Name: Sierra'est'a'ra'lian Ethel'stan ((Last name's meaning: << Ethelstan>> Noble-jewel, precious stone, or most noble. >> Origin: Saxon << )) Race: High Elf / Demon Incarnate
Age: Unknown
Height: 5ft 6''
Weight: 120 lbs ((Give or Take 50 pounds more with Armour))
Appearance:
Eyes: One of the elf maiden's most striking features are her strange eyes. Crystal bright, they shine a piercing and luminous gold. They hold both caring and warmth and a calming serenity eminates from them... but some who are sensatve to the emotions of others, can detect hints of a great and hidden sorrow. When Sierra turns to a more serious side of things, her gaze is feral-like in characteristic. The black pupils narrowing into cat-like slits. When she summons magic to her or embraces her oni spirit however, the eyes become more beast-like still... and finally they unfocus entirely into drowning pools of raging, golden flame. Like molten metal they are as bright as liquid gold, no traces of her pupil's at all, they emit an eerie golden glow.
Hair: The elf-maid's hair is straight as an arrow and falls to her ankles in a shimmering cascade of crimson. The red of her silken hair is so pure and rich in colour that when light gleams off the glistening lengths, you would swear that each strand was spun from the most perfect and brightly polished of rubies. Often when she moves, her tends to give off the illusion that the air around her is bleeding, for it looks alarmingly like freshly spilt blood. Sierra tends to wear her hair down, with just the sides taken back in delicate braids, ribbons of black and gold often intertwined. Rarely will she wear her hair up, but when she enters battle, it is always bound up in a long streaming banner of a pony tail. As well... when Sierra is transformed into her oni being, her hair is streaked with the black of void and darkness.
Skin: Sierra's skin is the paleness of silvery moonlight. Her milky complextion is a startling contrast to her dark robes and the blood red of her hair. It's as if she was sculpted deliactely of alabaster or of flawless white marble, often she seems almost translucent and ghostly in appearance.
Tattoos/Markings/Scars: Scars don't stay with Sierra long, a small gift from her oni lineage... Thus her skin remains flawless when battles past would have seen her horribly disfigured... Still she does have several complicated markings that marr her flesh. Although some only appear when she embraces her demon form or when she lifts her personal glamour that hide most of them.
Beneath her Eyes on her Cheeks she has black scrawling tattoos that look almost like vines curling across them. Anyone who know's Zell from FFIIX will have a good idea as to what they look like, although hers are more delicate and 'flow' more where as Zell's are jagged, they curve up the side of her face slightly, bracketing her eyes. These appear when she partially or completely shifts into her demon form.Across her shoulders and collarbone She has flowing celtic-esque tribal tattoo that follows the curve of her collar bones and dips slightly between her breasts forming a chevron. This also only appears in her oni form.
Her left upper arm has a tattoo of a sakura blossom, the five petals inwardly gradient from black outlines to blood red. It has four tiny, black feathered wings. Beneath it is a tribal arm band with runes woven into the line work. The Cherry blossom is a symbol of her standard and she rarely hides it from sight, unless it's under a sleeve, but the arm band she will hide occassionaly... not often though, only if it conflicts with the appearance of her outfit.
The backs of her Right and Left Hands as well as her forearms also bear markings when she shifts form. Her Left hand bears the ancient elven rune for Darkness and her right the matching Rune for Fire. They are both surrounded by more celtic-esque markings that branch up her arms to just bellow her elbows.
Her Right Hip Has a tattoo of a black rose, thorned and bleeding that she doesn't cover.
Her Back Has lifesized celtic wing tattoos of her four black feathered wings. These only fade when she brings her actual wings forth from her body and the tattoos are lost beneath the ebony feathers.
Her Legs also bear tribal tattoos when she shifts to her oni form, they spread from her ankles up towards her thighs.
Wings: Sierra has four black feathered wings, the upper set being larger and the bottom one's being smaller. She uses her wings as both a tool of flight and an offensive/defensive device. Upper-Wing Span: 9ft.
Lower-Wing Span: 7ft - 7.5ft
Offensively: Sierra will use her wings to beat her opponents with hammering blows that can easily stun them or break bones with their crushing force. Her wings are also amazingly adept at acting as extra limbs and 'wrapping' around arms or legs or even torsos and
ensnaring her prey.Defensively: Her Feathers, while although soft to touch are as resilliant as dragon scales and therefore make a natural shield to wrap about herself, should she need it.
