Sienna Opal

""You looked sad, and since everyone likes cookies I baked you some. And since I know you love puppies they're shaped like little puppies!""

- Sienna to a sad Krisis

Appearance
Standing at 5'7 and 135 lbs, Sienna is an above average very cute girl. She is constantly having to brush her long dark orange hair out of the way of her deep brown eyes hidden behind a pair of white glasses. She has a long cluster of cute freckles across the bridge of her nose and cheekbones. She also typically has a pair of steampunk looking googles resting on her head that fit over her glasses when in combat.

Sienna has a black bandanna that hangs around her neck that covers her nose and mouth when in combat like her googles. She wears a light tan tank top underneath her favorite dark brown vest, and wears a pair of fingerless black leather gloves

. Her light brown belt's only purpose is to hold her pouches of dust and brass knuckles as she wears skin tight black leggings along with knee high dark brown combat boots.

Personality
Being raised in a middle class vale family, Sienna not only understands the importance of hard work and has respect for those who work as hard as they can to put food on the table. Her love for books can be traced back to her parents reading to her every night before bed, and whenever she is alone in her room one usually finds her with her nose in a book. This books contribute to her superior intelligence over her other team members, which leads her to help them with school work commonly.

Sienna spent of her childhood around her family she is unfortunately slightly social awkward around strangers. Once someone is close to her though, they see what she is: a big ball of quirky sweetness.She also feels the compulsive need to bake for those who are sad. In short she is the smart, quirky pure cinnamon roll of team SSKI, and God help any one who picks on the cinnamon roll in front of the rest.

Backstory
After he got let go from the Schnee dust company after a mine explosion caused many medical problems for him, Sienna's father moved to vale with his with Carrie Opal and not only set up his own dust shop but also had two beautiful girls: Sienna and her older sister Daisy. Her childhood was pretty basic and normal with her parents being happily married, her older sister being her best friend and never having to worry about food. All through her childhood her parents read her stories about the legendary hunters of remnant and Sienna wanted to become one, which her father encouraged her to follow this dream up until his death bed. Once her father passed from severe medical problems from his old mining accident she thought her dream would never be realized because she had to help around at the store, but her mom had other plans.

Sienna's mom surprised her one day with an acceptance letter into Signal academy. She was so excited that she packed that night, even though she wouldn't leave for at least a week later. Once at Signal Sienna studied her hardest and did her best to get into beacon. This is where she got her combat skills, intelligence and her signature weapon her slingshot gauntlet, that's used to fire dust pellets, called Bishop's guard and a set of lightning dust covered brass knuckles called Ruerk. Eventually, all her grueling work at Signal she got accepted into Beacon with very little trouble on her entrance exam.

Once at Beacon Sienna grew nervous at the thought of having to work with other people all the time, and was afraid that no one would like her. This quickly faded once Ozpin launched them all into the forest as their first assignment. While in the forest she meet her new best friend, teammate and eventually crush; Krisis Bloodstone. After that she became part of team SSKI (sky) with Sable Slate, her new bff Krisis, and Indigo Moonstone. The four quickly became very close and always stood up for one another in every situation. Even when Beacon fell they all defended each other with the same determination that the defended the innocent with.

Post Fall of Beacon
Now that their home was destroyed, team SSKI went on a crusade against the white fang's militant tactics and Sienna always tried to keep them in good spirits. Despite this she is always worried about Krisis not seeing her as more than a friend. Sable has told her just to tell him and see what happens, but no time ever seems right to Sienna.

Krisis Bloodstone- New protective and funny best friend, current crush

Physical attributes
Sienna's time at Signal definitely helped her become as good as she is in combat. Despite this among most hunters and huntresses she is only ever so slightly above average when it comes to strength. However, she excels at thinking ahead and helps create team SSKI's various combat strategies. Her superior intelligence allows her out think the enemy she is facing, and think one step ahead of them.

Bishop's Guard
Sienna prefers not to engage an enemy is close-quarters combat, hence her primary weapon being a ranged weapon. Dubbed Bishop's Guard, this modified metal gauntlet piece is strapped to her left forearm and has two metal bars on either side that raise up at an acute angle with a piece of thick leather cord hanging between them that serves as the method of propulsion for the ammunition. Also called the 'slingshot gauntlet' Bishop's Guard is usually used in unison with dust crystals that get fired as projectiles at her enemies.

Ruerk
Despite her best efforts to avoid it, sometimes Sienna has to fight up close even if just for a little while. To assist in this she has a pair of brass knuckles that sit in a leather pouch on the back of her belt. Dubbed Ruerk (persian for guardian and translates into rook), the pouch these knuckles reside in typically has crushed dust in them which coats the knuckles. Usually they're coated in lightning dust and used to stun the enemy so she can back up to use Bishop's Guard.

Semblance: Blur
Sienna can use her aura to cause a slightly blurry image of herself to appear at most two feet away from her in either direction. This image can only exist for as long as she can hold her breath and concentrate, any break in either of those or the image getting hit will cause the illusion to break. This is usually used as a distraction next to or in a large bush or tree.

Quotes
"Really? You're going to question the notes of the only one of us with a passing grade in Oobleck's?" - when Krisis questioned if her notes were right

"I mean...I don't know how he feels about me. I hope he feels the same way but I don't want to tell him and him not to so he thinks of me differently and it ruins our friendship. But what if he does feel the same but doesn't think I do?! ARGH!!!! thanks for listening Indigo you're awesome." -Sienna chewing hard of hearing Indigo's ear off about her boy problems

"You looked sad, and since everyone likes cookies I baked you some. And since I know you love puppies they're shaped like little puppies!" -after giving Krisis some cookies to cheer him up
