Sara is the main character in the game Tower Fortress.

History
Although Sara's backstory isn't detailed in-game, some of it is told through the game's summary on the KeybolGames website. Sara lives in a village in which an ominous tower appeared one day, releasing green fumes that spread a grave illness on the whole town, killing some of the villagers. Since her parents live close to the tower they were among the most affected, which prompts Sara to stop the smoke emitter. As the village alchemist and weapons forger, she proceeds to ascend the tower and stop the source of the illness.

In game
Sara appears as the main and only playable character in the game. As Sara, the player can move left, right and jump using the arrow keys as well as shoot using the fire button. The player can tap the jump button in mid-air to perform a spin jump, which acts as a double jump that can damage enemies. Indeed, during a spin jump Sara will damage and bounce on most enemies she comes in contact with instead of getting hit by them. The player can also latch and slide down onto walls, and perform wall jumps. Since wall jumping resets the player's second jump, it is possible for Sara to reach great heights without using a platform by continuously wall jumping, spin jumping and bouncing on enemies.

Sara is also able to shoot using the fire key (which can vary depending on the platform the game is being played on). By default, she will shoot short-ranged projectiles in a straight line that allow her to damage enemies and open chests. Picking up weapons lets Sara to shoot in various different ways, although each individual weapon has limited ammo and will be reverted back to the default projectiles if they run out.

Sara has 4 health points by default, though these can be changed depending on which suit the player is using and what upgrades the player has picked up. When hit, the player will be recoiled back. Sara can recover her health by picking up health packs, which are dropped by bosses and some enemies.

Suits
The player can unlock and play with different suits as the game progresses. Suits have positive and negative effects depending on the situation.

Trivia

 * The "720" suit could be a reference to how, in two spin jumps, Sara rotates 720° (a full circle per spin).
 * The "Mrs. T" suit is a reference to American actor Lawrence "Mr. T" Tureaud.
