Sara is in her mid-twenties. She is quite short, though curvy for her height. She's slightly baby-faced, with a fair skin, wide sparkling eyes, an open, cheerful expression, and a head of fiery orange/red curls. She's wearing a
saree of forest green, with an intricate gold patterning and trim, and is clearly not terribly comfortable in formal attire.
She snorts indelicately, but her expression remains cheerful.
"Honestly, I hardly ever fly into suns."

She uses commercial passenger carrying controls, a gentle ride but a bit mushy if you need to turn and burn quickly."

With perhaps unexpected reverence he adds “Ana is also properly known as a Baroness elect of House Foix, Général Anastasia Jones and the Saviour of Hessia. La Legion know her as La Flamme or later as La Sainte”. He smiles kindly “Perhaps she forgets her titles and honours due to her age - but others do not”.
Turning to the smaller red head Foix gives her a warm smile and cheerfully says“May I introduce Captain Sara Kelley, my most accomplished pilot and incidentally one of the very select group of women to whom I have given flowers”.
"And an honor to be both, Your Grace." She tries to start in a refined accent, not her own, but breaks into giggles an continues in her normal voice.
"Nice to meet you, Larry. Sara is fine." She offers her hand.
"Don't worry, you get used to them. This one hates attention," She bumps Ana, affectionately, with her arm.
"And that one seems to eat it for breakfast... and lunch... and probably dinner." she says, nodding at Foix.
"They kind of balance each other."
Leitz wrote:"Captain Kelley, I am unfamiliar with the import of giving flowers, save as a part of courtship. I will consider it a symbol of value and respect, and treat you accordingly. As noted, the flight controls are tuned for passenger comfort. The bridge stations are suitably manned and most of the crew has passing familiarity with at least one other station."
"Good to know on the controls. I'm sure we'll be fine when I get to know her, though I hope we're not away from the Kiara Surabi for too long."
She shakes her head, smiling, at the exchange concerning the flowers between and Foix and Ana. She looks at Larry
"Don't worry too much about the flowers, I had to look up the details myself." She gives the fluid shrug of someone brought up in low grav.
"It was fun to get them, though, if overly dramatic. In any case it's always nice to meet new friends. I can only beat everyone else at poker so many times."
My, things picked up quickly.
