Smolder

Sierra/Smolder, Host of Hate, The Force of Maintaination and main character of the Panic Stories | she/her

Sierra is the most recent incarnation of a facet of god that maintains the balance between creation and destruction – and she has no idea of it. Neither does she acknowledge that the hateful voice in her head is not the byproduct of her childhood of neglect but actually an eldritch being that is intent on never letting her discover her true potential.

Sierra’s loathing is like a smoldering coal, a slow-burning hate for everything and everyone around her. People may care about her, but she finds nothing in her heart for them – not for her older brother, who practically raised her, and especially not for York, who has nurtured an ill-fated childhood crush on her for far too long.

At the start of the Panic Stories, Sierra is working on the legitimate side of Henry Landcaster’s business. She has a vague but persistent sense that he’s up to something and keeps a close eye on him. Sierra doesn’t like Panic much either, but in the choice between creation of a new world or destruction of the old one, she chooses the former, giving Panic the go ahead to birth the Post-Panic Universe. That’s the quiet end of her story, as the god aspect she housed ascends to a higher plane of existence, and her mortal self is never seen again.  

Like most of the Panic Story characters, Sierra is human and only appears as a coyote anthro in my art. She gets her double-ringed yellow eyes from Hate’s influence.
