BASIC INFO

Seraphine is a content handmaiden of Ishgard. Very loyal to her masters as well as her friends, she’d do whatever she could for them. Though after leaving the snowy city for warmer climates, she struggles with deep issues, hidden behind her mask.

Seraphine is a wandering Succubus. After the events of her Hyur body being broken, she now travels from place to place just trying to survive hidden in glamours. Despite the recent changes, she still retains the same struggles as before-- as well as new one that will test her resiliance and rationale.

HISTORY

This consist of OOC information. If wish to use, please contact player.

Born From Sin

Born different amongst the others of the realm, Seraphine’s birth was a tragic one. Her mother seduced and was impregnated by a priest of Nymeia named Saint James Fletcher. In the eyes of the goddess, this was a crime against her and believing it was just, she cursed the child that was to be born. In hatred over this, Bellatrix burned down the Nymeian church in the North Shroud in retaliation. Growing up in the Void proved difficult as well; aside from looking much different than the others, many of the voldlings challenged her. Many of them did not succeed, only growing to Sera’s power—just like her mother. As the years moved on, she continued to grow and learn of the mortal realm, preparing herself to comply to her curse. At eighteen, she left the Void and started to serve a multitude of people, traveling across the realm.

The White Void

For a while she became masterless, wandering around until she reached Ishgard. There she was taken in by the Lord of the Duredaire House. She served them for multiple years, seeing Lords die, children born, and heirs rise. From these children, she grew fond of Nenanie Durendaire, often found at her side throughout the city and manor. They grew close after a certain event, revealing to the teen of Sera’s true nature. Instead of death, Neena protected her from then on. All was well during her stay, minus a few incidents amongst knights and other visitors of the manor. It wasn’t until Neena’s adulthood that things turned for the worse. She left to follow her mother’s footsteps against her father, and as a result, Sera was forced to stay with Lord Durendaire. Not until the war worsen. Sera was sent to the other city-states for supplies, ordered not to return until her tasks were completed or if anything bad were to arise.

Welcome to the End

Reaching Gridania was the after so long brought back some memories. Awful ones. But it wasn’t too bad after blending in as an adventurer; a novice archer. She stayed a few months before leaving the place for good, seeing that the officers were taking more notice. From there she settled in Ul’dah, taking aid from the Thaumaturge Guild. With their aid, Sera started her mission on getting necessities but as a bonus, she found her missing master.

The Void says Hello

Many moons and many friends, it was safe to say that she was settling in fine in the city-states-- was safe to say. After much happening, part of her curse was broken along with her body and she retained a new one-- her true form. With it came some unexpected changes in personality, demeanor, and most importantly her looks. Seem like all involved with her now will have trouble adjusting to the angsty teen.

PERSONALITY

She’s very kind and polite, always addressing people as Ser or Madam ( Lord/Lady for important persons, and Mister/Miss for children and pets! ), though wants she’s cozy with you, she can be very taunting and teasing. Because of she shifts in tone, you can’t quite tell if she’s serious or joking, but never to harm anyone with such things. Curiosity is her main trait, along with her riddling chatter when explaining things or speaking in general. But with that, she has a huge fault; not quite understanding certain emotions and thought processes, or even reasons behind people’s actions. It usually gets her into a lot of trouble.

Quite rude and distant, Sera's attitude has changed for the worst-- and is still changing for the better? She abandoned the titles to people's names unless mocking them, which happens more often than not nowadays. Instead, she settles on pet names to entertain her when conversing with others (and trying to remember those from before the change). She tends to press buttons, often trying to stir up some sort of reaction most of the times, and changes tactics when things don't go her way. Most of the time if all else fails, she gets hostile; squinting or intense eyes and quiet tension is a usual tell. But despite all the negative changes, you can see her sturggling to revert to how she once was--quoting things she's said before, doing familiar gestures, and the hesitation of physical affection.

APPEARANCE

Five-fulm two and cute to boot! If you would consider her cute anyways. She quite short for a Midlander, though there are plenty that are shorter. Her skin is very pale, a good tell that she was from the Snowy North. A huge trademark of hers is her lavender hair, fixed in a high ponytail, and her Ashwood mask. Usually, you’ll catch Seraphine in one of three outfits—her yukata that she’s madly in love it, or one of two uniforms; a tabard dress with a metal plating in the front, or a blouse and tight in wine. Both of the uniform ornate a bell symbol, the emblem of House Durendaire.

