Sarah Heathcliff

Sarah Heathcliff is the tritagonist in The Mandela Catalogue, who originally served as a minor character in Act 1 and the deuteragonist in Act 2.

Being the younger sister of Mark Heathcliff and the founder of the Bythorne Paranormal Club in Bythorne High, Sarah would inadvertently set in motion her own and many others' downfall by allowing Adam Murray to enter the club, who in turn would convert it into the inter-county paranormal investigation society, the Bythorne Paranormal Society.

Sarah has dark brown hair and brown eyes, she wears a sweatshirt with the word "BPS". Her child version has blonde short hair and white dress.

In 2007, Sarah was shown to be an outgoing and cheery individual. She was particularly enthusiastic about recruiting new people to her paranormal investigation club in Bythorne High. Though, by 2009 we hardly see this phase of her personality and instead see one that's professional and burnt out. This burnout could have been caused by her brother's death in 1992, at the time she was only 3. By 2009, she could have learned this, contributing to her burnout.

Despite this, Sarah cares for the ones she loves. She is very confrontational with Adam when he nonchalantly announces Jonah Marshall 's death to her, and whilst leaving a voice message for Thatcher on Mark Heathcliff 's would-be 30th birthday she can be heard crying, implying she still heavily cares for her brother despite the amount of time that has passed.

Sarah has a heavy disliking and resentment towards Mandela County authorities, specifically the MCPD and their Lieutenant for denying her brother the help he needed in 1992. It's shown how, even after 17 years after Mark's death, she still sends angry e-mails to Thatcher Davis in hopes of getting closure.

Sarah records a video of herself on the Mandela County Police Department website and messaging Thatcher Davis demanding he answer her message.

At the end she finds the Database Login and can't find out how to log in.

Interlude

Sarah makes a small appearance in Interlude, seen as she makes a note to Adam saying that she got into the MCPD files and doesn't have time to look over them and to let her know what Adam thinks.

The Mandela Catalogue Vol. 4

In a flashback sequence to 2007, Sarah is revealed to be the founder of BPS, starting it off as just a high school club. She attended Bythorne High School, implying that she and her family likely moved from Mandela after Mark’s death. She starts off joining Adam in investigations before telling him he needs to find a new investigation partner after a bad experience, Sarah becomes in charge of handling the online aspect of BPS.

She is frightened by something during an investigation with Adam and doesn’t want anything to do with the footage gathered afterwards. Adam saves it for her to watch when she feels ready.

The video returns to the 2009 setting, where we see the perspective of Adam attempting to explain to her the events of The Mandela Catalogue Vol. 2 to her in a careless and insensitive manner. She is shocked and upset with Adam after learning of what happened to Jonah and how Adam responded to it all. She briefly seems to think about asking him why he’s been acting so differently before deciding against it.

Sarah forces Adam to make a memorial video to the viewers of the BPS's channel

explaining that it's Adam's responsibility as he was responsible for Jonah's death. Adam reluctantly agrees and in a few hours he would send two videos to Sarah after she checked in on him: The first one was a five-second long video, which seemingly had its files slightly corrupted. Adam dismisses this as "the wrong file" and proceeds to send the second video.

The second video started out as an actual memorial but quickly became corrupted like the video before it, this time the corruption was even more noticeable, replacing footage with what appears to be footage from Adam and Jonah's investigation. A door is opened, revealing the same background from the first video covering something, which eventually covers the entire screen and shows Jonah's date of birth and presumed death. This is interrupted by small segments of Evelin Miller's speech from the mandelapolice.com website, and eventually a corruption showing Adam yelling to an unknown person about how his computer is seemingly acting on It's own.

Sarah would attempt to confront Adam about the video, asking if he edited all of that in himself. Adam wouldn't respond, however, instead responding to a message coming from "Unknown (Might Be Spam)". Minutes later, while Adam was being revealed secrets of his own past by the Intruder, Sarah would call him, interrupting the Intruder and prompting him to leave.

Mandela Catalyst

Sarah DMs Evelin and asks if she has talked to Adam with Evelin answering no. Evelin then asks if he's acting strange around Sarah too, with Sarah responding that he is fine.

Presto

Sarah gains access to the MCPD's security cameras and is asked by Evelin to look for Dave, who she still believes to be alive.

A few scenes later, the two are on a voice call with the latter discussing her encounter with Adam and The Preacher and her confusion behind it. Sarah cuts her off and tells her that she shouldn't beat herself up and that Adam is probably fine before suddenly being disconnected from the call by the MCPD.
