## **History**

### **Early Life**

Sarah Morris was born on January 24, 2078 at San Francisco Memorial Hospital to Morris witch Leo Morris and fellow witch Abigail Webster, as the couple's only child. After being born Sarah was blessed with a wiccaning which was proceeded by her ancestor Emily Morris, after her wiccaning Sarah's mother abandoned her leaving her alone with her father whom unable to cope alone moved in with Sarah's Grandmother; Andrea Morris and her Uncle DJ Morris.

At three years old Sarah became the older cousin of Emily Jacobs, through her Aunt Camryn Morris. Although not long after Sarah's uncle Adrian, Emily's father, was killed in a car accident causing her Aunt and cousin to move in with her and the rest of the family. Within another two years, Sarah started showing signs of having powers with her having lit all the candles in the house after having a nightmare and later blasting wind into the house and nearly hurting her Aunt Camryn. Sarah's uncle DJ later became Sarah's whitelighter.

After starting at kindergarten Sarah quickly became best friends with Lucas Donovan and the pair soon became inseparable with one another however four years later her father was killed in a demon attack. The death caused her powers to go haywire taking out all the power from a block radius. However it wasn't until she nearly killed Emily that DJ decided to take Sarah to live at magic school for a couple of weeks, with them telling everyone including Luke that she was with her uncle in Florida for a couple of weeks. Three weeks later, and Sarah returned with her having found a way to deal with her anger and grief.

When she was twelve Sarah was further devastated upon learning that her Aunt Camryn had cancer. It was then that Sarah revealed the truth to Luke and told him that she was a witch. During this time Sarah also first met Peri Evans, a Warren witch, and quickly befriended her despite knowing that Peri was a bound witch. Within the next year Sarah's Aunt Camryn died leaving both Sarah and Emily to be raised by their grandmother and Uncle DJ.

During her high school years, Sarah mixed her time between normal school and taking on special courses at Magic school which only Luke knew about. In her freshman year Peri and her became cheerleaders with both their mothers having been cheerleaders in school. By senior year Sarah and Luke began dating one another though they split up by the time their senior year ended.

At eighteen after graduating from high school, Sarah moved out of her family home to go to Berkeley University in San Francisco, California, with Peri, Luke, and Peri's older sister Pax Evans. With the help of her uncle DJ, Sarah managed to get a place on campus for her friends and her. In her first year at University Sarah had decided that she wanted to study psychology though she still spends her weekends at home with Emily, DJ, and and Grandmother trying to learn and study the craft as well as taking a couple of classes at magic school.

Whilst studying at Berkeley Sarah found out about Emily's vision and learning that Paisley Evans, Peri and Pax's Mother would die. Within four months Sarah discovered that Emily's vision had come to pass and that Paisley Evans had passed away as she tried to be there for Peri and her sisters. Although the night that Paisley died Sarah learned of Emily's new prophecy the birth of the Legacy Charmed Ones.

## **Appearance**

Sarah is a very beautiful and exotic young woman.

* **Appearance:** In terms of appearance, Sarah has soft and gentle facial features, a heart-shaped face, with full cheeks and a pointed chin, long, luxurious dark brown hair and very expressive, soulful, dreamy and beautiful eyes; they are large, round and almond-shaped which are seen to be olive green in coloring. She has well-shaped, full and sensuous lips, with straight white teeth and a warm and generous smile. She has clear and soft light brown skin, a slim yet athletic figure and is also rather petite at about 5'2". Sarah also has a tattoo of the Latin word Elements on her right inner wrist which is to signify her elemental magic.

As shown by several dances and parties, she likes to dress up in costume. Sarah also wears a charm bracelet given to her by her grandmother after her mother left.

## **Personality**

Sarah is often described as being a good-hearted, bubbly, sweet, fun-loving, spirited and compassionate individual. She can also be considered as being a very loyal and devoted friend and cousin especially towards Emily, DJ and Peri. He most defining trait, as well as her greatest weakness, is her compassion, her selflessness, and her undying devotion and loyalty to her friends and her willingness to constantly sacrifice or martyr herself for them and for the greater good. She has shown that she is willing to put her own personal pain on the back burner in order to pay attention to the needs of her loved ones and became a very careless and reckless person when it comes to her friends.

Between the cousins, Sarah is a very optimistic person who always tries to see the positive in things. However, she does suffer immense grief, loss, pain and tragedy as well as the losses of people close to her (most notably, her father and Aunt Camryn), she begins to become a much more serious person. Despite her strength in the face of loss, all of the tragic events that have happened to her and her friends has taken their emotional, mental and spiritual toll on her. Her grief was so bad that Sarah even had to leave town for a few weeks as to not hurt Emily. Although Sarah puts on a facade of strength and courage, and proves that deep down, she is a very emotionally vulnerable young woman.

Although Sarah is generally a positive and optimistic person, she is capable of being depressive, withdrawn, martyring, and apathetic. Despite all the pain, loss and suffering that she has endured, Sarah still remains rather strong, especially in the face of danger and adversity. She often uses her powers and abilities as a witch to save the people she cares for as well as innocents, despite knowing the consequences. Sarah has also developed a more reserved, yet assertive and authoritarian demeanor.

## **Relationships**

### **Family**

#### **Emily Jacobs**

Emily Jacobs is Sarah's cousin and one of her closest friends. Growing up Sarah has always lived with her little cousin, and so often sees the younger witch as a little sister. She was the first person in the family that Sarah told of her being either gay or bisexual. Sarah and Emily are usually always found together especially when not with the Evans sisters, and seem to have a sisterly bond.

However like all sisters/cousins, Sarah and Emily do fight especially when it comes to sports or competition with Emily having a desire to win, as well as when Sarah's powers go haywire. They also disagree on a lot of different things due to their personalities as well as their Wiccan natures with Sarah having nearly killed Emily twice. Yet they will always be there for one another and will protect each other with everything that they have within themselves even willingly sacrificing themselves to save the other.

#### **DJ Morris**

DJ Morris is Sarah's ancestor, her whitelighter and surrogate uncle. For as long as she has been alive DJ has been apart of her life and was even named as her godfather, and is always the one to help and guide her. She has spent her magical life teaching and helping DJ with his life in the modern world. Having known DJ since moving into her Grandmother's house she has always seen him as a "uncle" although was a bit apprehensive about him being her whitelighter.

However like all families Sarah and DJ do have a lot of problems with them feeling that they can sometimes be in each others lives too much. She seems to have a more strained relationship with her uncle than Emily had. Although unlike Emily she doesn't argue much with DJ feeling that he knows what is right. She tends to spend a lot of her time learning things from him especially history and magic.
