( tw : kidnapping, the usual for a warrior )
she was never a planned child, her birth a surprise to the two people who were sneaking around with no intentions to find love. they weren’t romantic, they were just lonely and wanted to pass the time. much worse, one (her mother) was a high fae working in the court palace and the other (her father) an illyrian general who commanded a camp.
when they discovered they were pregnant, siara’s mother feared giving birth. she feared having a girl knowing the nature of illyrian camps, so she fled to velaris and siara was born on the longest night of the year (winter solstice). a fact siara does not share with many.
her early life was easy, daughter of a high fae woman who made her way in the world by creating beautiful garments for those that could afford them. but siara was never meant to be an easy child, her pointed ears and wings labeled her as an outcast, half in one world and half in another.
it didn’t take long for her mother to be clueless as to what to do, and even less time for word to reach her father that a half high fae / half illyrian girl was born to an impressive seamstress. he arrived and whisked her away to the illyrian camp he commanded, telling her mother there was simply no better place.
siara was awarded a harsh treatment by the man who donated his genetics to her. he treated her harder than most other warriors and he refused to let her fail because he shared her blood. the camp was ruthless, training until exhaustion or bloodshed, and then harder past that point. she had to prove herself time and time again in a world where nothing she did was good enough. this shaped her, it honed her into a warrior with a reputation of mercilessness and death. she’s lethal, quick, and terrifying. siara will never be someone you want to make an enemy of, and she takes pride in that.
and then she learned the gifts of her abilities had not stopped at wings. siara grew up hearing whispers around her, though she often dismissed it as nothing. but the whispers grew louder, and soon the shadows begged for her attention. she was a shadowsinger.
once knowledge of this ability spread, her relationships with people at the camp grew a mixture of fearful and hateful, even worse than they already were. how could this abomination be granted such abilities? her solace came in a friend that bonded with her and gave no care to her abilities or father.
the time came for her and a few others to perform the ritual to become true warriors. her father nearly didn’t let her, but siara fought even harder to push him into it, and once she was on the mountain her true skills as a shadowsinger grew. she survived, she made it to the summit, and though angry, nobody argued her initiation. her tattoo is on her chest, right on her sternum. she wears it proudly, though she has gained a few more over the centuries. she won’t admit it to many, but her childhood friend is truly the only reason she made it.
for a most of her life this is where she lived, fighting, training, and constantly proving her place was earned. eventually she garnered the reputation of one of the fiercest illyrian warriors, forgotten was the stain of calling her only half. this reputation opened the door to the courts for her, and slowly she earned the trust of the ruling family of the court of night, she was granted the position of a spymaster and has done a damn good job at it.
she’s a warrior, fierce and terrifying. a formidable opponent to anyone who crosses her path. she has to be, her father gave her no other choice. she’s ruthless, cutthroat, manipulative, and terrifying. her shadows give her the ability of pure stealth, and she absolutely has the reputation of lurking in them. she prefers it this way, a reputation that earns her fear of some and respect of others. she wants to be terrifying, she wants to keep people away from her. siara isn’t good with friendships, and the few she has are guarded with an iron fist.
if you are her friend you’ll see a bit more of a relaxed side, though she constantly seems to have her duty shoved up her.... but she can be mean in an amusing way, picking fun at those she cares for in a way that leaves you unsure of if she’s insulting you, teasing you, or both. mischievous, and playful, but you’d only notice if you caught the glints in her dark eyes.
she likes to bury all emotions, pretend they don’t exist, and never admit she cares for someone. it’s hard to get past her walls and even those she cares about have not managed that fully.. siara isn’t interested in falling in love, but she’ll happily lose herself in another body or a few.
she likes to draw, but she’s horrible at it. you’ll find burned pieces of paper in her fireplace and they are typically bad sketches.
if you want to gain any sort of favor with her, buy her weapons. the deadlier the better.�� she likes knives.
she lives most of her life in dresses far too revealing for her own good, embracing her body as a bit of a slap to the mixed emotions of her blood.
