    Genealogy: Child of a Drow mother and an unknown father. Physical Traits: She has a slim figure with light grey skin and two red birthmarks in the shape of hourglasses on her upper bicep. She has a pair of normal crimson colored eyes and a pair of compound crimson colored eyes just above her eyebrows that are concealed by the thick bangs of her long black hair. In addition to her extra set of eyes she also has an extra set of arms located just behind(below?) her normal arms. She wears a dark green cloak at all times to conceal her abnormalities. Early Life: When she was an infant, her mother enraged the great spider goddess Lolth, and as a punishment she had been deformed and her mother was turned into a Drider. After fleeing the underdark, the two settled in a secluded cave in the mountains, where Sienna spent the first several years of her life. During this time her mother taught her the language undercommon, and the basics of combat. Around the age of 6 her mother was slain by an adventuring party, fearing that they would kill her as well, she fled into the forest. She was found a few days later by the herbalist Agetha (who Sienna nicknamed “Aggy”) while the middle-aged woman was foraging. The herbalist took her back to the small cabin at the edge of the village of Greeley, giving Sienna her current name and teaching her common tongue. She had always had a natural affinity towards spiders, and the small creatures would often gather in secluded corners of the cabin, making it difficult to keep the place clean. In exchange for daily sweeping the cobwebs from the ceilings and corners, the caretaker agreed to teach her how to read and write. During Sienna’s youth she was often outcast by the other townspeople for her strange looks. Awakening Powers: As she began developing physically, her arcane abilities developed as well. They quickly became unwieldy, causing various small fires around the village, and one unfortunate incident where a patch of the surrounding forest had burnt down. This caused the villagers to become frightened and enraged, often shouting slurs or even attempting to harm her if she went into the town center. This drove her to spend most of her days working with her caretaker, and her nights sneaking off to practice her powers deep in the woods where she could do no harm. Tragedy and Guilt: Around the time of her 17th “birthday” (this was the day Agatha had found her in the woods) there was a large gathering in the square, as it had seemed that a giant spider had somehow found its way into town and killed some of the farmer’s prized livestock. Enraged, the peasants blamed Sienna, stating that she had bid the spider to hunt them. During the night, while both she and Agatha were asleep in their beds, the townsfolk stormed their house and set it ablaze. Sienna had just barely escaped with her life, but her caretaker was not so fortunate. When she realized that again humans had taken her mother away from her, she went into a blind rage. She used her arcane powers to will the fire that consumed her house outward towards the common folk surrounding it, catching many of the people and the surrounding brush and trees on fire. The townspeople fled, fearful, as the area burned. Once she came back to her senses, she felt immense guilt, believing that she had become the monster the people had always thought her to be. Gathering what little she could, she fled the village. Her magic had been spent, and she was terrified of the consequences she would face. She took refuge in the forest while she tended to her wounds and regained her strength. She felt guilt weigh her conscience to the point where she returned to the village to accept her punishment, even if it meant death. No life remained in Greeley when she arrived. The streets and houses were empty, some burnt completely to the ground. Overcome with grief, she collapsed, crying, in the center of the massacre, until she could shed no more tears. She charged herself with the burial of every town member, removing the bodies from the rubble and giving them a small ceremony, each with their own plot. This took several days, and pushed Sienna to the point of physical and mental fatigue. She vowed to never again use her powers out of anger, and, after taking a few essentials from the store (A quarterstaff, some of the remaining rations, a large, dark green cloak) She set off to live as a wanderer, never staying any place to long, in fear that someone may uncover the secret of her identity.