Tail: Sierra's tail tends to think independantly from her, but when they fight they flow together in perfect sync. Her tail also acts as a snare and snakes out to wrap aroound limbs... but the tip her tail is hard and sharp as any blade making it twice as dangerous... but to make it even more formidable... Sierra will sometimes adorn a 'tail spine'. Custom made tail armour with serated spikey blades running down the plates. Sierra's tail is named 'Adema' and when Adema isn't playing rear guard in combat, She likes tormenting people and her favourite past time is stealing people's hats. She has a natural knack for getting Sierra into all kinds of trouble.
Brief History:
HISTORY Born of the High Elf, Lord E'karis Ethel'stan and the Kastian Healer Lady Shay'llen'dria, Sierra was raised in the city of Celest'au'rin'nen'thas. Her father was one of the 12 elven elders seated on the Celestial Council, he sat in the 3rd seat of power. The Council, is the strongest power next to the Royal Family and they Govern most of the race. Originally they started out training her for the council, Seeing as how she showed such tremendous potential... They also groomed her for the life of a courtier.
The Elf King was assisinated and his wife out of grief followed closely behind, leaving their only son and heir to take the throne. But he was young and not of age, so they appointed him a regent... And replaced all his advisors with elven diplomats and scholars hand picked by the council. Thus the council was in control of the entire race. They also investigated the King's death and when they ruled it an accident most people's suspicions that it was foul play were confirmed. But None said so allowed since any who spoke against the council dissapeared.
The council's plan was to make Sierra one of them and then arrange a marriage between her and the king taking full and official control of the kingdom. However, reminding themselves of the prophecy, they began to see her as a threat When she would get emotional she'd lose control of her abilities and things would go awry. The council decided to put her to death and seek out the other three children. Her mother found out and made plans to run away with Sierra, but her father stopped them. He killed Her mother right in front of her and went to kill her. Sierra for the very first time ever, lost complete control and shifts into her Demon form.
She ripped and hacked her father apart and destroyed the entire city, Killing everyone, ((since without control she's completely insane and the Demon entity is in control)). When she awoke she was laying in a pool of her childhood friend's blood and the city was a blaze... decimated. The temple lay in ruin, only the staues of the Fire And Darkness Goddesses remained standing and unscathed.
Only a handful of the council members and those off visiting in other cities or outlaying twons survived. The few surviving council members started rebuilding their power base and spread news of the demon child and proclaimed her a dark elf.
Overcome with the horror of what she'd done, she withdrew into herself and went insane, wandering for weeks in the forest. She started to waste away and was so lost in delusion she started destroying her own mind, Until a traveler and his son happened across her. The man fed and cared for her and eventually she warmed up to him, The man who became her sensei makes sure she gets her training and education completed ((in the city of Parenthia)) and finally makes her realize that she's not evil and she although still burdened with guilt comes to peace with herself and accepts what she is, learning the fine art of self control.
As she got older Her and Her Sensei and his son traveled around as sell swords to survive and plan for the liberation of their people. It wasn't until after a horrific battle that claimed her Sensei's life... ((For which she blames Shinigami for not being there for his father when he needed him most...)) That Sierra found her way to Gaia, lost and gravely wounded. Over time she healed herself and founded a place that she could call home... The Dark Sakura Blossom Guild. This place would also become a safe haven for those beings who were lost and misunderstood as she was.
DEMON HISTORY The elves basically being the semi-immortal guardian's of the earth were once a united people. They combined their magic and created four demon guardian's to help guard the earth and protect their race from things like ogre's or other races who saught to defile the earth or harm the elven people.
When the elf wars errupted, the once harminous powers that had created the demon entities, conflicted within them and no longer they protected the elves but they rampaged and were driven to destruction.
A few clans managed to capture the demons and upon recieving orders from the council... to slay them. They were afraid that one of the enemy clans would find a way to command them and use them as a weapon, which would ultimately tip the balance of the war and the powers of command.
There was a prophet though who foretold that the demons would be reborn in the elven future, in elven blood that was not yet tainted with malice or corruption. The four children and amongst them was Sierra.
