[@SamaraJayne96] Would it be alright if I did a bit of expansion on Sage's personality From his Aunt's perspective?

I think.."[/color][/i] [b][u][color=f49ac2]Personality:[/color][/u][/b] [i][color=f49ac2]"I'm not really sure how to explain what I'm really like, but I could explain what I think I'm like. I don't talk very often, but when I do my voice is pretty soft, I don't like being loud or aggressive, life is too important, and too very very short to waste on pride or violence. I've been told that my glasses must be tinted rose for me to stay so positive, and that perhaps I think things will turn out ok because I spend more time spaced out or in my head than the real world. My Aunt says that a lot, but I know she just likes teasing me. I like people, children in particular, and I like spend a lot of time babysitting or volunteering at the daycare next door to the flower shop when I'm not working, children understand me a lot better than those my age. Everyone's too busy looking for bad in me to realise that I don't have much, if any." "I guess if I had to sum myself up into one word, it'd be Pollyannaish. Although I don't believe it's illogical to be optimistic or positive, we live in a place so enormous that it's hard to remember that, in the long run, none of this will matter. Everyone will fade from history and memory one day, so I think people should enjoy the fleeting time we have, and just focus on what truly makes you happy." [/color][/i] [color=00a651]"Sage is a brilliant young man, truly, but I'm afraid the years he's spent in near-isolation may be curbing his talents. While Sage is an incredibly, almost intimidatingly so, content individual, he rarely sees a need to seek things out. In addition, he is very much so still a child at heart, he carries a genuine sense of wonder and curiosity everywhere he goes, and the only time he seems to display shame is when others observe his compulsive disorder. Also, Sage calls himself a "rebelling absurdist", and has told me this means that he recognizes and accepts that existence is 'without meaning,' but is simultaneously rebelling against this meaninglessness by creating his own meaning. Ever since Ms. Calcelmo had him read "The Myth of Sisyphus" he's carried a copy in his bag always, and loves to discuss philosophy. He also has a love for art, and is a very talented painter, but he rarely sees reason to." [/color] [b][u][color=f49ac2]Biography:[/color][/u][/b] [i][color=f49ac2]"I grew up mostly alone, I do have my Aunt, but she's a very busy women so even while I was living with her I only saw her a few times a month. When I was very young, about Two or Three, my mother disappeared, and so I went to live with the only family I knew of, My Aunt. She lived in England, with a mansion of a home but no one to share it with, although the circumstances were less than favourable, we were both very happy to be together. I only remember the faintest smile from my mother, and if Auntie didn't have photos, I'm sure I would have forgotten her face altogether. Because of how wealthy my Aunt was, I was allowed to chose between being tutored from home, or going to a border school. Being the frightened child I was, I chose the former, and my Aunt hired one of the greatest live-in tutors in Europe, Ms. Calcelmo. Ms. Calcelmo taught me all the way through my education, up until I graduated "High-School." Thanks to Ms.Calcelmo I had become the highest scoring student in Kensington. After I graduated, I received invitations to a number of Private universities, and Eventually, I chose Oxbridge, if only to please Auntie. However, something the school wasn't expecting was my mental health, or lack thereof. At about eight years old, I had begun to develop OCD, it was a fairly mild form, but it still caused a bit of disruption and left some of the students feeling a bit... Uncomfortable. It's nothing insane really, just a few odd quirks. When I enter a room, I have to Open and close a door about four times. Sometimes more, sometimes less, and when I leave a room, I have to turn the lights on and off seven times. I'm a rare specimen that isn't germaphobic, and I don't freak out if someone touches me, but it's not something I seek out. Because of my.. Afflictions, I was asked to attend Room 405."[/color][/i] [b][u][color=f49ac2]Likes:[/color][/u][/b] [i][color=f49ac2]"I'm quite fond of Philosophy, Art, Children, and Flowers.
