Backstory:

Sierra was born to a very judging family. Her grandparents could not be more disapproving. She lived her whole life being told she wasn't supposed to be alive, and that she was a disappointment to her family. Mostly from her grandparents, but occasionally from her mother. Sierra's father was never around, always off fighting or training or doing god knows what, and also avoiding sierra's grandparents. She barely knew her father, and she tried to spend as little time with her grandparents as possible, for whenever she did they always talked about what a bad choice her mother made to mate with a non-wolf. Sierra spent most of her spare-time stealthily observing the medics and the blacksmiths. She was so intrigued by how the medics could mix different herbs and berries, and get different affects, either healing soothing, or just bringing down a headache. She also loved watching the blacksmiths mold and shape different metals, as well as stitching up leather and cloth, and making jewelry. Although her grandparents did not want her as a grandchild, her mom didn't particularly love her, and her father not being around, sierra had an okay pup-hood. But unfortunately sierra's mother became very ill, and came down with a deadly sickness. Sierra never left her mother's side other than to bring her mom something to eat or drink, or bringing her herbs from the medic's den. Her mother died when she was around the age of 8 months. Her father left her, and since everyone she loved either died, or left, she was stuck with her grandparents. And since her mother and father weren't around anymore, her grandparents abused and bossed her around, making her do all of their bidding. In her spare time she trained with the medics, training to become the next medic apprentice. She left her abusing home, and now is the medic apprentice to Dogs of Paradise.

How Sierra Became a Medic:

Sierra spent quite a lot of time with the medic, learning different remedies and mixtures. How different things have different affects on dogs. She spent so much time there, she missed a lot of her regular training, training to become an enforcer, like her father. But she hated doing that kind of stuff, and she saw how the enforcer's treated other dogs, and she did NOT want to be like that. Soon she had to go on a patrol with her training group, around the different tunnels. She was usually in the back, trailing along, looking at different things. Of course she brought her pouch, just in case they come across and herbs or moss. While the were walking, she came across a patch of different plants, growing in a small ray of sunlight. She opened her pouch, and started stuffing them in. But as she was plucking the tender leaves, she came across one she had never seen before, she sniffed it, then took a little nibble. It tasted kinda bitter, but with a sweet after-taste. She quickly packed her bag, and caught up with the patrol. Later on, after the patrol, she headed to the medic den to show the medic the new herb she found. And apparently it was a rare herb, the best herb for easing the pain and helping stop infection. Of course the medic scolded her for trying a new plant, but was very thankful.

And thats how Sierra got to be a medic apprentice. Now she spends her days in the medic den, always learning something new.
