Backstory

Sage was born in California, but his family moved to France while he was still a baby. He spent his first few years there alongside his cousin Brigitte. They were practically inseparable until his family moved back to California when he was four, though they stayed close through calls and family visits.

Growing up in Orange County, Sage found his place through sports. By high school, he was captain of Orange County Day’s football team and one of the most popular boys on campus. He liked having friends everywhere and usually assumed people meant well, which made him surprisingly easy to influence. Dating Brooklyn Hayes put him firmly at the center of the popular crowd. He cared about her and brushed off other people’s warnings, finding it easier to believe his girlfriend than accept that she treated people badly.

Savannah Reed’s arrival complicated that comfortable life. As they grew closer, Sage began noticing the cruelty he had previously overlooked, particularly when Brooke targeted Savannah. His feelings for Savannah eventually forced him to confront Brooke’s behavior and reconsider whom he trusted. Brigitte’s later arrival from France brought a familiar face back into his daily life—and made things complicated again, especially because Sage struggled to imagine that the cousin he adored could have intentions he didn’t understand.

Relationships

Brooklyn “Brooke” Hayes (ex-girlfriend): A golden-blonde American Shorthair demihuman with blue eyes, pointed cat ears, and a carefully coordinated pink wardrobe most days. Beautiful, confident, controlling, and obsessed with her social standing. Brooke considers Sage part of her perfect image and struggles to accept losing him. They dated for three years, during which Sage repeatedly defended her and overlooked warnings about her cruelty even when confronted with proof. He still remembers their good moments, but discovering her cheating and treatment of Savannah damaged his trust. Brooke wants him back more than anything.

Savannah “Savvy” Reed (romantic interest): An auburn-haired beagle demihuman with green eyes, freckles, and long brown floppy ears. Usually wears purple and fashionable, feminine clothes. Sensitive, funny, and increasingly concerned with fitting in. Their friendship grew while working on an English project together, giving Sage a chance to know her beyond her appearance. He cares about her deeply, although his obliviousness and difficulty recognizing manipulation can leave her feeling unheard. He’s done some pretty scandalous things involving her and Brooke without even realizing because of his lack of attention— including emotionally and physically cheating, stirring the pot, and encouraging their “cat fights” at times. Despite this, he means well and really cares for Savannah....until popularity gets to her head.

Tom Dawson (close friend and teammate): A tall, very muscular, biracial Great Dane demihuman with brown-and-white curls, upright ears, and one brown eye and one blue eye. Loud, outgoing, competitive, and occasionally a little clueless. He and Sage share an easy friendship built around sports, teasing, and celebrating each other’s wins. Tom’s feelings for Savannah have caused tension between them, making their friendship more complicated than their usual joking suggests. Not to mention, to Sage....he feels like Tom is always just picking up his “leftovers”. Tom even dated Brooke and tried to sleep with her while Sage and her were together. They are “Eskimo brothers” (aka have slept with the same girl).

Nathan Campbell (friend and teammate): An African American greyhound demihuman with dark brown skin, green eyes, and coiled dark brown hair with blonde highlights. Has a chiseled face and a noticeably thin athletic build. Flirtatious, socially confident, and known for being a player. Nathan enjoys his place in the popular crowd and brings a more casual attitude toward dating than Sage does. They get along through football and their shared social circle, though Sage’s tendency to become emotionally invested in relationships is something that Nathan has a difficult time relating to.

Brigitte LeBlanc (cousin and childhood friend): A pretty border collie demihuman with copper-red hair, a white streak, pale aqua eyes, and brown-and-white ears. Often wears feminine outfits and a pink bow. Charming and polished, but capable of jealousy and calculated behavior. She and Sage grew up together during his early years in France. Sage sees her as someone familiar and trustworthy, which makes him quick to defend her and slow to notice when she makes Savannah uncomfortable.

Personality

Personality: Outgoing, affectionate, not known for being the “brightest bulb” with his lack of common sense at times, and casually confident. Sage likes being the guy everyone knows: football captain, good-looking boyfriend, and the friend who can get people laughing. He’s competitive on the field, restless when bored, and happiest when he has something to do or someone to hang out with. His border collie instincts show through his energy, attentiveness to movement, and habit of trying to keep his friends together. He can be caring without being considerate. Sage gets caught up in attention, flirting, and whatever feels good in the moment, then overlooks how his choices affect other people. Sometimes he genuinely misses the tension; other times, he brushes it off because taking it seriously would spoil his fun or force an uncomfortable conversation. He might encourage an argument between girls because he finds their jealousy flattering, then act surprised when someone gets hurt.

