Who are the Sagittarius? (Tali, Sydney K, Eliza)
300
This hot coffee drinker never actually finishes her cup. She likes her hot dog dappled - the lightest of cook preferences on the B&B team. She startles easily, which may or may not be related to her deep mistrust of birds. Nevertheless, she can be quoted saying, "go birds!"

This girlie pop has an aura that's blue/purple or maybe orange or it also could be yellow! She's in her thespian era and has her own jewelry business but don't ask her to ride bikes. It's also not out of the realm of possibility for her to be visited by the tooth fairy still!
