'''Sageblossom Margaret Plumb CheesmanHeilman''', better known as '''Sage''', (née '''Cheesman''')  is currently a scholarship student at [[Sims University]]. She was born in [[Sunset Valley]] to Andrew Cheesman, a professional soccer player, and [[Fanon:Savannah Plumb|Savannah Plumb]], an author, adventurer, and archaeologist. The second child and first daughter born to the couple, Sage was conceived in [[Shang Simla]], China, while her parents were on a mission to retrieve Pangu's Axe, and named after flowers Savannah saw there. She was given the middle name of Margaret in honor of Savannah's aunt, [[Fanon:Margaret Plumb|Margaret Plumb]], who died when she was a teenager. Like her younger sister, [[Fanon:Sierra Cheesman|Sierra]], she seldom uses her full first name, and the only person to refer to her by it is her mother.  She is of English, Irish, French, German, and Native Simerican descent.

Sage CheesmanHeilman grew up in Sunset Valley as a child of privilege. As the daughter of a professional athlete and a famous author and adventurer, she had the best of everything. But there were things that were unusual about this child. For example, when she turned child, she stopped eating meat, and remains a vegetarian to this day, preferring to eat salads instead of sweets. For a science project, she had to collect samples of insects, and she cried for three days because she couldn't find a rare water beetle. She also preferred sleeping outside in the treehouse her father built than in the four-poster bed her parents had bought for her. She took ballet lessons but quit because other girls were teasing her. When her older brothers, [[Fanon:AJ Cheesman|AJ]] and Imsety, were sentenced to a stint at Fort Starch Military Academy due to bad behavior, Sage was affected the most. She couldn't understand why her brothers had to go away.

As a response to this letter, Savannah took Sage to see a local psychologist, Dr. Bill McGaw, to try to help her work through her problems. Dr. McGaw instead took Savannah to task for her laser focus on her career. Sage's love of animals and the outdoors stood in stark contrast to her adventurous, intellectually-minded mother.  Indeed, Savannah has lovingly said of her oldest biological daughter, "Sage seems to have been born in the wrong decade."

Even though she had the option and the financial means to, she chose not to forego the university's requirement that first-semester freshmen stay in university housing to get the full college experience. Attending college with her older brother, [[Fanon:AJ Cheesman|Andrew Jr]]., and her best friend, Kayleigh, Sage blossomed there, writing for the campus blog and student newspaper, working for the campus radio station, organizing and speaking at environmental protests, and even cultivating her first serious romantic relationship, with fellow fine arts student [[Kyle Heilman]], who, ironically, Kayleigh met first. But Kyle chose Sage, while Kayleigh's attentions were turned on Sage's older brother, on whom she'd had a crush since she was a teenager.  [[Cid Serverus]] harbored a crush on her; however, the pair remain friends.

Sage was a little bit perturbed when her mother, Savannah, accepted a position teaching art history at Sims University, the same school where she is now currently. She has written extensively in her own blog about her mixed feelings on the matter: "I'm happy for my mom, that she gets to do something that she clearly loves to do -- but did she have to do it at my school?" The awkwardness of the situation, however, didn't stop her from spending extensive amounts of time in her rental house, even going as far as moving in this semester. However, she has purposely avoid taking classes that her mother teaches.
