Vulnerable
She is extremely vulnerable, but it's a fact Michael often tends to forget.
She is resilient, resourceful and tough. She can kick ass, her survival instinct is astonishing and she can live through nearly anything. Physically, she can endure hell and be born out of the ashes in an even more graceful form.
It's however, her emotional part that makes her extremely vulnerable, breakable, hurting. Some may call it weak, but it would be too simple and utterly inadequate to describe. Being this open and wearing her heart on her sleeve for everybody to see is an integral part of Sara, and it's exactly this part that's making her so unique, sets her apart from everybody else, the part that made him fall in love with her.
And this aspect of her is definitely not weak, Michael knows, on the contrary. Because let's face it, who of us would willingly bare their soul to another human being like that, offer comfort and compassion so openly, generously, and still be able to walk away and try again after being disappointed for so many times in a row?
Michael doubts there are too many people walking the face of earth to be able to do what Sara Tancredi - now Scofield - does. She falls in love with you and then makes it her life quest to prove she is willing to do absolutely everything in order to make you happy.
And Michael cannot help but smile to himself, because he knows, knows first hand, that she indeed does. Oh God, she does.
