.:Personality:.  Sienne is fiercely protective of people she cares about, especially Zoran, her bravery is shown in how she is willing to put her own life in danger for the sake of her son every time she has to fight to keep him safe from people who mean to harm him. She is cautious of outsiders as the majority of people they come across in the deadzone would pose a threat to Zoran and she can’t afford to lower her guard because if she does then it could cost Zoran his life. Despite being cautious of those outside of her family, she is willing to help people if she is sure that they are not a threat to her family, although people whom she can trust don’t come around too often.
.:Special Skills:.  She is good at tracking animals and finding water, she had had to develop this skill in order to survive without a clan to fall back on. She is also good at handling knives and manoeuvring her way through the desert. She isn't particularly good at using larger weapons such as swords and axes as she finds it easier to travel light through the deadzone and is out of practise with using large weapons, she prefers to use easily concealable weapons.

.:Birthplace:. Sankru
.:Family:. Osias (Husband), Zoran (Son)
.:Occupation:. Nomadic Grounder, previously a Sankru warrior
.:History:. Sienne was born into Sankru and grew up in a village located within the desert. She had intense loyalty and love for her clan and everyone within it and never imagined leaving, there had been no reason for her to leave. Her family were there and her husband hadn’t voiced any desires to leave their clan behind. When she discovered she was pregnant, she was happy despite knowing the risks of bringing a child into the world, Osias was just as happy to find out that he was going to be a father and with the protection of their clan Sienne pushed her worries to the back of her mind. However, when the baby came she knew that something was wrong, the look on the healer’s face as he looked at the newborn was something that Sienne never thought she would forget. He looked at her baby at first as if it wasn’t human and then when he handed him to her, the expression on his face was one of deep sadness and regret. When she looked at her child, she knew why, the deformity on his face was something that was hard to miss. Sienne knew what would be expected of her if the child lived through the night, she would be expected to leave him out there, away from their village, without any protection and he would die out there alone.

She didn’t want that for her child, she gave him a name despite people in the village telling her not to get attached to something that wouldn’t be in her life for long anyway. Then when daylight came the next morning and Zoran was still alive, she decided that she would leave Sankru, to keep the baby safe as she would not be allowed to keep him if she chose to stay. Telling Osias of her plan to leave, he agreed to leave with her so that they could keep their son safe. They left that morning, packing very little for their journey as they didn’t want anyone to suspect anything, they wanted them to think that they were leaving to ‘take care’ of the child, they didn’t need to know where they were really going, nor did they suspect as not many parents deserted the clan for the sake of a child that didn’t even deserve to live.

At first it was hard for them to adjust to life on their own without the support of their village, especially when they had to care for a baby as well but they survived. The real struggle came when Zoran got older, when he was a baby it had been easy to conceal his face from people that they passed that might pose a threat to him, but as he got older it became harder to keep him hidden from travellers. Their first big scare came when Zoran was still quite small, they’d taken their eyes off of him for just a second and when they’d turned back to face him, he was gone. That was their first mistake as they found that their son had managed to locate a traveller who must’ve seen him as a threat, despite being just a child that wasn’t capable of hurting anybody. Luckily, they arrived before any harm could come to him but from that moment on, they insisted that he keep his face covered whenever there was a chance that he might be seen by somebody. Sienne and Osias weren’t just wandering around in the deadzone without a plan, they had a plan, they’d heard rumours about a place where Zoran would be safe and wouldn’t have to worry about his deformity. The city of light was the destination that they had in mind, they didn’t know if they would find it, but for the sake of their son, they had to try.
