'''Savannah Rachel Bellingham Plumb Cheesman '''(ruh-SHELL) is an author, adventurer, and heiress. She was born in [[Sunset Valley |Sunset Valley]] to classical musicians [[Fanon:Nathan Jolina-Plumb|Nathan Jolina-Plumb]] and his longtime partner, Shandra Bellingham Plumb. She is also the granddaughter of [[Jamie Jolina]] and [[Fanon:Nigel Plumb|Nigel Plumb]]. Her birth took place right after her parents moved into their grand estate at [[Summer Hill Court]], so she was born to privilege. Her status as Nathan's favorite child was never in doubt from the beginning; as his only daughter, she curried favor from him that his other children could not get. Her younger brother is actor and musician [[Fanon:Sebastian Plumb|Sebastian Plumb]]. She alone of Nathan's children shares his blond hair and pale complexion. She is of English, Irish, French, German, and Native Simerican descent.
 
===Early Years===
 
An urban legend told to this day in Sunset Valley holds that when Savannah's mother, Shandra, was pregnant with her, she spent a lot of time in the local cemetery at night, to fish for deathfish, one of the main ingredients for the [[ambrosia]] recipe. Cemeteries often come alive at night with the presence of long-departed souls. Whether true or not, this may well be the source of Savannah's lifelong love affair with specters.
Savannah Rachel Bellingham was born at Sacred Spleen Memorial Hospital in Sunset Valley.  When her parents got married, she was given the Plumb surname.  She was named after a street in [[Twinbrook]], her mother's birthplace. Her parents, both classical musicians, valued education.  Her privileged upbringing began in earnest at Summer Hill Court. Her education was begun quickly. In the early years, it was overseen by her aunt, [[Fanon:Margaret Plumb|Margaret Plumb]], and by her polymath mother, Shandra. They started off normally, by teaching the little girl to walk, talk, and toilet. Then they went with peg and xylophone toys and proceeded to skill books. As a child she was a bit of a tomboy, much to the consternation of her mother. Nearly every day Savannah was coming home with notes from school, saying that she’d been in fights with boys.

But that wasn’t the only thing unusual about Savannah. She was a bright and incredibly serious child who almost never smiled. When she was at home, the sober little girl would often be found exploring her aunt’s bookcase or painting on her mother’s easel. Family friends were shocked by the seriousness of Savannah's demeanor. No one in the family could recall Savannah ever playing with a traditional children’s toy. "There was no question that Savannah had inherited her mother's intellectual giftedness," says her biographer, Jill Simms. "It had to take something special to bring that out, though."

===Rebellious Teen===
Savannah never lacked for self-confidence. It had been drummed in her by her father, who thought the world of her, and who, both willingly and un-wittingly, undermined his wife’s efforts to rein her in at every turn. Though Nathan Plumb had other children, Savannah was clearly his favorite. He called her his 'princess.' She took full advantage of this and knew how to manipulate her father into doing (and purchasing) exactly what she wanted. When her aunt Margaret's will was opened and read, there was only one name on it and one name in it -- Savannah's. She had inherited every dime.  However, since she wasn't yet of age, the money was placed in a trust.
 
Most adolescents engage in some form of rebellion. It is the nature of being an adolescent- a function of breaking away from family and growing up. Savannah Plumb was no exception. The only difference was, since she was the Plumb family princess, her exploits were being recorded for the Sim world to see. There’s no question that she was rebellious, but the degree of her rebellion is disputed.

===Career===
[[File:Interview_with_a_mummyInterview with a mummy.JPG|thumb|left|The cover of Savannah Plumb's bestselling autobiographical novel.]]Upon her return from Egypt, Savannah began her writing career in earnest, using her proceeds from her books to fund further expeditions abroad. It was as if she'd taken the quill from her aunt and run with it. She rocketed to fame on the strength of her debut novel,'' Interview with a Mummy'', which was a runaway best seller and a thinly veiled autobiography. In ''Interview with a Mummy'', archaeologist Saffron Palmer, after a troubled adolescence, seeks ancient relics in Egypt. "Saffron," the daughter of aging actors Nick and Sharon Palmer, was bright but rebellious, clearly seeking something more fulfilling than the privileged life she'd been born to. Most Sims reading the novel knew that "Saffron Palmer" was a pseudonym for Savannah Plumb. Still, they gobbled up the book anyway. Critics praised the book, calling Savannah "an extraordinary new talent... This young woman clearly knows how to spin a yarn," and referring to the book as "exceptional." It won the Critics' Choice award and was a finalist for the Simbel prize for literature. A runaway success, ''Interview with a Mummy'' has been optioned for a movie. As of this writing actresses are being auditioned for the role of Saffron Palmer. However, Savannah has said that she doesn't think anyone can actually play Saffron.

