## Biography

### Early life

Born on March 17th, 1997 in California, Sadie Kane is the second child of Julius and Ruby Kane, with Carter being their first child born two years prior.

During her sixth birthday party, Sadie and Carter got into an argument over blowing the birthday candles, which led to them accidentally causing the birthday cake to explode through their respective powers being triggered.

### Death of mother

Sometime following her birth, her mother died while she was extremely young, when she and Julius freed Bast from her prison through Cleopatra's Needle, unbeknownst to Sadie and Carter, and after a long-lasting legal feud with her farther, Mr. and Ms. Faust, her grandparents on her mother's side, took full custody of her, and soon after she began living in England, separated from Carter and Julius.

## History

### *The Red Pyramid*

Six years after her mother's death, Carter and their father visit Sadie on Christmas Eve at the British Museum where unexpected events unfold. Julius accidentally summons the Egyptian Gods Set, Nephthys, Isis, and Horus while attempting to summon Osiris.

Sadie becomes a host for Isis, her brother for Horus, and Julius is kidnapped by Set, who is now possessed by Osiris. Amos Kane, their uncle, intervenes and takes Sadie and Carter to Brooklyn, revealing their magical lineage. They flee to the First Nome with the help of Bast and Zia Rashid, where Sadie has a vision of Set tricking Osiris. Their training is halted when they learn of Desjardins' plan to execute them.

The two escape to Paris, reuniting with Bast and meeting Anubis. After receiving the Feather of Truth from Anubis, Sadie and Carter unite with Amos and Zia to stop Set. In the final battle, Sadie acts as one with Isis and forces Set to swear to fight Apophis. She asks Isis to leave her body and returns to Brooklyn with her brother and uncle.

### *The Throne of Fire*

In their quest to revive Ra, Carter and Sadie face challenges, including stealing scrolls, encountering complex feelings, walking into traps set by gods, battling enemies, and rescuing loved ones. Along the way, they discover shocking truths about their friends and must make tough choices. Despite the hardships, they manage to awaken Ra, but realize they have lost the battle as Apophis is unleashed. With the help of allies and sacrifices, they confront their ultimate enemy and ultimately succeed in saving the day. However, they are left with emotional conflicts and uncertainties about the future.

### *The Serpent's Shadow*

In Texas, Sadie, Carter, and their fellow initiates are attempting to steal the book that holds the key to defeating Apophis. During their mission, Apophis appears at the museum, and Sadie uses her power of Ma'at to restore order. After passing out, Sadie wakes up to find Isis and her mother present. Anubis appears and informs Sadie about sheuts and how they may help defeat Apophis. This prompts Sadie to come up with a plan involving Bes' sheut. Anubis dances with Sadie at her school dance but is interrupted by Shu who bans Anubis from seeing Sadie again.

Meanwhile, Carter and Zia set out to find Apophis' sheut, and Sadie sets out with Walt to find Bes' sheut. Throughout their journey, Sadie and Walt grow closer, and Walt hints at his impending death. Sadie and Walt share a kiss and eventually find Bes' sheut. Sadie defeats the goddess Neith and realizes that Walt is following the Path of Anubis. Anubis arrives and asks Walt to join them in their plan due to his nearing death. Walt agrees and sacrifices himself to bind Bes' sheut, teaching Sadie the spell to do the same to Apophis. Anubis comforts Sadie as Walt dies, and Walt later comes back to life with the help of Anubis, who has merged with him. Sadie goes through a portal to save Carter and Zia from Setne and successfully captures Apophis' sheut. They are then saved by an army of gods and transported to Ra's boat. Ra takes Zia as a host, and Sadie returns to the First Nome with Isis inside her and Carter with Horus.

They join the battle against the rebel magicians, and Sadie is protected by Walt/Anubis. They defeat Sarah and Kwai, and Sadie uses Ma'at to prevent the Hall of Ages from collapsing. The rebels switch sides, and Carter becomes Pharaoh. Finally, Sadie, drawing on the power of Isis, casts the execration spell to destroy Apophis. The other gods leave Earth, and Sadie visits the Land of the Dead with Carter to speak to her deceased mother. She learns that she can love both Walt and Anubis and decides to start a relationship with both of them. They dance together on the rooftop of Brooklyn House.

