She used to live in the city but her parents decided to move to this small town and build the manor in the forest so that their daughter can live in a healthy environment.

However, her parents forbade her to leave the house as they wanted to make sure that she stays in a healthy environment and wait that her body gets used to the air. Sarah never went against her parents, she knew that all they did was for her well-being. She would listen to her parents and do anything they told her to, just like a doll. Since she couldn't leave the house, she would get visits by a private tutor for her education. Since she never left the house, she didn't have any friend, except for her doll whom she will play with and talk to every day.
