Home: Has mostly been touring the last year or so but has a very nice apartment in Tampa that she shares with her sister. Finance: Very comfortably off. History: Saffron is the younger of twin sisters born to a very well-off couple with politic and social connections up the wazoo. She and Sage, while very different in a lot of ways, have always been close and even though they went to different colleges they made sure they were within easy travelling distance of each other, talking on the phone most days. Saffron only ever really viewed college as a life experience and only attended because it Was Expected. She sees no reason to fight with the folks - they’re good enough people if far too concerned about what people will think for Saffron’s liking. She took music because she loved it and geology as a minor because she’d gone on a couple of school trips to cave formations when she was a kid and she thought they were wicked cool. She joined a band in her final year and much to her parents’ chagrin stayed with said band even after graduation, doing some very small scale touring before breaking up while doing some support gigs in Washington state. Saffron opted to stay there for a bit - the music scene there was interesting, and she did some session musician work - before moving to New York for a while and doing a little more session work, plus some writing that still earns her the occasional decent-sized royalty check. Not thousands but a little. She moved back to Tampa on Thanksgiving Day 2006, pretty much just in time for everything to get interesting the following year and she was around long enough that Gimli found his way to her and she developed a distaste for her sister‘s boyfriend, who she‘d previously gotten along great with. She’d already joined a new band by then and walked out when she realised her bandmates were mostly interested in talking about ‘the music, man’ than actually writing and performing. Band three soon followed and small-scale took off - they had a couple of albums, the first more a demo than anything else and the second missing the album chart by only five places before quietly disappearing. In late summer 2007 she went on a five-month support tour for a much bigger artist, spending only a little time back in Florida to record songs they’d written while away and then wander off again on a much smaller-scale promo tour of their own. They took a break when that was over before going off to do more support work and Saffron, who’s fairly live and let live, realised that somewhere along the way the guy on lead guitar had started to mess with recreational drugs. It was no big problem and not often so she let it go but by the end of 2008 he was getting stupid with it and, just like that, she quit the band and came home. She’s currently doing a lot of volunteer work, thanks to the joys of having money in the family. She’s also still doing the odd bit of session musician work here and there.
