Job ||
She does occasional babysitting for her cousins’ family in Salem, but she doesn’t have an official job yet.
Reputation ||
Not much aside from odd quiet girl – those who know Parker often know of her, to.
Friends ||
Parker Garcia has been her best friend since childhood, and they are neighbors. When she got accepted here, part of the reason she agreed to go was because of Parker going as well. She tends to follow him around like a lost puppy most of the time, and really admires his outgoing and friendly nature. Though they are best friends, sometimes she feels intimidated by the sheer amount of people he knows.
Aside from Parker, Savannah doesn’t know many other people, but would like to break out of her shell a little more. She met Elliot in the library one time when they both needed the last copy of a book for a project. She was intimidated by him at first, because he was so quiet and smart-seeming, but then when she was struggling with the project after he finished he assisted her. After that, she’s grown to see him in a positive light though she still doesn’t know him much. She always smiles when she sees him and waves. Out of curiosity she’s done more research on him and when she found out that he skipped ahead to get to college due to academic excellence, she was impressed. She also knows Aiden DeCosta through an English project last semester.

Family ||
Adeladia Nieto – Grandmother – 76 – Retired Coming to Metric was a good thing, but for Savannah one of the hardest things to do was leave her grandmother behind a few hours away. Savannah always saw her grandmother all the time and she knew Parker well – often trying to convince her granddaughter that someday, she’d fall in love with the boy – and despite her nosiness, Savannah really likes and respects her grandmother and every time she goes home, she’ll visit her to see how she’s doing. It’s because of her grandmother’s recipes that she started to bake, and her grandmother has always been nothing but encouraging.
Alberto Nieto – Father – 44 – Bank Teller || Jeff was always the more serious out of Rosemary’s kids. Jeff graduated from Harvard with an accounting degree and, a few years later, he got a well-paying job as a very wealthy bank in California. Because of this money he made, he was able to provide for his wife and daughter. When Savannah developed a passion for baking she was encouraged to go to Metric for it, and her father pays her way through the school. While Savannah loves her father he’s very cold and drinks often – never getting to the point of abusing his family – but it does make Savannah uncomfortable.
Clarisa Nieto – Mother – 44 – Housekeeper || Savannah’s mother has been through a lot in her life. From the time Savannah was about 9, she was told about her mother’s background. She was kidnapped as a child and forced to be a prostitute by the man who captured her. When Clarisa was 16, she ran away from that man and took dictation over her own body, until she was drugged at a bar one night and the man left her violated. Clarisa became a stripper and that was how she met Jeff – a patron at the time. They fell in love and got married, but even despite this, Clarisa doesn’t like men very much and always seems put off when first meeting them. Clarisa warns her daughter every day about the dangerous of men and it’s because of her that Savannah is slightly hesitant when around men, especially older men and when she’s alone.
Kathryn and Ciriaco Nieto – Cousins – 27 and 27 – Real Estate Brokers || Ciriaco is her father’s brother, and Kathryn is his wife. Ciriaco’s parents and Savannah’s parent get alone well, though Savannah’s grandparent tends to favor Jerome’s side of the family more for some reason Savannah doesn’t really know. Savannah has always gotten on well with them and when they found out she was coming to Metric, they asked her if she was willing to babysit for their son for some cash. Eager to have some spending money, Savannah accepted, and typically every day after classes she’ll walk down to Kyle’s school and walk him home, and look after him until his parents get home around 5 or 6. Sometimes, she’ll be invited for dinner, but sometimes Savannah has plans so she’ll refuse. She likes her cousins a lot, though honestly she views them more like an aunt and uncle.
Kyle Nieto – Second Cousin – 6 ½ Kyle is the little boy in Salem who Savannah has the pleasure of babysitting. Ever since she came to Salem, her cousins offered her money to look after Kyle when they’re busy. Often Savannah can be seen taking her little second cousin around town. Sometimes, she feels threatened when she takes him to the park and because they look so much alike, she’s pegged as a teenage mother. But, all in all, she does really like Kyle. He’s a loud and rambunctious kid – who can be obnoxious at times – but he really looks up to her and wants to be a baker someday just like she is. For the kid’s sake, they refer to her and Kyle as cousins, even though technically it’s his parents she’s cousins with.

Backstory ||
Savannah’s grandmother had two sons – Alberto and Alejandro. Albert was the smart, favorite son and Alejandro was never academically gifted. Even when Ciriaco was born, Adeladia’s favoritism didn’t change. She was judgmental and it showed very much in the way she treated her family.
Savannah was born years later, after Ciricaco was older and graduating High School. Savannah was raised by her father and mother, and always loved and respected her grandmother. Unlike with Alejandro’s family, Savannah was doted on a lot and spoiled. Her cousins lived out in Salem while Savannah and her parents lived in the same city that Adeladia lived in to help her get around and see her all the time.
When Savannah was about 6 years old, she met a boy in first grade who attended the same school she did and got off the bus at the same time she did. He was very nice and friendly and it turned out they were neighbors – and they wound up walking to and from the bus stop together. Parker became Savannah’s best friend and the two always hung around together. When she was given an easy-bake oven that Christmas, Savannah always cooked food for her friend to try and never really used it without him. But her love of using the easy-bake oven helped trigger something else in her – an interest that peeked when she started to make cookies with her grandmother.
The more years passed, the more natural Savannah’s talent for baking became. She began to deviate from recipes that she got from boxes and put her own spin on food, always to show off her skill at designing food. She wound up cooking meals for her family when she got older but she much preferred to make desserts and puddings, often sharing them with her family and Parker’s family as well. As she got older she realized that her natural talent at baking was something she wanted to hone in on and improve. She found out that Parker was going to a school for the arts, Metric Academy, and she applied too. To her happiness, she was accepted into the culinary arts program and enrolled in the Academy the same year as Parker.
She follows Parker around a little bit now, unsure of how to really break out of her shell. She likes being around him because he makes her feel more secure in who she is and also she’s not as nervous around him as she is around others. She is trying to make more friends, however, and hopes to maybe find more friends in her major of study. She looks forward to those older than her in her field and enjoys group projects, because that means she gets to hear baking and cooking tricks from other people and she feels that those cooking projects, unlike English or History projects, actually help her.
When she came to Salem, her cousins asked her if she was interested in babysitting. Savannah agreed and makes money doing that to spend on supplies she needs and quick little things that she needs. Meanwhile she also gets to grow closer to her family as well as her second-cousin, Kyle, who is just entering first grade himself. He really likes her and, sometimes, Savannah will let him come to her dorm and will show him how to bake cookies and simple things with her. He looks a lot like her, close enough to be her brother or child, and for that some people have given her nosy glares while she’s out in public with him. Savannah tries not to pay it much mind but it makes her very uncomfortable.

Notes ||
- Savannah really likes floral designs on her pastries and cakes. Most everything she makes has flowers and nature on them – whether it’s designs imprinted in cookies or done up with frosting, there’s always flowers and nature present.
- Savannah specifically requested to be housemates with Parker, because otherwise, she’d be too scared to live on her own this far away from home. The kitchen in her house is packed with her ingredients for baking things and she’s almost always in the kitchen. While cooking, Savannah tends to hum.
- The song lyrics are from Flashlight by Jessie J
