Emily, her doll. Sara gives them her doll and tells them that every time they hug it, they will really be getting a hug from her.
Liesel Matthews. You have to keep in mind that this is about the 1995 version, not the earlier version which did star Shirley Temple. Vanessa Lee Chester protrays Becky and Heather DeLoach portrays Ermengarde, one of Sara's school friends.
New York. Sara is attending the same boarding school her mother attended in New York.
India. Sara's father moved from England to India. It does not say when though. So according to what the movie refers to, Sara is from India. Sara's father, Captain Crewe, says that India is the only place that "stirs the imagination".
Emily. Captain Crewe told Sara that if she is ever frightened, to just tell Emily, and Emily will get the messege to him. It is so sad when he leaves and Sara is left at the school. Also when she hugs Emily, it would be really like giving him a hug.
1856. It says it right under Miss Minchin's name right outside the door of the school. Later in the movie the sign was changed. It read "The Randolph School for Girls".

John lived next to the school that Sara attended, which shows that the world is smaller than you think. The war that Captain Crewe was fighting in was WWI. The movie takes place in 1914.
Becky. Sara gives Becky a pair of yellow shoes with fir around the edges. Sara saw Becky icing her feet in her room in the attic. Sara left the shoes in a box with a little friendly note on it for Becky. Becky and Sara become best friends, and later sisters, when Sara is made into a servant girl.
Sita. The story she tells reflects what is going in Sara's life. The same actor that played Captain Crewe played Prince Rama. This actor was Liam Cunningham. Queen Kaikay had banished her son because she was jealous of him.
