Sawyer is Black, his parents were originally from the West Indies before moving to the states - Sawyer was born in Montana.
Tex is, as far as he knows for most of his life, Irish. his dad came over when he was an adult and met a woman that he then got pregnant. she died when Tex was eighteen months old and his dad never really talked about her - it's only when he tracks his dad down much later in life that he learns his mother's mother was Osage and also had a child with a white guy (Tex's mom). he doesn't know his maternal grandfather's heritage at all.
#desperate hollow#lauren answers things#I've got to go record dashboard diaries now but I love this!#keep sending things folks!#all this stuff is subject to change to an extent#I still need to get sensitivity readers to read a draft#so some minor details may change#but for the most part both these characters are influenced by real life examples#for all intents and purposes in how he experiences the world Tex is white#but it was important to me to have my version of the wild west be filled with the actual historical reality#which is a lot of queer people and POC!#though also it should be noted that most outlaws were white!#bc white men felt they could do whatever they wanted#which is what tex is sort of taught to believe by Barlowe
