* Young Page

**Page** is one of the orphans taken in to work at the Garden in **Eternal City**. He is the first to arrive after your character.

## History

Page is the lone survivor of a plague that killed the rest of his family. Everyone else in the part of the squats (which was sealed off to prevent the disease from spreading any further) was affected by the plague but Page never got ill. When he got away, his mother is still alive. His reaction towards the dead Caretaker on the way out of the garden when he says that he has touched a dead body before hints at him having some memory of his family's death due to the plague.

After his family passes, he is brought to the Garden by Bezoar to help with tending and harvesting the produce. He later escapes with Cinder, Violet, Mudboy (determinant), and your character. Alongside your group, he scratches out a living in the City for some time, before being invited to join the Cagers and the Locksmen.

## Appearance

Page has pale skin, light blond hair, and brown eyes. As a child working in the gardens, he wore the rags provided to the laborers by the Caretakers.

## Personality

Page is intelligent, observant, and curious. In spite of this, he lacks confidence and practical know-how. He is a very sensitive person, often to the point of being unpractical. After your arrival in the City, Cinder begins to worry about Page's ability to live on the streets and suggests that you find his family or gain him a position with a guild.

Page is attached to your group of friends, asking you all to agree that you will stay together if you ever escape the Garden. It is this sense of loyalty that eventually convinces him to agree to join the Cagers, whom he fears and dislikes.

## Relationships

### **Your Character**

Page has known you since you were both very young. Depending on player choices, you either defended him from Violet's bullying or joined in teasing him. If you choose to spy on the Caretakers, he will join you and potentially wake you up so that you can watch an initiation. Later, you can encourage him to stay with you and your friends to join the Cagers or tell him he should leave to seek an apprenticeship with the Locksmen.

If he joins the Locksmen, he will appear when you read through the Locksmen's scrolls in Episode 8 and can help you become literate. If he joins the Cagers, he will be shortly mad that you spend so much time with the other Cagers, especially with the Night-Mother.

### **Violet**

Violet and Page initially do not get along, as she picks on him and makes fun of him. Later, they also argue because Page dislikes and insults Mudboy, whom Violet is attached to. As they get older, they largely learn to tolerate one another, but are still prone to bickering.

### **Mudboy**

Page dislikes Mudboy, likely due to conflicts in their personality. Where Page is quiet and intelligent, Mudboy is very physical and can't speak. Page occasionally criticizes and insults Mudboy for his perceived unintelligence. As Mudboy doesn't speak, it is difficult to know if he returns Page's dislike.