## Physical appearance

Sadie is described as looking a lot like her mother and very little like her brother and father. She has fairer skin than both her brother and father, deep blue eyes, a mischievous, lopsided smile, and a caramel blonde hair that she usually puts bright colored streaks in. She is the same height as Carter. She always wears her combat boots, tattered jeans, and ear-buds. Sadie also typically wears a *tyet* amulet that she received from her father. Later, Isis leaves some of her essences in it and Sadie removes it to avoid using the power in it. She also wears the *shen* amulet that she received from Walt.

## Personality

Sadie Kane is sarcastic, rebellious, mischievous, whip-smart, head-strong, and often baffles people with her sharp tongue and fierce nature. She's not afraid of breaking rules. She likes to tease her older brother, Carter, and often scoffs at her friends Liz and Emma for being boy-crazy, despite being somewhat "boy-crazy" herself. Sadie is also a fan of Adele. Sadie is strong-minded and stubborn as much as she is caring and kind. Despite her aloof air, she loves her parents very much and wishes she had more time with them. She is also affectionate towards her cat, her friends, and her brother, even though she often calls him names. She likes chewing gum, something that helps her concentrate. She also has a crush on Anubis, the god of funerals.

She displays affection for Walt, a magician who's dying of a curse leaving her confused as both guys like her back but there are issues about her being with either. Her feelings also confuse her as both kiss her and she can't decide which she likes better. Walt becomes Anubis' first host, giving them a chance to both be with her without issues. This leaves her confused, but with the help of Carter and her mother, she realizes the opportunity this gives her and starts a relationship with *both* Walt and Anubis as they now share one body. She can also be a caring person, as she was often visiting Bes when he was in the nursing home, going as far to go on a mission to recover the *sheut* of Bes, so he could once again be the person he was; this also proves that Sadie can be determined if she wants to, especially if it is for a friend.

## Relationships

### Love interests

* Anubis
* Walt Stone

Sadie and Anubis first meet in *The Red Pyramid*, when her ba visited Horus’s birthday, confused as to how hot he was. She met him again when her ba visited Nut and he tried to speak to her.

Sadie finally met him formally in Duat when visiting The Land of the Dead with Carter Kane and Bast. Anubis is a bit flirtatious to Sadie and refuses to help her at first, but they started talking and she learned about his childhood, with being the son of Set and Nephthys, and being in Horus's shadow. Anubis is also confused when he finds out that Sadie isn't married, and Sadie tells him to get up to speed on modern courtship. He also comments on her sharp tongue. Anubis agrees to give her the feather of truth after asking her three questions, then tells her that she should put him up to speed on modern courtship rituals, hinting that the god is attracted to her.

In *The Throne of Fire*, Sadie and Anubis meet again in London, and Anubis decides to help her, and gave her information about the second book of Ra and gave her a Netjeri blade. Anubis then apologizes that he cannot give her anything more and wishes her a happy birthday, kissing her. Sadie is shocked and is over the moon at the kiss, and Liz and Emma were happy for her at the kiss, asking if he was her boyfriend. At the end of the book, Sadie laments about choosing between him and Walt Stone, since she likes both of them. Sadie also has a picture of Anubis in her room.

In *The Serpent's Shadow*, Sadie hadn't seen Anubis for six months. Anubis finally shows up at the school dance at Brooklyn Academy of the Gifted, and they dance together, with Anubis's hand around her waist. Anubis and Sadie discuss capturing Apophis's sheut, and Anubis almost tells her about her mother’s whereabouts when Shu shows up, telling Anubis that he is banned from seeing Sadie. Sadie is outraged by this, telling Shu that he is 5,000 years old and can do what he wants, but Shu says that a god cannot date a mortal, and that he must stay away.

Eventually, Anubis shows up at the palace of Neith and holds Sadie as Walt captured Bes's shadow, while Sadie cried. Walt died, but was resurrected when he merged with Anubis into one being. Sadie was horrified when she found out, but Carter told her that she shouldn't be upset and that two of the guys she liked were one guy now. Anubis/Walt later defended her against Kwai and Sarah Jacobi, saying that they spoke with one voice, and that no one harms Sadie. Later, when Sadie said the spell, Ma'at, Sadie collapsed, and Anubis/Walt held her. Sadie could see Anubis through the Duat and realized she didn’t have to choose Anubis or Walt anymore.

