Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923) was a member of the original 1893 expedition to Mars, and one of the human settlers of Olympus. As a stage actress with side interests in sculpture and painting, Miss Bernhardt's skill set seemed of dubious worth to the expedition. When the Avatar met her in Martian Dreams, she told how she admired the Martian works of art she had seen, and had spent time gathering and crushing berries from Argyre to use as pigment for her paintings, before Rasputin (Raxachk) closed the city off.
