Where does Open Game Art's character sprite come from? The one used by the site itself.
This one: 
The hovertext seems to call her "Sara."
Where is she from? Who created her? Has she appeared ina nything other than this site? Etc.
Sara is the official mascot for OGA, but she is allowed to be used elsewhere since she is licensed CC-BY and GPL. The original character and artwork is by Mandi Paugh, which I believe was commissioned by bart, the site owner. There have since been many derivatives made. I'm not sure exactly how many there are total, but here are some of them.
A search for the keyword "sara" may also reveal a few others. Many submissions of sara in differing styles are the result of an art challenge a while back.
--Medicine StormOh! Neat! Thanks for the info!
...Has anyone used her in a game yet?
I saw her used as a secundary character into an old school like JRPG,"Tears of valiria"
That's very cool to know!
