History

From a young age Seras and her mother Lianna were forced to flee from their home after being accused of being the source of the Draconic Scourge that had affected Ishgard. They had claimed Au'ra aren't natural they are the cursed offspring of dragons and are destined to ruin our realm Childhood: Seras was raised solely by her mother Lianna In a small now abandoned village in Coerthas, the first 3 years of her life were happy and simple. They were poor and even the smallest things took great effort to acquire, food was scarce, and people weren't always kind to them. Upon the day of Seras's 7th birthday things took a turn, a Radical Faction of Ishgardian soldiers tired of fighting the Draconian horde happened to pass through the small village and took notice of the two strange looking residents, upon spotting a scaled tail and horns on her mother, they took note and silently followed them home. As the Au'ra and her young daughter walked home unbeknownst to them An archer took aim, as soon as the wind fell silent s single arrow was fired with a startling snap. The wind fell silent, snow continuing to fall as the arrow struck Lianna she fell to the ground, daughter in her arms as the soldiers laughed and jeered celebrating their "victory". Adolescence: Seras was found at age 11 almost frozen to death by an Ishgardian clergyman of whom was lost himself, merely wandering contemplating the idiosyncrasies of the faith when he Happened upon a young girl. When she was found her feet were bloody and her legs cut and bruised to the point where it was nigh impossible for her to stand, much less walk. He rushed to the young girl worried about her health wondering how this small girl was alive it was -3c on that day, as he leaned down to speak to her she lashed out swinging at him with the last of her strength before collapsing in the snow. A full week passed and the girl was still very weak, they had tended to her wounds as Well as a poor Orphanage in the Brume could. Another 3 days passed and at the wee hours of the morning a sharp cry was heard swiftly followed by the crashing of medical equipment being thrown from a nearby table. The clergyman and solitary sister made their way to the room in question swinging the door open to fin the young girl had fallen from her bed, they found her pawing at her bandages it seemed as if she had no recollection of being brought in from the snow 9 days earlier. Carefully they approached her calmly attempting to explain to her where she now was, and explaining that she was "Home" now, this displeased her, but she knew she had not the energy to fight and if she were to run she would not get far. Hours pass and Seras begins to calm herself after relaying her story to the clergyman, of how she had spent 4 years living alone fleeing and fighting for her life, before realizing she may finally be safe from her pursuers, this made her smile. Little did she know things could barely be considered safe here and that would be the last smile to cross her face for years to come. Four Years to be exact. Young Adulthood: The very day Seras turned 15 she fled the Orphanage in pursuit of bettering herself after seeing the horrid conditions some children must live in, she had a life goal now to help those who cannot help themselves, put simply she sought to make sure no child has to live like she did. The orphanage didn't starve her p but with 15 children and two adults in a ramshackle building fit for 5 people at best cramped would've been a nice way of putting it. The children were all made to do small chores and put on shows to ensure they could eat each week, but all that had ended she was out and ready to move forward. Adulthood: After leaving The orphanage Seras made her way to Ul'dah by sheer luck, The first person she ran into noticed her small dexterous hands after she almost made of with his gil satchel. He was an older male Hyur easily in his 70's , she had hoped he would be an easy make she could take his satchel buy herself a bit of food then approach the man later and return his wallet using the simple lie that he had "dropped it". After thoroughly reprimanding her and feeding the thin frail girl they sat and talk he explained to her that he was an artisan of sorts, a dressmaker to be precise and offered to teach her under the condition that she cease trying to rob folk to feed herself, and instead work a fair days work and earned her money. Seras sat there and thought to herself "What good will come of me learning to sew?". Then she thought back to how she had perfectly laid hands on his satchel, and yet she was caught, was there more to sewing than making pompous clothing perhaps she could use this skill-set to get closer to her goal. After finishing eating faster than she should've she stood up and told the kind man she would try with all she has to learn his trade, It was the first time in years someone had offered to help her not for their own gain this was a old sensation, the man leaned forward and shook her hand and patting her on the head.A smile crept onto Seras's face it almost hurt, but in a pleasant way. Seras promptly returned to her seat and listened as the kind man elaborated where, and what she would be learning. After taking notes of where she would be staying and working, she stood up bowed after took off running out of the quicksand towards her new home Alrechts Tailoring. Time moved slowly from there on as days turned into months and months into years. Seras learned more and more skills from the simple Basketweave pattern to the complex cutting system all the way to the Levite And Turque style of dress making she learned much from Mr. Alrecht, and even learned how to properly defend herself after a chance meeting while presenting a dress to a city guards daughter. Things were looking up and Seras woke each morning smiling and eager to learn and thought to herself What will I learn today, as she walked downstairs he heard an unfamiliar voice. Continuing down the stairs cautiously listening she made it to the last step and walked into the shop to see Mr. Alrecht sitting next what looked like himself, Seras stopped and rubbed her eyes to make sure hat she was seeing was real. As the conversation ended the two men looked toward Seras, Mr. Alrecht as usual smiled at her, but this time he smiled and laughed "My bad Seras this is my brother Edward He works in the city archive." Seras's eyes grew wide she knew some about record keeping from her time in the orphanage, keeping track of the comings and goings of children being adopted out. This was a subject she knew and had come to enjoy in the orphanage as it let her keep notes of where the few friends she made went to live. Seras stepped towards the couch and sat herself down "so Edward? Is working in the archives a tough job, do you enjoy what you do, Could you teach me." Seras stopped herself glancing towards Mr. Alreccht "I'm sorry , I got carried away.". He looked to her and smirked saying " A young lady who wants to learn is rare why in the world would i stop you?" Upon hearing this Seras's eyes lit up as she knew she would get to learn yet another skill to help her on her journey, how it would help she didn't know, but she trusted that it would.
