'''Sara Crewe''' is introduced as a kind-hearted and imaginative seven-year-old girl. She was born in India and raised by her wealthy widowed father, Captain Richard Crewe of the British Army, who adores her. Sara is described as intelligent, curious, and possessing a vivid imagination. She enjoys storytelling and playing make-believe games, often creating elaborate fantasies to cope with her loneliness.
Sara's life takes a drastic turn when she is sent to Miss Minchin's Select Seminary for Young Ladies, a boarding school back home in London. Her father pays the headmistress for special treatment and luxuries, including a private room with a maid, separate sitting room, private carriage, and pony. Sara makes friends with Ermengarde, Lottie, and Becky, and is given the nickname "Princess". Sara's birthday is eventually celebrated at the school, but Miss Minchin learns of Captain Crewe's death. The wealthy captain had lost his fortune prior to his death, leaving Sara an orphan and Miss Minchin with a large unpaid bill for Sara's school fees and luxuries. Infuriated, she seizes Sara's belongings and forces her to live in a cold attic room, working as an errand girl.
Despite facing cruelty and mistreatment from Miss Minchin and some of the staff, Sara remains humble and kind-hearted, refusing to let her circumstances define her. She treats everyone with respect regardless of their social status, including those who find her annoying or mistreat her, and shows compassion and generosity, even sharing her belongings with less fortunate girls. She often retreats into her fantasies, imagining herself as a prisoner in the Bastille or a princess disguised as a servant facing adversity.
