Taylor Sahraoui

A hardworking, down-to-earth cowboy with a strong loyalty to her town, people and lay of the land. As the sheriff of Sienna Valley, nothing gets past her mighty lasso, single action revolver, or her well-trained arms.

Growing up a humble farmhand means that she lives life simply - with her trusty steed, of course.

• Her immigration to America came after years of obsession about the nation’s Heartland and Old West geography, history, and culture. Taylor was already acclimated to hard labor in a dry climate, so despite being alone for the first time in a foreign country, she found her place and people right away.
  • She is often confused for someone born-and-raised in America. This isn’t helped by her accent, which has shifted from a strong Australian to a stronger Southern twang.
  • This influenced her sister Avril to move to America as well; though the younger Sahraoui found her home on the sandy shores instead.
• Oakley, her middle name, was given in tribute to her grandfather, William Oakley Sahraoui. He lived with the Sahraouis on their farm, passing up chores in favor of boasting about his best years as a cattle ranch showman. These exciting tales of dubious authenticity made a strong impression on the young Taylor.
• Revolvers are Taylor’s firearm of choice. She always has one strapped on her holster, but it’s never loaded in her day-to-day; the bullets are kept separate in her pocket.
  • Having been taught hunting skills as a child, she practiced her marksmanship more enthusiastically than she studied for school. She justified it to her family by entering shooting competitions and providing for them financially with her winnings. And since she could shoot a cigar out of m’daddy’s hand, they learned not to interfere with her passion.
• She opposes animal cruelty of any kind. When she hunts, she makes sure that death is instant and necessary. Even her first kill - done with a squirrel at the age of 9 - was a clean shot through the head.
