Sierra is the only child of Shawn and Lana Summers.
She and her family live in XXX in a sizable compound that was granted to them by the US government, courtesy of the various missions they regularly undertake on behalf of the government. Most people would consider it a dream life. But...most people don't live with their father and grandmother, both renowned superheroes in their own right.
And both currently holding some grudge with you...

Sierra's father, Centurion, has long felt like he lived in the shadows of his own mother's heroics. His powers were not as impressive as hers, and he never had any of the heroics to which to claim his own spot of fame like Lady Cosmic. And now that his daughter had developed his mothers powers and was growing stronger by the day...and already getting plenty of her own media attention...he was starting to grow even more frustrated.

And Lady Cosmic, while not upset at the slow decline of her powers while her granddaughter inherited them, held Sierra to such high standards and expectations that she often felt smothered. Lady Cosmic was regularly critiquing her use of her powers, or the style of her superheroine outfit she manifested, or the group of friends she was associating with, or on and on...

Sierra was always one of the most popular girls around. She's nice, bubbly, and used to attention. But she is also loyal, empathetic, and...in ways...naïve.

Sierra has super strength, it's upper limits have yet to be determined. Also, she seems to be truly invincibile, and while she does still feel pain, nothing has been found to cause her any real bodily harm. She is able to survive in the vacuum of space and dove to Atlantis without needing to breath. She is also capable of flying at high speed, though there are faster flyers in existence.

Sierra is a beautiful 20 year old woman, which comes with all the normal boons and problems that entails. She dresses in trendy clothing normally.

Backstory:
When did you officially become a part of your legacy? At age 18 when her powers manifested.

What's the greatest accomplishment of your legacy? Her grandmother, Lady Cosmic, took out a cosmic being that was attempting to turn the Earth into an incubator for its spawn!

How does the public perceive your legacy? The Summers are Hero-Celebrities, who have the trust of the US government and are often turned to for help in various tasks that need that extra oomph a superhero provides.

How does your legacy tie into your reasons for being a hero? Sierra has long known the life that was going to be ahead of her, and now that life has arrived. She knows she has to do what is expected of her, but she also wishes to be able to live her own life sometimes.

Why do you care about the team?

Legacy:

Still active and prominent in the city: Her Father, Shawn Summers, also known as "Centurion." He is able to manifest weapons and armor and also being incredibly strong. Even so, he has never lived up to his mother’s fame.

Retired and Judgmental: Her grandmother, Lady Comsic, Elizabeth Summers. She has powers similar to Solaria, but as the young girls power grows, her own diminishes. She is very traditional and has a lot of expectations from Sierra.

Greatest enemy our legacy has faced that is still at large: Omega
