Sara (@KIASNA) was born in Hong Kong and attended an English-speaking international school on virtual reality. She was a mediocre/average student to begin with — primary due to an inconsistent work ethic — and her performance dropped further in her university years. She dropped out of school at age 20 and moved in with her boyfriend, who is a sales representative. Young adulthood passed in a flash, with her spending much of it employed part-time as a convenience store worker. She spends much of her free time on virtual reality playing various games or hanging out.

Despite dating her boyfriend (now fiancé) for nearly a decade, their relationship is very troubled. They are poorly compatible, and Sara has many doubts about their future. Nonetheless, she continues to experience a significant amount of pressure to get married with him. Both family and friends have told Sara that she would be stupid to throw away such a dedicated partner who is willing to support her financially. However, she isn't sure if she still loves him and struggles to meet his frequent requests.

Employment at SYNA Industries offers Sara a chance to find a stable job and financial independence for herself. She hopes that this experience as a software beta-tester will give her clarity about her looming marriage, which she is subconsciously trying to avoid.
