Personal Style (write a short paragraph): Sienaa tends to wear neutral and darker jewel-toned colors (think dark teal and plum). When she is hunting, she prefers jeans, her leather jacket, and comfortable shirts. Her favorite shoes are her cowboy boots and her biker boots. However, when she feels like dressing up for her job or any other special occasion, she will wear more feminine clothing, like dresses and heels.






Likes (3 at least): Sweets, her car, animals and nature, Wicca, history books, occult books, ancient languages, antiques and Native American paraphernalia
Dislikes (3 at least): Bright colors, small talk, sappy couple moments. Corrupt individuals, supernatural or human. Other shape shifters because they usually use their powers for mischief, like robbing banks and killing humans. Sienaa doesn't enjoying shifting, so she usually has a go-to form that she stays in most of the time, unless it becomes necessary that she changes forms.
Strengths (3 at least): ): She is good with hunting weapons…knives, arrows and guns, and hand-to-hand combat, courtesy of her father. Shape-shifting—she can take on the form of any person—living, deceased or fictional, and she can access the thoughts of the person she is mimicking. She can shift pretty quickly due to rigorous training, but she still sheds a little. She's advanced in using herbal magick, especially for medicinal purposes thanks to Alyce (explained later).
Weaknesses (3 at least): Silver and iridium will burn Sienaa if she touches them or if she is cut with them, and kill her if she is stabbed in the heart. Decapitation, for obvious reasons. She's a novice spell-caster and potion brewer, because she only learned the basics from her mother, so she tends to make mistakes which infuriates her. Her wish to be loved, romantically or platonic, sometimes clouds her judgment.
Fears: That she will never be loved, and that she will end up completely alone.
Biggest Secret(s): She's a shape-shifter. If people knew what she really was, she'd be hunted and killed.

Personality (write a decent paragraph): Sienaa is reserved, willful, and observant. If she is quiet, she is usually observing the people around her, and noting their weaknesses. She likes to be in control and tends to find opportunities in almost every situation. With most people, she tends to be sarcastic and witty, and even manipulative, sometimes stirring up trouble just so that she can sit back and watch it all unfold. But, with a chosen few, she sometimes displays a more caring and sensitive demeanor. However, it can be hard to tell if it is genuine or just an act.
When she is working a job, she'll put on whatever facade that gets the job done. As a thief and bounty hunter, Sienaa uses a multitude of aliases and disguises/forms to keep her real identity hidden.
In truth, Sienaa really just wants to be loved, but she knows that what she is is something very hard to love. Because of this, she likes to keep people at arm's reach. As such, she can be ruthless and cold. Also, Sienaa rarely asks others for help as she does not like to feel indebted to others.

Sienaa is a book worm. She enjoys leaning about new things, especially things related to history (European, American, Wiccan, etc.) and occultism. She always has a book of some sort in her car. She also likes to spend time in the libraries of the towns she visits when she has the chance. Her choice in aliases shows her love of history as they tend to be the names or aliases historical figures known for swindling and occultism.





Family and Friends: Moira Winters (mother), Addie Winters (deceased sister), Johnathan Winters (father)

Enemies and Rivals: Hmmm.....hunters and supernatural entities alike, considering that she's hunted them.

History:
Moira Winters was a powerful witch from the Rowland coven, known for its expansive knowledge of all things magick and their strict practice of good magick. When she was 16, Moira met a man named Johnathan Winters, whom she quickly fell in love with. Within a few months, they were married and settled down. Moira continued to practice magick with her coven, as their leader even after she became pregnant with Sienaa. When Sienaa was born, Moira realized that her child wasn't completely human. That she was different. As an infant, Sienaa would shape-shift at random. At the time, she thought it was because the gods were punishing her for something she may have done in a past life. Moira searched every grimoire she could get her hands on, looking for answers, but found none.

When she became pregnant with her second daughter, she scryed and saw what would become of the future daughter, and that she too, like Sienaa, could change forms. Finally, she realized that it was because of Johnathan that her daughters were this way, and so, while he was away 'visiting family', she decided that she couldn't allow either of her daughters to live. She slit Sienaa's throat in her sleep (with a steel blade), and then took her own life. Johnathan came home the next morning to find Sienaa huddled over her mother's lifeless body. Tears were streaming down her face, and when she saw him, she said, "I'm sorry, Daddy. I made mommy hate me."

