Saga Bergman

Saga Bergman is the first main character of the story. Her mother has died, but her father's fate is never clarified. She lives with her grandmother in a fictitious small German town called Mühlenburg in the anime; they live in Guttenburg in the manga. She works in a coffee shop and keeps to a strict schedule. In an attempt to get everything finished, she still tends to run late - her encyclopedic knowledge of shortcuts means that she still appears organized. She finds Sugar by accident and offers her a home, which Sugar accepts gratefully. Saga plays her mother's piano in the local music shop, because they had to sell it, and respects great pianists. She often has trouble trying to appear sane to her friends when talking to what seems like nothing (as fairies are invisible to other humans). When Sugar leaves Saga to return home, Saga loses the ability to see fairies- and it is implied that people go through the fairy phase when younger so that fairies can gain 'twinkles'.
