ALLERGIES: none

PERSONALITY & BEHAVIOR

HOBBIES: music (guitar), photography, film, people watching, spending time with marnie, petty theft.

LIKES: being alone, cartoons, indie and rock music, the scent of fresh leather and coffee, staying up late sleeping in late, nighttime, quiet observation, bike riding.

DISLIKES: people in better circumstances than herself, the taste of pink bubblegum, crowded places, alcohol, second-hand clothing, meeting new people, feeling like she doesn’t ‘fit in,’ feeling like people are staring at her

QUIRKS: she almost always stands with her arms folded, even if she isn’t upset. it’s an unconscious gesture. she sleeps curled up in a ball with her hands tucked under her cheek. she still uses a walkman. though she says it’s because she thinks it’s cool, the truth is she couldn’t afford an ipod or an iphone. she tends to stand with her weight shifted to one foot.

STRENGTHS: durability. sade is a tough cookie and her instinct is to always get up when she’s been knocked down, even if it means she forgets to check if she’s been hurt. observant. sade isn’t overly talkative, and though she can be combative, she always listens and takes note of what is going on around her. responsive. sade is great at thinking on her feet and getting herself out of ‘tight squeezes,’ even if it’s by the skin of her teeth. faithfulness. although sade is slow to trust and even slower to love, once she becomes attached to someone she’s completely devoted to them (sometimes to the point of it becoming a dependent relationship). physical strength. though sade looks small, becoming ‘strong’ has been a personal goal of hers since she was a child. perhaps one of the only students to take gym class seriously, she also incorporated workouts outside of school when possible. when sade started getting involved with the criminal population in her city, it required agility and physical strength on her part. Though not formally trained in any sense, she had to be able to defend herself, to get away, to climb over, under, and around dangerous places (sometimes while carrying very heavy bags). As a result, she’s deceptively strong.

WEAKNESSES: untrusting. sade grew up in an unstable home environment with little support from those around her. she’s trusted the wrong people before and faced negative consequences because of it. as a result she assumes people have ill intent and holds most people at arm’s length. uncooperative. sade doesn’t know how to work on a team. she’s always done things independently, and though it has made her adept at problem solving, she has a bad habit of going off on her own, not communicating, and thinking for herself rather than the welfare of everyone. dealing with natural environments. though sade has experience dumpster diving and foraging in urban settings, she has little to no knowledge about survival in a real wilderness. she doesn’t know how to start a fire or how to find shelter that doesn’t involve a bridge or a hastily constructed pile of cardboard boxes.

POSITIVE TRAITS: efficient, hardy, observant, creative 

NEGATIVE TRAITS:  judgmental, distant, independent, insecure

MENTAL DISABILITIES: idk if this is the right term for it, but she does have PTSD from her home life

SHARE 5 FUN FACTS ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER

one: "sadie” was her grandmother’s name. sade’s dad always told her that her mom was really big on family names, but as sade grew up she felt like the name didn’t fit, preferring to clip it to ‘sade.’ her parents always called her ‘sadie’ anyways.

two: she’s actually pretty good at sewing as long as something can be hand-stitched. her family didn’t have money for new clothes so being able to patch up rips and tears was a necessity.

three: she’s a good singer, though she thinks she’s terrible and insists she can only play the guitar. the only person she’s sang for at this point is marnie.

four: sade has never seen the ocean until now. though she finds it beautiful, she’s also frightened of it’s unpredictability and the breadth of its power.

five: though sade is rather serious and a bit moody, she also has a goofy streak once she’s comfortable. she’s quick to make offhanded jokes and dry, sarcastic remarks, but she’s been known to do something as extreme as trying to walk backwards on her hands to make marnie laugh.

WHAT WAS YOUR CHARACTER WEARING ON THE FLIGHT?

a striped turtleneck that once belonged to her mother. faded. she’s wearing an oversized tee shirt over the top that she got for $1 at value village. it’s a band t from a group Sade doesn’t recognize, but she thought the patchy logo of an alien driving a car through outer space looked cool

oversized red flannel. second hand. there was a large rip in the elbo that sade stitched up, leaving a small scar of black thread behind

black second-hand jeans with a rip in the knee, secured at the waist with one of her mom’s old leather belts

socks with a hole in the right heel, black doc martens marnie gave to her a few years ago when she outgrew them. they’re patchy and worn, but they still have the heels attached so sade held onto them.

braided friendship bracelet from marnie; the colors are light pink, black, and gray. there’s a silver crescent moon charm tied at the tassel. 

silver ring on her thumb - a birthday gift from marnie a few years back. it’s shaped like a silver bird and has a black stone in it’s chest

silver heart locket. sade wears it under her clothes because she hates the way it looks, but she can’t bring herself to get rid of it. it was a gift from her mother. inside there’s a small, hand cut photo of her mother holding sade as a baby. sade had considered scratching it out or pasting marnie in over it, but she can’t bring herself to do it. instead she pasted a little photo of marnie in the other open window to try and make it feel more like it’s her own choice to keep the locket rather than an item she can’t escape.

PLEASE LIST 3 PERSONAL ITEMS OF YOUR CHARACTER THAT WASHED UP ON SHORE

1. her camera. it’s old and runs on polaroids. she’d gotten it second-hand and taught herself how to piece it back into functionality. there are 7 photos left.

2./3. her guitar inside of her guitar case. it’s an acoustic and once belonged to her mother. the case is covered in old, vintage stickers and has the initials of people sade doesn’t recognized carved into it. miraculously, the case protected the guitar in the crash and prevented it from getting completely water damaged.
