An up-and-coming modeling sensation, Sandy is best known as Mike's long-distance lover, and the unwitting source of the main conflict of the story... that being the fate of Mike and Lucy's relationship. She's an otherwise normal girl despite the glitz and glamour, and like any other teen, struggles with balancing school, work, and romance.

Appearance
Sandy is a white cat with long, wavy black hair. She has dark eyes with curly lashes.
In the third grade, she often wore a simple necklace and kept her hair in a ponytail tied with a blue ribbon. In modern appearances, she is fully clothed and almost never seen wearing the same outfit, likely a quirk stemming from her career.