That night, Sadie met with Anubis/Walt at Brooklyn House and she was mad that she didn't know they were merging sooner, but he told her that he tried, many times. Sadie agrees to date him, and they dance the way her and Anubis did on the deck. Sadie asked Anubis if Shu was going to bother them, and Anubis said that he wasn't.

Walt and Sadie met when Walt went to Brooklyn House in January from Seattle. Sadie was immediately attracted to Walt and had a huge crush on him, which Carter teased her about. Sadie was even jealous of Jasmine Anderson because she thought that they liked each other.

In *The Throne of Fire*, Walt immediately went to London to save Sadie after he found out that she was in danger and being attacked by Nekhbet and Babi, but was relieved when he found that she was okay. Walt became very jealous, however, when Sadie told him about her talk with Anubis and the Netjeri blade, and Walt became very quiet after that, making the two tense. However, when Bes told Walt to leave, Sadie didn't want him to leave, defending him, but was very passive aggressive to him about Jaz, telling him that he should go back and care for her. The tension between them ended when Walt gave her a birthday present: A necklace, a symbol for eternity, to give her luck. Walt then told her that he didn’t want to leave.

Later, they went to a temple to look for the third book of Ra, on camelback. Sadie was very passive aggressive and kept hinting that she wanted Walt to tell her what his big secret was. As they were walking, Walt finally told Sadie about his curse, and about how Sadie made his life better, and that he wanted to spend as much time he could with Sadie before his time came. Sadie was very upset when she found out about his curse, but Walt reassured her that he could control it. Walt later kissed her. The next day, Sadie, Walt, Carter, Bes, and Zia were at a hotel in Cairo and Walt decided to go defend Brooklyn House, and Sadie told him not to, not in his current state. Walt was very upset when Sadie alluded to his secret which he told her in confidence.

After the Battle for Brooklyn house, Walt stopped to talk to Sadie in her bedroom, and when Sadie said he needed a supervisor to talk to someone alone in a room, Walt flirtatiously asked her to supervise him. The two talked, and Walt said that he was glad that he met her, making Sadie cry, lamenting to him about how he couldn't cure him or save Bes or Ra. Walt reassured her, telling her none of it was her fault, and respecting her enough not to put an arm around her. Walt then told her to send out another tape, because she was impossible to ignore. The two almost kissed, but they both hesitated.

In *The Serpent's Shadow*, Sadie and Walt have been dancing around the possibility of a relationship for months, occasionally confiding in each other and kissing, but Walt hesitating, not wanting to hurt her due to his curse. Walt is in severe pain every day now, and Sadie hated to see him suffer. Sadie badly wanted Walt to come with her to the school dance at Brooklyn Academy of the Gifted, but he couldn’t, due to the pain.

The next day, Walt and Sadie went to Sais to capture Bes's shadow, and the two kissed multiple times, and confided in each other, running from Neith. Sadie cried to Walt about his curse, but Walt reassured her that it was okay. At sunset, Anubis showed up, and Walt collapsed as Sadie cried. Walt captured Bes's shadow, and Sadie sobbed as he died, but Walt was resurrected and Sadie was beyond relieved. However, Sadie was horrified when she realized that Walt and Anubis merged into one person, and Sadie ran away in fear. Sadie lamented to Carter about her situation, but Carter told her that she should feel relieved that she can have both of the guys she liked.

At the First Nome, Anubis/Walt defended Sadie against Sarah Jacobi and Kwai, and told them that Walt and Anubis speak with one voice, and that no one harms Sadie. Later, when Sadie summons Ma'at, Sadie collapses into Anubis/Walt's arms, and can see Walt in the mortal world, and realized she didn’t have to choose Walt or Anubis anymore.

That night, Sadie and Anubis/Walt met at Brooklyn House, and was angry at him for not telling her about merging bodies, but he tells Sadie that he tried to tell her multiple times. Walt reassured her that he is still Walt, and that Anubis can live a normal life now that they are merged. Sadie decides to date him, and doesn’t look into the Duat to see Anubis because they are both a new guy now, who Sadie likes very much.
### Family

* Julius Kane
* Ruby Kane
* Carter Kane
* Amos Kane
* Grandparents

Julius is Sadie's father. The two were very close when Sadie was young, but when Sadie could only see him twice a year, Sadie felt lonely and wished she could see him more, going to the Egyptian wing of the British Museum to feel closer to him. They also called frequently on the phone.

