Sage is a little awkward socially with new people her own age or strangers due to being raised in isolation for most of her life outside of being with her father. She does however warm up to those who accept her as a friend. This isolation has also resulted in her missing out on experiences outside of her life on her farm, such as not knowing what ice cream is or understanding slang or anything that the universe outside her home has to offer. Her shepherding skills included knowing when the weather would shift, which proved to be an invaluable survival skill on her colony and in general on alien worlds. Despite lacking academically in certain skills for now from her sheltered upbringing, Sage is a gifted athlete due to her years of roaming around the terrain of Vaela, swimming during the floods and climbing the moon’s trees and cliffs. This helped her excel at the Red Campus P.E. obstacle courses. This trait and her skills of detecting bad weather beforehand proved invaluable for her trial with her classmates and helped them reach the end goal of getting to Prism Peak safely. Sage also doesn’t respond well to failure and understandably sometimes panics over it. Her elaborate story that had given her access to the Ranger Academy, also has agitated these episodes of panic because of imposter syndrome and fear of failing her first year of school. On her farm back in Vaela, Sage was adventurous and brave, often daydreaming about being a hero when tending to her space goats.
