Lady Sienna Olguin is the fourth child, second daughter, of Baron Tadeo Olguin, of Theynia, one of the many nations of Kaanash, Drexilar Subsector, Reaver's Deep Sector.

As a child of a noble, she lived a life of luxury and her early education geared her towards a life of service in the name of the crown. While attending college, she accompanied her parents on diplomatic missions once in a while. On one of these missions, a tsunami hit the country she was visiting, and in the ensuing disaster, she volunteered to help out where she could. Being assigned to a medical team, she worked tirelessly alongside doctors and nurses from many nations, catching the eye of a young Baron Heinrich Reichart, of Wesmanta.

The two started dating, and after several years, and at the age of 25, Sienna and he tied the knot. At their wedding, one of the guests, Vladěna Belohlávková, in a drunken state, challenged Sienna, as Vladěna had also pined for Heinrich, had known him for years longer than Sienna, and considered her to be an upstart and false claimant. When Sienna not only refused to back down, but rose to the occasion (even though she had no weapon skills at all), the Lady Vladěna backed down, realizing that Sienna truly loved Heinrich. Once passions had cooled down, Lady Vladěna and the newly crowned Baroness Sienna Reichart actually became good friends.

After a couple of years of marriage, Driomora, a nation that had been at odds with Wesmanta for over two centuries, suffered a coup, and a pro-Wesmanta leadership took over, opening up the country to visits from Wesmantian citizens for the first time in anyone's memories. As Driomora and Wesmanta had once been a single country, scholars and representatives of the ruling family were eager to visit historical sites and do research into family histories. Research that had been lost. Given her charm and bearing, Sienna was asked to go along and help out with the efforts. Delving through the ancient libraries and archives in Sinmäe, one of the ancient cities of Driomora, Sienna found several interesting artifacts. While in the pursuit of more information, she suffered a minor misfortune when some of the old shelves collapsed on her. While she escaped unharmed, the government deemed the area unsafe for the time being. Sienna believes that she was onto something momentous when this occurred, and isn't beyond suspecting the shelves collapsing were intentional.

Between the birth of her kids, Sienna still worked with the government of Driomora to help bring about lasting peace between the two countries. But many citizens, of both sides, were not as happy with the situation. They had been told the other country was wicked for so long that they were having a hard time adjusting to the newfound friendship. Several death threats were made against different members of both countries, and a successful assassination left the nobles reeling. A trainer was assigned to Sienna to help her learn how to use a gun properly, even though it went against her desires. She'd rather have spent the time writing articles and books for both countries to help them resolved their differences, but being nobility, one must follow the whims of others.

Even though there were tensions, and some worries, life was going real well for Sienna. At 35, she was happily married, well-liked, had three kids, and everything was going great. And then disaster struck. While they were vacationing on their yacht (ocean), a purported gas leak caused it to explode, killing all on board, except Sienna. As she had gone up on deck and to the far end of the yacht to look at the stars at the end of dinner, she was thrown clear of the explosion, but her family, and the servants were all still down in the dining room when it occurred. With the terrific fire that engulfed the boat, there was no way anyone could have survived. Even Sienna would've drowned if she hadn't been picked up by a passing ship that had seen the explosion. Still, the hour in the water until they found her clinging to a piece of wreckage, and being thrown from the boat, took their toll on her. She spent several months in a hospital recovering, and even after she was released, realized that her body had been weakened quite a bit.

After her recovery, the Reichart family decided her work in Dromoria was too dangerous, and they 'offered' her a position working with their off-world trading company, Trekords. She was too accompany Baroness Seraphine, ten years her junior, as she went to negotiate trade contracts with interstellar partners. Although Kaanash was part of the Imperium, it's ancient technology made it unattractive to most off-worlders, and this was seen as a dead end, but safe position. The changes in her life-- the loss of her family, her weakened body, the position as a glorified nanny, the isolation from the main part of the family (since she was only a Reichart by marriage, not blood) caused Sienna to fall into a depression. Turning to alcohol and medication to overcome her pains, mostly emotional, she led an empty shell of a life. She still tended to her duties, keeping the young Baroness safe and seeing to her needs. In her spare time, she kept up her writing, hoping to bring some lasting peace and hope to the unsteady relationship between the two nations.

They say that for every door that closes another one opens, and so it was with Sienna. Although she was no longer working relations between Wesmanta and Dromoria, she had met several new contacts while working for Trekords. One of them offered her a chance to set up an office on Astoria, to handle food trades between Kaanash and Astoria. As this was her first chance to go off-world, she jumped at the opportunity, and moved to Astoria. While the change did not completely shake her out of her doldrums, seeing the differences between the worlds woke her up to how much more of the universe there was to see and lit a spark of adventure in her. When the office was up and running smoothly, she resigned her position, and took an offer with a benefactor, who offered her the use of a Yacht to see the galaxy, while at the same time, being on call, if they needed her expertise to help with a situation. Having lost her family on Kaanash, and then being relegated off to the sidelines, Sienna had no reason to remain loyal to the Reicharts.

So now, she travels the galaxy, seeing new worlds, and helping out where she can. While she has a lot of leeway in what she does, she knows that periodically she'll be asked to help on some situation or the other. She still maintains a small estate on Kaanash, and her publishing business, Amastories, but otherwise has no ties to the planet.
