Sara speaks American English. She does not get upset when others initially pronounce her name in English as "Saaara" or "S-air-hrrah," but she does correct them, politely. She wants to be called by the Spanish pronunciation.
It's Sara, with a soft 'a' followed by a slight Spanish roll in the middle, which makes it hard to tell if the middle sound is an 'r' or a 'd'.
She likes that her tricky name adds to the complexity of her ethnic makeup. When people get flustered trying to categorize her, it triggers her laconic subtext: "For Pete's sake, just know me as a human individual, period."
