Sparrow is what you would call; a unique woman. Raised as a child in a tribe of Native American's, she was brought up to be a free spirited character. As it was, she is a bit TOO free spirited. The reason for her name is easily seen with how she acts and how she moves. She is always moving from one thing to the next, always flitting from place to place, never stopping to rest much. Sparrow's mind is always thinking and always on the go. She thinks of different things that make no sense, or just daydreams about her fantasies. She is seen as a bit childish, due to her curiosity over the smallest of things. Due to being raised out in the outback instead of near more civilizations, she doesn't know much of the term of 'modern' in the least. Heck, she seen a gun before, but never one up close. In this case, Sparrow can get pretty distracted by new things that catches her attention. With the way she was raised and grew, she is not much of a talker, but when she has questions or someone asks her questions, she starts talking. Even if it's only one line or two at a time. To get her to say more, would more or less deal with something very important.

Unfortunately, like any in her tribe, she pushed to have herself taught how to fight and protect herself. When she was finally taught how to fight, Sparrow ended up adopting the saying; hit first, ask questions later. When someone or something surprises her--which she actually dislikes happening to her--she tends to react by punching or kicking out automatically. Then she would ask what happened or who the person was. Even though, this doesn't make Sparrow a fighting hungry female. She is actually very kind, and understands that the only reason she fights is in a form of protection of herself or to others that need protection when they can't do it themselves. It is clear by how her mind works, that she is a smart young woman, with a very strong will. And like a bird, she can't be kept inside of a cage. Otherwise, she would just up an die.

Sparrow's past is a interesting one, considering that she's not a full Native American in the least. As a baby, Sparrow was born as Dawn Budgie. A baby girl in a good and basic family. She was also born in Avalon, believe it or not. For five years, she fed off of the fruit and food there, and as a Avalonian, her lifespan was considered to last long like any other one. Then tragedy struck, as her family was killed out in the outskirts of Avalon. Little baby Dawn was taken away, and thrown in the deserts of a unknown place. Outside of Avalon's protection. The next thing to happen, was a pack of wolves finding the little baby. It was her cries, that called the beasts towards her. But as they came, they did not eat her, instead took up the baby and ran off with the bundle as she had stopped crying. It was two days later, when a tribe of Native American's passing by found the baby in the jaws of one of the wolves that found her. She was close to death, and the chief of that tribe took her in as his own. Like a gift from the Spirits. Since then, she had been raised as one of their own and as the chief's daughter.

Years went by, and the truth of Dawn's real name was never found out. But that didn't stop them from giving her a new name. Sparrow The Swift. Even as a little girl, she was fast. Always running around, quick like a bird, always balanced in what she did. She was a bright girl, growing up in the tribe. Even though her coloring was completely different from theirs, she loved her family dearly as well as the others in the tribe.

It was at the age of thirteen that a Outsider soon came to her tribe. He was a man considered a Asian among the White Men. He was also not considered one of them. Taking in the Yellow Skin, Sparrow became completely curious of him, and would bother and talk with him daily. It was then she notice him doing strange moves, that he called 'Karate' that got her interest. She asked to learn about that from him, but he declined. That didn't stop her from copying him each time he did it. At the end of it, he gave in, and soon taught her the basic's of how to move and formations to use when she did it. Sparrow was a smart one at that. For not only did she learn how to use this 'Karate' to her advantage, she also combined it with a bit of her tribe's fighting style into it. She was a big tomboy, basically, growing up in her tribe. The time came though, for him to leave when he was well enough, and said their goodbyes to each other. Since that day, she always practiced fighting. Even though what she did was weird, none in the tribe singled her out. The tribe was like one huge family to each other, a peaceful one.

As two years passed, that's when the true talent within Sparrow became known, when she tapped into spiritual magic. She used it once, to speak with the birds or ravens that flew at the outskirts of her tribe's campsite once or twice. As chief, and her step-father, Sparrow's guardian took her to the side and told her of the gift she had. She was soon put through training with the tribe's Shaman, and as such, she had to be away from some of her tribe for a certain amount of time. Years passed, as Sparrow learned what she was able to do, practiced her fighting style, and became more and more curious as the time went by. At the time she turned into a young woman, the time for her to find a husband, Sparrow did no such thing. She stuck with her studies seriously. Never once, stopping what she was doing, since she wanted to finish it.

Then the rumors came, about how huge groups of people were traveling to a place called Camelot. Due to something happening in these people's home, they were seeking refugee. The chief went to Sparrow, telling her it the truth of how they found her. He said it was time for her to leave the tribe, and to find the truth of who she really is. To search out and grow more then she could while with them. With given the few supplies she could carry, Sparrow went on her journey. Heading to the place known as Camelot, and hoping to find answers to what she did not even know where to start at.