In *The Red Pyramid*, Sadie saw her father on Christmas Eve and he took her and Carter to see the Rosetta Stone at the British Museum, but he fell into the ground in a sarcophagus after releasing Osiris, Horus, Isis, Set, and Nephthys. Sadie later had a vision of her father in the pyramid, telling her that she must destroy the pyramid and lose him to save everyone. Sadie wishes she didn't have to do it and finally told him that she hated him for mom dying and leaving her alone. Her father told her that she had the right to feel that way. He told her he was proud of her before leaving. She later saw him after he merged with Osiris.

In *The Throne of Fire*, Sadie and Carter saw Julius with Bes and he gave her a birthday dinner. Julius wished her a happy birthday and told her that he was proud of her no matter what, even if the world ended.

In *The Serpent's Shadow*, Julius was shown to be stern with Sadie after she ran to talk to him during a trial, when she wanted Setne to help them, and when she called Ammit the Devourer "Poochiekins". However, he ultimately trusted her judgment.

## Powers & Abilites

* Magic
* Path of Isis Abilities
* Eye of Isis Abilities

* **Hieroglyph Understanding**: Sadie has an innate ability to understand hieroglyphs, rendering her capable of performing complex hieroglyphic spells such as the banishing spell from the *Book of Overcoming Set*. Sadie first displayed this ability in the British Museum when her father was summoning Osiris and she was able to read what he wrote on the Rosetta Stone.
* **Portal Summoning**: Sadie wasn't able to summon a portal until when she, Carter, and Bast were running after stealing a book from Desjardins in Paris. However, during the rest of the events in *The Red Pyramid* and after the three-month gap between the two books, she has become adept at it. Sadie herself admitted this before leaving Brooklyn House to celebrate her birthday with her friends and grandparents.
* **Animal Charming**: After Isis left Sadie, she wasn't able to use any Divine Words and had to adopt a new way of fighting. In *The Throne of Fire*, it is shown that Sadie used animal charming to fight and was able to turn her staff into a variety of creatures, but mostly lions and tigers. During the battle with Menshikov, Sadie changed her staff into a predator kite, around the size of a pterodactyl. It was strong enough to rip through demons and pulverize them easily.
* **Hieroglyphic Spells**: Since Sadie can easily channel Isis, she doesn't use hieroglyphic spells and instead uses the Divine Words in combat. However, after giving up Isis, she was forced to use other resources to do magic. She still has an affinity in them, as Carter says she is better than him at casting hieroglyphic spells. Sadie can check for any present traps, and deactivate devices.
* **Kite Transformation**: Since she hosted Isis, Sadie has the ability to transform into a kite. She could stay morphed longer, although had greater difficulty transforming back. The first time, Bast helped her to transform back and the second time, she visualized having an ordinary afternoon with her parents and her human emotions. Even after releasing Isis, Sadie can still morph into a kite although prefers not to, due to her past experiences with the transformation. In *The Crown of Ptolemy*, Sadie is able to perform magic in this form to transform Hindenburg from an amulet to a camel in midair to crush Setne.
* **Forceful Transformation**: Although this skill was never shown, Sadie expressed the desire to turn Drew Tanaka and her friends into earthworms since they were annoying her. Later, during her talks with Leonid, the latter is shown to be afraid of her turning him into a banana slug. It can be assumed that Sadie can transform other people into worms or banana slugs. In *The Red Pyramid*, Sadie was able to reverse a forceful transformation on her brother Carter, who had gotten morphed into a lizard by Thoth's *shabti*magicians.
* **Duat Usage**: Unlike her brother, Sadie isn't proficient at opening a space in the Duat. She needs at least 5 to 10 minutes of focus, and even that effort makes her dizzy. She used the Duat when she was going to London for her birthday and didn't want to carry her magician kit with her. In *The Serpent's Shadow*, Sadie can summon objects from the Duat with less labor, although she still prefers not to use it. In *The Staff of Serapis* and *The Crown of Ptolemy*, Sadie is easily able to summon snacks from her personal storage area in the Duat, telling Annabeth Chase that summoning snacks from the Duat isn't hard magic.
* **Surveillance Magic**: With concentration, Sadie can lower her vision into the Duat. She saw Apophis' growing Chaos in the room, her brother as Horus, and her crush Walt as a skeleton "marked for death." This later changes after Walt becomes a host and Sadie sees him as Anubis in the Duat. By channeling the power of Isis, Sadie can see even more in the Duat and her senses are spread out.
* **Execration**: When working with her brother at least, Sadie is capable of casting an execration though for a god as powerful as Apophis, she also needs the boost of Isis and through Carter, Horus to successfully perform the spell. With the *sheut* of Bes, Sadie was able to cast a reverse execration to restore his *ren*.
* **Statuary Magic (Limited)**: Sadie has a limited proficiency in statuary magic, able to create *shabti* that she enchants to act as communication devices for herself as seen in *The Throne of Fire*.

