Name: Annie Sawyer
Canon: Being Human (UK)
Original or Alternate Universe: Original
Canon Point: Series 3, episode 1, right when she and Mitchell leave purgatory.
Number: RNG please!
Setting: In a world similar to our own....except with secret bastions of supernaturals. Doesn't that sound familiar? Most of the Being Human worlds is like ours, except where it isn't: that is, there are vampires (that don't explode in the sun, but don't sparkle in it, and can lay off the juice) werewolves (who are bitten and only turn during full moons, or they die a terrible death) and ghosts (dead people with unresolved issues, who can turn poltergeisty). The vampires are the "top" of the food chain, with a really typical bloodsucking society including "old ones" - i.e. some jerks in South America, but everyone pretty much keeps a low profile.
History: Annie Clare Sawyer was a fashion student when she met Owen, who she dated in Uni. They got engaged, and it seemed to be the perfect life....right up until Owen, in a jealous rage over a pair of panties he had never seen and thinking that Annie was cheating on him, pushed her down the stairs of the house that they had just bought to start their life in. She died, then, but her ghost stayed in the house, forgetting that Owen was the one who killed her. Owen moves out and starts to rent the house out.
People who lived in the house didn't like it much because, well, it was haunted. But after a couple of years on her own, George and Mitchell, a werewolf and vampire, respectively, moved in. They could both see her, and together they lived a life of relative normalcy....well, as normal as a ghost, a werewolf, and a vampire can get. Annie starts to gain some self-confidence and becomes visible to some people, which is exciting for her! That basically catches us up to episode one, where Mitchell has a crisis because it's all about Mitchell always, but in the meantime....
The house has plumbing issues, and that brings Owen back to try and handyman them away, except he's either terrible at it, or he just can't fix what's wrong. Annie finds out that he's dating this horrible girl and gets kind of jealous about it: she basically starts doing creepy stalkery ex things like stealing George's phone to text Owen to come back and fix things, but Owen brings Janey, his new girlfriend along, and Annie's self confidence tanks, and people are unable to see her again.
Shortly after George brings him Tully, a werewolf, who seems okay at first, but then harasses Annie and makes her uncomfortable, and eventually gets kicked out by George because George finds out that Tully's the one who bit him.
After this, George and Mitchell sort of realize that Annie is depressed (this is basically inspired by her telling the boys that she has PMS, and then crying over engagement gifts she still has, like a parsley grater), and take her out to meet a ghost from the 80s named Gilbert, who Annie starts spending time with. Gilbert does things like takes her out for "fun" (which is no fun at all) but also gets her to realize that she has unfinished business....and Annie decides that her unfinished business is to take care of Owen, which she does in a creepy stalkery ex-girlfriend manner right up until Owen finally fixes the plumbing by finding the flushed thong that was the impetus of their final fight. Annie remembers how she died. When she takes comfort with Gilbert, he reveals to her that he loves her, and the door to his afterlife appears in the flat, and he leaves her.
This leads Annie into a depression, and her emotional state causes her to begin to "poltergeist" - she moves things without touching them. While she's in this funk, Mitchell is dealing with his own shit, and is accused of being a pedophile, which causes Owen to ask the boys to move out. This enrages Annie, who burns all the things that she owned of his, and soon after she discovers people can see her again. She then uses her newfound determination to confront Owen, who is only scared for a moment, but then scoffs and blows her off, claiming that this is just another temper tantrum. Annie tries to warn Janey about Owen, but she thinks she's hallucinating, and Owen exacerbates this by telling her it's only stress, and there's nothing there (while he looks at Annie, because he's 100 kinds of douchbag).
In the meantime, Mitchell's gotten himself kind of in trouble, and George comes to find Annie who is depressed over the Owen-and-Janey scenario, and convinces her to go save Mitchell. After saving Mitchell, Owen shows up at the house, and this time Annie scares him with "a secret of the dead" which causes him to become crazy and turn himself in, as long as it will protect him from her.
