I'm guessing she's going to be Astro?

Too soon to say for sure.

Eh, I dunno, she's got three very nice Storekeeper skills... cleaning to prevent dirty decks which can lead to rats, fire prevention to keep trade goods from burning, and cargo organization to keep trade goods from toppling over and being lost in strong storms... and +1 frugality for long voyaging! I think she'd be a good helper aide, if long distance trading is your thing. Too bad she doesn't have catbreeding too, haha!

This aide is available in St. Petersburg. Very interesting because all previous aides with Japanese were NC/Astro. This one is not. But other than that, she doesn't seem like that good of an aide...

Very interesting. Thanks for the confirmation. Her usefulness is probably based on your playstyle, though as the only other Japanese-speaking aides come from Astro Shop items which are either A) unavailable at this time and/or B) non-tradeable, adventurers like myself would have a pretty good incentive to hire this aide. And while I haven't been to Port Royal yet, I'd be willing to bet that the new Gran Atlas battle aides found there are also non-astro, based on this.

This is the only non-Astro aide that gets Japanese. Also, since Far North Languages appears to have no Translation Notes or Dictionary(like Japanese), she seems to be the only non-Astro aide that gets 2 languages without them. Since that can free up 2 skill slots or replace 2 aides, that makes her a very good aide for Adventurers. As well, as most Adventurers will tell you, Recognition and Geography are 2 of the slowest Adventure skills to rank up. Top that off with Fire Prevention(VERY useful on Spice or Nanban runs) and the rest of her skill set, Sarah is quite a useful aide for an Adventurer/Trader. I have her now as a replacement to Chester since I finally got Victor to get the Shipbuilding skill, and I'm glad I found out about her.

From the way I see it, shes a jack of all trades aide; she dabs a little bit in trade, adventure, and maritime, but shes by no means a master in any of them. How useful she'll appear to be depends your on playing style. If your the type that likes to specialize in just one of two areas of the game, I think their are better aides you could get. Otherwise, for the player that like to dabble in a little bit of everything as well, she compliments the player pretty well.

Best Store Keeper, everything but cat breeding. And the aides with cat breeding are seriously lacking other good store keeper skills. Great languages and two good adventure skills to boot. Only wish I had found her sooner.

FYI, I tried using a Captain's Secret Notes item to teach Cat Breeding to this aide (levels: 59/63/56) and the skill option didn't appear. But a friend was able to give Cat Breeding to their Sarah using Royal Navy skill inheritance. So it seems like some skills can only be taught using Royal Navy.