Five-fulm two and deadly too! Cute wouldn't be a good word to describe her now. Being so young, she is quite short for her species; others like her ususally standing a few fulms taller than the tallest Roe or Elezen. Porcelain skin with a tinge of a corpe color with fragments of embedded armor along her face, neck, arms, legs and torso. It also extends down her spine and into her tail, which is barbed at the end. Her trademark hair color is still around, but longer and out of the signature ponytail, giving her the more Voidsent-look. The askwood mask is still here as well, but joining it are basic robes-- either worn will glamour her to look like her Hyurian self (left). Along with her old clothes, she sports new ones; some oasis clothes to blend in with citizens especially in Ul'dah, baggy pants with a hooded top, or something a bit more pleasing to the eye-- the little black dress.

PLOTLINES AND ACTIVITIES

This consist of OOC information. If wish to use, please contact player.

Sera can be found throughout the city-states and Coerthas, doing multiple tasks for her master(s). Often she’d seek out adventurers to help aid her in such tasks, paying big in rewards. When not doing errands, she’s mostly found handing out with her friends in Limsa, gambling her life away, or relaxing at Bronze Lake.

Ever since the incident in the Shroud, Sera is scarcely around in normal spots. You can catch her lurking around the Shroud in more isolated places, and if in town, she’s only there briefly in her glamour to get things or search out people. It’s more likely for her to find you than you finding her—either way would be bad.

More time has passed and more changes have fallen on the voidling. Sera mindlessly wanders back to places she usually goes to. These places being Camp Bronze Lake and Limsa. Though still in the depths of the Shroud, you could also catch her in Gridania-- an donce feared place, and also Camp Tranquil, singing to the aethrical flowers-- and adamantoise!

BATTLE

This consist of OOC information. If wish to use, please contact player.

Sera is not one to fight, but if she needs to or to defend herself, she won't hesitate. In fact she has a few tricks and trades to chose from.

Archery

While in Ishgard, she took up a bit of archery since a sword or lance wouldn’t suit her needs. With it, she learned how to swiftly and successfully take down the largest of kills in a tough environment, using the elements to her advantage with such a fragile bow. She may not be the quickest compared to those of the Shroud, but she is tactful, resourceful, and quite versatile with what can be done with a bow and arrow.

Black Magic

Rather than learning the ways of Black Magic, she learned how to water it down to make it seem like Black Magic. With scepter in hand, Sera has the ability to do mundane magic safely. If possible.

• Lightning: Small orb of static that can be launched at target
• Blizzard: Use to freeze over multiple surfaces and/or people
• Fire: Explosive energy that can be launched or spread over surfaces and/or people
• Sleep: A thick purple fog that rolls over to lull targets into slumber
• Scathe: Very concentrated force of aether that can be shot with pinpoint accuracy while sacrificing potency.
• Manaward: A large aetherical sphere to negate most magical attacks; the larger the weaker.

Void Magic

When not wielding a staff or scepter and times are rough, Sera can only cast Void Magic. Without a medium to concentrate her aether, she forced to use her hands as the medium, delivering potent and unstable magic.. Some of the Black Magic she knows cannot be casted like this, but it does open up other magical opportunites.

• Cold Mist: Draws targets in, then silences them and deals Ice damage.
• Dark Mist: Unleash terror upon foes in an area of effect.
• Void Fira: Unleash Fire at a target at a great distance
• Void Fire III: Unleash concentrated dark magicks to deal Fire damage to an enemy.
• Void Fire II: Unleash dark magicks to deal Fire damage to enemies in an area of effect.
• Void Thunder III: Unleash dark magicks to deal Lightning damage to an enemy.

RELATIONSHIPS

♥ Romantic Love    ♥ Platonic Love    ★ Trusted    ▲ Positive    ø Neutral    ▼ Negative    ✘ Hated

FAMILY

▲ Bellatrix the Maddening ( NPC )

One of the oddities of the third and fourth rungs of the voidsent hierarchy, Bellatrix the Maddening strikes fear in the hearts of her enemies and allies alike. Unlike the usual succubi of the Void, her appearance is contrasting. Lavender locks with red eye; and oddity compared to the traditional black hair and yellow eyes. Some deem this because of the large quantities of aether she absorbs; both inside and outside of the Void. Others to counter-balance the blood lust she has. Temperament-wise, she is quite hostile. Given her name, she has a short temper that escalates rather quickly when thing do not go her way. Despite this, she simmers down rather fast, but do not let that fool you. She doesn't forget. She's usually wandering around the Void, constantly worrying over her more similar daughter, and if not that she is establishing her dominance amongst both the other succubi and the incubi.

