miller
Sarah dislikes Miller, primarily due to him insulting her intelligence purely because she's a woman.
Geff
Sarah is not a fan of Geff, and sees him as undermining her in Wish. She also doesn't respect his interests, as she tells him in HQ.
June
Sarah appears to be friends with June, or at least friendly, as she excitedly told her about Nicole joining her to watch the Lord of the Rings films in HQ.
