Additional Info: Sawyer has prosthetics for legs. One goes up to just under her hip, and the other goes just below her knee. She has two different pairs, one being for everyday, normal activities, while the other one is a pair of running blades. She is occasionally seen in a wheelchair but she hates it and will fuss and complain the whole time she’s in one. Sometimes she will even use crutches, only using one of the prosthetics if only one of her legs is sore.  If she’s wearing the everyday pair, she usually has a pair of long socks to cover more of her legs, since she hates the look of them and doesn’t like people pitying her.

Character: Sawyer is a very loving but childish person. She has a good sense of humor and is quite sarcastic when she wants to be. She is usually very happy and cheerful, being one of the people that can light of the room when she walks-or more like bounds-in. She has a hyper personality  that some people can claim are fake, even though she usually is very honest with everything. She enjoys running, and is usually in her running clothes if she isn’t in school. She does enjoy other things then running, like dancing and playing a few sports that she can, and she wishes she could swim as well, but hasn’t been able to find a way to do that without almost drowning her self. She acts like she is friends with everyone but it is very rare for her to actually get close to anyone. Though she smiles and claims she has a lot of friends, she really only has a close few she claims to be actual ‘friends’ with.

History: For a long while, Sawyer was a very normal girl. She had a good life and was happy with her family, which consisted of her mother, Emiline, father, Jackson, and her two older twin brothers, August-the youngest, and Felix-the oldest. She was always seen as the ‘baby’ by her mother and brothers, but her father never let that stand in the way. He was always very athletic and so were her brothers, so once she could walk he was pushing her to do athletics with them. And she did really enjoy it. She loved running with her family and playing all the other sports they did. She would play football with her brothers for an hour before being rushed off to dance class, still smeared with the dirt from earlier. Though her mother wished she wasn’t as tomboyish as she was, she dealt with it since they were all so happy.

    Of course all good thing must come to an end. When she was 8, her father, her brothers, and her were all driving home from a football game. She was in the back with her oldest brother, while the other twin was up front with their dad. Being sleepy, she had dozed off against her brother, not thinking anything of it. But she woke up to a horrible fright.

A driver had cut in front of their car and smashed into the front of it. She was jostled and thrown around with Felix, who was trying to hold her as close as he could to keep her safe. The car was flipped and the windows were shattered open. She blacked out at this point from fear.

    She woke up in the hospital a few days later, her mother at her side and Felix in the hospital bed on the opposite side of her mother. She had been crying, which was obvious, and her brother was trying to console her as best they could.

    Eventually It was learned that the car accident had killed her father and her oldest brother. It had also crushed her legs, forcing them to both be amputated to some extent, one only to the knee and the other all the way up to her hip.  Sawyer was devastated about the loss and cried for days. She was forced to stay bedridden for weeks, which made her restless and fussy.

    She changed. She would scream and cry constantly to get out of the room and when she was finally put into physical therapy, she had so much fight in her she learned a bit faster than an average 8 year old would learn to. At first they just taught her how to walk, but after her constant crying and wailing they got her fitted for a pair of running blades that she then started to learn on. She would constantly be on them, running and bolting everywhere and learning at a speed faster then most.

    But since she was learning so fast, her legs weren’t able to heal the same amount of time as they would have for other people. Her legs got, and still do get, sores easily.
