Metal-wielder · Iron Squad's engineer · the repeat who made it · the one who forged his own leg back
Sawyer Henrick
He failed to bond the first time and repeated the year rather than go home. Then he lost a leg saving his dragon — and built himself a new one. Steady doesn't mean soft. It means he rebuilds.
Violet's squad, Rhiannon's pick for second, and the quiet metallurgist who turned his own signet on his own body. The engineer who literally puts himself back together.

We're Caffeine and Curses. The Library started as my design research — I can't put Sawyer on a shirt without knowing the leg he lost is below the knee, and the one he built himself is metal — so we keep the notes here where everyone can use them. The pages are fan-made, not official; the licensed designs are in the shop.
