i was reading both of there backstory and i was reading sables first and it had a lot of mikaela in it. but mikaela didn't mention sable once in her backstory. and in sables backstory says that they were friends since 3rd grade


the only thing that is mentioned in both stories is the moonstone coffee shop

    1. Because the hipster sells lots of outfits, so they decided to add more characters like her, her 'friend' wasn't originally planned.
    2. Lore wise I like to think Sable is one of those annoying people who latches onto someone and has a delusional close relationship with them when the other person barely knows they exist.

    its porbably one of these two and i would love if its number 2.

    the other likely reason is that bhvr simply does not plan that far ahead when making character lore and they dont 100% know what ips they can get in wich timeframe so they dont make the effort to write a char into anothers story that they may never use cause the either just dont find the time or it would conflict with some ip character

    Safe to say we'll find out when the tome comes out with Sable and Mikaela, and the 47th Mikaela outfit in a row.

    Definitely agree with all of this. Especially 1. They easily could've put Julien instead. But since he's a man and wouldn't sell well, they had to resort to their usual moneymaking model of it being a female character close to the aesthetics of mikaela. Don't blame them, but it's such a cop out because their lore suffers. But once again don't blame them for that because they are horrible with their follow up of lore like discontinuing the pariah storyline etc. Also with 2, they could easily resort to Sable being from a different universe where she knows her but our mikaela is from a separate one where they never met. But atp I already lost interest in the lore anyways

    Because there was a two and a half year gap between Mikaela and Sable releasing.

    They don't plan characters THAT far in advance.
