PERSONALITY
Wry | Adaptive | Independent | Passive | Low-energy


Not nearly as responsible as his big sister, Theia, Sawyer tends to operate as the second in command in the Carnahan household, with their father's leadership being sadly lacking. Less up tight than Theia, Sawyer is generally easier to talk to for his siblings and friends, even if he's not good at expressing his own thoughts or feelings much. This usually finds Sawyer cast as the family go between and peace-maker, even if that 'peace' requires Sawyer to act more impassively.

Like the rest of his family, Sawyer struggles with expressing his emotions, preferring to obscure his feelings with jokes and avoidance tactics. While he would never admit it, Sawyer takes greatly after his father in that regard, usually preferring to try and will away larger problems through humour than face them head on. When he needs to process his own feelings, Sawyer will often retreat, fond of disappearing for hours at a time to play music or spend time thinking alone.

Growing up with two creative parents, Sawyer also managed to inherit some creative talent, mostly from his musician mother, Mona. Sawyer enjoys playing the piano and some stringed instruments, mainly the guitar. He and his older sister Theia often play together and share music and bands back and forth, something with which he holds very dearly, being closest with Theia than his other siblings.

Strengths : Easy-going, creative, witty
Weaknesses : Closed-off, apathetic
Likes : Trivia, the ocean, music
Dislikes : His dad's puns, milk, nosy people

FAMILY + HISTORY

Originally fostered by Mona and Marcus, Sawyer was adopted at age three by the Carnahan's, the first of soon to be several adopted children after difficulties with the birth of their first child, Theia. Now, Sawyer is one of four Carnahan kids and grew up in a rather rowdy, chaotic household. He doesn’t really remember his birth parents or life before being adopted and would consider the Carnahan’s his “real” family for whatever meaning of the word. Content with his family life and parents, Sawyer has decided to not go digging in his past and has never had many questions about his birth parents.

The Carnahan's were always a close family, filled with a lot of jokes and activity and music, but in December 2048, his mother, Mona, passed away unexpectedly from illness. Her death hit the family hard, and Sawyer, along with his older sister Theia, tried to step up to help their father cope with the loss and care for their much younger siblings. No Carnahan is particularly good at expressing their emotions sincerely, often hiding behind jokes. It has been hard for the whole family to process the big change, though things have mostly settled now, something Sawyer is grateful for as Theia and now himself leave for school.

FIRST YEAR
fKaqnfM.jpg

Eager to strike out on his own, Sawyer was excited to finally be joining Theia at Hogwarts. Somewhat disappointed to be sorted in Ravenclaw, if only because it meant a longer trek to hang out with his sister in Slytherin, Sawyer settled in fairly quickly, notably befriend his housemates Delilah Thorne, Violette Holland, and Beckett Harrington. As the year went on, Sawyer managed to make a few more friends, including Estella Fuentes and Tilly Drage, though as they reached the second semester, Sawyer was surprised to find himself decided homesick. While his over all first year had been a positive one, Sawyer was grateful to be heading home to see his siblings and father again.

A year under his belt already, Sawyer was disappointed to find he was still feeling terribly homesick as he started his second year at Hogwarts. On a whim, or perhaps to help distract himself, Sawyer tried out for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, pleased if surprised when he was made the team's alternate keeper for the year. Though Ravenclaw didn't perform amazingly in the school cup, Sawyer still had a lot of fun with the team and his fellow teammates.

THIRD YEAR

Sawyer's third year brought along with it a newfound awareness of many of his classmates and he spent most of the year especially nursing a powerful crush on Ivy Ashworth. Sawyer couldn't manage to make himself act normally around her and after making a fool of himself in front of her at the Yule Ball, he made the embarrasing decision to try and hide from her at Valentine's, and choice he regretted and had to apologize for later, especially after a very awkward round of spin the bottle with their classmates.

FOURTH YEAR

Sawyer knew he should expect this year to feel different, now that Felix was officially joining them at school, but he definitely wasn't fully prepared for how his fourth year ended up going. Though Sawyer was unsurprised, he was still disappointed when Felix was sorted into Hufflepuff, though he still had plenty of chances to mentor and torment his brother throughout the year which was a good distraction to help him work through the horrible crush he was harbouring for Ivy. Things came to a head when Sawyer and Ivy attended the Yule Ball together but just when things were going well, Sawyer managed to insert his foot into his mouth later, bragging to a group of peers on the train home that he had kissed her at the ball that night. Ivy was understandably furious when she heard next semester and Sawyer knew he could kiss any chance of being with her goodbye.

FIFTH YEAR
MRGppV1.png

Fifth year often brings a lot of change and new responsibilities for Hogwarts students, something Sawyer was hopeful to dodge himself for his upcoming OWL year. It seemed he'd been marginally successful as most of his friends around him were handed out prefect badges, but Sawyer's fifth year brought more turmoil for his personal life rather than his educational one.
He started off the year with a new but not unwelcome flirtation with Finn Madison, one that unfortunately ended abruptly when it became clear that while Sawyer was in for the long haul, Finn wasn't ready for anything serious. Sawyer also struggled with his relationship with Delilah, when it seemed she had finally chosen her friendship with Ivy over him, leaving Sawyer without one of his closest friends for most of the year until the two were able to reconcile one late night after Delilah's father had died.
Most of Sawyer's year however was occupied with only thoughts of Estella Fuentes. What had started as a small crush snowballed into a massive one as Sawyer spent more time with her, especially when Estella spontaneously kissed Sawyer over Valentine's. Right in front of her boyfriend. With the kiss left unresolved, Sawyer spent the rest of the year mooning over Essie, even as Ravenclaw's promising Quidditch career crashed and burnt around him during their Finals match.

SIXTH YEAR
wtKnVdF.png

Sawyer began a rather trying Sixth year by taking over the position of Ravenclaw captain after Juniper had graduation, a decision he was sure was intended seriously as a joke as he struggled to manage his new found position of authority. Sawyer also struggled with his potential relationship with Estella, finding his feelings beyond distracting both in his attraction to her and his fear of somehow messing up the relationship, or worse, having her repeat what she'd done to her last boyfriend with him which prevented Sawyer from acting on his feelings even as Estella confessed her own feelings for him at the end of the year.

SEVENTH YEAR
aoCVyIN.png

Sawyer was grateful for the distraction from his personal life as his Seventh year meant having his youngest sibling finally join him at Hogwarts and spent most of the start of the year chasing after Thistle as she got settled into Ravenclaw house with him. It was also Sawyer's last year as Ravenclaw captain and while he wasn't confident in his leadership abilities, he was still pleasantly surprised (and nervous) to find Ravenclaw in the finals, even though they were predictably beaten into the dust by Slytherin once again.
Less predictably was Sawyer's still unstarted relationship with Essie, something Sawyer had yet to drum up the nerve to take the final step to begin, especially with their graduation looming over both of them so soon, leaving Sawyer to finish his last year with little to show for his seven years and not much else to look forward to.
