Living in a treehouse makes me feel like some sort of fantasy character. I'm happy to have found a place where I can be who I want to be. I do like to visit Crater from time to time, though. Ra-Ra and Gail are the BEST!

Sara Matthews is a resident of The Retreat.

Background[]

I'm critical of everything but hold myself to the highest standard

— Writing above Sara's bed

Sara joined the villagers of the Retreat because living in the treehouses there made her feel like "some sort of a fantasy character" and she is able to be who she wants to be,[1] regardless of what other people think.[2]

Sara views the Crater raiders rather highly, and even visits them occasionally.[1] However, she views the Brotherhood of Steel poorly, mainly on account of their name; she believes they should have picked a better word than "Steel" to describe themselves, as it is "cool and all, but kinda lame, right?"[3]

  • Sara makes a reference to the Dark Brotherhood,[3] an order of assassins from The Elder Scrolls games, another Bethesda Softworks series.
  • Sara was present in the Public Test Server for Steel Dawn but did not appear in the released version of the update until a later patch re-added her into the game.
  • A cut note called list of essentials is related to Sara.