At first the girls just seem to be favoured by the Gods and show high potential in the areas of magery, But as they get older, their powers begin to expand and become erratic as the demon souls begin to show more and more.
The first demon, was born of Earth, Water and Ice. The Second of Air, Light and the Healing Holy magics. The third was The Fire, Darkness/Shadow Demon and the fourth... The demon of Lightning, Thunder and Wind.
Possesing tremendous elemental powers of Fire and Darkness, Sierra's Oni Spirit is one of the most ruthless and deadly when provoked ((Kit's being the only one surpassing Sierra's in agressive nature)). This entity's weapon is the demon sword Mraer'ith, her dragon summon is the great and ancient red/black Dragon Asai.
Skills:
FIGHTING STYLE Sierra fights with a strange and un-named style. Combining various medieval and asian techniques and combining them with dance, gymnastic flexibility and elven grace, it is something truly all her own.

ABILITIES
Familliar/Main Summon: Sierra befriends creatures easily but her main two companions are a tiny, black winged cat with golden eyes that comes by the name of 'Yume No Sakura'. She usually takes shape no larger than a regular house cat, but she can grow as large as a smally pony. As Sierra's familliar the cat is never far from it's mistress and is constantly relaying all that befalls it's golden gaze to her through mind link.
Sierra's summon, something that was hers by right when she was recognized as the demon incarnate of Fire and Darkness... is the Ancient Red and Black Dragon Asai. A massive beast Asai serves her mistress loyally and would split any who oppose her lady, belly open with the flick of a claw given a choice. Not much is known about Asai's human form as she rarely takes it.
SOUND - Innate/Learned Abilities
Demon's Cry - An ear piercing shriek known to have ruptured many an eardrum. It is a cry that registers roughly 250 decibels.
Lullaby - This ability requires a spell to be sung in elvish. Depending on which lullaby is sung, the spell will have a different effect. It can have a calming effect, it can induce sleep... or it can be used to place someone in a hypnotic trance. This technique is strengthened when coupled with empathetic projection.
Voice of Velvet - The ability to manipulate the sound of one's voice. Also strengthened when coupled with empathetic ability.
EMPATHY - Innate Ability
Sierra is a powerful empath. Her abilities on this channel vary depending on the opponent.
- Against someone who is unguarded by emotional manipulation she can cause their emotions to run amok.
- She can trigger an emotional break down, or she can cause someone to experience the ultimate high.
- Feelings towards those around them are open to being played with as well.
- She can trigger very potent lust that is easily mistaken for 'love' by the one who is charmed.
- If someone is already feeling a strong emotion like love, depression or anger and hatred... they are more susceptible to being manipulated. Although... if someone is feeling one of these, triggering an emotion that directly opposes it is less successful.
- As well as being used as an offensive/defensive trait it can be used for good. It is often used to sooth people from fits of panic or terror.
TELEPATHY - Innate Ability
- Like her empathy it varies in success.
- It is used more as a form of Communication than as a weapon, although if she comes up against another psychic she relies on it for defence.
- Just because she doesn't use it much, doesn't mean she isn't adept at it. Her strength in this area lay in guarding her mind or unravelling barriers placed about another's.
- While she can read thoughts if someone is concentrating on a specific subject without shielding, more often she will just get a jumbled image of inner objects too confusing for her to make sense of.
- She can however, if pushed into lashing out defensively... trigger a landslide of memories, causing her opponent to relive them as they blind their mind temporarily. ((Sometimes this will have a backlash effect and stun Sierra.))
- Mostly she avoids direct interaction with another's thoughts. She carries enough demons of her own to be burdened by another's past.
- This is the reason she avoids using her telepathy for battle purposes. When fighting one's most primal emotions are engaged and linked with her empathy, it becomes too overwhelming/distracting for her as well as no little bit painful.
ILLUSIONS - Learned Ability
- Enhanced by her telepathy and empathy.
- Less effective against those who are skilled in guarding themselves against manipulation of the senses.
- Her illusions effect ALL the senses. If ensnared, her opponent will be able to taste/touch/see/hear everything as if it were real.
- Her illusions when cast against someone who is unguarded or unskilled in defense against this kind of magic, are often more believable than reality.
- The smaller the illusion, the more effective it is and less likely to be noticed.
ENERGY MANIPULATION - Innate/Learned Ability
- Partially a psychic trait, but mostly innate ability.
