Sarah Manning

Sarah Manning is an orphan from Britain who is known for being street-smart, intelligent and a fan of punk rock. She is also a clone, but grew up not knowing this. Her foster mother, Siobhan, is estranged from her in Season 1 but they eventually reconnect over Kira, Sarah's young daughter. Sarah has a close network of friends and family including Siobhan, Kira, Benjamin Kertland, Felix Dawkins, Cosima Neihaus and Kendall Malone. Siobhan and Kendall know a lot more about the cloning project than Sarah initially realizes. Sarah was born in 1984 and her real mother's name is Amelia. Her psychotic "sister", Helena, has tried to kill her on multiple occasions. Both Sarah and Kira are constantly pursued by the Dyad Institute for genetic testing, but Sarah is unwilling to let her daughter grow up being a guinea pig, and often lives in derelict, secluded buildings and safe houses with her in order to protect her. Sarah can be reckless and short-tempered at times but is often level-headed and quick to come up with new solutions. She had a boyfriend (Kira's dad) and they eventually reunite and drive through rural Canada in a camper. Her main goal was always to find a better life for Felix (her foster brother) and Kira, but her priorities shift when she discovers that she is not the only surviving clone in the world. Sarah has dark brown hair, often dresses in black and rarely wears skirts or dresses, instead opting for black skinny jeans most of the time. She is played by actress Tatiana Maslany.
