Physical Appearance: Sera is as an athletic looking young woman in her early twenties. She has long dark brown hair that is often pulled back in a ponytail or a messy bun to keep out of her face. She has good bone structure, though it's apparent she has had her nose broken at least once or twice. Her brown eyes are often set with a cold hard look to them and her pink lips are often frowning or scowling, rarely do they smile. She would hardly call herself beautiful or even remotely pretty, though she does have a pleasing figure due to her training and activities that keep her fit and looking good.

Given her chosen line of work, Sera has suffered all sorts of bruises, breaks, and scars that served as reminders for her various failures or victories. Her most noticeable scar would be the one on her left arm, a thin slice from her elbow to the palm of her hand, normally long sleeves cover up that mark. Tribal tattoos can be seen around her right wrist and lower back along with a newer tattoo on the back of her shoulder, a bullet hole with “Insert Bullet Here” just beneath it. On her forearm, just below her wrist is a dagger tattoo that stands out rather brightly, black veins stemming from the tattoo.

Living two lives means Sera has adopted two very different looks for the life she chooses to live. In one she is a dutiful daughter with the perfect looks and perfect attitude, the model citizen who is studying law and thus dresses sharply. Never a hair out of place and make-up is always perfect. Sera wears clothes that she feels will get her attention without overdoing it such as short dresses that show off her killer legs but not enough to make people call her names. Covering up the tattoos is something that she finds difficult at times, especially the tattoo on her forearm but she has learned over time what works best and has done well to cover them up incredibly well.

special abilities

Powers: No powers

Skills:

Over the years Sera has picked up various skills that help her greatly in her day to day life as well as the life she takes on at night when she walks the streets in search of creatures to kill. When she was in school Sera was a cheerleader and thus is quite good at tumbling and back flips as well as proving herself to be very flexible and agile.

Agility aside she has also proved herself to be a very competent and capable fighter with a fighting style all her own comprised of various types of martial arts styles. Seraphina is unpredictable in the way she chooses to fight and a tactician as well, studying her opponent carefully before making a choice on what she would choose to do. A mixture of such styles as Tai Kwon Do, Krav Maga, Karate, and a bit of Buno as well. Again, she is no master and is always going to meet someone that she can't beat.

In all her training she has built up a very high pain tolerance that helps keep her going even if she is in pain.

She also has a naturally high alcohol tolerance, it takes a hell of a lot of drinks to get her drunk though she rarely allows herself to get to that point. She does enjoy drinking games and is pretty good at them, drinking other people under the table without her feeling even the faintest bit woozy.

Another skill that Sera possesses is playing chess, her father taught her when she was very young and she's been playing ever since. She enjoys the challenge it presents her with, making her think of strategies and such. Her father knew her as the trap-master because she always loved setting traps with her pieces, something she incorporates into her hunting, often using herself as bait.

Lastly Sera is a skilled law student who is studying to become a prosecutor, something her father believes she will do well in.She has a passion for learning and studying, showing herself to be an excellent student and a force to be reckoned with in a courtroom though she has a while before she reaches that point.

Personal Possessions:

Sera has a male class ring she wears around her neck on a silver chain that belonged to her boyfriend before he was killed, he had given it to her as a sort of promise ring and she has kept it ever since. The ring was enchanted by her boyfriend before it was given to her, protecting her from mind powers though she is unaware of this.

A leather-bound diary that her father gave her when she started law school as a way to keep track of her thoughts during school but she uses it instead to keep track of her hunts and store information.

Weapons and Equipment:

Motorcycle - Her baby though her father doesn't know she owns it, she hides it until the night time when she goes hunting. She loves the rush she feels when she rides it.

A pair of berrettas that she has had for years, regular and silver bullets carried with depending on what she's currently hunting at the time. They are cleaned regularly and much like her motorcycle are very well hidden from her father so he doesn't find out what daddy's little princess is up to.

A bracelet that has been enchanted by a mage that once activated allows Sera to appear unrecognizable by other people, blending into a crowd perfectly as well as keeping her night habits to herself. It only lasts for a certain amount of time before it needs to recharge. She still appears as herself but anyone who knows her will see someone uninteresting and pass her by. Best way to keep her lives separate.

