SKILLS: She's a quick learner, just in the past few months she's learned to climb trees, hunt for and kill her own food, and how to get along with people.
Not half bad for a girl who grew up in a cage, huh? She also speaks Portugese, as well as English, and has picked up a little Swahili along the way as well.
FAMILY: All family is deceased.
HISTORY: It seems like life has been out to get this girl. Born in a small, impoverished village in Brazil, her parents were killed in a fire before she was two. Her grandmother stepped in and raised her until she was thirteen, when the old woman took sick. Too poor to pay for medication, Avo` died, and Sierra was forced to take to the streets in the next town over. She wasn't there too long, however.
A man named Carlos found her and lured her in, promising to take care of her. With the trusting heart of a child, Sierra believed him, and allowed him to inject her with the serum that would turn her into a lycan. As it turned out, the man was lycan himself, and the owner of a traveling carnival. You know the sort..where people come to watch sad-looking animals perform tricks for food. Sierra became his star attraction, and for the next six years, he shifted her in and out of her pretty red scales for the entertainment of strangers. It was a horrible life. One night, Carlos' assistant Andre left the tiger's cage unlatched. Tao, beaten and starved, escaped and went on a rampage. Both men were killed, and the big cat took off into the night. In the confusion that followed, the authorities who came to rescue the rest of the animals didn't notice one slender little red snake as she slipped away to nearby Nashville. She read about Tao in a newspaper a day or two later, grateful that merciful humans had finally put the animal out of his misery.
