## Biography

### **Early Life**

Sierra Rodriguez-Reyes was born on September 8th, 1996 in Caracas, Venezuela into a severely impoverished Venezuelan family. Her father is a unnamed construction worker whom Sierra later learns abandoned her and her mother when he had found out her mother was pregnant. Her mother, Andrea Rodriguez, was extremely sick from various diseases spreading across the country and unable to do anything for herself, always requiring her daughter's help. She was also very depressed after learning that Sierra’s father left her and her daughter.

Sierra and her mother lived in a small house with her grandmother in the city, to whom she spent most of her life caring for, and when Sierra reached of age, she was immediately made the breadwinner of the family because of her mother's illnesses and her grandmother being too old. The family had a mango tree in their backyard, which Sierra used to sell mangos in the marketplace as a way to make money.

Even as a child, Sierra was extremely intelligent and politically-minded. She often questioned the role of the government and could easily see the corruption of the leaders. She would frequently attend protests, despite her grandmother telling her not to pay any mind to the protesters.

## Personality

On the surface, Sierra is an introverted, kind, and mature person. She enjoys talking with others about their problems and is determined to do the best she can to help them, even if it's just her listening. She is an advice giver, and can be considered as the ''mom'' in her friend group.

Sierra is extremely inspiring, her charisma matching even Lucien's. she was able to get an entire country on her side by delivering speeches even President Thorne said were "some of the most mesmerizing he'd ever witnessed". Her charisma gives her the ability to be able to accomplish her goals with never-ending support from those persuaded by her charm.

Sierra’s greatest strength is her relentless determination and drive for what she believes is right. Her perseverance is unmatched by any other character in the show and she sticks by her morals until the very end of her sanity. Her passion for equal rights and her hatred for authority figures are her motivations for continuing the revolution.

Despite her confident persona, at her core, Sierra is a narcissist with an unreasonably high sense of self-importance and ego. She wants to be a hero because she seeks attention and wants people to admire her for generations, leading to her making rash decisions like starting The Revolution without truly knowing what she wants and putting an entire country in danger for the sake of her own self-worth. She is selfish and does not care for other people’s feelings if it gets in the way of her goals. But behind her mask of extreme confidence, Sierra’s self-worth is low and she is upset by the slightest failure of criticism, so she hides behind boasting about her achievements and importance, even if she doesn’t possess them.

When it comes to making decisions, Sierra is always rational and thinks with her brain, considering every possibility that there is and carefully choosing her decision. But deep down, she is somewhat of an idealist. She believes that she can save everyone and win the revolution. This is a result of Sierra's pride, both natural (her confidence and self-assuredness) and learned as she genuinely believes that she is the chosen one to save the country from corruption and war.

In a way, Sierra is similar to her enemy Lucien as they both are quite delusional, but in different ways. Sierra thinks that she and only she is destined to be the hero of her country and that no matter what she does she will succeed (a delusion that started from her obsession with politics and history), whereas Lucien's started as a result of privilege, hatred, and stubbornness that led her to believe that whatever she is doing is the best for her country. Another difference between Sierra and Lucien is that down to her core, Sierra doesn’t *actually* care for the country and its people. Sure, she despises authority and does actually hate the government and does believe in everything she tells to the public, that’s not her main concern. She wants to be the hero. Lucien, on the other hand, actually does care for her people and wants to see them do better. that’s her main goal.

However, because of her overly heroic mindset, Sierra isn't very loyal to her loved ones; she'd much rather save an entire group of people rather than someone she loves more than anything.
