AFAIK, there is no character named "Sarah" in Errant Story.
(It's strange, I read two wecbomics with characters named Sara, and in both cases it's as if people just can't be bothered to spell the names correctly.)

Now now, cut the guy a break. Sara/Sarah has always been a hard distinction for me (and apparently a number of others) to make. In "The Maxx", the author himself flipflopped back and forth between spellings of his Sarah's name until they had their series reboot, at which time he officially had her change her own name to Sara to keep it simple.
Sara's not had the screen time nor the presence of any of our current cabal of main characters, and her name isn't unique enough (Bani) for people to have had to have had to memorize it yet. She'll come into her own in due time... then you can correct.
Initial B wrote:I don't think that Meji was naive enough to expect that her disappearance would be unnoticed for a long period of time. I bet she has probably slipped in with the surrounding populace. Their only hope right now is in Ellis is still around and they can use him as a homing beacon to track her down.
Why do I have a feeling either Sarine, Sara or Jon is going to end up gutting the Elven ambassador?
She has ten minutes on them, which is plenty since she's familiar with the city and they aren't. Ellis is probably with her, so he can get an up-close view of the explosion.
Rather curious that Bani, as she appears now, looks pretty much nothing like her mother compared to when she was a kid. Must've gotten fairly adept at illusions perhaps, given her lighter complexion, or perhaps she simply resorts to merely mundane means considering the hair. No doubt that there's some magically-created tonics to alter skin tone and hair color. I'd even forgotten how dark her complexion was when she was a teen until Poe showed us the picture of her mother. But I have to admit, I never would've pegged Toshi for being fond of the so-called 'ghetto booty'..

I find that highly unlikely, given that the late Mrs. Igaaru's hair appears to be a rather stylish afro. Now, it's a rather small picture, but were she of the fairer genetic alignment, I'd imagine it'd appear a good deal more teased and feathered. Now, I'm quite willing to admit that I could be very, very, very wrong about this and that both Bani and her late mother were just particularly well tanned both in Bani's younger years and at the time that portrait was made, but my intuition's telling me that Mrs. Igaaru was most definitely a black woman.

Good just be the different lighting in the two scenes. Until you mentioned it, all I could say about their complexions from Poe's artistic style is that one is lighter-skinned than the other. Strictly speaking, none of the characters in this novel need to match up to ethnic descriptions from our world.

Ugh . . . with a little luck, Poe might get through the entire story without reference to grotesque hip-hop racial stereotypes.