At this point Annie's door shows up, but before she can go through it, Mitchell is staked by Herrick, the head honcho vampire, and she decides to stay and help him. Annie meets a ghost of a victim of the vampire's farm-a-human plan. She goes and poltergeists her way into the vampire's lair, along with George who helps. They save the people who the vampires intended to eat.
Mitchell recovers, and the gang, along with Nina, George's girlfriend, kill Herrick by locking him in a room with George while he transforms, and season one ends.
Season two opens with Annie trying to help Nina, who was scratched by George. They don't know if she'll become a werewolf or not. Annie goes with her to help her through that first full moon and stays with her when she transforms.
Around this time Annie decides she's going back to the world and getting a job, since she can be seen. She works at a local pub where she begins a flirtation with a man named Saul, who begins to be plagued by Death to get Annie to go through her door. He assaults her and she disappears, and soon after he drinks and drives and dies. Annie comes to see him and he tries to push her through his door, but ends up managing to fight the voices, and Annie stays on this side. However, she is once more invisible.
Annie then meets a ghost named Sykes who constantly dodges Death, and learns from him how to control her abilities, and also faces her death - that is, the toppling down the stairs. She confronts it and Sykes tells her that by confronting Death will have no power over her.
At this point there are some minor Annie plotlines - she gets a baby to take care of for a day! She helps a psychic regain his confidence! The biggest thing that happens, though, is that while helping the psychic, her mother comes to the psychic's show and says that she should have known that Annie was in trouble, she should have been there. Annie reaches out to her mother by making a tissue rose, assuring her mother she's all right, and that prompts Annie to decide that she needs to move on. She approaches the big bad of the season, a priest named Kemp, and asks him if he can help her cross over. He agrees, and tries, but on the night they try George comes home in the middle of transforming and Annie decides she has to help him instead.
Annie, Mitchell and George end up at the facility where Kemp and Lucy, Mitchell's girlfriend-who-has-been-lying-about-most-everything are doing experiments like trying to get wolves to not succumb to the full moon (all the wolves die). Kemp once more tries to get Annie to pass over, but when she says she doesn't want to because she has not said goodbye to her friends, Kemp stabs the psychic intermediary to create one of death's doors and continues the exorcism, forcing Annie through. Nina and George watch via surveillance as she goes through and the door shuts.
In the meantime, Mitchell's killed 20 people. (GOOD JOB, MITCHELL!)
Some time after this, George, Nina and Mitchell are living in another house. Lucy comes to see them, to try and make amends, but Kemp shows up and stabs Lucy. He's about to try and kill Nina when Annie steps through the door and grabs him, pulling him into purgatory. The living trio now see Annie through the television static, where she tells them she's in trouble for pulling Kemp through.
Okay almost done.
Nina, George and Mitchell move to Wales, and Mitchell uses the death of a patient at the hospital to go through and try and save Annie. There he deals with this mysterious ghost named Lia who makes him revisit points where he's killed people, including the Boxcar 20. However, after she gives him the prophecy that he'll be killed by a werewolf, she goes and finds Annie, who she says is free to go, and she and Mitchell leave purgatory and go back to Wales.
And then I've pulled her to the ship.
Personality:To begin with, Annie is a caregiver. Part of this is from a desperation to be needed and wanted, which is reflected in the fact that she can't stop making tea for the boys - part of this is habit, but part of it comes from the desire for them to like having her around. She continues to care for Owen, making him dinner and laying out clothes for him (up until she finds out he killed her) and when she returns from purgatory, she announces herself to be Mitchell's "guardian angel" and is determined to make sure that he has nothing but good things happen to him. It's also hard-pressed for Annie to say no to people, or if she does, she's simply not convincing enough for people to believe her; she takes care of a stranger's ghost baby for two days, proclaiming that if the mom doesn't return she'll adopt him, for instance, or trying to help a medium who can no longer talk to the dead.
