Sadie Braaten is a maid working for the Whitt family.

Appearance

She wears a maids outfit with an ankle length dress<ref>Avery could see a woman standing by the side door, wearing what Avery realized was a maid uniform; the dress was ankle length with frilly bits beneath, glasses, a frilly collar with ribbon, and she wore a black coat that looked like it had been tailored.- Excerpt from Crossed with Silver 19.14</ref> over which she has a stiff apron with tools in it.<ref>She’d stepped off to one side, to talk to a maid that looked about sixteen, who was wearing a slightly more rugged version of the maid outfit, frill-less, complete with a stiff apron with tools in the front and work gloves. Same general outline, though.- Excerpt from Crossed with Silver 19.14</ref>

Abilities

She is eternally young and prevented from ageing. This makes it hard to fit into the normal world, people become uncomfortable and it's hard to get ID. As a result it becomes almost impossible to leave the family's service.<ref>“One of the hooks is youth. Alchemy that keeps them young, but there’s an effect. Someone like Sadie’s mother, who is in her forties but looks twenty, the world starts to push back. More true for people like Sadie’s grandmother, who is seventy but looks thirty.”

“Like with Aware,” Avery said, glancing at her mother. “Or more problematic Aware.”

“People get uncomfortable, it gets hard to find other work. ID stops lining up with the details as they seem. They can’t leave. They get promoted, brought further into the family interior, working with more important members of the family. Sometimes unkind ones. Ones that would drive a servant to leave, if the servant could.”- Excerpt from Crossed with Silver 19.14</ref>

Chronology

The Whitt family makes offers to people to help them get the man or women they're romantically interested in, in return they're made to work for them as servants.<ref>“Servants are drawn in with promises. Little favors. Sometimes it’s love,” Fernanda said. “A simple but decent boy from a small town is offered a job as a servant, gets told that if he’ll work for our family, someone will tell him when and where to go talk to the girl he’s admired from afar. Right place, right time, no practice. Only a few Whitts keeping an eye out, watching someone’s heart to see where they stand. If he does as we say, he’ll find her in a position to have her heart stolen, to be stolen away from a cruel father, a distant husband, a frustrating circumstance. The job is easy, he gets paid okay, he and she get a cabin to hide away from the world in, on the outskirts of a Whitt property. Good food, nice clothes, gifts when a child is born.”- Excerpt from Crossed with Silver 19.14</ref> Their children and grandchildren also become servants. In Sadie case she is a third generation maid.<ref>The children become servants too. And the children’s children. When a third-generation servant like Sadie decides she wants to leave, she gets told no.- Excerpt from Crossed with Silver 19.14</ref>

She's suppose to be keeping an eye on Fernanda, Raquel and other members of the Whitt and Fulton family but is secretly working with them to cover up their plans.<ref>“Which is why and how we’re here, meeting,” Fernanda said, very seriously. “Sadie is a triple-crosser. A rebel first, told to keep an eye on us for her mother’s sake, but she passes them a filtered story. If we get caught, we’re wide-eyed and guileless little idiots, playing our games in the background to try to get a little bit more power, or better husbands.”- Excerpt from Crossed with Silver 19.14</ref> Helping them cover up thier meeting with Avery.
