Biography:
Sierra was born the oldest twin of Angelica and Esteban Lupita in Barcelona Spain. Life before 2020 had been drastically different for the Luptia family. Sierra didn't remember it, not much. She vaguely remembered the bedroom she had, the pink butterflies floating around the ceiling on strings, the mural on the wall of flowers and their winged friends. Her brother's room was decked out in trains. All sorts of cute and humanized vehicles scattered across the floor.
But her memories where just that, they were almost dream like. Her room in the compound was a cement wall with doodles in charcoal. You could tell her earliest drawings from those of her teenage years. The thin lights of lanterns were scattered through out the compound. They had lived in the bunker since the world broke out in turmoil. What electricity they had was from the generator Esteban had pulled through the mountains. It didn't run off of a traditional fuel, it was something special her father had concocted. Sierra didn't understand, didn't really care.
Sierra and Aaron had heard the terror of the natural disasters since they could remember, the tell-tell tales of the worlds end was coming and the Lupita family was going to ride it out.
Thankfully Angelica was a teacher and the children were allowed an education. Sierra's favorite from nearly the moment her mother handed her an Art history book was photography. For her 13th birthday her mother and father sold enough trinkets at market to buy her a camera. It wasn't much but she loved it.
When she was 17 things started to get weird. Her and Aaron would be out in the woods playing hide n seek, and voices would appear in her head. Not voices so much as pictures that spoke to her. Aaron confided in her that he too was hearing the same thing.
Sierra started taking photos with the camera her mother had given her, and sold them at market. The few times they went, Sierra found people were buying her photos because of their nature. She didn't know it at the time, but they were being put into magazines for minor publications. It wasn't until she found a national geographic magazine sitting thrown away on the side of the market stall, that Sierra realized that she could do that. Take those pictures.
Sierra spent the next three years in the woods taking pictures of things, and earning enough money to buy a high class camera. And then the money started rolling in, she even got the nerve up to send a few to National Geographic, she didn't hear anything back, but she kept trying.
At the age of 20 something extraordinary happened. Sierra actually spoke to a wolf, it was left for dead by some hunters who had killed the mother. Sierra had waited until she was sure the pack wasn't going to come for it before she nursed it back to health. They spoke mind to mind. And in doing so she learned about what she was and what been happening to her. Wolves were apparently granted a good portion of hereditary knowledge, that and they communicated with each other telepathically. He was her constant companion, Drifting Snow. The imagery present in his name was beautiful, she understood the concept, she called him Snow.
It wasn't until a year later that Sierra started watching the wolves more closely, taking pictures of them in action. She became one of them. Her brother, fell into with them, but his direction went south fast. He became more wolf like the more he had contact with the wolves. He lost his humanity. His parents were worried about him, so they tried to catch him, but he bit Sierra in their attempt to catch him.
Their father had found a specialist in town when they were at market. The man was traveling from Moscow, looking for weird things. He was subtle in his questions he seemed liked a good man, but he caught and killed Aaron in cold blood. And he tried to kill Sierra and her friends. The wolves helped protect Sierra. Sierra believed her family didn't survive the attack. He was fearsome but the only thing Sierra remembered was the snake tattoo on his left arm.
Sierra moved on, but the day always bothered her. The pictures of the wolf pack she'd taken she sold to National Geographic for a tidy sum. It was her first 15 minutes of fame, she hoped for more.
A few years later, in 2045, Sierra went to Moscow looking for answers. With her long time companion along as a so-called pet, she found herself in a city for the first time in a very long time with a large snow white wolf at her side.

Snow was tired of dead pig or cow meat, Sierra decided to check out alternative live methods of procuring food for her lovely beast. While the hedgehog failed to meet expectations for both Sierra and Snow, Sierra met two curious two leggers looking for pet hedgehogs.

Sierra and Snow went out hunting. There they met Calvin, another wolfkin like herself. Together they hunted and tended the meat afterwards. It was good to meet another like her, Snow was happy to be part of a pack.

After talking with Calvin, Sierra knew that her brother had lost himself in the dream world. Sierra went in chasing her answers. Snow started teaching her control, and they ran into Calvin and his pack mate. It was an interesting game they played. Calvin and Sierra made a 'date' to meet up for coffee in the real world before Sierra slipped off to reality to catch some sleep.

The day started out fairly well. Sierra met Calvin at the coffee shop. Snow sent both of them rather embarrassing sendings. He had no concept of human relationships. They decided to go practice Calvin's bow technique. Upon arriving at the edge of the woods, Snow leaped off into the woods chasing after something that upset him greatly. They found poachers.
The day turned sour as Calvin rushed in to save Snow. What little good it did, Sierra shot and later killed the second poacher. Snow however did not make it. Sierra was saddened and lost with out her friend, unwilling to accept help or comfort from Calvin.
Her only goal was to make men like them pay. But she didn't know how. Killing the man had put a strain on her reality.