Her follow-up book was almost as successful. Entitled ''Dances with Ghosts'', this novel detailed her paranormal experiences, beginning from a childhood and adolescence exploring the catacombs of Sunset Valley and her conversations with spirits. Her third novel, which was released in October 2012, is called ''Alys in Wonderland, ''and details the story of Alys de Montfort, from her medieval origins to her reappearance as a ghost in Sunset Valley. This book came from her ghost hunting experiences.  She no longer hunts ghosts actively. She is currently working on a fourth book that is as of yet untitled.   In addition, two of her daughters have shown signs they, too, plan on doing something with writing.
 
Savannah won the Vaughan Prize in 2015 for ''The Lost Dragon Egg'', a magical fantasy novel based on the legends of [[Dragon Valley]].  She admits that she wrote the book on a lark, and was surprised when the novel reached the top of the best seller list and was nominated for the prestigious book award.  Critics raved that it was 'genre-defining' and 'the work of a fully realized, mature writer and woman.' Her Vaughan Prize speech was short and to the point.  She dedicated the award to her aunt Margaret, who she credited with teaching her 'everything she knows about telling a story.'  She does plan on writing a sequel.
 
''The Lost Dragon Egg'' is a simple story about a young girl's search for a black dragon egg.  The main character has red hair, which is probably not coincidental considering her aunt Margaret was a redhead.

It is an irony that the daughter of the man who performed for the one and only [[Grim Reaper]] grew up to write paranormal fiction and worked as an active ghost hunter, that the girl who enjoyed sleeping in cemeteries became Simland's foremost expert on paranormal phenomena. In September 2012 she accepted a position as chief archivist in the [[Moonlight Falls]] Vault of Antiquity, which catalogs knowledge about the paranormal.  In March 2013 she accepted a position as Professor of History and Paranormal Studies in the Fine Arts department at [[Sims University]].  She has said that teaching is 'a new challenge' for her that is 'altogether frightening and exhilarating at the same time.'

===Personal life===
While in France working on a project on the origins of nectar, Savannah engaged in a brief dalliance with [[Gustave Delven]], a French historian and photographer and Champs Les Sims resident.  When that ended, however, she married Andrew Cheesman, a reserve forward for the Sim City Llamas soccer team and a former high school classmate. Andrew had pursued her from afar ever since high school. The wedding shocked Sunset Valley but the couple remains married. Together the two are currently (as of this writing) raising seven children: the aforementioned Imsety and Satis, adopted from Egypt, and five biological children -- [[Fanon:AJ Cheesman|Andrew Cheesman Jr.]] (AJ), a young adult; [[Fanon:Sage Cheesman|Sageblossom Margaret]] (better known as Sage) and [[Fanon:Sierra Cheesman|Sierra Myst]], teenagers; [[Fanon:Skylar Cheesman|Skylar Róisín]], a child; and Sawyer Nathan, a toddler. Sage Margaret was named in honor of Savannah's aunt, the prolific novelist Margaret Plumb, who died when Savannah was a teenager, and Sawyer Nathan was named in honor of her father. Her last two children, Skylar and Sawyer, were born in Hidden Springs, while her older three were born in Sunset Valley. 
 
Savannah inherited a curious mix of her mother's practicality and her father's impulsiveness.   She seems to have adopted her father's laissez-faire, hands-off approach to parenting, in her words, "allowing her children to be who they're going to be." She has, however, been heavy-handed at times, such as forcing her oldest son to attend college. So far, this approach has yielded mixed results. Her daughter Sage wrote her a three-page letter begging her to spend more time with her and her siblings. This worked -- for awhilea while. A judge in Hidden Springs excoriated her for this approach in regards to her daughter, Sierra's, behavior. A polymath like her mother, Savannah has high expectations for her children; indeed, she has clashed with her husband over their education.  While she wanted to send them to specialized boarding schools dovetailing with their interests, he wanted to educate them in the local public schools. The couple has, however, shown a united front when it comes to their daughter, Sierra's, psychological issues.
 
The family currently splits its time between Sunset Valley, Hidden Springs, and Moonlight Falls and owns property in all three locations. With the combination of her inheritance from her aunt, her expected inheritance from her father, and her own personal fortune earned from her career, Savannah is estimated to be worth more than the Queen of Hidden Springs, [[Catarina Vanderburg]], who honored her as a 'dame' during a special ceremony in Hidden Springs. Since she is not a full-time citizen of Hidden Springs, she is not entitled to use 'Dame' before her name.
 
On Mother's Day 2014 Savannah announced via her Facebook page that she was pregnant for the sixth time.  However, she eventually miscarried.  The miscarriage deeply affected her. 
 
A life story such as that of Savannah Rachel Bellingham Plumb Cheesman would eventually capture the imagination of Simmywood movie makers, and indeed, Mrs. Cheesman has been contacted.  An heiress who turned her back on the cushy life of a socialite, Savannah, driven by an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and adventure, traveled the world and turned her experiences into best-selling books.  She's parlayed that life into a teaching career, as well, her classes at Sims University have a waiting list every semester. Inspired by an aunt who wrote, it was no surprise that Savannah ended up writing herself, and because of her artistic talent that she inherited from her mother, she illustrated many of her books herself.
