Cry Wolf

• She was tall and slender, like a runway model—she looked expensive. Her brown hair was streaked with gold highlights emphasized by gold glitter brushed across her cheekbones and, more heavily, over a pair of magnificent blue eyes⁷²
• Not only beautiful, but dramatic, as well, and the combination made her memorable⁷²

Burn Bright

• Well-tended nails²¹⁹

Werewolf

Burn Bright

• Had her own nightmares suffered at werewolf hands⁹⁴
• About being a werewolf: “What I wouldn’t give to live an ordinary life, you know? No monsters. No dead bodies. The kind of life where I could get outraged that some guy is getting paid more than me for doing the same job. That a speeding ticket is enough to ruin my whole day.”¹¹⁰
• Sage wasn’t old-old. Older than she looked, maybe, but not old enough to have experienced institutionalized slavery²²²
• Light and dark golden brown coat²⁷⁸

• Had several credit cards and a hefty bank account under the name Samantha Harding³⁰¹

Burn Bright

• All business, none of the political maneuvering that Leah was prone to⁷⁹

Cry Wolf

Burn Bright

• Sage was a beautiful woman, but her grin transformed her face. Made her less beautiful and more approachable⁹⁶
• Liked to wear nice clothes. Part of the reason for that was her job, and part of it was she wore them like armor. She didn’t wear soft things, colors and fabrics to make her look sweet. The clothes she wore gave her visual power. Here, they declared to the world, is a strong woman¹⁹⁴
• Likes merlot²¹⁵

With the Cornicks

Cry Wolf

• Between her and Leah, Sage was the more dominant of the two, but Leah took her place from her mate⁷²
• Sage is the only one who gets away with calling Charles 'Charlie'⁷⁷
• is afraid of Charles⁹⁷
• Anna liked Sage¹⁰⁵

• Sage had whisked Anna away for an emergency trip to Missoula the day before her wedding, so she’d even had a proper gown²⁹³

Burn Bright

• Bran found out about her and rescued her as soon as he heard⁹⁴
• Though Sage got along with Leah just fine, it didn't spare Leah from Sage's pointed comments¹⁰⁹
• Sage and Leah were possibly as close to friends as two very dominant women (werewolves or not) could be. Leah actively liked Sage and usually behaved herself in front of her. Sage snipped and snarked at her and about her but ultimately had Leah’s back¹⁵⁶
• Charles remembered what she’d looked like when Bran had brought her here, the look in her eyes the same as Anna’s eyes when they’d first met¹⁹⁴
• Sage didn’t look at Charles with fear in her eyes anymore. He liked her. She was smart, funny, and wise. Someone he could trust to have his back¹⁹⁴
• She was the only one who ever got to call him Charlie. Because the first time she’d said it, she’d been bruised and scared. When his father had introduced him to her, she’d raised her face to look him in the eyes, terror making her shake. Then she’d said, with hopeless defiance, “Hello, hello, Charlie.”¹⁹⁴
• Charles had never heard Sage lie before²⁵⁶
• Leah did not allow herself to get close enough to Sage to fall victim to one of her witchy tricks as Charles had²⁷⁷
• Had hunted with the Marrok's mate for two decades or more²⁸⁴
• Sage's betrayal had totally blindsided Bran³⁰⁶

With Asil

Cry Wolf

• Sage had been invading his hothouse almost since he’d built it. He would have long ago reduced anyone else to shreds for interrupting his solitude. Slapping down Sage was as rewarding as beating a puppy: it accomplished nothing except to make him feel abusive¹⁶⁴
• Hello, hello was her usual greeting to Asil¹⁶⁴
• Asil liked that he didn't have to constantly apologize for his volatile mood swings¹⁶⁶
• She took off her coat and settled in just to his right to start on the next row of bushes, so he knew she was in the mood for a good talk. Otherwise, she’d have started on the other side of the bushes, where she wouldn’t get in the way of his work¹⁶⁶
• Sage, he knew, was beginning to suspect that his madness was feigned¹⁶⁹

Burn Bright

• Seldom to be found too far from Asil if he was present⁹³
• Sage and Asil had something going on- something they'd been pretty private about¹⁴⁰
• Currently Sage is playing hard to get¹⁵⁶

With the Wolves

• Sage was scared of Jericho²⁵⁶
• Sage was the pack's traitor²⁵⁸
