Early Life/Torren (2001-2017)

Born in Torren to the then-current seer of the town Agnes, who rejected her at birth due to not wanting children in the first place and her arranged husband passing shortly after she became pregnant. Instead, Siena was raised by Agnes' partner and the current town leader, Maren, while she maintained a more distant family relation to Siena, similar to an Aunt.

On her 5th Seers day, Siena was chosen to become the next seer once she reached adulthood, forcing her into a life with no choice, similar to her mother's fate. She had to mature quickly, delving into the town's religion and scripture instead of playing with children her age. Additionally, she was promised to Jeremiah when they both turned 18, who until then had just been a friend.

Siena, Jeremiah, and their friend Marie remained tight-knit throughout their childhood and youth, finding solace in their shared displeasure with life in Torren, where they all felt trapped despite it being in different ways.

At 16, Siena and Jeremiah started planning their escape from Torren, pretending to develop romantic feelings to spend more time together and plan. Unfortunately, this meant leaving Marie behind, but they saw no other option as including her would be too suspicious. On the night of their escape, they were caught by Maren, who attempted to stop them using force. Despite earning a large cut on her face and enough guilt to sink a ship, Siena and Jeremiah managed to flee and hitchhiked their way to Nethercow City mostly unharmed.

Nethercow City and Icepick (2017-2020)

In the city, they worked to establish new lives for themselves. Attending night school alongside their part-time jobs, they aimed to catch up on the education they missed during their childhood. Being minors, they received financial assistance from the city government, helping them manage their expenses while they were in school and couldn't work full-time.

During this time, Siena and Jeremiah grew closer, eventually entering a relationship. They appreciated having the freedom to choose each other rather than being forced into it. They both started attending therapy to heal from their upbringing in Torren.

At 18, Siena ran away again from Nethercow City, leaving Jeremiah behind because of an accidental pregnancy which she aborted and didn't tell him about out of fear and embarrassment. Due to the stress and guilt of hiding it from Jeremiah despite knowing he would support her regardless of her choice, she left and spent a year on Icepick with Rhys in charge. However, her declining mental health, which she had been suppressing since she left NCC, surfaced once Rhys went missing. When Xiias arrived on Icepick searching for its Admin, it and Siena ran into each other. Xiias being worried and Siena paranoid and on the brink of a mental breakdown.

Because of her upbringing in Torren, where she was taught that Angels were holy beings she was meant to communicate with for the town once she reached adulthood, Siena lashed out and fatally wounded Xiias in her fear. She had left Torren fully believing that the town's religion was fake, and Angels didn't exist. In that moment, she failed to consider other explanations.

Nethercow City (2020-2024)

Following the incident, Siena returned to NCC in a panic. However, her prolonged absence left Jeremiah with negative feelings towards her, preventing her from returning to their old shared apartment. During her time away, Marie had also managed to leave Torren and was now in a relationship with Jeremiah.

Siena and Marie had luckily remained on good terms, which helped mend Siena's friendship with Jeremiah. Neither wanted to go back to their romantic relationship but they both missed each other's companionship as friends. After finally sharing the reason for why she left and reconciling with Jeremiah, Siena encountered Xiias again on her way home. Despite being told about Angels most of her youth, everything she learned was incorrect and they were instead just a different species rather than holy beings. That being said, they could cheat death in most scenarios which led her to have a very negative impression on Xiias initially when they met again.

Xiias, losing energy for why it was in Nethercow City in the first place, chose to get to know Siena better rather than returning to Istillor permanently after Icepick's collapse. Siena was initially skeptical of Xiias's intentions, given their past encounter, but gradually warmed up to it as they discovered common interests and enjoyed each other's company.

Siena eventually invited Xiias to move in with her, sharing the rent and providing it with a home in Nethercow City. As they grew closer, they eventually entered into a relationship, though they kept it more private than Siena's previous one with Jeremiah. They choose not to display their relationship publicly very often, as neither of them enjoy being under scrutiny and being with an Angel in Nethercow City was enough of a spectacle already.
