Age: 25

Gender: Female

Species: Earth Pony

Appearance: <p> Light tan coat, brown and blue mane, wavy, light blue eyes. Sometimes wears wooden caps on her ears. </p>

Cutie Mark: <p> A small string of gemstone beads and a large bell. </p>

Personality: <p> Sierra is naive sometimes because of how she sees the world. She is a humble and polite pony, but her temper and patience does flare at times. Her thoughts seem strange sometimes and is a bit of an airhead, but she has a very kind heart. Often she distances herself from other ponies, and feels lonely in her thoughts. She enforces her moral compass often, it's part of her attitude, but sometimes doesn't think about how other ponies haven't seen her way of life. </p>

Backstory: <p> Sierra grew up with her family and neighboring town of Fillydelphia. Mountain living was important to them, the freedom of the open sky is sacred of course. Her parents were sculptors- they loved to whittle fallen trees and sculpt boulders into intricate artwork. Sierra will always be appreciative of her eclectic and loving parents. Their home and farm is a beautiful place to have grown up.  </p> <p> As a filly, Sierra was often alone looking over the mountain at the forests. They lived on a pretty tall peak and she swears that the wind would speak to her, and she sometimes still hears it. Only Sierra could explain her findings to you. It was such a large open area over their heads, so everyone is still pretty skeptical of her claims. Running down the mountain doing silly  jumps, able to calculate things from the breeze, great at swooshing. Sierra could make a great fighter if she fancied. She used her skills to help with her familys land and art business among other things.  </p> <p> She had no problem making friends at school, or getting along with her siblings but Sierra was very focused on her wind working. Some ponies just didn't understand her though, her spirit is sometimes very lonely. Sierra wasn't very mathematical, but in her own way she learned. Mostly they were proud and supportive, it was an amazing thing she had taught herself. On the other hand though, she was isolated with nature a lot and would say things that seemed odd- so they started to worry. </p> <p> Her parents began taking her with them to art shows and sometimes for business, hoping it would bring her down to earth a bit. It did once she learned the magic of windchimes! At an art auction- she saw it sway in the breeze upon a tree display. It filled her with so much passion knowing that she could make her own wind chimes to share the winds knowledge. </p> <p> Recently she has opened her own business for them. Some would say they sound odd, and they do so because you are hearing what Sierra hears. The wind often pushes her on journeys, she loves meeting new ponies and hearing stories. Though she is a bit of an 'air' head, Sierra is swaying through her life at the perfect pace. </p>
