Serenity's Fasion:

Known for her peculiar yet stylish garments, this young Blade Master is quite known for the two different (yet similar) outfits she uses for various occasions. On a standard day to day, Serenity dons her regular outfit of a tank top and small, leather shorts. This outfit consists of a  lacy, mid-rise tank top of obsidian black with a halter neckline. At the front, too strands of the same obsidian cloth fall down to her waist in an elaborate, gold stitched design. Her shorts essentuate her curves as they simply cover up the curves of her bum. Complete with an unusual set of leather boots, her left leg has a full-rise, four inch heel while her right has an ankle length boot with a leather design that rests upon her thighs.

When in work mode, Serenity dons a silken face mask that obscures the features of her face. This provides her a viel of mysteriousness and shrouded identity when in battle. Wearing a similar outfit from her day-to-day gear, she adds in another strap of clothing that falls from her left leg. This resembles a half skirt and is adorned with the gold stiching. This falls just above her knee and is seen flying loosely as she walks. Black leather gloves are also work with this outfit which stretch all they way in full length. Along with these gloves, sleeves are also added to the outfit in order to hide her shoulders. Furthermore, both boots resemble each other in full length just a little ways above her thighs.

Description: At first glance, Seraphina Pryde is a seemingly tall, graceful woman with a slightly above average height (for a woman) of five feet six inches. Her outlook and overall balance is quite beautifully proportioned and, as to her more prominent features, one would say that her long, slender legs is the key to her overall appearance. Moreover, she has been gifted with an athletic build and muscles to prove it. Needless to say, she is quite sturdy and one to take quite the hit when push comes to shove. Despite it, she appears to be of delicate figure which has truly been a delight for her parents. After all, they wished nothing less than perfect for their potential offspring whose honor would befall on her.

Seraphina’s hair is of a silvery white color that seems to morph into a pinkish white hue when the dusk sky appears upon the heavens. As to why that is, she can only say it is simply a matter of contrast although, to the science behind it, she has no idea. Still, this seems to give her a sort of exotic appeal to her This is especially so as her name refers to the angels of the sky which could figuratively explain the mysterious her features bring.. Furthermore, her long, silken hair flows down in a beautiful cascade down past her waist. This, she allows to let loose into the wind as she feels it rids the tension of it’s weight if it were to be tied up. Still, and very rarely so, she will tie it up if need be and adorn it with flowers and the sort.

Although not quite unusual for someone of her family background, Seraphina’s eyes are of a particular design. Contrary to having a simple and regular eye color and basic design, her eyes are adorned with what appears to be the silhouette of a raven within her silvery, aquamarine colored eyes. In closer perspective and under the enhancement of the light, her eyes appear as if they are sparkling. Upon occasion, though, Seraphina’s right eye will glows a silvery black. This tint engulfs the eye completely so that you can see none of the eye's characteristics but the blackish glow. This only happens when she is under duress and or when she is studying someone or something closely.

In particular and if looked at closely, an insignia of her grandfather's legacy rests across the side of her right hand in the shape of three, tiny raven tattoos. As to the precise location of these tattoos, it would be starting from the bottom knuckle of her thumb in a curved pattern just above the wrist almost as if the birds, themselves, were flying upwards. This tattoo marks her as the next generation Pirate Hunter and holds true sentimental value to her. For, not only is it representative of her road in life, but also reveals her history if one were to pay close attention to it. Furthermore, long strands of lines enhance her body features that run across her entire body. As to why these exists, no one truly knows.

The Past

---

Main Traits: Stubborn, Quiet, Reserved, Adventurous, Sweet, Curious, Intellectual.
Likes:
- The Ocean: It is not surprising for the young Seraphina to be a lover of the sea. In fact, she has always found the ocean to be a bringer of fortune (as her parents had been rich merchants) as well as a soothing melody for when days were rotten (or when she had been scolded). It would only be later that the sea would become her newfound home after an incident that would cost her family’s life.
- The Ravens: Despite the superstitions that surround the idea of the ravens, Seraphina would go as far as to calling the obsidian birds her friends. Similar to a cat/dog whisperer, you could even call the young woman a bird (especially a Raven) whisperer as her whole life had been surrounded by these beautiful birds.
- Blades/Swords Despite having grown up in an environment where she was never required to lift a finger, Seraphina has found a deep appreciation for sword art. Under the guidance of her grandfather, the young woman was able to Master the swords, to an extent, and be able to defend herself where it truly mattered.
- Sweets: Although she is never one to admit it, Seraphina has a huge sweet tooth. She is particularly fond of trying those of various worlds and, at some point, even considered the life of a critic. This huge attribute can definitely be narrowed down to her great-grandmother as she had been a pastry chef and handed down her knowledge down to Seraphina before she passed.

