Personality
Sirena has had a hard life and has worked for everything in it. This has made her seem harsh, bitchy, and distance at times. Though in reality, she's very soft and kind. The majority of her younger years were spent helping to care for her two younger siblings, when her father wouldn't and her mother couldn't. Though, naturally enough, Sirena does have a attitude. Whether that's her life or the jaguar in her (probably both), one thing you do not want do is piss her off. One thing stands strong though, she's a hard worker, and she doesn't like people who don't make the effort to even know what work is, be they rich or poor, she thinks everybody should know some kind of work. Even small work and responsibility like caring for a pet.

History
Born near the California/Mexico boarder, Sirena was dirt poor growing up, and with a alcoholic father, a disabled mother, and two younger siblings, it made things even harder at times. She practically raised her siblings, best she could anyway. At age 12 she went to the Mexican man who had a auto repair shop down the road and asked for a job. Feeling sorry for her, he gave her one. At first it was just as a a assistant, hauling things around. But he soon started teaching her about the mechanics of vehicles and by 15 he had her on as a mechanic, changing oil and everything.
It was also in her teen years that she discovered Kickboxing. Her little school didn't have much in the way of sports. But there was a man nearby who taught Kickboxing, and Sirena was immediately attracted to the sport. However, she had no money for lessons. So, she did what she always did, she worked for them. She asked the man if he would give her lessons in exchange for her cleaning up, doing chores around the studio, and such. He agreed,mainly out of charity. But him agreeing changed her life. Finally, here was a outlet for all her frustration, strength, and anger. She could release it in kicks and punches instead of against other people. Not only that, but she was good.
After just a year, Sirena made state junior champion, she made the nationals in another year but didn't win that year. The next though, the next she came back and won nationals. However, she could only dedicate so much time to it. She still worked at the auto shop, while meanwhile she saved up every penny she could. Not for her though, for her siblings whom she wanted to send to college. That was her ultimate goal and made it. She put both her siblings through college though missed out on it herself. That was okay though, she had other skills. She had also picked up Karate some other marshal arts training.
She moved to Los Angeles to try for a career as a Stunt Actress or if nothing else, stage hand. She figured, with her skills, she was bound to get one or both. She started as a stage hand, she was always good at fixing things, so when stuff started breaking, she was there. Until one day while on the set, their stunt actress fell and hurt herself, putting the produces in a panic. They had a deadline, it had to be done. Up stepped Sirena and said "I can do that.", she could. It was just a simple fight scene. Being despite and after seeing proof of her past experience with Kickboxing and karate, they allowed it. Much to their delight, she was perfect. So thus began that career.
She stayed in LA for a few years, doing this and that, until she decided it was time to move on again. She was getting older and her face wasn't much. She landed in La Jara a few months ago. Why, she wasn't sure. Something drew her in. She briefly considered leaving the state, but decided not to. Instead, she took her saved up money and opened a dojo, teaching Kickboxing and marshal arts. She mainly manages it, but also teaches some classes herself. Her main focus is on girls and women who need something, just like she did. But her dojo is bigender for both teachers and students and she welcomes pretty much anyone.
