Occupation...Huntress, Star-reader, works for the Obsidian Court
Alignment...Chaotic Neutral
Cierra's skin is naturally browned, having a soft caramel shade that has been toned by long hours beneath the sun. Her hair is often long, and will either be done and braided nicely or left to be flowing and unruly depending on how she feels upon first waking up each morning. The Borlaaq's brown hair is accented with purple highlights, her favorite color, and made to match her bright violet eyes and flow with the deep shades of her scales. Across her body line many piercings, with some in her eyebrows, nose, lip, and a few others across her body and hanging from her horns. As a whole, Cierra is short, even for an Au'ra. She is fairly toned however, and it is clear from her build and body shape that she exercises plenty.
Scars & Markings: Cierra has few scars, something she is rather proud of as to her it means she has made few mistakes... though the reality is, what mistakes she has made have usually been meager or fixed by a skilled healer.
Voice: Cierra's voice, while at its foundation is quite soft and somewhat high, she keeps it incredibly monotone, just like her emotions. She has two ways of speaking it seems, either in brief, flat sentences with little description or inflection, or in long and drawn out speeches of flowing words and surprisingly articulate speech. What makes her want to speak in one way or the other is unknown, and it seems that she chooses her type of language at random.
Clothing: Cierra's attire consistently strikes the boxes of being functional, revealing, and often times showy as well. For someone typically so emotionless and blunt, her outfits tend to be complex. Though no matter what, she refuses to wear dress clothes.
Cierra's personality to... really, everyone, seems incredibly flat. She refuses to publicly display any emotion, whether that be happiness, anger, concern. In her mind, it is all displays of a weakness of some sort, and that by hiding her emotions it creates an air of almost invincibility. Though as she gets to know specific people better,
her true self begins to crack through and they may pull a smile or snide smirk from her. Beneath her seemingly-impenetrable wall, the Xaela is rather playful, liking to poke fun at others and make sarcastic jokes. Though this is very rare, and something she will only ever show to the people she feels most comfortable around.

Khota was Cierra's first lover, and her only one before Pandora. Being part of a small, nomadic clan of Borlaaq, everyone was fairly close within their tribe. The connection Cierra and Khota had however was special, at least to Cierra. Cierra devoted herself strictly to Khota, but her partner however was much less monogamous- without Cierra's knowledge. Whether she had always been disloyal to her or it happened along in the relationship, Cierra never knew. When she returned to their tent to find her beneath furs with two of their clan-sisters, Cierra didn't ask questions. She quickly slayed the three of them, and left her people soon after.
Pandora was the first person Cierra truly met in Eorzea. Their first encounter was rocky at best, but earning Pandora's trust allowed them to get to know eachother a bit better. Over time, they have developed a comfort with eachother and are now engaged to be married. Pandora is among the few people who can evoke emotions from Cierra, and the woman is placed on a special pedestal within the Xaela's heart. Her purity, or her Snow, as she calls her.
Nylora was one of the first people that Cierra interacted with in her time at the Obsidian Court, although indirectly.
The Miqo'te was missing when Cierra was initially hired and her first task was to help find the girl. Since that time, she had in a way befriended her father-figure and Cierra's lover had conducted a rather serious surgery on her, so in a way Cierra supposed that she aught to meet the girl. The two of them seemed to connect surprisingly well, in the way that the two of them possibly could. They are both rather poor at social interactions, both somewhat-rebellious, and both mostly emotionless. They get along very well, and she is one of a small number of people capable of making Cierra's emotions visible- if only briefly.
Vado was perhaps the first person that Cierra became close with at the Obsidian Court. He has been kind and helpful to her when needed, and has shown her the proper way for her to act within her new field of interest. The two of them have grown very close, and Cierra has come to admire his abilities and level-headedness.
Xiang and her clan-sister were two people who Cierra immediately gravitated towards when she joined the Obsidian Court. As soon as she had found someone with whom she could speak Xaelan with, she was happy. Xiang is much more upbeat and social than her partner, but Cierra appreciates their company equally. To Cierra, they are her sisters, all of them family and daughters of the Dusk Mother.
Daiyu, much like her sister Xiang, are close to Cierra in a different way from the others. As they are all Xaela, she considers them to be sisters, and as such she feels much more comfortable speaking with them and having fun with them. It is as if their connection makes the woman open up without her realizing. Daiyu is much more quiet and reserved than Xiang, something that Cierra often respects and appreciates.
Livia and Cierra butt heads now and again, and Livia knows precisely the proper ways to slam Cierra's buttons and force her to break down her wall of emotionlessness now and again, but deep down Cierra connects well with Livia. They are both rather blunt, and focus on accomplishment at any cost. Livia is devoted to her work as Cierra has seen, and for this she has come to respect Livia.
Dovienya is Cierra's boss, the leader of the Obsidian Court. Dovienya is stoic, blunt, and commanding, everything Cierra would want in a leader and everything she wishes to be as a leader. The Borlaaq looks up to Dovienya rather highly, and while Dovienya does not provoke Cierra's deeper,
more playful side as some of the others do, she does bring about a side of Cierra that even fewer manage to do- a submissive side of her. Dovienya's commands seem to make Cierra act almost professional.
Cierra looks up to Anaguma. Whereas Dovienya connects with Cierra's more often-seen side, Anaguma taps into Cierra's sarcastic self. The two of them have had few chances to work together, but she admires Anaguma's abilities and his self-absorbed outlook on life.
Ishaux is, as far as Cierra is concerned, a new person. Whatever relation he had to Charce is beyond her, as to her,
a new soul is a new person. And so far, Ishaux has done a nice job of sating Cierra's desire for work, and paid her well at it. She is wary to trust him, of course...
Cierra has spoken to Serick on occasion, and every time their attitudes have clashed. She doesn't hate the old Miqo'te,
but she's not the friendliest person herself either.
