Saige Danyluk

Saige wears a dried flower wrapped in tape on the ear, there are exactly 5 pairs of socks that Saige likes to wear, all the others they dont like at all. Saige has an outfit that they call “my Dyke uniform” and it’s a different one every month. Many rings on the fingers jingle to the beat when Saige philosophizes. They share all the transparent and glittery fabrics of the closet with Elliot and Elliot grows a fine but distinctive moustache within seconds and draws everyone around them into a magical world of masc divas that feels like a comforting embrace. Saige prefers to walk through the forest with Moomin by the hand, a bright red scarf wrapped around their hair and singing “oh bitter Earth”.
