Home State || Washington
History || Sawyer was born in Washington, to Richard and Erica. She has two older siblings, Justin and Melody. In Kindergarten, she met a friend, who soon become her best friend. Alaina. They spent almost all of their time together. They grew up together. Alaina had a troubled home, however. And there wasn't enough support for her. At the age of 14, Alaina, committed suicide. Sawyer took this hard. She became very depressed and kept to herself. She stopped studying. Her grades fell. About two weeks later, almost as if her mood turned around, she became hyper. Reckless, impulsive. She was going out to parties. Ignoring the rules her parents set. She bought things she didn't need or have the money for. Boys became a problem for her. Always dating the bad boys. Her parents were concerned about her. They didn't know how to handle her. They spoke to her doctor, and her doctor recommended she see a psychiatrist. Sawyer agreed, though reluctantly. Her first appointment, the psychiatrist diagnosed her with Bipolar Disorder II. She wasn't hallucinating or hearing things. She was what they used to call "manic depressive." It took about half a year to find the right medications to treat her, so she was as back to normal as she could be. She hated the idea of having to take medication for the rest of her life, but she understood it would help her. She decided to start college late, rather than go to college straight after high school. When she was twenty-one, she decided to attend Copper Harbor.