After "clearing" things up with the cops, who ruled it at a suicide, Johnathan moved himself and Sienaa to the States, where they settled in Florida. Up until that point, she'd been "home-schooled" for fear that she would shape shift at an inappropriate time, but now that she was older, he felt that she could handle being in public school. Sienaa slowly learned to adapt to living among humans, and became a normal child, almost. She learned how to manipulate others to get what she wanted, and she was a straight A student. She was also popular, but made sure to keep her school life and her private life separate.

However, life at home was far from perfect. At the age of 13, Johnathan trained her harshly to develop her skills as a shape-shifter and a hunter. He wanted her to be prepared for anything, often subjecting her to hours of shape-shifting just so that she could shift faster. If she was too slow, or if she made an error, he would beat her. When she was learning to dismantle, clean and reassemble various guns, he would even lock her in their basement without food for days at a time until she could quickly complete the task without any error. After a while, Sienaa's social life went south. Her grades dropped, and she barely spoke. Johnathan told her teachers that it had to do with her mother's death, and that he would get her counseling, but later pulled her out of school. With the additional time, the training became more rigorous. During her downtime, she would often read the books on history, the occult and Wicca that she'd checked out at her local library.

At 16, Sienaa started to realize that all the rigorous training was meant to shape her as a tool for Johnathan’s revenge against humans, and that he wanted her to join him and his underground sect of various supernatural creatures who wanted to stage a mass uprising against humans during the Apocalypse. He even had her accompany him on a 'hunt', where she tearfully watched him and a few of the sect's members, brutally slaughter a group of hunters. When Sienaa refused to have anything to do with the sect, Johnathan left her in a cellar to be tortured by them for days.

Finally, Sienaa had had enough. She used a binding spell she'd learned from one of her books on Johnathan. Then, she tied him up in the basement, where she tortured him for several days, wanting him to feel the pain she'd felt for all those years. After she felt satisfied with her handy work, she ended his life by stabbing him in the heart with one of his favorite hunting blades. She cleaned up her mess, making sure to cover her tracks. She even shifted into a new form. Then, she left, making sure to take as little as possible so as not to raise suspicion. She later read that her father's alleged killer was believed to have kidnapped her.

Sienaa hitchhiked, bused and trained her way to Nevada, where she settled in Carson City. There, she met and charmed Xavier Brunner, a local forger. He changed her name to Aless Balsamo, named after Guiseppe Balsamo, a famous occultist and charlatan. She got a job at Red's Grill as a waitress, and volunteered at the Nevada State Museum as a docent. During this time, she also dated Xavier, more or less as compensation for helping her.

After a few months, she was contacted by an unknown source, who asked her to steal an artifact worth over $130,000 dollars. She did so without a second thought, and started to realize that she could profit from her expansive knowledge of history and the occult. She began a nomadic life and moved from city to city, acquiring various artifacts and relics for her clients and using Xavier as a contact for forging her identities. After a while, she also began taking on clients who requested her to track down individuals, supernatural or human. In order for her to take on a job tracking down, and often killing, a human, however, they had to be corrupt, and the same went for supernatural creatures. Her definition of corrupt meant that the individual was performing immoral acts for personal gain that either directly or indirectly harmed or killed humans. This included witches that inherited their magick from Demons and performed dark magick, humans who bound demons and reapers for their own use, any supernatural creatures that fed on and slaughtered humans, and humans who hunted other humans for sport.

During one of her assignments, where she was contracted to hunt down a witch that was believed to have been using dark magick in Nyack, New York, she met Alyce Evertide. Unaware of the alleged witch, Selene Desoto's secret practices, Alyce and her fellow coven members practiced herbal magick for healing. Sienaa joined the coven to get closer to Selene, and after confirming her use of dark magick, she killed her. Alyce came forward and told her that she knew why Sienaa was really there, and that her secret was safe. Sienaa and Alyce became friends, and it is Alyce who taught Sienaa advanced herbal magick, as well as a few tidbits on spell casting and potion brewing. However, Sienaa's spell casting and potion brewing is still amateur at best. Sienaa has stayed in contact with Alyce and sees her as a surrogate mother.

