Character History:
Note: Sarah is a minor character within the Blindspot canon, but hopefully her history will show there's plenty here to work with.
Sarah Weller is the younger (and only) sibling of Kurt Weller by five years. Growing up in Clearfield, Pennsylvania, she was the same age as their neighbor, Taylor, and all three of them were best friends. While Sarah preferred dolls, dresses, and playing inside, she did venture out on the occasional camping trip with her big brother and Taylor. Their dad took them everywhere and they did so much together which is why, when Taylor disappeared forever, Sarah never once believed the accusation that pinned her kidnapping on him. Not long after the tragedy rocked their community, Sarah's mother was also out of the picture, and while her father was always good to her, he wasn't to Kurt. Bill Weller was often drunk and angry, but Sarah never saw a moment of that, protected by her big brother. This also clouded her judgement when it came to their father; she saw him only on his good days but Kurt knew the entire truth. Sarah always stood by Bill, and as the years passed with memorials held every spring for Taylor, she made sure he went, so believing in his innocence that she believed he deserved to mourn her as well.
Sarah stayed in Clearfield as an adult, got married, and had a son she named Sawyer. Sometime after his fifth birthday, she and her husband filed for divorce and with that, she needed the help of her brother, losing her house. Moving to New York was a big adventure, but living with Kurt worked out fine; they're close and even with not agreeing about their father's involvement with Taylor's disappearance, Sarah knows her brother would do anything for her and for Sawyer. She doesn't get to know much about her brother's work, which is fine, but after a few weeks of living with him, he sits her down to tell her what's happened at work: an unknown woman with his name tattooed on her back was a DNA match to Taylor Shaw. It's shocking, and while Sarah is stunned and elated that their childhood friend is alive, her first instinct is to tell Kurt they have to tell their father. Kurt balks, and that's when Sarah reveals their father is dying, his cancer out of remission and killing him quickly. She continues pushing to see Taylor as well, and the day she finally gets to she makes dinner for everyone, wanting to make her feel welcome. Seeing her again is overwhelming, and immediately Sarah envelopes the other woman in a hug. It's difficult adjusting to the fact that Taylor has no memories, and Sarah realizes her mistake of talking about the past when abruptly, Taylor leaves the apartment, too overwhelmed to stay.
Not long after, Sarah begins dating Edgar Reade, one of the agents on Kurt's team. They don't tell him, deciding he'll hate it, so they go behind his back and some nights, she sleeps at his place, coming home in the mornings. Kurt asks her one such morning if she's taking the walk of shame, to which she replies: "Who says I'm ashamed?" When Kurt does inevitably find out and confronts her, Sarah tries to argue the point, that she loves Edgar, but Kurt still argues, yelling at her that she could lose Edgar and he can't protect her from that if she's with him. She's taken aback when he raises his voice, though he immediately apologizes, leaving her stunned but otherwise not giving in to his want for her to break off the relationship. As it turns out though, she doesn't have to do anything: Edgar shows up at the apartment after she's told him she loves him for the first time and breaks up with her. He says he doesn't love her, which Sarah argues, but he leaves with no other explanation. She's furious, but she believes her brother's behind it, having demanded Edgar break it off with her, and while he did do that, the truth is much more alarming. Someone threatened Edgar with Sarah and Sawyer's lives, telling him if he didn't back off of a case, they'll be killed. It was enough to need to put some distance between him and Sarah. Convinced though that Kurt's behind it, Sarah leaves to stay with someone else without telling her brother at all, not wanting to be in his space any longer. There's a moment when Kurt is hurt on the job and she's by his side, but he's so stubborn about not needing the rest, she has no way of actually keeping him in the hospital.
