OOC Name: Kat
CHARACTER NAME: Sienna Rousseau
AGE: 26
CURRENT RESIDENCE (Which land in Elysium will they live?): Terestria
APPEARANCE (General info, Height/weight, Eye/Hair color, build, etc.):
Sienna has a slender but soft hourglass like frame with a slightly narrow waist. She stands at about 5'1 (a little taller in heels of course) and has flaming red hair. The color of her hair tends to lighten and darken with the season and is laced with natural highlights that show off the flaming locks. She has rather beautiful bright blue eyes with silvery flecks in them. Along her naturally pale skin, she is peppered with freckles and freckle patches- on her hip there is a small freckling bunching there that looks similar to a heart. Sienna likes to keep her hair long enough to style and her nails as well (comes in handy for things but also she thinks it looks prettier).
MARITAL STATUS: Unwed
FAMILY MEMBERS: Father(deceased), Mother(deceased), Older sister(deceased)
POSITION/OCCUPATION: Her day job is a maid at the palace but in truth she is a spy in the Rogue Court
GRAMARYE GIFT (if any): NONE
LIKES/TALENTS:
Sienna has a love for books, learning what languages she can(like sign language), and for sewing. She learned how to sew at a young age so most of her outfits are hand made by her with the use of the fabrics she gets with her inherited money. Sienna is also rather talented at using makeup/jewelry/outfits/hair styles to adjust how she physically looks to the public, able to mess with a range of ages to fool people if she wanted to(its a secret joy to throw off people like that). Sienna also taught herself to not flinch at loud noises in her practice to be able to come off deaf, sometimes she does it to irk her friends but mostly it's part of her day-to-day cover that proves useful when people want to 'test' if she is or not.
DISLIKES:
Sienna dislikes anyone who thinks they own her or have any rights to her. She views herself as a free woman and will only give herself to someone if she wants to. If she doesn't she will fight tooth and nail if anyone thinks they can just have her because she's a pretty face. She has a rather strong dislike of fire, fire for her brings about bad memories so she tends to avoid anything bigger than a small fireplace but even that gives her anxiety that she hasn't been able to overcome in all her years.
PERSONALITY:
Sienna has a couple of modes that she works into but she will adapt her personality to fit what ever the situation she's in calls for:
~While working she's docile, submissive, and not one to talk back. An avid people-pleaser when she is working at a job that requires her to spy on people. In doing so and with her faking being deaf, she would never be one to retaliate in anything done to her.
~While working for the Court she is very confident, happy, eager to learn and honest with them. Lying would get her no where there and she would lose the years of trust she built up there so she is honest with the people she works with.
~Deep down under all the layers she is still a noble lady. There is a warm kindness to her and a sweetness there that plays through out all the facades she puts up. It takes a while to get to this level with her, the part of her she protects after losing her family. As a child she had been soft spoken but she now has a voice she loves to give and a spunky spit fire nature that loves to be let out to tease others.
HISTORY:
Sienna's life starts out rather simple. Born to a noble family that was in the trade of silks, she truly did not lack for anything- neither did her sister. Both their lives were already planned out for them; marry well and increase the family name. It was simple but that simple plan went up in flames when her parents grew sick when she was ten years old. To protect her, Sienna's older sister sent her from the estate while this illness was squashed. It was months before Sienna heard of what befell those in the estate, it was a simple illness but one that spread like the common cold and to protect others, the land was burned to refresh the soils and cleanse the area of the illness that claimed the inhabitants.
When that happened, Sienna would come to inherit enough to make her comfortable until she died but that didn't change that her whole family was gone and her lands now had a much smaller home on it- her young request.
It was in that loneliness and sadness when she was approached by someone who had been in connection with her family. It would slowly become known to her that her family offered monetary support to something called "The Rogue Court" and that one of her parents had been involved. She would listen and would then be offered a position in the court. No one knew her, no one really had seen her so she could easily mingle in and out of society wherever she pleased and would have a freedom few women knew of here. That was what sold her. The fact she didn't have to submit to a man just because she happened to be a female.
