List of Alex Rider Characters - Protagonists - Sabina Pleasure

Sabina Pleasure is a major protagonist who made her first appearance in the novel Skeleton Key and has gone on to appear in Eagle Strike, Snakehead, Crocodile Tears and Scorpia Rising.

She first meets Alex at Wimbledon, where Alex is working as ball boy and Sabina is working as a ball girl. Like her mother, Sabina enjoys rude jokes. She befriends Alex at this time and Sabina offers to take him on holiday to Cornwall with her parents. It is one night during this holiday that they share their first kiss. From this moment on, she serves as Alex's primary love interest. At the end of the Skeleton Key, she invites him on a holiday to the South of France, setting up the plot of the next novel.

In Eagle Strike, Sabina's father is nearly killed by a bomb, as he was writing an article about Damian Cray, the main antagonist of this novel. When Alex tries to tell her he is a spy, and attempts to show her MI6's headquarters- which have been set up to appear as a genuine bank-, she doesn't believe him, has a row and breaks up her relationship with Alex. Later, she is kidnapped by Damian Cray, who wants to use her as a ransom for the flash drive Alex has stolen from him. When he next sees her her hands are tied and she is gagged with tape. Alex intends to destroy the flash drive with super glue, but Cray threatens to cut Sabina's fingers off with scissors, forcing Alex to give him the flash drive and let him keep her. When Cray hi-jacks Air Force One, Sabina helps Alex to kill him, and also deactivates the nuclear missiles. Sabina then reveals to Alex her parents want to move to San Francisco, as her father has been offered a job there.

She appears at the end of Snakehead for a "surprise" Christmas visit, and the book ends with them entering Alex's house together.

In the book Crocodile Tears, Alex and Sabina are on holiday together once more, but in Scotland. Sabina's father, Edward Pleasure, is invited by the main antagonist of the book, Desmond McCain who Edward was writing a report on, to a party on December 31 to celebrate the New Year. All the profits of the party would go to McCain's charity First Aid. They were all set to leave when Sabina's mother announced she wasn't feeling well and could not come. The party bored both Alex and Sabina and they left early, but as they were driving down the hill away from the castle where the party was set, their car's tire was shot out and they were sent plummeting into the loch below. Alex manages to save her and her father's lives once more. They decide to leave for America early, although they invite Alex over for spring. Before leaving, Sabina gives Alex another kiss, suggesting her feelings for him are still existent.

In the book Scorpia Rising, Alex remembers his past visit with Sabina, wherein it is made explicitly clear that they are in a relationship, although Alex is unsure how long they will be able to maintain it. After Jack, best friend and legal guardian, is killed in Egypt, Mrs. Jones manages to get Sabina's parents to become Alex's new legal guardians.

She is described as having dark hair, bright blue eyes and freckles.

In both the books graphic novels and the Stormbreaker film, she appears as a school friend of Alex, instead of meeting him at Wimbledon, to provide a love interest element to the film. By the end of the film she knows (and believes) Alex's secret, instead of learning of it in Eagle Strike.

In the film Stormbreaker, she was portrayed by Sarah Bolger.
