novilunium❧ Canon Point
Sierra is taken from the current timeline. Following the events of Suikogaiden and Suikoden II, Sierra lingered briefly with the Dunan Army before roaming the lands, observing humans more closely and and allowing herself to reside in locations for months at a time. Sierra was likely not in the Zexen or Grasslands conflict area during the events of Suikoden III, and I'll be taking her as if she freshly arrived in the area after the war simmered down.
❧ Appearance
Sierra is youthful in appearance, 'cursed' with the perpetual looks of a sixteen-year-old. She is extremely fair-skinned, bordering on a sickly pale, has silver hair pulled back by a blue cloth, and striking red eyes. She wears a loose, white long-sleeved shirt over a light blue short skirt, and sports over-the-knee white leggings with a blue and purple cuff and blue shoes. Sierra can usually be seen with a blue and purple cape around her, fastened with intricate green and silver jewels that also adorn her all cuffs.
In battle, Sierra retains the same appearance, not favouring any weapons or armour. She bears the Moon Rune, a Darkness Rune, and a Thunder Rune on her weapon, which are her claws. Sierra is also capable of transforming into a rather cute white bat that looks more like a chinchilla.
❧ History (in progress) ✄
Born in SC -391, Sierra inherited the Moon Rune in SC -375 when she was sixteen through unknown circumstances. As a result of the possession of the rune, Sierra doesn't appear to have aged a bit despite being approximately 850 years old. Initially, under the influence of the Moon Rune, Sierra took the lives of many innocents due to her sudden overwhelming need to feast upon blood. Remorseful and afraid of these urges that would overcome her, Sierra eventually escaped into a forest, finding solace in an abandoned cottage. She lived in isolation within this cottage for decades, learning to gain control of the Moon Rune, until one day a young knight arrived at her doorstep, mortally wounded from an ambush. This man was Rean Penenberg. Rean won over Sierra's sympathy by being quite chivalrous (and also quite handsome), showing concern for his liege in his last few moments despite his lethal wounds, and so she saved his life by turning him into a vampire. The two then fell in love and lived happily together for hundreds of years. These were some of Sierra's most precious moments.
Eventually Sierra founded the Moon Village, a village of vampires. She set the Moon Rune on an altar within the village, allowing vampires to exist without the consumption of blood, and for a time the place thrived. Eventually, however, a new member of the village became greedy and stole the Moon Rune. This man was Neclord. Following the loss of the Moon, vampires within the village were faced with two fates. Without the nourishment from the Moon rune's powers, the vampires either went mad and preyed upon innocent humans, or condemned themselves to die quietly. Sierra herself was immune to this, and so she could only watch as her friends slowly died or lost themselves to their bloodlust. Since this event, Sierra has been in search of the Moon rune, plucking off any renegade vampires that she encounters along the way.

Suikogaiden
Suikoden II
Sierra has an unapproachable demeanor, and seems to exude either arrogance and haughtiness or a curiosity similar to that of a cat admiring its surroundings. Despite these qualities, however, she can be surprisingly pleasant if engaged in the right way, and she is particularly favorable towards handsome young men.
Sierra can be prickly in nature, being particularly sensitive to being called old, a hag, ugly, a kid (all valid remarks), or anything along those lines. When her temper flares she can become quite nasty, not hesitating to use her power as a show of force (typically manifesting in zaps of electricity around her).

While under the power of the Moon Rune, vampires do not need to feed on blood. Without it, however, they will either go in search of humans to feast upon or take their own life. Being the owner of the rune itself, Sierra does not feel a uncontrollable hunger for blood, however she appears to have no aversion to taking blood from those willing to give it up.
Vampires created using the Moon Rune are not immortal, but live for extraordinarily long periods of time. Sierra is an exception to this, being immortal due to her ownership of the True Rune. In addition, vampires created using the Moon Rune (aka 'Runic vampires') have more tolerance for holy weapons and sunlight, and can transform into bats at will. As a result, Sierra appears to be only mildly irritated when out and about in the daylight, although she still prefers to sleep in the day, being fully active in the nighttime.
