Character Information
Known History
Basic Timeline: Amy was born April 20, 1963 in Fremantle, Western Australia. An only child, her mother worked in the toy store at Pioneer Village, her father was long gone, an American sailor on rec leave, Amy never even knew his name. Despite this, Amy had a secure and happy childhood, was popular and worked hard in school, showing a natural talent for art and completing school a year early with excellent grades.
After school, she began working with the toymaker in the Village store her mother worked at, learning the art of shaping porcelain dolls, clockwork cars and trains, all manner of childrens toys. It was work she loved, and she began to develop a name for the store, the exquisite detail of the toys sold there. At 18 she met Scott Macaulay, the farrier at the Village, and they started dating. He proposed two years later, on her 20th birthday.
It wasn't to be, however. One night as she stayed back late in the workshop behind the store, He came for her. He had heard of the beautiful dolls made in the store, and wanted to see them for himself. He was the Toymaker, and no doll could be better than the ones he made. Being late, she refused him entry. Angered, he took her and made her into the very thing she was known for, a porcelain doll.
She was gone, taken to sit upon the shelf of her Keeper's toystore, and to make his dolls. For 25 years she remained, until early January, when she escaped and returned to Perth.
Current Activities: Since the discovery of Bramble's treachery, Sarah has stepped into the role of Autumn Queen, and is seeking to ensure the safety and security of her Freehold.

Quotes
"Pretty little doll... why do you fear me? What secrets do you keep that the others don't want me to know? " Benoit Le Fleur
"Like get over it. She holds her doll like its a lifeline and there is only fear in her world. Lighten up and appreciate the fact you're free. She acts like Winter." Cindi
"Sarah can stand still in a way that puts a rock to shame. I might find it comforting to sit by her and be still as well, but that little doll she carries makes me jitter. Now all I need to do is pry open that mouth of hers" Terry Ific
"You should be Nice to Sarah {} heh, if not you'll regret it" Bill and Jack Corvus

- Sarah is inordinately good at replicating the handwriting of others - and is not above using this for her own gain.

- Sarah has dreams that sometimes foretell the future.
- Sarah orchestrated the discovery of Bramble's treachery in an uncharacteristic grab for control of the Freehold.

- Sarah knows more than she is letting on about The Swan and the fate of the former Freehold.