Dislikes:
- Entitlement: Ironically, Seraphina is not one to appreciate the feeling nor actions of entitlement of the rich and powerful. In fact, despite her parent’s best attempt to spoil her, she was never one to believe she was better than anyone else. Still, it did not stop people from believing it and spawning their own judgment upon the young woman.
- Her HomeTown: When her parents perished, Seraphina was left alone to fend for herself. She had turned to the elders of the town for help, yet they turned their backs on her. Furthermore, they had taken her family lands and left her but a few possessions to fend for herself. As such, she hates them all in quiet silence, waiting for when she would end it all.
- Cowards: If there was anything in the world that she hated the most, she hated the cowards above all else. For her, they are the lowest for they are all talk and no action. They are untrustworthy and, in her opinion, someone not worth getting to know. This is not to say she considers children to be part of this group, but, rather applies this to the adults.
- Gold Diggers: Having been born in a world of wealth, Seraphina has been surrounded by ‘gold diggers’ from the start. This is something she has grown to distaste and, thus, make her less trusting of people. Especially after she was left penniless by those that were to protect her after her parents had passed.

Hometown:  Maritime Bay [Uncharted Island]
Personality:
To describe Seraphina would be quite a feat for there are many things that make up this young and upcoming warrior. For example, she is one who alters her persona when situations arise where such a task is needed. Not in a sense of personality, mind you, but, rather, in a sense of playing a role and playing it well. Not one to be taken lightly, she very well is one to hold her ground despite seemingly frail and weak. This gives her a different type of respect within her environment despite the lineage she grew up in. Furthermore, even if one were to believe that they had gotten close to her and/or even unlocked the entirety of her well-guarded secrets, they would be dead wrong. Undoubtedly graced with both beauty and poise, it would be quite unfortunate for someone to underestimate her due to her looks and appearance. For, unlike most of those originating from a wealthy and prestigious background, Seraphina has a brilliant mind and a bucket load of attitude and sass when she needs it most. Needless to say, she was raised to be a woman of class and, although she never quite enjoyed it, she learned to play the role well.

Yet, if one were to describe her in one word, they would most likely label her to be a woman of calm demeanor and state. An interesting choice of words, but true nonetheless. Seraphina is a woman who keeps her cool and is one to not act rashly upon her emotions. This can blatantly be seen when in a state of being provoked for Seraphina is the type of women to hold back her anger and endure it. To turn the other cheek, per say. She may not like the situation, but she always has her mind search for the opening. In fact, it is quite remarkable that she is able to hold her tongue well and takes the verbal beating despite the anger she feels. Still, it is not to be mistaken that she will not take action. No. She waits until the perfect opportunity to take justice into her own hands and, thus, making them pay three-fold for what they've done. To delve deeper into this, she is one who plots and plans behind the scenes seemingly like a hunter searching for its next prey. Through this, she is able to follow through with whatever it is she has planned without an pinch of blame to fall back on her. This makes her quite dangerous and, as such, makes it hers reconsider getting on her bad side.

On the other hand, in a time when things are peaceful and serene, Seraphina is a woman who loves to read and write. She is quite the intellectual with her eidetic mind as nothing has stood in her way of her learning (besides the occasional villager and her Mother, of course). Furthermore, her home by the sea has allowed her to be one to know ways of the wind as well as the consumables versus nons. After all, she had been forced to survive in the 'wild’ for quite some time. Still, she lacks in the way  of knowing how the world outside her home works as she was never allowed to go outside of the bubble placed upon her. This can make her seem naive as there are some topics she has only learned from books and never from true experience. Due to this, her thirst for adventure has thrived tremendously although she has some precautions about leaving her home. In some ways, it can be said that fear is what holds her back. She, on the other hand, would call it absurd and scoff it off. During these times, when one has come to understand her, she comes off as soft and vulnerable.

Although having never been introduced to the concept and aspect of love, one can only assume of Seraphina’s actions if she were to be in a love story of her own. To say the least, depending on the scenario, one would consider her docile and sweet ashe wouldn't have to defend herself against them. This is not to say she wouldn't have sass when need be. Furthermore, having been a survivalist for many years has earned her a streak of being truly independent so she wouldn't be one to rely on her partner. Still, situations are bound to change and, quite possibly, so would her outlook of help (maybe). For sure, Seraphina would be a woman who would put on a strong front although, with someone she could trust, it could be speculated that she would rely on them. Even if it were just for a little while. After all, she has never held an experience of trust so it would take a while for her to do so. Needless to say, Seraphina isn't someone who makes friends easily as her past has never allowed her to get close to anyone. She views people as untrustworthy and definitely not worth getting to know.

In battle, Seraphina is ruthless. During these times, she is able to unattach herself from her everyday realities and let loose her fury upon her foes. This, unfortunately, does not go well for her enemies as they will suffer under her hands. Furthermore, it, along with sparring, also provides the perfect opportunity to better her sword art skills as well as perfect them to the best of her abilities. Still, she prefers to stay behind the scenes and observe from the shadows before striking the unwary. This makes her a perfect covert-ops gal, although she has no problems heading to the front lines. If anything, once Seraphina’s loyalty is gained, it is gained for life. She is not someone to back away from a promise nor is she one to pretend it never existed. For Seraphina, owning up to words is crucial for although she trusts no one, she makes sure people trust her. For the young Blade Master, continuing her Grandfather's legacy is of prime importance. After all, it was grilled into her from the moment she was able to walk. As such, she cares not for what others believe in her and, as such, allows her actions to speak for themselves.
