Appearence:

Sienna isn't at all what people mistake her for when they see her, even though she fits the profile of a dumb blond perfectly. She is tall and fit looking with a kind face and beautiful blue eyes. She takes pride in her eyes, showing them off by accenting them with eyeliner and eye shadows that make them pop. Another thing she loves about herself is her smile. Its bright and inviting. She smiles so often people joke that her cheeks must hurt when she finally stops or that she doesn't even stop smiling when she goes to bed. She has a happy demeanor to her face over all, almost constantly.

Her hair, normally, is a long tangled mess of cute curls and on the weekend or days when she isn't going out somewhere, she keeps it that way. Sienna doesn't necessarily care about her hair all that much but she does know that the boy behind her in Calculus appreciates it very much if there isn't a frizzy bush of blond hay blocking his view. She does creative things with her hair but mostly she just blow-dries it a little in the morning so it doesn't poof up too much.

As far as clothing goes, Sienna wears what's comfortable. A pair of jeans and a t-shirt is all she needs to get by for the day. She does own nice clothing (and even a few garments that could be considered a little sexy) but she only adorns this attire when she needs to. She doesn't judge other people by their appearance and so she feels that if people want to know her, they shouldn't judge her by her appearance either, though most of the time they do anyways.

Personality:

Miss Sienna Benett is a total sweetheart, if you want to sum her up in one word. She's a geek in every sense of the word. She does all her homework, and even some extra problems each night, and she absolutely love, love, loves learning. She soaks up knowledge like a sponge. She has straight A's and she's never received anything lower than a B in her life.

She's nice to everyone. She trusts with all her heart and believes in the power of good over evil any day. No matter how much of a bully you might be, she'll still be able to see some good in you
even if she's basically making it up out of nowhere. Sienna isn't known to turn down anyone who needs her help, even if that means writing a whole report for someone the night before it's due. She'd give you the sweater off her back even in the rain if it meant that she could help you. She's been hurt before by this trait. They took advantage of her kindness, but she got through it with a smile on her face still and just shrugged it off her shoulders, continuing to be generous.

One thing you should really know about Sienna, though, is that she's a hopeless romantic. She believes in love one hundred percent and wont let anyone tell her otherwise. She's into every aspect of true love. Even waiting for the ONE before having sex. She's pure in every sense of the word. And this kind of also makes her a little delusional about the world, which probably attests to her kindness toward everyone.

Around her friends and family, she is always optimistic and has one of the best senses of humor you will ever find in a girl. She makes a joke of everything (or at least everything that is appropriate to make a joke of) and she likes to tell funny stories. Out of all the cousins in her generation, she seems to be the one most pulled together, too. She knows where she's going and she's paved a seamless road to get there. She wants to graduate top of her class and hopefully get into an English program at a really good college like Princeton or Stanford.

History:

She was surrounded by love the moment she was born on that warm rainy summer day in August down in Montgomery, Alabama. Her parents were the picture perfect idea of a family with Sienna being the youngest of four children. She lived in Montgomery for only two years before her family moved to Central to give her father better chance to pursue his writing career. To this day, Sienna's library is filled with her father's work. Books, magazine articles. She idolizes him and he is the reason she wants to be a writer.

Her family is a tight knit one, good and bad aspects going along with that. For as long as she could remember, Sienna knew everything about all her siblings and her mother and father, too. She knew about when her oldest sister was caught sneaking back into the house after being out with a guy four years older than her. She knew about her brother ditching class constantly to go smoke behind an old, unused building on campus. It seemed that all her siblings were always getting in trouble for one thing or another, so she decided that in order to cut her parents some slack, she would be a perfect child. She never did anything wrong. She never was the cause of her parents frustration. She loved them too much to put that kind of stress on them on top of having three other kids to worry about and keep an eye on twenty-four/seven.

Sienna always loved to just sit with her father or mother in a big comfy arm chair and listen to stories they told when they were younger. Especially the one about how they got married. It was so romantic, and would plant a seed of the perfect relationship in her head. It was a typical, cliche story about true love conquering all and it should have made Sienna gag like the rest of her brothers and sisters but she just adored it so much. He met her at college and they started dating. It was love at first sight, her mother says. And when they finally got serious, her mother took her father home to meet Sienna's grandparents, but the meeting did not go according to plan at all. They hated Sienna's father. They didn't like that he had come from a bad background with no money to his name, unlike their family who were filthy rich from owning a chain of factories since the industrial revolution. But Sienna's parents, against the wishes of her mother's family, went on living their lives. They graduated college and got married soon after, having their first child when her mother was twenty-seven. It had been smooth sailing ever since then, and her parents had come around eventually after they saw how hard working and faithful Sienna's father actually was.

Just the idea that a love like that existed made Sienna's heart swell. She vowed that she would always give everyone a chance after hearing this story so many times. And that she would believe in the power of love no matter if she got hurt in the process. All throughout elementary and middle school she was the sweetest girl and everyone was nice back to her. She focused on her schooling and learned about her knack for learning and how enjoyable it was to her. Occasionally, she was teased for being a teachers pet, but she always laughed it off and eventually everyone got bored of teasing a girl who would just pay no attention to it anyway.

High school came along, though, and the story changed. Girls became cattier, boys got taller and along with their height, their ego's grew larger. People who seemed inseparable in eight grade were stabbing each other in the backs with nasty rumors within two months of them entering CHS. She found her place with people who would stick with her no matter what. Sienna learned that she was apparently categorized as a 'geek' which didn't affect her at all except for that she had been labeled. It generally kept mean people away, though. She hasn't been really bothered through out her highschool career and she doesn't think that will change, even though it's possible since she's only a sophomore. She wants to get through the hard parts of life early so that one day she'll be able to look back on all her hard work and say it was worth it.

Nicely done in all areas. Sienna is a great character and you described her so well. I love how she's so eager to please and it all stems from her siblings. She seems like a giant sweetheart so I hope it'll be interesting to see which characters try to take advantage of her. Just make sure you do your claims and you'll be ready to go.
