| - | <b>Sierra</b> comes from the video game series [[Suikoden]] and specifically comes from shortly after the end of Suikoden II. Since she has her True Rune back, I assume that she has access to all of the powers and abilities that Neclord used during the Suikoden games. Not that she would <i>use</i> ones that required a hundred human sacrifices, of course.<br>

| - | Sierra is bored easily. This really is the central fact of her existence, after having been alive so long-- now that her main task is out of the way and she has nothing to do but sit back and defend her rune from being stolen (not a difficult feat, since she's so far as anyone knows the oldest True Rune bearer of the bunch), she just needs to keep herself entertained. This is doubly important for her since she doesn't have the option of giving up the rune to someone else and ending her own existence (as the section on the Moon Rune will make evident). This ennui is the reason she's in Desai, for one, and the reason why she does a lot of the things she does there.

| - | That aside, she's difficult to impress. But once you do manage it, she'll respect you-- probably not as an equal and definitely not as her better, but respect nonetheless. She tends to keep people at arm's length because she's been burned one too many times by people close to her, and the fact that she hasn't been human for a very, very long time means she has trouble understanding the human mindset at times.

| - | == Background ==
| + | |
| - | Absolutely nothing is known about Sierra's life before she acquired her True Rune, except that she is the oldest living (ha) character revealed thus far in the series. After acquiring the Moon Rune (judging by her appearance, while she was still in her mid to late teens), she fled civilization to live alone in the woods in her insanity. Over the years she gradually gained control over herself and her power, but still elected to stay isolated from humans. Rumors about a vampiress in the forest tend to grow, however, especially as the surrounding human populace does. People who were dying or who wanted to escape their lives trickled into the forest looking for her "blessing."

| - | This group of benevolent vampires (including one who eventually became Sierra's lover, <b>Rean Penenberg</b>) lived in what the mun likes to think of as "the hippie vampire commune." It even got to the point that Sierra relinquished possession of her rune and made it the communal property of the village. Despite making the rune communal, Sierra remained the leader of the group (her title is generally cited as "coven mistress"). This arrangement worked out quite well until a member of the group gave in to the inevitable case of megalomania (or, perhaps more likely, was influenced by the Moon Rune itself) and stole the rune. The loss of the Moon Rune meant that vampires in the village-- with the sole exception of Sierra, thanks to her previous mastery of the rune-- faced the choice of either turning to their dark, insane sides and living on human blood or dying. A few chose to stay in the village with Sierra and die, but most of them scattered to become the feared vampire menace people in the present Suikoden world live in fear of.

| - | The rune thief, who styled himself the vampire prince <b>Neclord</b>, spent several centuries wreaking havoc by destroying towns, kidnapping lovely young ladies, and just generally being a bad Dracula ripoff. Sierra spent these years as a vampire hunter, destroying her former allies as she found them while she looked for an opportunity to take her rune back from Neclord. Eventually, she met up with [[Nash Latkje]], a young swordsman who was looking for information on True Runes. She agreed to help him, but this turned out to be a total ploy so she could use him as her backup in killing the next vampire on her list-- Rean, her ex-lover. Sierra destroyed Rean with her <b>Song of Evanescence</b> spell (detailed in the Moon Rune section), and she and Nash parted ways for the time being. Why did Sierra leave? Because she'd finally found Neclord.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Neclord, in his ever-increasing need for power, had graduated from destroying villages to destroying major cities-- specifically, the powerful city-state of Tinto. Sierra joined forces with the hero of Suikoden II, a vampire hunter, and the bearer of the <b>Night Rune</b> (albeit in unorthodox form, also detailed under the Moon Rune section) to destroy Neclord. Sierra literally stole the rune right back off of Neclord's hand, which allowed the vampire hunter to use barrier magic against Neclord and the the Night Rune to strike the killing blow.

| - | And this is where Sierra's background for the game ends, since she was brought into the game immediately following Suikoden II.
