Character: Sadie Violeta Cross

Age: 28

Pronouns: She/Her

Back during her teenage years, Sadie Cross was rhythm guitarist of a band called Cryptid à Carnivale. Originally hailing from Jorne, her family moved to Jaixia when she was a teenager, settling in the district of Glensprings. It was there that she met Leira Orta and Arlynn Frever, who she learned were looking to start a band. She had learned to play guitar a few years earlier and quickly joined the pair.

After Cryptid à Carnivale filled out with Sudesh Re’nah on drums and Ina Fukuoa on bass, the five piece crafted song after song. For her part, Sadie represented the Horned Jornerker, a cryptid described as a wild beast with fiery mane and pink body hair that rampaged through the forests in the area. It was also said to make a grunting noise that mimicked a palm muted, down-tuned guitar, something that Sadie loved to do. They played shows and quickly became an underground sensation. Sadie, for her part, was the bubbly and excitable one of the group. She became a fan favorite for how long she spent meeting and greeting those who came to their shows.

When she was in her early 20s and right before they recorded their second album, Leira left the band. Sadie kept in touch with her and when the band eventually went their separate ways after a few more years, she started crafting music for movies and television. She also got married to Roland Morgan, who, coincidentally, was one of CàC’s early promoters and cheerleaders. Now the two have several bands they tour with in between Sadie’s myriad of projects.

Still… she longs for the day she can play guitar with Leira again. She misses that.