- If elemental or energy based attacks are cast at her she will manipulate them... UNLESS, the energy is personal energy (ex. Ki or spirit energy), or if the opponent holds onto the energy and guides the attack 'til it completes it's course. In which case she would have to wrest the control from them which takes too much effort/exertion. In such as case it is easier/more effective to counter it.
- She can manipulate natural, unclaimed energies or 'orphaned' energies and feed them into her own shielding and attacks to strengthen/reinforce them.
:: Note :: Sierra does not relinquish control of her energies and in the case of Fire and Darkness elemental attacks... they are drawn from a personal store of energy and created of herself. Thus they CAN NOT be manipulated, only shielded against or countered.
THE ELEMENTS - Innate/Learned Ability
- She is able to call/create all elements as nature is composed of each and she is daughter of Eden, created of the elements and given life from Gaia's essence.
- Fire/Darkness ~ An elven demon created to guard and rule over these elements. They are as much a part of her as being an elf and come to her as naturally as breathing. They are her and she is them. She is dominantly a Pyro-Mage although her Dark Magicks and Shadowmancy is just as strong.
- The Golden Flame ~ Her personal flame. It is not natural nor wild fire, it is created from her own essence. When she wields her hand of fire, she will usually call on THIS flame as it stronger than regular fire and can be manipulated into behaving differently, Making it more reliable.
- Light/Holy Magicks are her weakness. She will not use these unless necessary for they conflict with her tainted blood as she is a demon incarnate. And even if she is the one casting them, they will have a directly negative effect on her... think of it as an allergic reaction.
- The only time she regularly calls on these two elements is in her shielding. Her shielding is unique in that she fashions a metaphysical weave out of all the elements so that it acts as net against anything thrown at her and doesn't sag, weaken or give in anywhere. When she does, it is such a small quantity of the elements that she can bear the discomfort they present her.
SUMMONING - Learned Ability
- Sierra is known to coerce elemental or supernatural creatures from other planes of existence into battle to fight for her.
- Nothing is free though. Usually she will end up paying a price for such aide outside of the battle. But since she rarely fights she tends to build up 'credit' allowing her to call on the aide without fear when she needs it most.
BLOOD SPEAKING - Demonic Ability
- A form of Voodoo that deals with Blood instead of the flesh.
- Can be used both offensively and defensively
- It can allow her to redirect the flow of blood throughout the body, or stop the flow entirely.
- The more blood spilt, hers or her opponent's... the more power she will gain.
- If she is using blood magic, her wounds will heal/regenerate at an accelerated rate.
- If she 'seals' her opponents blood, it is the equivalent to her possessing a voodoo doll of that being.

Defensively: Her Feathers, while although soft to touch are as resilliant as dragon scales and therefore make a natural shield to wrap about herself, should she need it.
Tail: Sierra's tail tends to think independantly from her, but when they fight they flow together in perfect sync. Her tail also acts as a snare and snakes out to wrap aroound limbs... but the tip her tail is hard and sharp as any blade making it twice as dangerous... but to make it even more formidable... Sierra will sometimes adorn a 'tail spine'. Custom made tail armour with serated spikey blades running down the plates. Sierra's tail is named 'Adema' and when Adema isn't playing rear guard in combat, She likes tormenting people and her favourite past time is stealing people's hats. She has a natural knack for getting Sierra into all kinds of trouble.
Claws: When in her demonic form she has the ability to lengthen her nails, more like retractable claws as you'd see with a cat.

EQUIPMENT:
Travelling Pack: Contains - Grappling Hook, Map, Lock Pick Set, Two lengths of rope, Water skin, trail rations, Bandages, Notebook, Extra throwing knives, an extra dagger and a sleeping roll, and canvas for a shelter.
Two tiny pouches tucked in her sash...
- One contains ground fire weed... A powder that burns and inflames the eyes or skin wherever it touches. A cheap trick, but used only when absolutely necessary.
- The other contains ear plugs. Should she encounter an opponent who will try and use sound against her... She will use these to protect her hearing from such a devestating weakness. She will then follow their movements by sight and by sensing their 'metaphysical' self. Which means she see's a second image of the person by following their spiritual energy. While not everyone's is very strong, everyone has it... so the success of such a tactic varries.

Armor
Armor:
