here have some Sadie Knox (my Courier Six) infodumping bc i am insane abt her rn
Sandra "Sadie" Knox / 5'2" / 34
Sandra Knox isn't her birth name, she got her first and last name separately from books she's read over the years.
Sadie is a scientist who worked as a courier and an overcharging con-artist repairman to save up caps to fund her research. She carries a notebook with her at all times, always scribbling down notes as it helps her think and process information.
Sadie is morally gray; a bit selfish and tunnel-visioned in her ways. Once Sadie has a goal, big or small, she’ll stop at nothing to achieve whatever it is. She has a unique way with words and can get you into trouble and out of it in the same sentence. This skill has saved her ass an insurmountable amount of times.
Due to her borderline extreme goal-contentedness, despite caring for those she loves and keeps close to her, she often comes off distant. Sadie has always had a rough time showing that she cares and her gestures can come off as awkward or forced. Her autism might be (is) partially to blame for this lol. Those willing to work past this awkwardness and allow her to adjust are rewarded with a ride or die friend for life.
She's got a reserve of pent-up rage. Though she can be quite irritable from minor conveniences [ex: she drops a pencil on the ground > emotional dysregulation from adhd rises > she's LIVID- ok she's fine now], she's not one to lash out at someone she loves. Her rage is kept internal and it weighs heavily on her shoulders.
Once speaking to Yes Man [before confronting Benny], she figures trying to get in on Benny's scheme is the opportunity she's been waiting for -- the prospect of a steady flow of caps excites her.
Oh and after her visit to BIG MT, she decides to help the Doctors by occasionally bringing them Mojave shit to research.
Sadie: look at the size of this legendary deathclaw hand. These things are large and terrifying, and despite the best efforts, nests continue to pop u--
Dr. Borous: the size of that hand....
Dr. Borous: it reminds me of my time in AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL, when RICHIE MARCUS took his HAND to my FACE and BEAT ME SENSELESS behind the school. the AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL--
Sadie: [patiently waiting bc she doesnt know when, or if, it is appropriate to intervene]

Hi hi, 👋🏽 can I ask question 4) and/ or 9) please ✨
HELLO!! Thanks for stopping by — I gotta answer both of these because they’re both so GOOD.
Oh she absolutely would, it’s not even a question! And her weapon of choice is defo Twitter. Amara would spend most of her nights staying up until 3am arguing with people. It doesn’t even have to be a cause she cares about, she just lives for the thrill of being a living nuisance.
Twitter is generally where everything funny and current is happening, so no doubt she’d want to be at the center of all of that.
She used to be a vague pseudo self insert WAY back when, albeit in Slytherin instead of Gryff. Bit by bit she morphed away from me, literally growing up into her own person and I find that charming. Really the only similarities we have today is we’re both brunette white woman lololol.
Teenage Mar has always taken a fistful of inspiration from Rue (Euphoria) with her jaded cynicism, aesthetic and apathetic approach to her own life. They’re even both lesbians, and I can’t rewatch the show without being reminded of the werewolf we love.
Additionally her worldview is very similar to Light Yagami (Death Note) which becomes more and more diabolical as she progresses into adulthood - go figure. She wants to bring about justice, but it goes too far, becoming the corrupt figure her teenage self would’ve loathed.
And if we’re speaking purely mechanical, as if she were an NPC — then she’s always been heavily inspired by Sans (Undertale). A boss tailormade to piss the player off and be nigh impossible at the start to serve as a final challenge.
