Brief Family History: Sierra was born on a spectacular day, January 1st 1998. She was born on New Years. She was an only child. Her parents constantly traveled around the world and were surprsied to receive her as a gift on their wedding anniversary in London, England. They called her their "Miracle of the New Year". For 11 years, Sierra looked up to her parents as her entire world. She went with them everywhere as a kid and learned many things from them. They were like a newlywed couple. They were both loving, and played pranks on her for being their daughter. She was able to pick up different languages from the different countries she had gone to. Her experience in the Muggle world was spectacular. That was it though. She had believed everything they had did was normal. Her parents did not show her any magic, nor did they inform her of her magical blood. The time came when they were in Oulu, Finland, when Sierra had started showing signs of her magical power. Her parents had gotten afraid then and explained to her everything. A few months of testing out her magic (she wasn't at all bothered by it, she forgave her parents because she loved them so much) in Barcelona, she finally received the letter to Hogwarts. Her parents had hesitantly agreed. Well, her mother was readily prepared to have to leave her precious daughter in the hands of a magic Academy. It was for the experience, and they would visit as much as possible. Her father was irked (because he had met her mother in Hogwarts and didn't want his princess to go through the same drama they had to go through) but he agreed after puppy eyes and magic. Sierry happily, but somewhat nervously, boarded the train to Hogwarts with her past in tow and prepared to meet new friends and endure many wonderful experiences.

Strengths (Including Personality and Academic): Sierra is most definitely a cheerful girl with an open heart and an open mind. She really tries hard academically and doesn't like to see anyone down in the dumps or being bullied. Having traveled around the world as a kid with her parents, she was able to pick up many different languages (such as Spanish, French, German, and some Japanese) and learn bits and pieces of them. Sierra is very enthusiastic in practical classes such as Defense Against the Dark Arts or Transfiguration. She likes having fun with groups of people. Sierra is a bit oblivious though, and doesn't notice many subtle hints other people give. She thinks positively at all times and doesn't really have negative feelings. Despite people being negative to her, she'll still get up again and again. Her brain... is normal for a regular person though. Dazed, but eager to learn and absorb like a sponge.
Weaknesses (Including Personality and Academic): Sierra is about average. She's no where near genius, but she isn't a complete idiot either. She can process Potions just fine and SOMEHOW finds History absolutely intriguing. Must be that she likes the world already and is interested in learning more. She is oblivious. A complete block. When she's not cheerful or happy-go-lucky and excited, she's really out of it about other people. She gets in trouble in Herbology for this because she gets really distracted by the plants and colours. She is so oblivious that it can come off as insulting because she isn't paying attention. She tends to get into lots of problems because of her spurts of bravery where she stands up for herself or other people. Calmly though, because she doesn't want to hurt either sides.
What House You Feel Your Character Belongs In and Why: Sierra best fits as a Gryffindor because of her hidden courage and compassion for others. She really can be loyal and strong if she puts her mind to it. If only she stopped half-worrying about others, she could be a great lion.
