He has mainly blonde hair, with streaks of brown anywhere in there, not usually in just one place. He usually just considers his hair color to be dirty blonde, even if it isn't that exactly. Most of the time, his hair is quiffed up. Most of the time his quiff is Spiky (clickable) but sometimes he lets it be a bit more less organized like this (clickable) He has dark brown eyes that are almost identical (in color) to those little brown streaks in his hair. Surprisingly, his face doesn't have too many marks or pimples, at least that he lets people see, sometimes they could be covered up by his hair..
Terrance stands at a pretty average height, five feet nine inches, weighing about one hundred and twenty pounds or so. He doesn't really have any kind of noticeable mustache or beard, but there are little hairs around there, but he does shave often, or as often as someone in District Seven who works a lot can. Usually, Terr wears a plain colored t-shirt and jeans, but sometimes he dresses up for a special occasion, like for a new awkward job interview he'd probably dress responsible, to make him look like a good kind of babysitter, which he definitely is.
Terrance Sawdust always tries to look on the bright side of life. For example, he never lets not being rich or even close to it get to him. He never lets anyone know he's feeling down about something, being happy for whoever's being down, trying to make them feel happy. He always tries to keep himself perky and nice, for the sake of his younger siblings. They need an older brother to look up to, and himself and his brother Wynn were the only ones left to do that. They had their older sisters, too. But, they needed all the love they could get if their parents were always working.
Terrance Sawdust isn't all about his family, however. He always cares for everyone he meets and knows, always giving them compliments to help them with their self-esteem, even if it was good enough already. Even if the people were in the worst moods they could ever be in, Terr always tried to brighten up their day with a compliment. Even if it didn't work, he liked to see the least bit of a smile on their face. He loved to make people smile, especially if it made their day better and better, but if it didn't, he'd always try another compliment. He'd also try jokes if the person didn't like compliments. Even though they weren't hilarious, Terrance's humorous side could sometimes brighten up a day.. that is if they can understand his confusing jokes. He's very outgoing.
Terrance may seem like a really nice person, but inside, he actually isn't. For one thing, he's terribly dishonest with people, trying to comfort them and telling them 'its okay, don't worry' when it isn't okay and they should worry. It bugs him so much, but its something he has to do to remain optimistic. Sometimes he even has to lie when it comes to compliments, just to make people happy. Terr also gets nervous a lot when it comes to having to be asked questions when getting interviewed for a new job. He's all like 'Okay, just do it for your little siblings.' And even with all those nerves, he still is usually recommended.
Terrance Sawdust, in the early years of his life, never really felt extraordinary. Year after year his parents had more and more kids, and there were some before him, too. In total, they had more than ten. He was born 6th of what seemed to be countless numbers of children. The two oldest are long gone from the household, then there are triplets, Wynn, Leaf, and Phoebe. Then Terrance, his sister Remedy, then Kane, Talon, and his youngest sister, Ella. He seemed to really care about his siblings, they all need as much love and care as they can. Terrance wanted all of his siblings to be proud that they're a sawdust kid. Because with a family of ten kids, and two parents, money is hard to keep up with. To feed ten kids at least two meals a day is almost as much as what his father got paid every week. And then they had payments for their house, and it all began to get too much. Terrance, along with his older siblings, had to start working to help their family get by.
Terrance decided to babysit for people, which was something he actually liked to do. Just like he wanted for his siblings, he wanted the kids he watched over to be strong mentally and physically, be the best person they could be. Terrance used to babysit everyday after school, which was another thing he had to help pay for, but then his grandma died. His grandma used to take care of his younger siblings. So Terrance was optimistic about it and stopped working on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays to watch over his younger siblings, even though a lot of them were old enough that they didn't need watching. That left him to work on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and any last minute changes that he needed to watch a kid for one of the families. It got him enough money to help his parents pay for a lot of food that Terrance was glad to eat, even if he didn't always like it. He could never say no to his mother or father, he had to be nice to them so everything would seem okay to his siblings, the ones that didn't really know that they were in a financial crisis.
Terrance has always been dedicated to helping out his family, and other families, but he never really tried to find some time to himself. One day, he wants to just have no care in the world.. just for one day. One day of relaxation. One day, he wants it to happen. Ever since he was fourteen it was always work Terrance, for your family Terrance. They need all the help they can get Terrance. But someday it'll happen, and he'll always be waiting for it.
