Having read nearly every series with Sage as a major character (currently unsure if I'll finish New Exiles and working through Krakoan Wolverine) it really strikes me as kind of sad that her relationships to other characters have never persisted past the series they appear in. Storm was very important to her in the early part of X-Treme X-Men, and I don't think they've really interacted much since. Bishop and her were like detective partners and they don't interact. Both Wolverine and Rachel Summers were on the team with her in Uncanny, and it doesn't come up again later when they're in X-Force. She had great interactions with both Omega Red and Domino during Krakoa that probably won't really get expanded on. Her animosity to Pete Wisdom was a huge part of her character in New Excalibur but it's never going to come up again.

Her rivalry with Emma is probably the closest thing to a recurring character interaction she has. Her past with Sebastian Shaw didn't even come up when she was dealing with him on the Quiet Council.

One of the best things about comics is characters having relationships that develop across years of stories, and I'm kind of bummed my favorite character doesn't really get that.

I've noticed this too. She has a network of existing relationships, but they often get ignored. This probably works against her becoming more prominent - just imagine how much more popular she'd get if Storm or Wolverine gave her a call every once in a while.

Similarly, I know that her relationship with Forge, so nuanced and dear to my heart, will never be acknowledged again.

It makes me sad.

It's Sage appreciation day. I'm so happy my favorite niche character has enough of a following that something like this exists.

Teresia Karisik is one of the strongest women in the Marvel universe, and that's a competitive category. The world has given her every excuse to be a villain but she remains committed to the side of good, whether it be keeping Xavier's dream alive even when she didn't trust Xavier himself in X-Treme X-Men or being the moral compass of X-Force. She's often underappreciated by her allies but continues fighting for them all of the same.

My local community kind of exploded in the past few weeks, so I haven't been able to make a fic to mark the occasion, but here are some previous ones I already had about our favorite computer girl.

My still in progress fic about rewriting Tessa's time in the Hellfire Club, loosely inspired by the Handmaiden: The Heart of Hellfire. I do want to give a content warning for domestic violence for this one, Sebastian Shaw is an evil man.

A quick little one shot I threw together one night about her coping with her trauma during the Krakoa era: Drinks and Tears in Paradise

There's some other stuff with her on my AO3 profile too, both SFW and some NSFW, so be warned if you want to avoid that.

It's Sage Day ❤️

Happy Sage Appreciation Day!

Life is kicking me in the behind at the moment so I didn't have time to finish the fic I wanted to contribute, but I'm here in spirit. This girl is everything 🥰

I'll keep an eye on the tag and share/engage. Feel free to tag me, too.

Let the Tessa gushing commence!

[vibrantstarfire]

ugh we need more manipulative characters that aren’t evil. lie and cheat and steal for a good cause. control every narrative. use narcissism for justice. ruin all of your personal relationships for the good of the mission.

Hello, X-Force 7 Forge

[soviet-supersoldier]

Exactly one month to go for Sage Appreciation Day!!! Teresia Karisik is one of Marvel's best characters and a real hidden gem that deserves so much love. If you are a fan, please consider doing a little something to celebrate her on the anniversary of her first appearance in Marvel Comics. I am excited to see what everyone comes up with!!!
