History:Sage was born and raised in Whitetail Woods, His father was a proud lumberjack, and his mother forager from day one, and they lived happily in a wee cabin in the woods, with Sage trotting about a mile to go to the local school. He was always a smart one, very bright and creative, and he loved to paint! Painting wood with a brush betwix his teeth becoming a pasttime of his, it was during a class that he first made eye contact with the most beautiful doe he had ever seen...Her name was Whisper.

He fell head over heels, it was just a childhood crush and he would surely grow out of it! But she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, as a way of winning her affection he painted her portrait on a slab of wood, which he glazed and polished afterwards... it was a little creepy and Whisper was at first a little put off by the odd but sweet gesture!

He was offended that Whisper didn't seem to appreciate his efforts and went home to complain bitterly to his father that "silly girls" didn't appreciate his grand gesture! His father sympathized but stroked his young buck's hair and told him that the painting was very nice, but possibly too much...? With a girl like Whisper he should probably take it nice and slow, Slowness was not one of Sage's favorite things but he was determined to at least get a date with that pretty doe!

Sage took his father's advice to heart though, and decided that he should forge a friendship with her and learn more about her, sitting by her at lunch and talking, learning more about her, and in turn she learned more about him... Her family owned a berry farm, and she was passionate about it, but one day wanted to see all of Equestria! He learned about her love of art, and of fashion, and about how her favorite blossoms were cherry blossoms! It was amazing how much he learned when he took the time to try!

Their friendship grew strong, and come the time that they were both done with school they were attached at the hip! Sage shared with Whisper all sorts of things, about his love of painting, his desire to also travel, but how he enjoyed the peace of the woods, and the quiet of the snowfall...and during his discussion of all these things, Whisper the shy doe stole a kiss.

The kiss was what turned them from friends to soulmates, and the two decided that it was best for them to combine their passions! Whisper's parents had moved on from the farming business and had left the farm to Whisper, who without hesitation asked Sage to run it with her, since during their time she had learned his head for business was stronger than her own senses on the matter. He readily agreed and the two soon moved in to the farm together, and it flourished under their hooves.

They were not sure when they decided to get married,but it was during the breakfast dishes that Sage finally glanced at Whisper and asked her to be his bride, and she agreed to it, there was no grand gesture, no pomp or circumstance, just two hearts deciding they were stronger together than they were apart. The wedding was in a clearing, under the weeping willow... it was gentle and beautiful, and afterwards the two went back to running their farm! For a while things were wonderful! There was nothing more they could ask for.

Well almost nothing... Sage was feeling empty, their life needed something, there was a void that he could feel and wanted to fill! He wanted kids...but Whisper had to explain to him that due to genetics that was going to be impossible biologically. This did not deter him in the slightest! Sage pressed that their life was comfortable enough and that they could use something to love, and it was agreed that they would look into adoption.

It was a spring morning when they brought home the little Unicorn filly, and named her Mulberry Blush, both parents positively aglow, Sage looking like every inch a proud papa! And from day ONE, the little filly was a Daddies girl! Sage always down for tea parties, and dress up, and Whisper teaching their daughter the day to day works of the farm! As neither of them were unicorns they spent her to a school that would help her hone her natural talents...It was hard to raise a unicorn, but the struggle made the end result so much sweeter...

When Mulberry got her cutie mark? Sage cried like a baby! So proud of his baby girl learning what her destiny was! Even though cutie marks had never truly made sense to him, it meant something to her! His baby girl was growing up! And grow up she did into a fine and responsible mare! So sure of her were both her parents that they decided to retire early and leave the farm in her hooves.

Sage and Whisper now travel Equestria, learning all they can about this world they call home! Sage wanting to even go as far as Unyasi to learn more about the art and culture there...He is looking forward to a life of adventure and travel.

Character Summary: Sage is a gentle soul, with a love of art, passion for adventure, and a interest in all cultures, while still being a rough and tumble buck, able to stand his ground in the toughest of situations! Head strong and stubborn, tending to be a bit set in his ways, but can always be turned to the right path with gentle guidance (OR a firm smack upside the head!)

He is very empathetic and can connect strongly to all creatures on an emotional level, though is also more prone to give in to certain emotional impulses, strongly contrasting his wife's calm and cool demeanor. Having a head for business and numbers, before retirement he ran the financial side of the farm, keeping tabs on inventory and profit, and likes to see himself as a shrewd businessman...buck.

SilverSage is also very easily offended, be it by a remark or by someone not "appreciating" his art, but he is not so self absorbed he cannot learn from criticism, and every day he is adapting and changing to the world around him.

(A HUGE thanks to Captain McDerp for drawing Sage for me!)
