sullen girl

⸻  BACKGROUND

Sage grew up in a working-class neighborhood with her mother, who raised her by herself. Their bond was strong but strained due to financial struggles and Sage's ambition.

She worked tirelessly throughout high school, maintaining top grades while juggling part-time jobs to support herself

Sage's dream was to attend college, but the outbreak shattered those dreams, forcing her to adapt to a life of survival. Before the outbreak, Sage was a talented gymnast in high school, honing her agility and quick reflexes, skills that have proven crucial in navigating the dangers of the new world.

Three years ago, tragedy struck when Sage's mother passed away, leaving her devastated and adrift in a world torn apart by the apocalypse. It was in the depths of her grief that Sage stumbled upon the Domus Spei, a beacon of hope in a world overrun by darkness. Finding solace among its walls, she joined the community, though the pain of her loss still lingers, a scar that she carries with her to this day.

⸻  HEADCANONS

Sage is fiercely protective of her fellow survivors, willing to go to great lengths to ensure their safety and well-being. She forms strong bonds with those she trusts, viewing them as an extension of her own family.

Sage has a peculiar habit of collecting small trinkets and mementos during her hunts, each item carrying a unique story or memory. Whether it's a shiny rock she found by a stream or a worn-out charm bracelet salvaged from an abandoned house, these tokens serve as reminders of the moments of beauty and humanity she's encountered amidst the chaos. Sometimes she gives these trinkets as little gifts to her closest friends.

She also carries a well-worn journal with her at all times, its pages filled with sketches, observations, and snippets of poetry she's written over the years. It's her most prized possession, a tangible record of her journey through the wilderness and a source of comfort during the darkest of times.

⸻  WANTED CONNECTION

BEST FRIEND/ROOMMATE Sage met this person as soon as she joined Domus Spei. They saw her at her worst and helped her navigate her grief. Due to this, Sage considers them practically like family.