She does attempt to connect with Ed again, going to his apartment building, but he firmly tells her that he's not in love with her, cementing that their relationship is over. On top of this, Sarah's father takes a turn for the worst, needing attention 24/7 and moving into Kurt's apartment now that they've reconnected. Sarah tries to see him as much as she can, but she doesn't feel like she has a place in Kurt's space any longer. After weighing her options, she decides to move to Portland where Sawyer's father lives, to give them a chance to be close. The day she goes to tell Kurt (at his job) and sign Power of Attorney documents with her brother regarding their father, she gets stuck in an elevator with Ed and the family law attorney. The issue presents itself as a security drill, but it becomes clear that something isn't right. Still, Ed and Sarah are stuck together, and for a few moments, she entertains the conversation, with Ed asking about Sawyer and his football practices, but she shuts it down, asking him that they not pretend everything is fine. Her heart is still broken, with no idea he broke up with her to try and keep her safe. Eventually, the stakes are raised when it's revealed hackers have infiltrated the FBI, raising the elevator to the top of the building and threatening to drop it if Kurt and the others don't comply to their demands. Terrified, Sarah looks to Ed to get them out of this, but it's only when Kurt gets to the elevator and tosses down a firehose for them to all climb up that they're rescued. The lawyer goes up first, and Sarah tries to insist Ed go ahead of herself, but he gets her to climb as the hose begins to break. She manages to get to safety, and with Ed barely hanging on, the elevator drops, crashing to the lowest level of the building. Everyone is safe, and when the threat in the building is clear, Sarah breaks the news that she's moving.
Before she can get out of New York though, Bill dies and confesses something horrifying to Kurt: that he killed Taylor Shaw when she was five and buried her body under a fort. When Kurt tells Sarah, she argues that their dad was dying, his mind confused, but her brother insists that he's going to dig up the ground beneath the fort at their childhood home. She tries to explain that there were police all over the house, that they would have found something, that no one in their right mind would bury someone at their own home, but still, Kurt is stubborn, so she tells him she'll help. They make the drive to Clearfield, digging for hours, in a hole they get at least six feet deep. When it's clear there's no body, Sarah and Kurt hug tightly, relieved, and go inside to finish off the beer in the house and relax. She has no idea what's happened when her brother bursts back inside, explaining he has to go. She's left stranded in Pennsylvania when he takes the car with no idea that later, he'll be digging up the remains of their childhood friend.
Abilities/Special Powers: N/A
Third-Person Sample:
[It's the magic closets that fascinate Sarah the most. Well, magic in general. She'd never considered her life as having been sheltered, she's lived other places and made big leaps in her life, but it's really clear, really fast that she honestly hasn't seen anything at all. It's been two days, and the way she's coping is by decorating. If she can get anything she wants, she's damn well going to.
Claiming a room on the second floor, it's when she has a stray thought of wishing she had a cold beer as she checks out the closet that she realizes there's some kind of...something happening. She takes the beer that appears out of nowhere, the same kind she and Kurt had been drinking before he rushed out of the house, and turns the bottle over in her hand. It looks right, and after tentatively taking a sip, she realizes it tastes right.]
No way.
[She'd asked for another after the first, and now she's got a room that looks like it's straight out of some magazine she never, ever thought she'd be able to afford anything out of. She even makes a room for Sawyer as a way to cope with the way her heart's aching at the thought of him being without her. Once the task is done though, she figures there has to be more to see, so she heads out of her room for the first time, wandering the mansion with wide eyes and eventually settling in the main entry. People mill about, coming and going, she scans her device and raises her eyebrows at some of the more interesting exchanges.]
I have to be dreaming.
First-Person Sample:
[There's no way she can keep from sending something over this network anymore. She's too curious about what's going on, here. But first:]
If anyone's seen Kurt Weller around tell him his sister's looking for him, and she's pissed. Kurt, if you can hear this, what the hell? You left me, alone, without a car, in Pennsylvania. Not sure if you remember, we live in York.
[Anyway.]
I'm Sarah, and I'm guessing people make a lot of these 'hi I'm new' things, so instead of going on about that, can someone just...assure me this isn't some hallucination? Because right now, I feel like I'm in a dream. I have no idea what to think about this place, so you tell me. What are the perks and downfalls?
