Name: Sadie Monahue
Stage Name: Garnet
Date Of Birth: January 19th, 1991
Starsign: Capricorn
Sadie is 22 years old when she joins the group,
and was born in Birmingham, England. Though firmly placing herself on the
straight and narrow now, she has many skeletons in her closet which she
is shy of revealing to her new allies. First in trouble with the police
at the age of 16, she has served several short sentences in juvenile detention
and prison for theft and one charge of possession. Sadie's ex-boyfriend
Neal is violent...she moved in with him at the age of 18, leaving a year
later, and has been harassed by him on and off ever since. However, she
is afraid of him more than anything else, and wants to be free of his clutches.
Her first encounter with Jewel came after a chance meeting with Topaz
when the band are touring in England. Sadie stopped getting in trouble
with the police after a stint in prison aged 19, but it has proven hardest
of all for her to shake off her old allies, for Neal has no idea of letting
her go. Sadie used heroin between the ages of 17 and 19 when she went into
rehabilitation as part of her sentence for possession. It completely changed
her outlook on life and since then she has gotten her own apartment and
a job in a rehabilitation centre for teenagers from troubled backgrounds.
However, she is shy of confessing her past sins to her new friends,
afraid they will reject her.
Sadie's father is an army man and she has four brothers
and sisters, of which she is third born. Sadie loves to sing, but doesn't
believe she has any talent, despite her ability for both composition and
in particular art. She also learnt to play guitar as a child, and has kept
it going. Sadie's mother, a one time folk singer, was murdered in a street
riot when Sadie was 10 and her father has never really recovered from the
loss. Sadie's eldest sister Alyssa is 27 and likes to play mother a lot...she and Sadie did not get along till during/after
Sadie's rehabilitation. Sadie's elder brother Mark is 24 and has already
taken matters regarding Sadie
and her boyfriend into his own hands, threatening
Neal personally with violence if he continues to harass and mess with his
sister. Neal isn't intimidated, and Sadie wishes he wouldnt interfere. Often
it makes things worse, and she doesn't tell her brother everything that
goes on. Sadie's younger siblings are eighteen year old Georgia, who is
also involved with dodgy people, and fifteen year old James, who intends
on going into the army like his father as soon as he;s old enough, in order
to 'escape' his family. All in all Alyssa is the only member of her family
Sadie has real faith in. She and Georgia dont get along, for Georgia has
always resented her big sister.
Sadie smokes, despite the fact that she is also
an asthmatic. She is a former member of the gang Amber of Teenangels also
belonged to, as is her younger sister Georgia. Reluctant to admit to her
past misdemeanours, Sadie is often afraid of the truth leaking out and
her new bandmates often suspect she is holding things back. She rarely
talks about her past in England and can be decidedly obstinate and pessimistic
when things don't go to plan. However, deep beneath her lack of self confidence
is a sunny temperament and all in all the remaining members of Jewel can't
help liking her, despite her eccentricities. Her haphazard childhood
and background has meant that her insecurity runs deep, and she is still
very suspicious of law enforcement and the opposite sex. Surprisingly, however,
it is Sadie who is the only Jewel who seems at all able to breach the growing
rift between Jewel and Diablo, and solve the problem of Stefana's hatred.
Sadie the doll was made from a Clash, and rerooted
with white, light pink and dark pink hair. Several My Little Pony tails and
a RC jem or two were harmed in the making of this doll :-p. Her outfit was
made by me and her guitar was stolen from another doll line, though off the
top of my head I can't remember which. Makes a good bass guitar - though
it's not quite the pink one from the story ;)