Skofnung - Skofnung was the sword of legendary Danish king Hrólf Kraki. "The best of all swords that have been carried in northern lands", it was renowned for supernatural sharpness and hardness, as well as for being imbued with the spirits of the king's 12 faithful berserker bodyguards. So i guess the spirit things are the reason she's able to go toe-to-toe with supernaturals.

Sera acquired from her mentor an ancient weapon that has given her a better chance than before to eliminate the supernatural creatures in Arc City. A powerful sword that is capable of cutting through anything she swing it at as though it were hot steel through butter. It is dangerous even to herself because the blade does not distinguish between an enemy's head and her arm if she swings wrong. Not only is the power in the weapon's blade but also what it is capable of doing once she wields it. It is capable of augmenting her to the point where she is as strong and fast as any vampire or werewolf that she has come across. The sword may very well have other capabilities that Sera has yet to come across, one thing she has noticed though is it seems to somehow bond with her to the point where anyone else is unable to use it.

The sword is not without it's consequences though, it has a nasty habit of draining her of her energy after she uses it, the longer she wields it the longer she is taken out of action once she is finished using it which makes it more of a last resort more than anything. Given that swords aren't exactly a common thing in Arc City and isn't the most conspicuous thing either, Sera paid a mage to cast a spell on it that would make it far less conspicuous. He cast a spell that was first able to shrink the blade down before allowing it to be placed beneath the flesh of her forearm. It hurt like hell when he first did it and it left a tattoo of a dagger over the spot where the dagger rests. She is able to pull the dagger out from beneath her flesh without drawing blood or really breaking the flesh but it hurts a fucking lot.

Limitations: Seraphina is human and thus vulnerable to the things that plague most humans. She can catch diseases, get injured easily enough and is prone to eventual death. She will age and has no powers to speak of either. Plenty of limitations for the human but she makes the most of them. Sera is deaf in her left ear, an accident from when she was a child.

psychoanalysis

Personality Description: Sera leads two very separate lives and thus has seemed to develop two separate personalities whilst being in those lives. She doesn't suffer from multiple personalities, she's still quite sane it's just different really. In one life she is a model citizen with good breeding and high expectations for life. She suffered a tragedy at the hands of some unknown assailant but had seemed to bounce back from it relatively quickly, going back to her studies at law school and focusing herself on prosecuting sleezeballs like the one who attacked her and putting them away for good.

Sera is extremely good at masking her pain and her emotions from the public and those who know her. When Sera is in the public eye, she makes sure that they never see any of her flaws, she prefers that they see her as perfection incarnate and leave it at that. Of course she has flaws, she's only human after all even though she likes to ignore them at times as though they don't exist. She is intelligent and able to hold her own in conversation with those that are older than her about all kinds of things, whether it be business or general topics of interest. Of course, one thing that goes against her in terms of conversation is her inability to stay focused and interested in what is going on.

Sera has an innate knowledge of what is expected of her by her father as well as the general public that continue to see her as the Mayor's perfect little princess and she meets those expectations every chance she gets. While Sera does a lot of things such as going to charity events and benefits to promote her image to the public of a dutiful and caring daughter, she does believe in such things and does take some enjoyment out of going to them.

The pressure of being perfect isn't always easy, there are times when Sera would love to be seen as more than just the Mayor's daughter but she has come to accept her lot in life with a stiff upper lip. If anything she allows herself to really cut loose and relax when she switches from perfect sweet innocent princess mode into kickass hunter mode. It's at night when she feels like she is actually someone of her own choosing rather than going along with how she had been brought up.

Cool and confident in a fight, Sera often takes the offensive aggressively. Due to her weapon and skills, Sera feels at times that she is invincible and this is one of her various flaws in personality. Arrogant, she often views a fight with her as the winner before it's even fought, underestimating her targets. She is headstrong, always believed she can handle a job even if the odds are piled against her. It's actually amazing she is still alive considering all she has gotten into in the past.

