Username: WajaGirl
Name: Sierrae [pronounced see-AIR-eye with a slight rolling R], nicknamed Si [pronounced sigh]. She was named after the scientific name of a subspecies of American pine marten living in Sierra, Nevada. Martens, small weasels looking similar to foxes, live mostly in Canada and some of the northern-most states in the US.
Gender: Female
Connection to her song(Let Her go by Passenger): Sierrae and her sister Justine lived alone in the middle of Alaska. They tried to avoid the cities to the best of their abilities, choosing a small town far away from any city. Some of the other townsfolk thought that their family had been cursed long ago by their father, and that their mother would have to give up her daughters to the spirits. Some say that she had died as a result of not wanting to give up her youngest daughter when she was born, though others say their father had simply kidnapped her. No one knows for sure.
Because of these rumors, the girls were avoided by most people, though they found peace and sanctuary at home together. It was a quiet place of solitude, yet they always smiled and enjoyed the silence. It allowed for reading, painting, and any activity imaginable. The sisters were closer than identical twins, one always helping the other. They had never argued about anything, that is, until the birds came.
During the cold winter, a flock of house sparrows would pull the metal gutter away from the edge of their house to find ways of creeping in for shelter and warmth. No matter what the two sisters did to try and stop them, the birds would always somehow end up back inside. They were quite troublesome, pecking at the wires in the attic and causing outages across the whole town - when one house goes out, they all go out.
One particular year, Justine was mopping the floor when she noticed a small, pink lump hiding behind the leg of her coffee table making some sort of odd noise. Creeping up, she noticed that it was a baby sparrow. It was shivering in the cold and chirping to try and find it's mother, who was long gone.
"How did you get down here, you rat?!" Justine screamed, pushing it around with her mop. "Get out right now!" Sierrae, hearing the commotion, ran downstairs.
"What is it, Jus-" her voice cut off as she noticed the hatchling. "A baby birdie! Of Justine, can we keep her?" Justine's face instantly turned sour.
"No, I wouldn't keep a disgusting bird if it was the last animal on Earth!" she spat, pointing the end of her mop at the bird and preparing to push it outside into the snow. Sierrae gasped, pushing her back and snatching up the baby.
"Can't you see its cold already? We have to take care of it! I won't let you hurt her." Justine snorted, snatching the baby and putting it inside of a box with a blanket.
"There, a nest. It'll be okay."
The sun began to set, and Justine couldn't help but feel guilty. The poor baby was all alone in the cold. What if it was dead? She started to regret leaving it out there, and ran outside to pull the box in. Opening it, she saw that the baby was laying still.
"No.. no.. I didn't mean for this to happen.." She grabbed a warm blanket and began to rub the baby, praying it would wake up. It slowly lifted it's head, and she silently thanked whatever gods were above.
The next morning, Sierrae woke up to see Justine asleep with the baby curled up in her fur. She smiled as Justine opened her eyes, yawning as she gently stroked her warm skin.
"What happened to not keeping a bird if it was the last animal on Earth?" Sierrae asked. Justine smiled, nodding slowly.
"I felt bad. I only knew I loved her when I let her go."
