Sawyer Laurens

> *"Okay! I'm Sawyer Laurens, I'm the Ultimate Loremaster, and I once wound up in the hospital from eating every pill out of the medicine cabinet just to see what would happen! Goshhhh, that hurt so much," they grumbled. "I thought it would taste like candy!! And well, honestly, I'd love to eat anything! I wonder what they have here?" they gasped. He seemed nervous around them, and not all that eager. "Aren't you curious what they have? Oh! Right, and what's your name?" - Sawyer, introducing themself to Kubo Atsushi.*

## Appearances

### Debut

Prologue

Sawyer Laurens is a non-binary character from Danganronpa: Blood and Water. The Ultimate Loremaster, they are insanely passionate about their various areas of knowledge. Ironically, they seem to be almost completely oblivious to the apparent reality, which has put numerous people they've interacted with at a distance. Their excitable and infectious optimism, has however earned them various affiliations with a number of people, namely being closest with Kaoru Kajiwara and Lucian Arbred.

## Personality

Sawyer is an incredibly perky, optimistic, and friendly individual. They are incredibly extroverted and always have a tendency for looking on the bright side, almost always a smile on their face or a cheerful remark.

They're known for saying things that are really strange and random to an outside observer. They have an incredibly wild imagination, and you could say they see everything through rose-colored glasses.

They rarely take things seriously, and often seem rather childish, in their habits such as waving their hands around, Naruto-running, frequently making references nobody gets, and engaging in impulsive and nonsensical behaviors, such as injuring their arm in a knife-fight with Horatia.

You could argue them to be incredibly naive, oblivious, even... delusional. Yes, delusional would be the word.

Sawyer sees the bright and sunny side of everything and nothing else. The garden is always green, the flowers are always blooming.

It's possible they developed this as a sort of defense mechanism to hide from traumatic events, and to always maintain a smile upon their face.

Sawyer has an incredibly short attention span, as noted by Lucian. They don't always hear things the first time, and quite commonly get distracted.

They're very kind and accepting towards others, but become very angry and defensive if someone is attempting to hurt someone else. It is suggested by this that they have deep morals.

They have a slight tendency towards jealousy, though they don't always realize it.

They can be too selfless, diving in to save others at a moment's notice.

Sawyer also has a tendency to be very oblivious, not only to the reality of a situation, but to their surroundings, and to reading the room and how they affect others.