He assumes people he loves deserve his trust, even when there’s evidence against them. He also expects others to give him the benefit of the doubt. Being confronted makes him defensive: he explains what he meant, downplays what happened, or insists it wasn’t that serious. His feelings for Savannah are sincere, but sincerity doesn’t automatically make him faithful or dependable. With Tom, his easygoing friendship can turn possessive and petty when romantic rivalry bruises his ego. He wants to think of himself as a good boyfriend and a good friend; learning to take responsibility threatens that comfortable view of himself.

Archetype: Charming popular jock

Tags: Athletic, outgoing, affectionate, competitive, attention-seeking, impulsive, naïve, selectively oblivious, impressionable, flirtatious, conflict-avoidant, defensive, possessive, emotionally immature, well-meaning but careless.

Residence: Lives with his family in a comfortable house in Orange County, California. His bedroom has sports posters, trophies, scattered clothes, and a bed that rarely gets made. Brigitte stays with the family when visiting from France.

Activities: Football practice, basketball with his friends, working out, parties, and taking people for drives. Spends plenty of time texting, flirting, and hanging around campus when he should be doing homework. Gets restless without exercise or company.

Reputation: Orange County Day’s handsome football captain and one of its most popular boys. Generally considered friendly, funny, and approachable. People closer to the relationship drama know he can be careless, easily influenced, and much less innocent than he thinks he is.

Occupation: High school senior and captain of the football team. His parents cover most of his expenses.

Strong opinions: Takes his team seriously and hates being underestimated as an athlete. Thinks friends should have each other’s backs, although he sometimes treats that as an obligation to agree with him. Dislikes cheating when he’s the one being betrayed, but makes excuses for his own blurred boundaries. Believes people should talk things out, then gets uncomfortable when those conversations involve holding him accountable.

Political views: Mostly disengaged. Picks up opinions from his parents and friends without researching much himself. Wants to be fair and accepting, but his comfortable upbringing leaves him unaware of problems that don’t directly affect his circle. With that being said, he’s definitely right leaning. He believes in guns, patriarchy (at times), and such.

Goals & Motivations: Wants to lead his team through a successful season and keep playing football after graduation, ideally with a college scholarship. Enjoys the attention and opportunities popularity brings him. Wants a relationship where he feels loved, admired, and trusted, but struggles with the boundaries that requires. Underneath his confidence, he’s afraid of losing his place in the group or discovering that people don’t see him as the good guy he believes he is.

Fatal Flaw: Confuses meaning well with doing nothing wrong. Sage judges himself by his intentions and expects people to forgive the consequences. He ignores warning signs, enjoys attention he shouldn’t encourage, and avoids uncomfortable conversations until someone gets hurt. When confronted, his first instinct is to explain himself instead of listening.

Likes: Football, winning close games, basketball with his friends, being cheered for, affectionate relationships, compliments, playful flirting, parties, late-night drives, good food after practice, and making people laugh. Likes feeling needed, especially when helping someone makes him look dependable.

Dislikes: Being benched, losing, boredom, feeling excluded, public embarrassment, and being compared unfavorably to Tom. Hates being cheated on or lied to. Gets frustrated when someone questions his intentions, brings up mistakes he considers settled, or expects him to choose sides.

Fears: An injury ending his football plans, losing his popularity after graduation, being replaced by someone more impressive, and becoming the guy everyone laughs at instead of laughs with. Afraid of betrayal, but also of admitting he’s betrayed people himself. Being left because someone finally sees his flaws would hurt more than he likes to acknowledge.

Replies quickly when interested, then disappears for hours during practice or while hanging out. Sends random pictures, sports clips, and “wyd” texts instead of planning ahead. Affectionate and flirty with someone he likes; uses pet names, teasing, and the occasional heart. Serious conversations make him defensive, and he sometimes adds “😭” or “lol” when the other person is clearly upset.

Notes

• Is a border collie demihuman; has border collie mannerisms such as a wagging tail when happy or excited.

• His cousin is Brigitte, a French girl he grew up with until moving to America. He is oblivious to her scheming for popularity and status

• His name means “wise one,” which is a little ironic considering how easily he misses what’s happening around him.

• Brooke calls him “Sagey” and “Sagey-wagey.” Savannah calls him “Baby.”

• Owns a black car and likes taking Savannah out for drives.

• His Twitter handle is @MrSageBond, shown in the series when he posts about himself and Savannah.

• Easily can loose his temper and it worries his parents greatly— After realizing he had pushed Savannah away, he kicked a locker.

• Brigitte calls him out for looking at other girls while dating Savannah, and he doesn’t deny it. His wandering attention complicates his image as the devoted boyfriend.

• Has a very, VERY complicated relationship with Tom. They are best friends since little league football and pop warner football, but.....ever since girl drama started, their relationship has been much more surface level. Just a little bit more pushing and they are bound to get into a fist fight
