Sawnie is the girl that everyone wants to hangout with. she cool and hip. she loves her dog and she loves all of her friends and keeps them close to her heart. she has dark brown hair and brown eyes. She's is very short. she loves her life and wants to life it like its her last. she isn't a dare devil. she is difficult and subborn sometimes, but her friends know the true "sawnie" It gets on sawnies nerves when you spell something wrong, and people also like to call her the "grammer police." and when you type her name it often comes out as "sawbie"