Fun and flirty, Sera is capable of having a good time when she's not working or studying though it doesn't happen very often. She can be a warm friendly young woman though at times a bit standoffish due to her need to keep people at a distance not only because of her dual lives but also because she doesn't want to lose people again. It's one reason why she has no interest in falling in love again, she had one love and he is gone, she doesn't see another in her future any time soon.

Strengths:

• Very intelligent - Sera is a highly intelligent young woman, she is by no means a genius but she is very knowledgeable in a lot of areas such as law and supernatural creatures.
  
• Adaptable - Sera is very good at adapting herself to any situation she is put in whether it be good or bad. She is quick thinking and that has saved her life more times than she can count.
  
• Excellent memory - Sera has a near photographic memory and rarely does she forget a face or an event that has happened to her. It's one reason why she does so well in her schooling as well as hunting, she remembers everything she reads.
  
• Tactical - While Sera does have strength behind her fighting Sera is tactical when it comes to her fighting and tries to plan ahead in most things.
  
• Emotional control - Sera has a tight clamp over her emotions which makes her a very hard person to read. Very little reaches her dark eyes or her body language which works as an advantage for her. She can pass off as being perfectly happy even when she's fuming on the inside and can act perfectly social even when she wants to be alone. Sera's almost impossible to read.
  
  

Weaknesses:

• Stubborn - Sera is stubborn to a fault, if she gets it in her head that the sky is purple and elephants fly around and are polka-dotted then nothing would make her change her mind. It can be frustrating working with her because of how stubborn she can be, even if it puts her life or those she is working with at risk.
  
• Vindictive - Sera tells herself that she hunts supernatural creatures because she wants to protect humanity for their viciousness but that's not entirely true. She has lost two people that she felt were very important to her and so in a way her hunting is an act of revenge. Not the best trait she possesses, she is a very vengeful person and if someone hurts her or someone she cares about she will not stop until they pay.
  
• Hates all non-humans - Because of the loss of her boyfriend that put her into the life of hunting, Sera hates anything that isn't human. She refuses to work with them knowingly and very rarely will she enlist aid from any other species unless it's an extreme case. She refuses to believe that any non-human creature could be decent and good, they are all evil in her book.
  
• Trust issues - Sera has some major trust issues that she has yet to really work out though she hides them well. It's one reason she prefers to work alone when hunting and though she has a good circle of friends and people she hangs out with she doesn't let them get too close to her for fear she may lose them or they will end up turning against her.
  
• Has a very black and white view on the world - Sera is not one for shades of grey, a person is either good or they are evil, there is no middle ground for her.

Fear/s: Losing her father - Sera is very close with her father and is often afraid that she will be found out by some supernatural beastie that she angered and they will go after him. She is unaware of her father's knowledge of the supernatural world or his shady dealings.

Being turned into any creature - That is Sera's greatest fear, that she will be turned into some kind of creature and if that were to happen... She doesn't even want to think about it.

Ophidiophobia - Sera has an absolute phobia of snakes to the point that just the sight of them makes her tremble.

Goal/s: To rid Arc City of every and all supernatural creature that exists with perhaps the exception of Angels since they are inherently good. She doesn't care about their activity anywhere else but this was her city and she wants it safe for humans.

To Graduate from Law School with top honors and a law degree that will allow her to get a lucrative job that will pay well and give her some social status all her own.

biography

Their Story: Seraphina Kalen Walker was born in Arc City to an unknown mother and her father who was Mayor of Arc City at the time. Sera's father was pleased to have a daughter as he had always wanted a child even in a city as dangerous as Arc City, especially when he had his own shady dealings going on that she may very well suffer because of. Sera had very few memories of her mother, the woman vanished from Sera's life before she was old enough to really form coherent memories of her. Her father didn't even have pictures of the woman, his explanation had been simple but still painful, she had left them because she didn't want a family. She hadn't been ready.

Despite the blow of knowing that her own mother hadn't wanted her, she grew up to be a healthy little girl and a definite daddy's girl. Sera was her daddy's little princess and was treated as such, the perfect little daughter to the Mayor of Arc City and she loved it. When she was four she was near a big speaker in the park where her father was going to give a speech, the volume was up far too loud and deafened the girl in one ear because of it.

