Line 38:
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 aSavannah streetLane 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 her 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."