Through her travels, Sienaa has become an advanced supernatural hunter, even acquiring the journal of a hunter she'd met, well, more like stealing. She can pretty much handle her own, so she very rarely seeks the help of others. Though she is normally ruthless, she only kills her targets once she has confirmed their suspicious activity, and thus, she has spared the lives of a few individuals who turned out to be harmless. She hopes that by slowly ridding the world of evil, she can receive redemption for her being born as a monster.





Other Details You'd Like to Add: Sienaa can speak French, Italian and Gaelic as her dad is French and her mom is Scottish. It comes in handy during her travels.
Apparitions of her mom and, sometimes, an 8-year old version of her sister, come to her whenever she is either half-asleep or completely asleep. This usually happens when she is in great danger.

Winters, Sienaa

RP Sample (required):
Sienaa pulled her green 1968 Pontiac Firebird into the parking lot outside of a Mel’s diner. The outside was pink, and it looked like a retro diner straight out of the 1950’s. The sight of it almost annoyed her. She sighed, as she cut off the ignition. Another day, another diner. What she wouldn’t give for a nice home-cooked meal.

She reached over to the glove compartment, and pulled out her cellphone. Flipping it open, she speed-dialed the contact Home and waited. After a few rings, he picked up.

“Sienaa.” His voice was emotionless, but it didn’t bother her. He’d never been much of a loving father figure.

“I’m outside of Nevada,” she stated simply. She wasn’t a loving daughter, either.

“Good, good. I haven’t received any instructions as of yet, so just sit tight.”

Sienaa sighed heavily. She was getting frustrated with just waiting. “How long is this going to take? I really want to come home.”

“Soon, soon. Don’t worry, Sienaa. How many times have I told you to be patient?” Even though he still sounded calm, she could hear a slight hint of anger.

Sienaa groaned and slammed her head back against her head rest. She pressed her fingers hard against her forehead, as though it would ease the building tension. “Fine,” she snapped. “Can I talk to Addie?”

“Hold on.”

Sienaa heard rustling as Johnathan passed the phone to Addie. “Make it quick,” she heard him say.

“Sienaa?” A lump formed in Sienaa’s throat at the sound of Addie’s voice. She missed her sister so much. It had been way too long since she’d seen her.

“Hey, Adds. How are you? Is Dad treating you ok? How’s school?”

Addie giggled, “I’m fine, yes, and it’s fine.”

Sienaa let out a short laugh. “Sorry, and good. Keep making those A’s, and I’ll bring you a present when I get back.”

“Yay! Can it be a Disney princess? Dad said you’re near California.”

Sienaa smiled, wondering how likely it was that she’d even get to California, let alone get something from Disney World. “We…”

“Goodbye,” Johnathan interrupted. He hung up before Sienaa had time to react. For a long moment, Sienaa just stared out in front of her as she felt her anger bubbling up inside of her. What was that about? She rarely got the chance to speak to her sister, and when Johnathan finally let her, he had to do something like that.

Without thinking, Sienaa slammed her fist into the dashboard over and over until her anger began to subside. The nerve of him! She did everything he asked, and for what? For 16 months without her sister or a home? For months and months of living on the road with almost no human contact? Tears welled up in her eyes, and streamed down her cheeks. She was so sick of this. There had to be a way out. Maybe her mom had had the right idea when she’d tried to kill them. At least then she and Addie wouldn’t have to live this way. They wouldn’t have had to know suffering at the hands of their own father. If her mother had succeeded…

Sienaa shook her head, as if to clear it, and wiped her eyes. It didn’t matter because she was alive. All she could do now was survive, and get her sister away from Johnathan’s grasp before he could sink his claws into her. She started her car, and pulled out of the parking lot.

I've made the changes to my application. Thanks you for your help.

Hello,

I do apologize for how long it has taken to get this app through the process. There are just some things that the staff needed to discuss. We are going to go ahead and approve you. Just keep in mind there are some things that are still questionable and we might ask you to change something along the way if the character is doing something that's not in line with what we see as the tone of the site.

I know that sounds kind of vague, but I'm not sure how to explain it better. The mix of powers is still something that we don't want to see being over done with the witchcraft. As well as she is only 22 years old, so getting a job as a museum curator is something a little above her level. But, the fact that she is a shapeshifter, we're going to let that go for now as it's a not a deal breaker. Just wanted to let you know there are still some caveats that we have that go along with this character.

Again, thank you for your patience and welcome to Unforgiven.

Don't forget the face claim and the Who Plays Who listing.