- **Divine Words**: By tapping into the power of Isis, Sadie can speak Divine Words and this is one of her specialties in magic. By *The Serpent's Shadow*, Sadie can use the greatest number of Divine Words and has summoned the hieroglyph for Ma'at, which is the strongest spell in existence. Throughout the books, Sadie has used the following Divine Words: *Ma'at, Ha-di, Hah-ri, Hi-nehm, N'dah, W'peh, Sahad, Tas, Fah, Drowah, Heqat,* the glyph for fire, a command to bring figurines and *shabti* to life, and the Knot of Isis (*tyet*) symbol.

- **Elemental Magic**: Sadie first made use of this magic by summoning fire during her stay in the First Nome and can cast it by speaking the word of power for 'fire.' Later, Sadie used darkness in her duel with the *shabti* magicians created by Thoth. In *The Throne of Fire*, after channeling Isis' power by combining emotions with her, Sadie summoned golden light on the *tjesu heru*. Upon leaving the Duat and joining the Battle of Brooklyn House, Sadie knocked over some opponents with blasts of shimmering wind and multicolored light She also summoned the winds to save Zia in *The Red Pyramid* and has used air magic a lot. She used fire magic in *The Throne of Fire* when mummies corned her and Walt Stone. In *The Crown of Ptolemy*, Sadie was able to shoot blasts of powerful white fire from her staff and with a spell, cause the rain to not strike her group as a sort of magical umbrella.

- **Wings of Isis**: By channeling the power of Isis, Sadie can summon the wings of Isis like in the Battle of Brooklyn House. They increase the magnitude of Sadie's voice by ten times because they command attention. Sadie can also simultaneously perform elemental magic while using the wings of Isis, as she did in the Battle of Brooklyn House, although her spells shimmer and glow.

- **Isis Communication**: Even after releasing Isis, Sadie can still communicate with her. It started when Sadie and Carter were trying to bring Ra back, and Isis helped her to summon the *tyet* preceded by a brief exchange of words. However, they have many conversations during *The Serpent's Shadow*. She can also ask the goddess for help and advice, and talking with her is getting easier the better Sadie can channel her power.

- **Duat Travel**: After channeling the power of Isis through papyrus and ink, Sadie can take a short walk through the Duat. She doesn't display a lot of proficiency in this and uses portals to travel massive distances. After becoming the Eye of Isis for the second time, Sadie could travel through the Duat for a much longer stay than normal. In *The Staff of Serapis*, Sadie is able to fly through the Duat in kite form with no apparent effort and without requiring papyrus and ink as she did before.

Sadie is the former host of Isis. After deciding the power of the gods was too risky to use, Sadie gave up Isis until she understood magic better. Following Isis' departure from her body, Sadie lost the ability to speak Divine Words. However, by using Divine Magic, Sadie has regained most of her magical powers. These are the abilities Sadie could *only* do as the host of Isis:

* **Magic Sensory**: Sadie had the ability to sense what magic someone is going to do, as she predicted Zia would use the Seven Ribbons of Hathor. She hasn't shown the ability to do this without hosting Isis.
* **Advanced Portal Summoning**: When merged with Isis, Sadie showed Isis' ability to open a portal to anywhere from anywhere during the Demon Days to the point that she was able to transport the entire Red Pyramid to Washington, DC. She can also summon accurate portals to places even when Apophis is loose.

## Tools and Items

**Tools of a Magician**: Sadie possesses a toolkit including:

* A staff used as an offensive weapon.
* A wand used as a defensive weapon.

## Trivia

* Sadie is descended from the Egyptian Pharaohs Narmer and Ramases II.
* She often wears battered jeans, a leather jacket, and combat boots.
* Sadie is in love with Anubis, god of the dead, and an amulet magician, Walt Stone. In the third book *The Serpent's Shadow* Walt becomes Anubis's host and now Sadie doesn't need to chose between them.
