Commander **Sewell Dwight Snow** (Navy ID No. **C6-12-84**) is a main protagonist in the *Foxtrot: Foxes in Arms* series. He is an animatronic arctic fox who currently serves as an officer in the United States Navy as generations before him have. Sewell has close connections with Arthur Snow and considers him a significant role model and will do what he can to make him proud.

## Physical Appearance

Sewell is an animatronic fox the size of an average human, standing at roughly 5 feet 7 inches (1.7 meters) tall excluding ears, and bears many similarities to Arthur. He has primarily white fur with some blue fur on his front torso. Sewell has peach skin on his ears and matching fur on his muzzle. As opposed to Arthur, Sewell has blue-green eyes, a pretty rare color for arctic foxes. Much like his brother, Sewell has a fairly average build, if a bit on the scrawny side, but he does his best to maintain good physical health.

Sewell has three tufts of fur on each side of his head and hair in the form of three bangs. In terms of attire, Sewell wears a navy blue t-shirt on many occasions. He can also have a full USN dress uniform for formal reasons and a Navy-issue jacket over the t-shirt. It should be noted that while Sewell and Arthur look alike, they aren't twins. An additional note is that a scar can be seen on his left hip following a combat incident. It has since healed, but is still fairly noticeable.

## History

### Early Life

Sewell was born on November 13, 1999, in Newport News, Virginia, United States. Being born in a port city, he would've been exposed to the various forms of shipping, including private, military, commercial, and everything in between, at a pretty young age. As he grew up, Sewell became pretty social with many others within the same age group, not just other foxes but many other animals as well, getting pretty chatty and got the chance to play with many friends he made during his childhood. He'd also make an unbreakable bond with his older brother, Arthur Snow, who was three years older than him. It would be the two of them for the longest time as they typically did almost everything together as most brothers do. He would also form close relationships with Arthur’s friends; Justin Redding the Red Fox, Swefred Hayden the Swift Fox, and Arian Torres the Grey Fox. Sewell, along with some of the others, is considered a founding member of the Skulk. The group of five became a pretty close-knit group, though things would begin to change as time passed.

As Sewell grew older, he gave serious consideration to what he wanted to do in life. While Sewell did come from a pretty long military background, he initially didn't want to be a part. His father, Joseph Snow, had served in the Navy for several years before his birth, and Arthur had expressed interest in doing the same, following in their father's footsteps. Sewell had taken a liking to the sea and at least working by it, but he didn't feel he had to join the military to do so. So, at this time, he began looking for other lines of work, including getting certified as a lifeguard.

Sewell got the chance to work as a lifeguard after Arthur left to pursue a military career. But this time also gave him serious considerations; he and Arthur always did things together, but it seemed they had differing career paths. There was nothing wrong with this, but still. Eventually, as soon as he turned 18, Sewell signed up to join the US Navy.

### U.S. Navy Service

Sewell soon showed great intelligence as he quickly made his way through basic training and a scholarship at the Naval Academy and was quickly commissioned as a Junior Lieutenant. His first overseas deployment was to the Mediterranean Sea aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS *Mannert L. Abele* (DDG-999). Sewell quickly distinguished himself as a competent sailor and was appointed as third-in-command of the ship by the captain after a series of later deployments. He even earned a reputation amongst the rest of the *Abele’s* crew as a pretty friendly officer but still very disciplined in his work. On a side note, it is around this time that Sewell gets a lot more acquainted with Justin's younger brother Tom, who he would eventually form as a best friend.

After a few years, Arthur was given command of the USS *Missouri*, an old *Iowa*-class battleship that had returned to service. Arthur requested a transfer order upon learning Sewell’s position aboard the *Abele*. Sewell was almost immediately transferred from the *Abele* to the *Missouri*, where Arthur made his younger brother his second-in-command.

Sewell is now a Commander within the Navy’s ranks. As Commander of the *Missouri*, Sewell brings a sense of family to the crew, which many see as a nice contradiction to Arthur’s stricter way of running things. However, he abides by the rules, and while he will follow Arthur’s example during battles, he will always remain optimistic that they’d get through okay. He’d see his fair share of combat at Arthur’s side in his nation’s fight against the Urocyan Empire.

#### War-time Duty

During one of the earliest battles of the conflict, the *Missouri* received damage while engaging an enemy light cruiser. 6-inch (152mm) shells impacted several spots on the battleship, lighting fires, damaging bulkheads, and injured some sailors aboard, one of them being Sewell.

He had been struck on his lower right-side waist by a piece of shrapnel from one of the naval artillery shell's impact. The wound was so bad that it wasn't certain whether Sewell would survive or not. Fearing for his brother's life, Arthur ordered Sewell to be taken ashore for recovery from the incident, and despite the situation at hand, Sewell refused to go. So, Arthur reluctantly allowed him to stay, but sent him to the sick bay for recovery. Upon returning, Sewell was transferred to a medical facility for proper treatment. Sewell would soon make a full recovery.

