Saige Copeland is the eleventh Girl of the Year released by the American Girl Doll company. She was released in 2013.

Character
Saige is a ten-year-old girl who lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She has a passion for art (specifically, visual arts), a passion she shares with her grandmother, Mimi. Saige is devastated when she finds out her 4th grade year will not include art, and strives to do something about it.

Saige's best friends are Gabi, an animal lover, and Tessa, a music lover. She also tries to make friends with Tessa's new best friend, Dylan.

Saige's collection focuses on art. Her outfits are very colorful and based on the bright colors of her New Mexican home.

Saige has a horse named Picasso and later in the series her grandmother gives her Georgia the horse and a border collie dog named Sam; her grandmother's dog, Rembrandt, is Sam's brother.

Personality and Facts
Saige loves art and horseback riding. When she rides Picasso she feels like age has no matter. She is a very creative and imaginative girl. She is also afraid of public speaking (in the movie and book) and speaking up for herself, to which she is overwhelmed with, although she eventually learned to overcome it. She enjoys to ride horses with her grandmother Mimi, and her best friend Gabi. Her and Gabi enjoy happy talks on a trail ride and singing to the horses while her and Mimi enjoy the peace and quiet of just being with each other.

Saige, as happened throughout the book and movie, experiences jealousy - her best friend Tessa is becoming best friends with bossy, attitude-filled Dylan. But Saige creatively finds a way through everything, and tries to get through Tessa in ways she knows she can. She also spends time with the new girl, Gabi. Gabi teaches her tricks for their "Professor Piccaso" show at the fair.

Saige is also an artistically gifted girl, having creativity hardwired in her brain. This helps with creative solutions and painting.
