9 Facts about... Sierra
15 years ago
General
So I was tagged by 
Ktar_Aramee to do the 9 facts meme. The rules are to post 9 facts about the character requested, and then tag 8 people to post the facts of one of their characters. So here we go...
Fact #1 Sierra had been learning martial arts virtually since she could walk. Her father started by teaching her with playing and games. He was afraid that since he ran with biker gangs and was a bouncer at a bar she needed to be safe. He wanted her to be well adjusted and strong. She went to various martial arts schools and mastered many styles. When she was bit by the fighting bug she began competing in any arena she could.
Fact #2 Sierra is very insecure. She has low self esteem. In her mind she knows she is one of the best out there, but her heart doesn't agree. Everything she does is to convince herself as much as anyone else that she's worthwhile. She doesn't really beleive she's attractive or strong or anything. That's part of why she hates pre fight trash talk for events.
Fact #3 Sierra herself ran with a biker gang heavy into criminal activity including drug running. She was addicted to drugs herself. "If I thought it might make me high... up the nose it went." A wakeup call when one of her "sisters" who was hooked on meth had a baby and she watched both the mother and the baby pass away. She kicked the drug habit and left the gang, wanting to try and keep that fate from hitting as many people as she could.
Fact #4 Sierra still has one substance abuse problem. Big Macs from McDonalds. She can't get enough of them.
Fact #5 Sierra can't have children. Aside from the death of the baby in #3 she focuses on being a good example towards children, trying to inspire them and empower them as a way to cope with her inabaility to have a baby. She hides it well, but deep inside it really bothers.
Fact #6 Sierra is a professional boxer really just because it simply appeals to her more. she really can't pinpoint why. But she's fought in just about every type of combat sport. She'll box, kickbox, MMA, wrestle, street fight as long as it doesn't seem like her opponent is at any kind of major disadvantage. If she feels an opponent is too inexperienced or too out of shape she will refuse.
Fact #7 Sierra is mechanically enclined. Being a biker and from a family line of bikers she had to know how to turn a wrench. It's a form of art to her. She gets an old bike and fixes it up. Sometimes she sells it or someitmes she keeps it.
Fact #8 She was adopted. Her parents came from Russia to live the American dream... which in their eyes means "Harleys, leather, beer, and partying". Her folks, like her, couldn't have a child of their own. Even though they were in a biker gang they never wanted her to follow in their footsteps.
Fact #8 Sierra's self taught in almost everything in terms of book learning. Her schools were rough and teachers didn't put forth much effort. She was functionally illiterate until her earl 20s. Every time she overcomes something like that she pushes to use that as a way to help a child to NOT be in the same position. "I have only one ultimate goal in life. To leave this world a better place than when I arrived. Everything else is just a component. When I retire from fighting I hope it will be left a better sport than it was when I found it. Everything I improve on is to be a part of improving the whole world ultimately."
So now I gotta tag me some people... lets see... we'll start with :iconNa... oh wait I don't associate there. Then :iconBa... oh no... I don't associate there either...

1. She has fire and ice-related powers and abilities.
2. She and Carc A'Jou had a relationship, but it didn't last long due to Eek's jealousy. Carc referred to her as "too hot to handle, too cold to hold".
3. In the Carc & 'Slide storyline, Eek and Prowl will have a relationship.
4. Due to Eek's fire and ice-related powers and abilities, she is usually overconfident.
5. She is based on the Marvel Comics supervillain Equinox. However, her codename will be Arctic Flame.
6. She doesn't have any arch-enemies...yet. She has something of a grudge with Viola after their initial conflict where Vi swung in and punted Eek into unconsciousness (C&S #3).
7. Her favorite music is 80s rock.
8. Her favorite food is trendy American (i.e. Applebee's, Chili's. TGIF, Cheddar's).
9. Of the fems on the team, she is easily the "diva". Since Prowl has the biggest ego of the males, they're compatible.
Heh, craziest character? Hmmm... you probably already know who that is.
And I assume you want to know about Wielder then, lol.
And one day I'd like to have you draw Sierra, and another of Prowl. Ya already did 'Slide... maybe when finances perk up a bit...