However, it has to be said, that when Annie cares, it's not just because she wants to feel alive: she develops very deep bonds, such as when her business of resolving her death allows her to pass on, she opts instead to go and help Mitchell - yes, he was bleeding, but she could have just selfishly opted to go through the door to whatever comes next. Her capacity for loyalty is extraordinary: when she finds out that Mitchell was responsible for the Box Car 20 massacre, instead of leaving him she promises she'll stay with him always, even though it horrifies her that he killed those people. She makes friends easily and is by far the most empathetic of the original trio.
Annie is very, very aware that she's dead - and that's a very important thing to say, in this scenario. She begins the series as developing self-confidence in herself (which is when people can see her) and she's insecure, although she tries her best to overcome it. As things progress, she's forced to grow up and examine herself and her world. This is what happens in the first season, with regards to her relationship with Owen, her ex-fiancee.
I also feel like I need to visit her relationship with Owen, because it's a huge part of her character development. Owen was her life, and it's shown that Owen was abusive, but that Annie refused to deal with it and was in denial (which is sort of mirrored in why the plumbing in the house never works - because Annie's thong is in the plumbing, and he only finds it when she realizes that he killed her - its been there for YEARS and he could never find it until that moment), painting a perfect picture on him. Even as her awareness grew (she knew, for instance, that he was irrationally jealous) she never put the blame on him. This is sort of a crucial point because she has, at the beginning of the series, no self esteem. She thought she deserved it, and was jealous of Janey, Owen's girlfriend. She felt the need to care for him and be there for him, and couldn't move away from her love for him until she came to terms with the fact that he was the one who hurt her. This says a lot about who Annie was: someone who could not face the demons that existed in her world. Contrast this to who Annie becomes: someone who faces that Mitchell killed 20 people, who realizes this, who doesn't deny it, and who doesn't let him get away with it. Annie makes him face it better than Lia ever could, despite the fact that this could blow their entire world open. This is another man she loves who has done a terrible wrong, but instead of denying it and ignoring it, she realizes it and makes him face it. There's a lot of growth there - and while Annie isn't entirely at that point from where I pulled her, she's most of the way there.
Before she remembered her own death, she couldn't move on, convinced that she still loved him and wanting to take care of him. However, a lot of Annie's first arc is about self-realization, and after that self-realization (that Owen killed her, that she wanted revenge, her revenge of telling him the secret of the dead, and being seen again) she begins to grow up. This means that she starts to not rely so much on the care of George and Mitchell but goes out and does things like get a job, try and "live a life" (even though she's dead) and be an independent person.
However, she grows attached to people. She's attached to George and Mitchell even if she doesn't "need" them. This is potentially related to the fact that they can see her all time, but it also is related to the fact that she loves them (Mitchell, she claims later in the series, is the love of her life.). This attachment can manifest itself in a lot of ways, but one thing she is consistently when it comes to her friends is unerringly brave. She finds a majority of her confidence when it comes to saving her friends from danger, including the ability to "poltergeist" and move things without touching them.
It's important to mention that Annie has a very bouyant sense of humor. She likes little jokes that may be teasing (usually it's George) but generally her humor is not at the expense of others. She likes to do things correctly (like when she puts on a headset to talk to her stage manager for when she helps the psychic) even if the items involved don't work. It doesn't matter. She likes order more than chaos and really enjoys having a plan.
Abilities, Weaknesses and Power Limitations: + Teleportation: Annie can disappear and reappear elsewhere. On the ship this will only be possible in places already explored and examined, like the O2 gardens, living spaces, so on, so forth.
+ Poltergeisting: Annie can move and turn on and off things without touching them - however, this is really only something she does during strong emotional moments and while she can kind of control it, she's not using it to play around.
- Visibility: If Annie doesn't feel good about herself, she's not visible to humans. However, she's always visible to supernatural creatures.
- Tangibility: Annie is not tangible except, again, to supernaturals. She can go through doors and people. On board this is like her teleportation, only available in already accessible areas.

Log Sample: Perhaps she shouldn't have asked if he could help her cross over. There is fear, for a moment, but the man is a priest, he has to be nice and kindly, or at least proficient at exorcism, right?