   Following his return to duty, Sewell would be assigned to the *Missouri* again, where he and Arthur would lead the ship through several more campaigns against enemy influence. However, as time passed, Arthur allowed Sewell to make his own name. As such, upon Sewell performing well as a leader on a few occasions, Sewell was reassigned as the commander of the USS *Kidd*, an *Arleigh Burke*-class AEGIS destroyer. He was also assigned as the commodore of Destroyer Squadron 23 (DESRON 23) commodore, also known as the "Little Beavers." While he may not be as great as Arthur, Sewell makes great strides in doing the best he can.

## Personality

Sewell is best described by friends and family as an incredibly energetic, optimistic, and friendly guy to hang around with. Compared to his brother, Sewell is much more of a case of being "a kid in an adult's body." Though it should be noted he's still quite mature and only has child-like charm to him. With him being pretty optimistic most of the time, Sewell can make the best of a bad situation. Practically everyone says he's an absolute joy to be around, and he's quite the "loveable fluffball," as some may put it.

But one thing to note about him is that despite all this optimism, Sewell can also be seen as insecure in many areas, namely his ability to be a natural leader. He's said himself that Arthur was much more of a leader as he was, and while Sewell was pretty disciplined, he's nowhere near the level of discipline Arthur possesses. Regardless, Sewell is the kind of guy who's always ready to have a good time. It's due to his pretty positive nature that he may act pretty goofy from time to time. This can be linked to him being an excitable, happy and upbeat person.

## Abilities

The military taught Sewell plenty of fighting skills and some ways to improve his reflexes and stamina. While he may not have the best endurance, especially compared to his brother, Sewell can do a great deal. He's pretty intelligent and able to think outside the box and is pretty great at navigation and positioning. One particular skill that Sewell has that he utilizes just for fun is his ability to cook; he briefly had some culinary training before joining the military but ended up having a natural talent for it.

## Relationships

### Arthur Snow

Arthur is Sewell's older brother and one of the closest friend and allies. Sewell absolutely loves his big brother and has quite the bond with him. While Sewell and Arthur do have differing personalities, they do get along very well, and Sewell will do what he can to help his brother. Arthur would normally be the one to protect Sewell more often than not, but Sewell has also had his moments of returning the favor to him as well. From a young age, Sewell looks up to Arthur as a role model and had a motivation to be more like his brother, despite his own occasional depression. Sewell's overall positivity has helped with Arthur's depression in many cases, and Sewell has been prone to not give up if his brother has an issue and wants the best for him, as much as Arthur wants the same for him.

On duty, Sewell shares a more student-mentor relationship with Arthur. When it comes to command, Sewell isn't as strict as Arthur is, but is still firm and doesn't argue with Arthur's orders directions. There have been moments that they've had their disagreements, but nine times out of ten, most conflicts are commonly resolved with no issue. Many sailors do look up to Sewell and Arthur, and they have sometimes been described as the Navy's greatest command duo in recent history. Sewell is also one of Arthur's biggest supporters in his own fight against Arian, knowing full well what happened between them and is willing to help Arthur where ever he can in that fight.

### Vienna North

Vienna is another one of Sewell's closest friends and allies. Sewell mostly views Vienna as a sister-figure, nearly as much as Arthur as his brother, and would happily accept her as his sister-in-law whenever she and Arthur go to marriage. They are shown to get along quite well, with Vienna also showing her fondness of Sewell and acts as an older sister-figure to him. As much as Arthur is, Vienna also serves as a huge source of inspiration for Sewell considering how good of a leader and fighter she is. He is also quite happy to see Vienna and Arthur together, and is probably one of the biggest supporters of the couple.

As stated, Sewell has a huge mount of respect for Vienna regarding her leadership skills as well as her fighting abilities. If he ever wanted to get some guidance in either department, she'd be a great fox to go to. Sewell will also go to Vienna if he feels something's wrong with Arthur, considering how close they are to him. He also looks to Vienna when it comes to problem-solving, considering her status as the Skulk's resident genius.

### Tom Redding

Tom is Sewell's best friend. Thanks to Sewell's energetic nature and young charm, he gets along with Tom very well, and were practically a hit with each other upon their first meeting. Their relationship is much better than that between Tom and Arthur. More often than not, they can be seen doing quite a bit of things together, an example includes cooking, where Tom generally acts as Sewell's sous chef, or second in command. Another example is them commonly playing games together.

Some disagreements can be seen between them. Sewell doesn't approve of the mindset Tom sometimes has where violence is the only way to solve a problem, because he'd been raised to believe violence should be a last resort, if not a desperate one. Even his time in the military has taught him diplomacy before action. Sewell is vocal about such things, but never wishes to get into fights and usually tries to help Tom in such circumstances. Despite these disagreements, their bond is still seen as fairly strong.

### Justin Redding

Justin is another close friend of Sewell's. He admires Justin's strength and build, and has periodically idolized him for such things. When they interact, Sewell gets along with Justin quite well, as Justin's quite a bit more extroverted than Arthur, so they'd be more of a match. He likes to have fun with Justin whenever he can, and for Justin, the feeling is shared. Now, Sewell isn't all that big on Justin's boastfulness, but commonly lets it slide unless it goes too far. He'll simply talk to Justin to make him see sense, and it does work quite a bit. And then again, Justin is also fairly protective of Sewell being the youngest of the group.

