General Appearance:
Sienna wouldn't call herself a fashionista but she does enjoy the finer things in life. Ross and Marshalls are two stores that she could call her best friends at times. Usually you can see her sporting a number of dresses and skirts, or in the colder months, will be found wearing the finer jeans and she almost never wears tennis shoes. Heels, flats and sandals are where she feels most comfortable, and at 5'9", she typically prefers the latter options.
She sports red hair and the common freckled skin that is usually associated with Gingers. Her eyes are a blue that can occasionally, in the right light, appear green. Her build is very thin and fragile with womanly curves, and though she'd probably deny it, she is a sight for sore eyes.
Personality:
Introvert Acting Extrovert
The idea for an introvert acting extrovert is not something some people can wrap their head around, but for Sienna, it makes complete sense. The redhead enjoys going out and performing, and most times she will not say no to a party; but after, she usually needs a day of calm and isolation in order to recuperate. Back to back and consistent human interaction drains her, and without that day of rest, she typically can get very agitated or stressed out.
Low Self Esteem
Years of teasing by her peers has left her weary of her own self. Being a 'Souless Ginger' was the first of many shots towards her pride, and it only seemed to get worse as time progressed. Her insecurities also stem from her inability to please her parents in academics and personal life. As a child with parents who had a lack of a college education, they had high standards for their 'rising' star who showed the most potential academically. And because Sienna couldn't keep up, she felt she failed them, thus effectively causing herself to begin to question her own self-worth. To hide it, she usually masks it with sarcasm and laughs.
Organized
Going back to the parental expectation, Sienna has found herself to be a very organized person. Agendas in every bag, at her office table, and attached to her refrigerator via a refrigerator magnet, the redhead had learned to always have her day planned out, leaving only Saturdays for spontaneous activity. It started in her early high school days when her parents no longer dictated her activities and school work, and the behavior simply continued to modern day.
Creative
Piano and Violin are the girl's life, practicing on rotation for an hour a day. She also enjoys using vocals and the written words. Sienna doesn't see the world in the simple way that most people do; she sees the world in song and words. Each memory has its own tune and an own set of words set down on paper. She writes her own songs and stories, and loves to perform at coffee shops and she has a blog online.
Empathetic
She is also highly perceptive to the feelings of the people surrounding her, and will act accordingly to those signals. Should someone be upset, she'll simply prod for a moment to see how she would help, but if nothing else, than she would simply leave them be. Her goal is simply to make everyone around her happy, because it makes her happy, but Sienna knows when she can help and when she cannot.Your VicesLikes:

Mother: Emily Michelle Reid-Estrada (45)

Any Other Important People: Silver Tabby Scottish Fold named HollyHistoryMichael Alessandro Estrada was born in Cuba, with a mixed family of Scottish and Cuban descent. His mother was Scottish-American, and his father was a full blooded Cuban, born and raised on the island. Leah had been traveling the islands of the Caribbean when she had met Michael's father, Jorge and his father immediately claimed it was love. "Your mother's fiery red hair caught my eye." Michael's father would always say. They moved to Florida shortly after Michael's birth. And well, Michael wasn't too different when it came to the fiery redhead he met in school one day when he was 18.
It seemed the Estrada men were destined to be drawn to women with that color hair, and the personalities to match. Emily had played hard to get, but soon gave in to the Cuban charm of her pursuer, and two years later they were married.
At twenty and twenty two, their first son was born into the world; Gabriel Alessandro Reid-Estrada was given his name simply because they wanted the child's last name to represent both of the parent's equally. A short time later, their second child -a little red haired girl- was born. On September 8th, 1991, Sienna Kristin Reid-Estrada was brought into the world.
Sienna's early life was a relatively good one, though very busy. Her parents always had them working; Sienna had piano and violin lessons at her mother's hand while her eldest brother had sports of all kinds. It seemed to lessen, outside of school, when their sister Leah, and then even more when Samantha, was born. But academically? It only seemed to get harder and harder for Sienna to keep up.
It was expected of her to maintain a 4.0 GPA in High School, and at every moment that she had any less than that, her parents would always ask if there was more she could do to raise it back up, and if the answer was no, she would get a look of disappointment from her parents. That look was a look she would learn to detest, and even fear, as the years progressed.
She didn't have much time for friends or parties, but was always one of the most active in community events for community service, and the occasional performance for charity was always on her sleeve. She loved the feeling of making other's happy, and found that her music tended to have that effect. At one point, she told her parents she wanted to major in Music Education, but her parents disagreed. They said she wouldn't find a decent paying job with that. But graduation was rapidly approaching, and she was practically done with her AA at that time; she needed to make a decision then.
At 18, Sienna had managed to wrangle her two year degree on her sleeve before high school even ended by taking all AP courses and two dual-enrollment courses per semester for two years -including summer months-. Not even her eldest brother was able to do the same, and the pride in her parents eyes was something Sienna would forever remember.
But her ultimate decsion didn't make her parents all too happy, but they accepted it in the end; an English Major at UVM on full scholarship. She continued to perform at local campus shows, and local coffee shops. The redhead got her Bachelors at 20, moved off campus into a small one bedroom apartment in Pilot Ridge, roughly thirty minutes from the nearest UVM campus. She then decided to pursue a masters degree in English in order to teach.
At 22 and nearly done with her masters, she has a very long life ahead of her. Only time can tell what will happen next.