FRIENDS

▲ Oliver Amaranth ★ | ♥

Merely thought of as some confused man at first, Oliver grew to be one of the most hated people for Sera within a span of about an hour or so. Upon hindering her feeding not only once but twice, that hatred grew into death plots against him. But as time went on, and the constant bumping into each other, Sera slowly grew to like this sarcastic Hyur, often throwing harmless jabs at one another. She believed giving people a second chance and that didn’t exclude him. Maybe eventually these mixed feelings about him will be more defined for the better.

The Amaranth Effect... I hate you so much and yet... It hurts to see you suffer.

A mere surprise visit turned sour after the change, causing unfortunate events and feelings and friendships being compromised. And yet even with the bad blood and shots fired ( literal and emotional ), their "friendship" seemed to hold together in some odd way. Rather it be Oliver's snarky attitude and uneasiness towards the voidly, or Sera's bashing and new fascination to the cat.

▲ Nenanie Durendaire ★ | ♥ 

As a servant for House Durendaire, Sera has seen many things—one of which was the birth and upbringing of Nenanie. She grew fond of the trouble-making pyromaniac, often caring for her more so than the other children of Lord Durendaire. Their relationship grew after an even at a ball thrown, the then young teen finding out Sera’s biggest secret and instead of telling—she helped her. Now the grown adult, Sera still looks after Lady Durendaire as if she was still that insane child, but also at her side as a true friend.

She is my life. She is my precious child... I owe her so much more than this.

Still to the day, Sera continued to watch over the Elezen, not minding when the former master lingered by and eavesdropped. Her apathetic feelings towards Neena grew to one of worry and perhaps regret, seeing that her words may have offended her. To this day, she's still grateful for the sweet Duskwight child of hers, who've not saved her once in her life, but many many times despite her nature.

▲  Typhos Highwind ★ | ♥ ?

Lingering in the dirt of the Quicksands was when she met Typhos. Just as most others, she didn’t think much of the man than a meal. But that slowly changed as time moved on and they got to know each other. And further still as personal things were shared between each other. An egotistical and quite proud dragoon she thought, but she never fault him on that—often teasing him for it and giving him a hard time. But deep down she knows he’s very kind and if that day comes, she would probably be happy if he was the one to strike her down. Now if only she could wrap her brain around the love concept…

You have so much faith in me... That must be a hero thing.

Seeing Typhos' face through the matter, Sera was convinced that he was struggling to accept what had happened. And for her she took advantage of it in his pursuit of her. She often pointed out things to push him away from her, to strike at him to cause some reaction for her own entertainment. Though as time moved on, she contemplated on other matters involving him, ofter lurking around curiously at what he's doing-- and ultimately confronted him on different occasions. At first these meetings hurt-- not only for the dragoon but for herself as well. Even causing her to boil over in irrational feelings. But they both have found themselves almost as they once were; comfortable with each other, smiles and laughs, with still some tension. But that's what happens when you're around a hero.

▼  Serris Le'omend ★

A random encounter in the Drowning Wench turned into a strange relationship with Serris. Just seemingly a very spunky Miqo’te, this gun-slinger turned into a dear friend and perhaps a savior in her troubles. She doubt it, but with Serris’ determination that may come true. Sera’s still in awe over her; an unexpected connection with her brother and a common tongue. She wonders now what their relationship will hold in the future.

You don't know me. You know absolutely nothing about me!

Their first meeting after the change was one for the worst. The luming feeling that made the Limsa dangerous was curtaining this Seeker, and Sera knew it was troubling. It only confirmed it when Serris came at her lower decks. Since, high caution came whenever Serris is around, no chances taken and the first signs of danger the voidling would flee-- does flee. What is she...?

▲  Lyngbakr Lyngwintsyn ★

Captain Lyngbakr was a random encounter during a pursuit of another. A misread on his part, he bought Sera and her target wine—which the target promptly broke. This would be the foundation of Lyng’s and Sera’s relationship; he often buying her wine to drink and she either drank them or purposefully breaking them. But that simple friendship bloomed into one of strong trust; having him know of what she was and speaking to him about her problem. And nosy enough, aid in his own from time to time. It seems like he’s going to be stuck with this pup until the end.

You managed flames and you've managed waters.... How was the dark, "Captain"?