Sewell also admires Justin's skills as a pilot, both on and off the battlefield. He has been grateful as Justin and his squad has come to his and the others' aid more times than not. This has been yet another thing for Sewell to idolize Justin for, even though he feels he never could be as great a pilot as Justin could be.

### Swefred Hayden

Swefred is someone Sewell also hold with quite a bit of fondness. He greatly enjoys the cowboy vibes he gets from Swefred, and he also has some great respect for him when it comes to his medical knowledge. Knowing Swefred has given Sewell somewhat of a fascination with his heritage, and whenever Swefred tells Wild West stories, Sewell could sit there and listen to them all day. Swefred also views Sewell quite fondly, commonly calling him his "li'l buddy" out of affection. All of this to say they had quite the friendship. Sewell is always thankful whenever Swefred helps him with an injury, mostly physical. And at the same time, given Swefred's upbringing, Sewell also knows not to mess with the Texan-bred swift fox or get on his bad side. Granted, Sewell never wants to do that to him, or anyone else. He also looks up to Swefred for inspiration much like Justin or Arthur, but not quite as much. It could be said that the fact Swefred gets along so well with Arthur that he could also get along with Sewell as well.

### Jess Silver

Jess is a newer member of the Skulk, but has gotten used to everyone else by now. Sewell has been seen to interreact with Jess, and is also quite fond of her. He understands that Jess is quite a bit more introverted, even compared to Arthur. Still, Sewell does his best to make sure Jess is comfortable and, despite his energetic nature, tries to take time to understand her side. Jess, over time, has opened up quite a bit, but is still fairly shy. She does like Sewell and, aside from her boyfriend Tom, credits Sewell for helping her break out of her shell quite a bit. They have been seen to help each other out from time to time, and they have a fairly good bond to share.

### Scarlett Wilde

Sewell gets along very well with Scarlett, the newest member of the Skulk, as well as Justin's romantic partner. Whenever Sewell acts all energetic and, essentially, like one big kid, she likes to see him as a huge living teddy bear, which she uses as justification for giving him hugs every chance she feels is good. And when he does get energetic, or overjoyed about something, Scarlett always finds this rather cute, and his energetic nature tends to rub off on her. In turn, Sewell also likes Scarlett, finding her to not only be a nice vixen, but also pretty cool with what she could do as a fighter pilot and mechanic.

Sewell also appreciates the feedback Scarlett gives when she tries something he cooks. Usually, she loves the stuff he cooks, and in the event she doesn't, she'll let Sewell know, which he'd use to improve on certain things. Scarlett also has come to enjoy many of the things Sewell likes to do, and she's even grown an interest in learning about Sewell's ship, the *Arleigh Burke*-class destroyer USS *Kidd*, which he'd gained command of following his promotion by Arthur. Of course, Sewell's happy to talk about it with her, and in general, they'd end up talking for a while as though they were old friends.

## Trivia

* From a design standpoint, Sewell can be seen as a modified version of Arthur's design; though they might look very much alike, Sewell and Arthur aren't twins.
	+ Sewell is closer to having a legit fur pattern to a real arctic fox (*Vulpes lagopus*), having mostly white fur except on his muzzle and front torso.
* Sewell's name is of English origin. The name means "sea power" as translated from the medieval given name. This can be linked with his advanced knowledge of naval warfare and how to bring about a victory in a sea battle (to an extent).
* Sewell's number, C6-12-84, was mainly inspired by that of CT-1284, a stealth operations clone trooper nicknamed "Spark." from *Star Wars: The Clone Wars*. Also, Sewell's nickname, "Sesix" is taken from C6, the first part of his number.
	+ As of 2022, the number and nickname have not been used as regularly, likely having been retired.
* Sewell worked as a lifeguard during his high school years. This means he has lifesaving skills, but they're more limited compared to Swefred, who's a certified physician.
* While being described as a kid in an adult's body, this mainly applies to Sewell's energetic and positive nature. He's still fairly mature despite his young, child-like charm.
* There is a theory that suggests Sewell has Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADHD, which may be a decent explanation as to why he has so much energy. It has yet to be confirmed as of late.
	+ While Sewell is overly active at times, especially when he was younger, he hasn't been seen to have many of the other signs of ADHD. This, however, doesn't discredit the theory as, if true, it could be a mild case.
* Unlike most of the other characters, Sewell has a tendency not to use swear words. He will typically say things such as "Oh my gosh!" instead of "Oh my god!", or use words such as "dang" instead of "damn". He is said to have much less of a sailor-mouth compared to some of the others. However, he has been noted as using words such as "crap" or similar, less offensive or subtle words like it.
* Sewell happens to share his name with a real-world location, that being Sewell's Point located in Norfolk, Virginia. It is a land peninsula located at the mouth of the salt-water port of Hampton Roads. This exact peninsula is also the site of Naval Station Norfolk, the US Navy's largest base, and the largest naval complex in the world.
	+ The name similarities is completely coincidental, but still an interesting idea as to where Sewell may have gotten his name in-universe, despite having been born at Newport News rather than Norfolk as his brother has.
