Sara and Kara (both voiced by Tara Strong) are twin Oracles who first appeared in "Dragon Breath" in Season One. The two are friends of Jake and are recurring characters in the series. They are great-descendants of the Oracle of Delphi of ancient Greece.

Because of their ability to see the future, Sara and Kara are considered a part of the magical realm and live there along with other magical creatures. But, aside from that, they are perfectly normal teenage girls.

Physical Appearance

Sara

In the first season, Sara looks a lot like her sister Kara. She is a natural redhead and ties her wavy hair in a ponytail. She wears a long green dress and a pair of summer sandals. She also has a purple flower in her hair.

However in Season Two, Sara goes through a dramatic change in appearance. She is now a blond with blue eyes and wears a more feminine outfit: a long and frilly blue skirt with purple flowers, a pink tank top, and a purple vest that she ties around her neck. The only detail that has remained mostly the same since Season One is the purple flower in her hair. This change in appearance makes her bubbly and happy-go-lucky attitude stand out more than ever before.

Kara

In Season One, Kara was depicted as identical to her sister, making their blood relation evident. She has straight natural red hair and wears a blue vest over an orange-brown dress and a pair of boots. She also has a collar around her neck.

Kara look changes drastically in the second season, sporting Goth look with dark, probably dyed, hair with dark lipstick and mascara. She wears a burgundy vest over a dark shirt that goes down past her waist. She also wears an almost ankle-long grey skirt and a pair of dark boots. The only detail which remains roughly the same from Season One is the collar around her neck. This change in appearance makes her negative and grim attitude stand out more than before.

Personality

Due to Sara and Kara being born as twins, their Oracle power was divided between the two of them. Sara can only see the negative things while Kara only sees the positive things. Because of this, both have very different personalities.

Sara

Because she can only see bad things, Sara has learned to overcome the negative aspects of life and to seize every good moment she can get. The smallest amount of good news makes her extremely happy. She is constantly in a good mood, and even her own misfortune does not get her down. She was nicknamed "Little Miss Sunshine" by Fu Dog.

Kara

Because Kara can only see good things, she feels like there is no nothing more she can get out of life. There are no pleasant surprises anymore and everything becomes dull to her. She is never in a good mood and always sounds serious and uninterested. She was nicknamed "Miss Doom 'n' Gloom" and "Dame Downer" by Fu Dog.

Seer Ability

Unlike popular belief, Oracles cannot control when they will have visions or what it is exactly they will see. The premonitions will always come without warning to Sara and Kara, after which they will instinctively blurt out what they saw. As Oracles, it is physically impossible for them to not to say what they have seen. They also cannot lie about their visions, which are 100 percent accurate and certain to happen. Whenever they get a glimpse of the future, their eyes will glow a golden color.

Although Sara and Kara will always tell their premonitions, they do not always do so in a very forward manner. Most often, they will simply imply a certain outcome. For example, in "Body Guard Duty", Sara warns Jake to have a mole on his hand checked, but does not say exactly why. Kara later mentions in "Eye of the Beholder" that most of the time, they will just know something bad is going to happen but cannot tell what or how.

Also, when their visions are taken out of context, they may not happen the way others expected them to. This happens in "Body Guard Duty" when Sara tells Jake that he was going to be hit by a boulder going as fast as 180 miles per hour; it turned out Jake, in his Dragon form, was flying at 179 miles per hour when this occurred, so the boulder only hit him with a relative speed of one mile per hour, which equals to a harmless tap.

Oracle twins kidnapping — Herbert kidnapping the twins

Another interesting thing to note is that some predictions may be negative in the eyes of some, but can be positive in the eyes of others. A good example of this would be in "Body Guard Duty" when Sara has a vision of a dumpster full of dead fish overwhelming the alley they were currently in. It was indeed a negative situation for the Goblins who tried to kidnap them as the stench was too much for their sensitive noses, but it was positive for Jake who managed to save the Oracles and escape.

Because of their ability, the twins are often subject to abuse from greedy individuals. In "Body Guard Duty", they were kidnapped by a Goblin crime boss named Herbert the Goblin. He wanted to use their power so he ccould an bet on the winning team of the Ogre Bowl. Even Jake has been guilty of using Sara and Kara's powers to his advantage, such as when he asked them for the answers to his mythology test. Eventually Jake felt really guilty when he realized he was doing the same as the goblins.
