Profile
Appearance

Sierra's appearance is that of a pretty girl, but her behavior and words convey a power that is extraordinary. She is a vampire, over 800 years old.
She had an exceptionally pale complexion, long white hair, and unusually red eyes. She wore a purple shawl over a short blue cloak. Underneath she wore white frilly clothes, white stockings, and blue shoes.
Profile

Sierra speaks in an old-fashioned way because she has lived for a long time. However, when she met Klaus Windamier, she spoke more normally and less formally, charming the young strategist. Nash Latkje considered her haughty and shameless and even coined a nickname for her, Ghostly Hag.
Sierra felt responsible for the harm done to people by vampires born from her own mistakes and so commenced a journey to eliminate her former brethren who have turned to feeding on humans. As a vampire, she has an excellent sense of hearing, and never misses a bad word that is said about her.
History
|

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.

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 State 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.

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 State 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.
