Sierra Mikain is the original bearer of the [[Moon Rune]]. The rune was so powerful that Sierra was able to create an entire coven of lesser vampires using the rune<ref>"With the power of the "Moon Rune", the vampiress Sierra was able to become founder of an entire coven of lesser vampires." - Richmond ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>. Sierra and her followers lived in happiness in [[Blue Moon Village]], until a young member named [[Neclord]] stole the rune and ran away.
[[File:Sierra sires Rein.png|thumb|left|220px|Necking in the woods]]
Sierra Mikain was the original bearer of the [[Moon Rune]], a [[27 True Runes|True Rune]] of immense power. She discovered the [[rune]] in the year -375 and it transformed her into a [[vampire]]. With the rune's abilities, Sierra created a coven of vampires, including [[Rein Penenberg]], one of her first sired followers.
 
For centuries, she and her coven lived in harmony in [[Blue Moon Village]], their existence marked by peace and prosperity. However, this tranquility was shattered when [[Neclord]], a young member of the coven, stole the Moon Rune and fled, unleashing uncontrollable bloodlust among the vampires.
 
[[File:Sierra finishes off Rein Penenberg.png|thumb|right|220px|You've got to hand it to her]]
Without the rune's stabilizing influence, many vampires, including Rein, turned to preying on humans. Sierra, determined to restore balance, pursued Neclord and the rogue vampires over the centuries.


Sierra Mikain pursued Neclord, along with other vampires that preyed on humans. When Neclord attacked [[Tinto Principality]], Sierra joined forces with the [[New State Army]] to defeat him. Sierra Mikain was able to sense the Blue Moon Rune<ref>"He's in here, I think. I can feel it. The power of the Moon Rune..." - Sierra Mikain</ref> and was able to reclaim it from Neclord at Tinto.
During her journey, she encountered [[Nash Latkje]], a young man who joined her as a companion and baggage handler. Together, they confronted and defeated Rein Penenberg, Sierra's former lover, who had succumbed to his bloodlust.


Afterwards, Sierra Mikain remained with the New State Army. Though she had trouble understanding humans, she found she liked the wine that [[Viktor]] brought her<ref>"I still do not fully understand you mortals. But I enjoy that wine your friend Viktor sometimes brings to me when he is lonely." - Sierra Mikain ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.  
Later, during the [[Dunan Unification War]], Sierra allied with the [[New Alliance Army]] to confront Neclord once more after he attacked [[Tinto Principality]]. Using her connection to the Moon Rune, she located and reclaimed it from Neclord.


Following the war, Sierra Mikain decided to remain with humans<ref>"Decided to hang around with humans instead of returning to blue moon village." - Sierra Mikain's Ending Text ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>, feeling no hurry to return to Blue Moon Village<ref>"Sounds like she's got no plans to go back to her village, right away.  There's no one left alive there anyway...only the undead." - Richmond ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.
[[File:Sierra's work is done.png|thumb|left|220px|Happy birthday, Viktor]]
She would leave Neclord's ultimate fate to [[Viktor]], who had his own personal vendetta against the vampire. Sierra's decision to forgo personal vengeance reflected her wisdom and detachment, as well as her confidence in Viktor's ability.


==Trivia==
Following the destruction of Neclord, Sierra chose to remain with the New Alliance Army, contributing her immense power to their special forces. After the war's conclusion, she found joy in observing humanity, feeling no urgency to return to Blue Moon Village.
* Despite regaining the [[Blue Moon Rune]] during the game, Sierra never uses it in battle.

—  Sierra Mikain
Necking in the woods

Sierra Mikain was the original bearer of the Moon Rune, a True Rune of immense power. She discovered the rune in the year -375 and it transformed her into a vampire. With the rune's abilities, Sierra created a coven of vampires, including Rein Penenberg, one of her first sired followers.

For centuries, she and her coven lived in harmony in Blue Moon Village, their existence marked by peace and prosperity. However, this tranquility was shattered when Neclord, a young member of the coven, stole the Moon Rune and fled, unleashing uncontrollable bloodlust among the vampires.

You've got to hand it to her

Without the rune's stabilizing influence, many vampires, including Rein, turned to preying on humans. Sierra, determined to restore balance, pursued Neclord and the rogue vampires over the centuries.

During her journey, she encountered Nash Latkje, a young man who joined her as a companion and baggage handler. Together, they confronted and defeated Rein Penenberg, Sierra's former lover, who had succumbed to his bloodlust.

Later, during the Dunan Unification War, Sierra allied with the New Alliance Army to confront Neclord once more after he attacked Tinto Principality. Using her connection to the Moon Rune, she located and reclaimed it from Neclord.

Happy birthday, Viktor

She would leave Neclord's ultimate fate to Viktor, who had his own personal vendetta against the vampire. Sierra's decision to forgo personal vengeance reflected her wisdom and detachment, as well as her confidence in Viktor's ability.

Following the destruction of Neclord, Sierra chose to remain with the New Alliance Army, contributing her immense power to their special forces. After the war's conclusion, she found joy in observing humanity, feeling no urgency to return to Blue Moon Village.
