Sarai is a short woman- and she wears an outfit that immediately would lend one to think of a Goth.
Perhaps amusingly, she doesn't really even register the existence of the Goth subculture/culture (depending on where/when you're talking about), and her choice to wear black accented with a little white has nothing to do with that style.
The woman herself is very short- barefoot she stands about four foot ten. Her build is very plush, and while she's definitely got an hourglass shape, it's a fairly thick one for her height- including in the midriff, where she completely fails to demonstrate a wasp waist. Her skin is a dark tone that harkens back to her Pilipino ancestry, though she herself doesn't even speak Tagalog being as she's actually half-caucasian. This shows a bit more in the shape of her face as while said face is broad and heart-shaped with plush lips, chubby cheeks, and a small flat nose, her eyes lack the expected tilt, having a more even almond shape. Her hair is a deep indigo color, a tone of purple that can be mistaken for midnight blue or even black in poor lighting- including her eyebrows and eyelashes. Usually, the straight strands are swirled up into a rather large, but tight, bun on the back of her head with a sort of 'spray' of hair-ends fanning out around the base decoratively.
The massive black boots she wears that buckle across not only the ankle but also the calf and the foot with broad white bands actually add several inches to her height, bringing her up to just over five feet thanks to their heavy 'waffle-stomper' soles. They are not high-heeled, though, and are very thick, reaching up to the widest bulge of either calf. Curious tights with solid inward faces hug her legs the rest of the way up, the outward half of either leg covered in a pattern of circles that is clearly intended to be simply decorative. Her miniskirt, which reaches just past mid-thigh, flares out slightly. The end of the black leather garment is rimmed with fluffy white fur. Similarly, her corset, which embraces her midsection with leather straps without actually constricting her waist, has plenty of fluffy white fur over the edges of its cups, effectively concealing her cleavage while pulling attention to her bustline and away from her waist- the corset also being formed of black leather. A pair of ring-strapped leather armbands covers either bicep- with her arms down, the upper edge of both matches roughly with the upper edge of her corset, making the white fur seem to be a single band around both torso and arms. These armbands are laced to a set of detached sleeves, also in black, that start at her elbows with a thin band of leather and then flare outwards in silk, belling over her wrists when her arms hang slack. Finally, a pair of nez-pince glasses carefully perch on the bridge of her nose, the rectangular lenses held only from below by the thin black frame.
There is one other major element you can see though, but she isn't exactly wearing it. Floating behind her head, apparently locked in space relative to her shoulders, is a large metal.... object. The majority of the thing is some unknown black metal, but white lines trace curving shapes over it that seem like they might be runes of some sort. Normally these white lines are simply white, covering the spearhead-like shape that floats behind her- but when she is angered, excited, startled, or otherwise in a 'high' emotional state, the thing shifts slightly and spreads, the point splitting into four curve-taloned 'arms' that point upwards. As it does so, the large disc that forms the base of the spearpoint shape rotates, and the various traceries of white start to glow brightly.
Sarai is often seen reading paperback novels, listening to an electronic music player, or, less frequently but still enough to be notable, beating the piss out of gang members, hoodlums, bullies, or anyone else who she seems to take a disliking to. Nobody's ever really bothered to ask why she does this, and it's pretty apparent that her concern isn't about someone breaking the law- she probably has some sort of morality thing going on. The real question is how someone her size manages to beat up a gang of ten big guys with guns and knives. That thing that floats behind her head probably has something to do with it.
