 * Outside of NIJISANJI, she has a good relationship with hololive VTuber Natsuiro Matsuri who absolutely adores her and even went as far as sending a ¥12,000 superchat (~$110 USD) in Sara's March 2020 new outfit stream, but unfortunately not all of her love has been reciprocated, but she likes to tease Matsuri in response as she finds her very cute too.
 * She is very close with hololive's Akai Haato with whom she shares many similar interests. Both girls revealed that they had watched each other's debut streams in real time. Sara also revealed that she had considered auditioning for the role of Akai Haato when she saw the recruitment ad (she never actually applied) and that she watched Haato's debut stream to see who ended up getting the role. Both are also partially British, with Haato being 1/4. She even appeared in Haato's 3D birthday live on 18th November 2021 in which they sang "Turing Love" together. They also both revealed that they cried backstage as they dreamed to do a 3D stream together and be on the same stage and that outside of her genmates, Haachama is her closest friend.
