Series: FFVII
Version: Before Crisis
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexuality: She's really more of the "sleeps with my sword" sort of gal... she gets along with her katana wielding co-worker, but you didn't hear that from her.
Appearance:

Sabra is not exactly tall and fierce looking. Around 5'2" or 5'3" she is definitely on the shorter side of the height scale for the Turks. Sabra isn't a 'beautiful' girl, she doesn't have the curves for it, or the chest (though, any and all comments about her chest should be directed to her face so she can appropriate deal with the offensive comments with her fists). She has narrow shoulders and hips, and doesn't help her body type by often planting herself firmly and unflatteringly when speaking to people. Despite all of this she does maintain feminine appearances (occasionally).

Sabra has reddish brown hair, not quite a redhead but not a brunette. Her hair is a little longer than her shoulders and has sharp waves towards the bottoms. Her eyes are brown as well, but more of a milk chocolate sort of color than red-brown.

There are two faces Sabra has, well, she has more, but typicall her expression is set in 'work mode' and 'why do these people insist on doing stupid things' mode. Work mode is a pretty serious face, she can keep most of her emotions off of her face. The other face is the one she typically saves for her coworkers; a look that's the hybrid of perpetual surprise, annoyance and motherly affection.

As for clothes, Sabra is really only seen wearing her Turk uniform. Even off duty she prefers to wear her uniform, a dark blue suit with a zipper instead of buttons. When she knows she's going to fight she will often wear black gloves as well.

Personality:
Despite the 'why do these people insist on doing stupid things' look, Sabra is a fairly warm-hearted person. By no means is she heartless, though she can come off that way in business-mode. Sabra cares a lot for her coworkers and if she's short or bossy with them it's because she thinks they need looking after/protection/a punch to the face to wake them up. While she cares and can be 'motherly', Sabra isn't the plump matronly figure, she's more of the tough-love mother figure. When she gets old she's definitely going to be the grandma that beats you for your own good.

To an outsider she seems bossy and a little cold. To people she's accepted as companions she loosens up considerably. It is rare that she laughs if there is not another Turk present, and she is very conscious of social roles and what is deemed appropriate in what situations.

Most of her life is divided up into categories, work, play, coworkers, other ShinRa, allies and enemies. First and foremost is her loyalty and compassion to the Turks, the rest of the world can screw itself. She is fiercely protective of those she views as her companions and would go to great lengths to keep them safe. Not a normally abrasive person Sabra isn't going to cushion her words for people either. Despite appearances of being either frail or girly she will curse if the situation calls for it. She's a productive and competant member of the Turks and doesn't wish to disrupt that image.

Abilities/Weaponry:
The most obvious weapon is the giant shuriken she carries as her primary weapon. The shuriken, while typically a long range weapon, she uses for close range combat. Typically sabra carries several other smaller shuriken or projectiles and knows basic hand-to-hand, though her speciality lies elsewhere. She is the youngest Turk to be recruited on record and has been trained from a fairly young age. It is assumed that she is competant to carry out espionage, assasination and recruitment. Sabra can be tough as nails.

Weaknesses:
Her size and weight put her at an disadvantage for many kinds of combat and she can easily be overpowered by a larger opponent. While Sabra is tough as nails, she also is unwilling to sacrifice her companions for 'the greater good'. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell if she's just being bossy or if she's in caring-mode again.

History:
Sabra doesn't know where she was born, and the first years of her life are a mystery. Her first memory is at an orphanage where she shared a room with over a dozen other rowdy children. Sabra quickly made herself a niche as a bit of an older sister/mother figure to some of the other kids, often beating down anyone who chose to mess with her group. Level-headed and competant, there was something in her as a child that caught the attention of the Turks. They "expressed an interest" in recruiting her.

While she wasn't formally recruited until years later, Sabra was well-prepared to become a Turk. She was "harshly trained" until they recruited her, and she was the youngest Turk on record to ever be recruited.

In place of the family she didn't have, Sabra constructed hers out of the Turks. While never crossing the work boundary she considers them to be her family. And, like with the children at the orphanage she had chosen to watch over, if someone messes with hers they should watch their back because she takes her revenge very seriously.
