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. She attends Mesa Grande Elementary School and, devastated when she finds out her fourth grade year will not include art, strives to do something about it.
She is an only child; her parents are Marina Copeland, a math professor, and David Copeland, an airline pilot. Saige has a pet dog named Sam and a horse named Georgia.
Saige is also an artistically gifted girl, feeling that creativity is hardwired in her brain and helps her come up with creative solutions. She is a very creative and imaginative girl and has been painting and doing art for many years, a hobby she enjoys more than almost anything. She is afraid of public speaking and speaking up for herself and finds them overwhelming, although she eventually does her best to overcome her fears.
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 who's also a music lover. Saige initially experiences several bouts of jealousy when her best friend Tessa starts becoming best friends with bossy, attitude-filled Dylan. Saige creatively finds a way through everything and tries to get through Tessa in ways she's able. She also spends time with a new girl to her school, Gabi, who teaches her tricks for their "Professor Piccaso" show at the fair.
Saige loves art and horseback riding. When she rides Picasso, she feels like age has no matter. She enjoys riding horses with her grandmother Mimi, and her best friend Gabi. She and Gabi enjoy happy talks on a trail ride and singing to the horses while she and Mimi enjoy the peace and quiet of just being with each other.