But at this moment, standing in the circle, bored, listening to the man chant in Latin (honestly is there anything duller than Latin?) Annie can't help but think of George. He left them, she reminds herself, to live a better life with a woman who doesn't have to know that he's a werewolf, who doesn't have to live the dangerous life that they have, together, faced. But still, it hurts for a moment, a flash of why did he leave me?
And Mitchell.
And Mitchell, who Annie can't always pin down, who has been so caught up in whatever he's been doing with vampires and taking over for Herrick and a new girlfriend. She knows it's natural, to move apart, they couldn't stay together forever, could they? They're all grown ups (in a fashion) and this isn't some kind of fantasy. Annie has built fantasies, she's tired of them, she has to face what is real now. No more dreams and illusions of perfect.
But she doesn't know why, suddenly, she didn't say goodbye.
Although actually mostly she's bored, because this priest won't hurry up. How long is it actually supposed to take? Maybe Death doesn't want her anymore. Well wouldn't that be just like her life? Death is probably a man, she decides, fickle and impossible, because no woman would ever-
The chanting keeps droning, oh my god, Latin is the worst. The psychic brought to translate looks terminal. He'll likely die of boredom soon. At least that would create a door.
The door opening takes all three of their attention, and Annie is crossing over the candles because George, George. She's aware of words, and aware of replies, but she is so focused - no, George - she thinks, his transformation coming as she helps him up the stairs, up up up until he's safely in his cage.
Comms Sample: Hello-
[A pause, because maybe if they can't hear her - no, no, too late now, go go go!]
Hello! Is thing thing on? Oh-
[Thud thud on the microphone]
Um, hello, how is everyone this evening - day - actually, what is it, if we're in space, how do we tell? - oh, nevermind. Well, I hope. Anyway, I'm just popping on to say hello.
Hello.
[And then there's a bump, like maybe she meant to turn it off.]
Now we'll see, Mitchell-what do you mean it's still on? How does this-aha!
[And then the telltale disconnect]

Log Sample: Perhaps she shouldn't have asked if he could help her cross over. There is fear, for a moment, but the man is a priest, he has to be nice and kindly, or at least proficient at exorcism, right?
But at this moment, standing in the circle, bored, listening to the man chant in Latin (honestly is there anything duller than Latin?) Annie can't help but think of George. He left them, she reminds herself, to live a better life with a woman who doesn't have to know that he's a werewolf, who doesn't have to live the dangerous life that they have, together, faced. But still, it hurts for a moment, a flash of why did he leave me?
And Mitchell.
And Mitchell, who Annie can't always pin down, who has been so caught up in whatever he's been doing with vampires and taking over for Herrick and a new girlfriend. She knows it's natural, to move apart, they couldn't stay together forever, could they? They're all grown ups (in a fashion) and this isn't some kind of fantasy. Annie has built fantasies, she's tired of them, she has to face what is real now. No more dreams and illusions of perfect.
But she doesn't know why, suddenly, she didn't say goodbye.
Although actually mostly she's bored, because this priest won't hurry up. How long is it actually supposed to take? Maybe Death doesn't want her anymore. Well wouldn't that be just like her life? Death is probably a man, she decides, fickle and impossible, because no woman would ever-
The chanting keeps droning, oh my god, Latin is the worst. The psychic brought to translate looks terminal. He'll likely die of boredom soon. At least that would create a door.
The door opening takes all three of their attention, and Annie is crossing over the candles because George, George. She's aware of words, and aware of replies, but she is so focused - no, George - she thinks, his transformation coming as she helps him up the stairs, up up up until he's safely in his cage.
Comms Sample: Hello-
[A pause, because maybe if they can't hear her - no, no, too late now, go go go!]
Hello! Is thing thing on? Oh-
[Thud thud on the microphone]
Um, hello, how is everyone this evening - day - actually, what is it, if we're in space, how do we tell? - oh, nevermind. Well, I hope. Anyway, I'm just popping on to say hello.
Hello.
[And then there's a bump, like maybe she meant to turn it off.]
Now we'll see, Mitchell-what do you mean it's still on? How does this-aha!
[And then the telltale disconnect]