To her besides Typhos, it seems like Lyng took the change the hardest, and she took that to her advantage. Sera taunted the poor Roe at first, soaking in the reactions he gave her. But soon enough, it slipped into a waiting game of what's going to happen next. Most times than not it ended in fighting or in confusion and tears. Her emotional and mental boundaries have been pushed by Lyng at her discomfort, the "grown pup" often reverting back to the tiny one that he use to know. But with a tempter. Even so, she can't help but watch over Lyng as much as he does, often worrying for his well-being.

▲  Sid Mac'namara ★

Like most, Sera met Sid at the Quicksands. His accent enough make her curious of the “Hyur” but not enough to be surprised. After a few more meetings—and a bit of trickery—her identity was revealed to him, and so was his. Like most misfits and outsiders, their bound is slowly tightening.

The ideal woman? We'll see when you're gasping for life, "lad".

A long awaited reencountered turned heated as they spoke about life. Another moment of trickery and she was exposed once more, but to the bigger surprise to the "Hyur". A night together and suddenly their relationship is up in the air, a shrug towards it given by them both. At least he's not dead.

ø  Eadric Miller ★

Eadric was such a simple soul to Sera, too easy to tease which she thought was great. Until she found out something was definitely wrong. Having a secret of her own, she kept his and formed a good friendship and started hanging out more. But with their own problems, came with hardships. As of now, she worries greatly for his well-being. Hopefully he’s still around and not she.

I don't know what to do... Can I even keep my promise now?

Sera thought Eadric another one of those cases where she had to be careful. An easy meal-- but also a easy meal lost and he knew it as well. But it didn't stop her from trying, their first encounter was her cornering him in Ul'dah. Their second however was a bit more heartfelt, struggling with her mental and emotional. She kept her promise of still hanging out with him, though now it's a bit of a struggle. Afte rhte events of saving "Sarnai" from a Duskwight, Sarnai isn't really who she is. Or they are.

▲  Mizu Watanabe ★

You are quite the strange one, Kitten.

Fresh from the Shroud, Sera encountered the Miqo'te when looking for a friend. Little did she know that he would be so enthralled after a little peek at her eyes. Since then, they've been spending quite some time with each other, and ultimately he found out what she was-- with the help of a bunch of his troublesome friends. Her nonchalant disposition did turn into a more friendly and caring one, often wondering about his well-being-- especially after the flower incidnet. Still his friends aren't convinced that she's not just after Mizu's life, which she wouldn't blame them. But at least give her a break.

ACQUAINTANCES

ø Kodie Durant ★

Only considered to be a one time thing, Sera ended up seeing Kodie from time to time through the streets of Ul’dah. He came to know of her identity from his Garlean mask, but seemed to not be alarmed by her. More so his wife taking an interest instead. Caution is there, but for the most part, she enjoys having him around.

ø Minox Moks

Sera only knew her first by name, but after seeking out Lyng for some sort of business proposal, she finally put a face to the name. Having mixed feelings, she still befriended her at the very least—their only connection between them are the pair of friends they share and a cute goobbue.

ø  Leoshi Summerwind

Leoshi is the sweetest Miqo’te woman Sera has ever met. Introduced by her caring lover, Sera instantly grew a fondness; probably because of her excitement over the couple. She worries over her a lot, but knows that her lover can easily take care of her. That and her food is great--! When she can actually eat it.

ø X'igo Tia

X’igo is a very odd person. She knows of him very briefly, but somehow tangled in a very big mess of missing people! Of course being a kind person, she came to his aid multiple times and is still aiding him in his troubles.

ø Kiht'a Zajhiri

Kiht’a is a friend of Derrick’s and now a beloved friend of hers. He’s very sweet, and she can’t help but shower him in affection and comfort whenever she sees him.

ENEMIES

▼  Saikhan Chinua

Sera had the misfortune of meeting Sai while lounging around Oliver's room. Without given a change, the Au Ra attempted at her life in the name of her sister--who Sera doesn't even know. In the mist of the altercation, she was ask to leave. She doesn't know who this woman is, but the next time, she won't be afraid to defend herself.

■ "There's an old saying I read in one of my favorite tales growing up. 'If you love something set it free. If it comes back it’s yours. If not, it was never meant to be.'" He pauses, drifting away for a moment. Closing his eyes and lightly shaking his head, when his blue orbs swiftly flutter back to life, sadness and sorrow are present within.
