Despite her being the more hospitable of the Kazuno sisters, Sarah maintains her sense of combativeness through asserting control over conversations she engages in. Her competitiveness is also highlighted in her sole desire to win the Love Live!. She believes that, through reaching the same ends which A-RISE and ยต's arrived at in the Love Live!, victory in the Love Live! would give her insight into the qualities that made the two idol groups.
Much like her younger sister, Sarah displays a high level of conviction for Saint Snow's cause.
