MEMORIES
EARLIEST MEMORY: swimming at Pencey and Grayson's house with Ziggy and all of their cousins for Freddie's 5th birthday (Sage was 4)
HAPPIEST MEMORY: being pushed in an Asda shopping trolley on a night out with Ziggy and their cousins on their 18th birthday (everyone was pretty drunk apart from Amethyst and Oskar who don't drink)
SADDEST MEMORY: their old goldfish Rust dying. 2013-2015.
MOST IMPACTFUL MEMORY: being slapped by their ex best friend at 14 for confessing her crush on her. taught them that not everyone is accepting and learnt to live with it
WORST MEMORY: being chased by an XL bully 4 months after the ban. it had escaped home (where it was staying so nobody would know about it not being put down) and was very aggressive, she was chased in the streets with maybe 50 other people around who couldn't step in until animal control arrived and she was unharmed.
BEST MEMORY: meeting Rose at pleasure beach in Blackpool at 20. they had a fun day together and connected immediately
FAVORITE MEMORY: coming out to their whole family at once as bi and asexual when she was 15, everyone was supportive and their uncles Stevie and Lenny bought flowers in pink, purple and blue to represent them being bi and because they were proud of them for being brave enough to say it in front of so many people
LEAST FAVORITE MEMORY: being spat on in a corridor by their ex best friend a week after they stopped being friends. most other people couldn't have cared less about her being a lesbian and their ex best friend was beat up for it later, this hurt because they weren't over the rejection yet and didn't like seeing her hurt
STRANGEST MEMORY: a “dream” of meeting a fae (Estrelle) in a forest who she took mushrooms with and had they had sex, remembers the “dream” vividly and has never shared it. Wonders about it constantly
PERSONALS
LIKES: green, black, white, pink, invader zim, swords, axes, rats, insects, snakes, bikes, rugby
DISLIKES: blue, grey, purple, brown, dogs, silk, gold, chopsticks, slow walkers, plans changing, public toilets, public transport
HOBBIES: watching rugby and football, watching invader zim, watching thundercats, playing psychonauts, singing at bars, shopping
FAVORITE POSSESSION(S): sword of omens bottle opener, 80s speaker from their parents, tattoo gun, men's Gucci purse
WHY?: loves thundercats, the speaker works great and fits perfectly with the flat décor, bought the tattoo gun at 16 and gave themselves a small heart tattoo, found the purse on a bus and it only had cigarettes and £25. gave the cigarettes to Franns because she smokes and Sage doesn't.
LEAST FAVORITE POSSESSION(S): rosary beads
WHY?: given from their ex best friend, she has no connection to them but feels bad throwing away a religious item and has never had any luck selling them

*TRIVIA:
they have two rats — Musky and Stinker, named that because their auntie Amelia said “all rats are stinky and musky” and they didn't have a name for the rat babies yet. they always wear gloves when handling them.
they love their job but always have to spend exactly five minutes on break washing their hands. they wear black nitrile gloves (and thin cotton ones inside of them) for comfort and to stop them from feeling like they have to wash their hands as often.
brings black gloves in their pockets/in a bag whenever she goes outside in case she has to withdraw money because of their fear of germs on the buttons on the ATM machines.
she has ten different pairs of black gloves each for different reasons but she has one black pair with rats on them that she wears for handling their pet rats.

*EXTRA NOTE(S): their whole family lives in Blackpool, but her parents met in Bradford and lived in Bradford until Sage decided to move to Blackpool. they both came with them to stay close to everyone.