So at ten her training would start. Sienna would start out as a Grunt and as a child it was perfect, her teacher showing the ways and although young, proved she could follow orders well and enact them easily enough.
At the Rogue Court she had the pleasure of meeting two brothers around her age(just a little older) and befriended them. They would go on to grow up with each other, teasing and training, and leaning on each other when the time called for it. Sienna grew to care for both Angus and Darragh, trusting and teasing them, letting them be able to see her through the layers she would eventually build while living and working for the Court.
At the age of fifteen, she had finally earned the title Pawn. It was a proud day for her to manage to make it this far, the Court and those inside it becoming her new family and people she actually cared about and what they were doing even more so.
In time, Sienna would learn that everyone was always mistaking her age, pegging her much younger than she actually was and so she started to use that to her advantage. She would take tasks meant for child much younger, even portraying herself as 'deaf' so that people would freely talk around her. It took a full two years of personal training to not jump at sudden noises to be able to pull it off perfectly but high pitched sounds still posed a small issue with her at times- though those were rare to hear for her but it was still something she had to be mindful of.
At the age of eighteen, Sienna took to pretending to be at least 4+ years younger than what she was. She had learned how to style her hair in ways that made her look younger than what she was and easily adopted into that persona when she was. It was then she would offer her cleaning or tailoring serves to noble families, under the guise of a commoner just looking for work to take care of herself. With some well placed ash on her face and her naturally slender appearance, she easily entered noble families homes and proved to be a hard worker. Even if she couldn't 'hear' she easily heard their conversations while serving them and reporting anything of interest to the Court. From all her hard work and dedication, she managed to make it up to being a Rook now in the Rogue Court. That alone made her happy, she had a special set of skills and the Court could put her anywhere they needed because of them.
For years she did this and at the age of twenty four she started to work in the palace, claiming to be twenty and needing a job since she had read that new maids were being hired. They didn't seem to care that she was deaf only if she worked hard and all her tasks were done and she was available to them. Silently she worked her way through the palace as a maid, not minding the hard work but also it would be this time where she actually started to make friends that were outside the court- people she didn't have to spy on.
Sienna would actually end up meeting a maid who was deaf- truly deaf and not the pretender that she was and actually be her friend. No, she never delved into her past with her or what her true intentions were at the palace but it was nice to have a friend she could sign with, it was always a good day when she got to bump into her and check in.
It was a few months then before she would turn twenty-six where she had been asked to dress up and attend a party of nobles to listen in and see what connections she could possibly make. This party was easy to attend for herself since it wasn't held at the castle and so she dressed herself up, did her hair and pinned it with silver to add some sparkle but to also make sure she didn't look like the twenty year old she pretended to be. Here, she was a polite proper noble lady but in truth it was exhausting and as she was refilling her wine she met- well bumped into, a rather interesting man. Sienna would meet a man, Drew DeGrey, who would change her life, for better or worse, she didn't know but for the entire time he was in Terestria, she was with him. Both didn't think of consequences because what could happen? Sienna should have known better than to think that but she loved his company- even his rather slight hair obsession because she could relate and understand. The time she was with him though, it was the most she hadn't had to pretend to be someone else than before and when he left again, she knew she'd miss him and cherish their time together silently.
When she turned Twenty-six, three months later, she realized a couple of things. One she was sick and tired all the time, Two her clothes were getting a bit uncomfortable but the worrisome Three was that she missed her monthly time. In a calm panic (all of the actual freak out was internal) she disguised herself and went to a midwife who confirmed she was three months pregnant. That went against all her plans and the work she put into the court but now she was stuck. She was pregnant by a man whom she had no clue where he was since he was never someone she had to spy on but now she was going to put all her efforts into finding him because she couldn't continue her day job easily while being pregnant...