Going to school was something she loved, she had a lot of friends and was one of the most popular girls there. She was smart and the boys seemed to consider her beautiful since they enjoyed hanging around her. Parties, school dances, proms, they were what her teenage life consisted of and she did well at it. She got straight A's on every report card she brought home and seemed to be unable to do no wrong. Homecoming Queen, Prom Queen, Captain of the cheerleading squad, she had all the titles in school as well as top of her class when she graduated. She had been a school goddess released into the big scary world without any real sense of where she wanted to go next.

Being 'perfect' in the eyes of her peers and her friends wasn't really that easy after she got out school, hard to keep up with the growing expectations of what she would and could be but she made it seem flawless just the same. Hiding behind a mask of perfection seemed to be what she did best though there was thankfully one person she didn't have to mask herself with.

Mason Wildar, her boyfriend of four years that she had met in High School. He had been everything to her and she loved him more than words could say. She had known he was the one even at a young age, she'd marry him. Unlike her father who was fully aware of the supernatural world, Sera had no idea at all, no way of knowing that vampires and werewolves were not only real but amongst them in Arc City, an ever present danger to humanity. Even her boyfriend Mason was something other than human, a magic-user who was capable of casting spells. His entire family had been magic-users before him and he enjoyed being one though he kept it from Sera because he didn't know how she'd react and he didn't want to ever lose her.

The promise ring that he gave to her, his class ring, had been enchanted by him to protect her from any sort of mind control that one may come into contact with by vampires or other magic-users. He would have made a spell to protect her from any magic but he wasn't strong enough for such a spell. He simply wanted to keep her safe from his world and for a while he did just that.

Mason wanted to marry her right out of high school but that wasn't what Sera wanted, not to start with anyway. She planned on going into law school where she would work to become a top lawyer or prosecutor but after school she told him he could propose to her and they would have a beautiful wedding. It was sounded perfect and probably would have been had it not been for the attack on Sera and Mason.

It wasn't long after she had graduated, she was eighteen years old and waiting for her life to really begin in regards to a life at law school and was currently content to be on a date with her boyfriend. It had been late when they had gotten out of a movie when Sera was thrown to the ground by an attacker. Automatically assuming it was a mugger, Sera grabbed for the mace in her purse but when she looked up and saw dark eyes full of malice and sharp fangs in her attacker's mouth, she felt all the blood rush from her face. A vampire?! It couldn't be...

Before Sera could move or even blink she found herself in the vampire's tight grasp with his fangs embedded in her neck. The pain was intense and she screamed, pushing at his shoulders in vain and wondering where Mason was. As her blood was drained she began to feel herself losing her grip on consciousness but before she passed out she saw Mason standing nearby, a look of deep concentration on his face. Sera wanted to cry out, scream for help but she could do little more than groan. It may have been Sera's panicked mind playing tricks on her but she was almost certain that she saw Mason somehow conjure a fireball out of nowhere before hurling it at the vampire that held her. The vampire practically threw Sera to the ground as it danced around on fire and that was the last thing she remembered before she passed out from blood loss.

Seraphina awoke in the hospital hours later with her father sitting at her side. She had made it but somehow Mason did not, he had supposedly been found dead not far from where she was and the attacker's body was nowhere to be found. They wouldn't let her see Mason's body and they didn't explain to her how he had died either which was frustrating for Sera but she couldn't force them to show her and anything they told her would most likely be lies anyway. Sera was forced to return home from her ordeal without the love of her life, and she couldn't get over the feeling that he had died because of her.

Her experience taught her something though, it showed her that there was another world alongside this one. One experience with a vampire changed things for her, stole what she most loved in this world and the perfect little princess of Arc City wanted revenge.

Researching a world that was only thought to be real in movies and books wasn't exactly easy, it was hard to figure out what was real and what was made up about the supernatural world but Sera was nothing if not focused and she did what she could to learn about vampires, in doing so she began to realize what else existed in this world that ran alongside her own. Training herself wasn't easy either nor did she really think it was possible since aside from reading and one encounter with a vampire, she really had no idea what she was actually doing. This sort of thing wasn't the kind of thing you could be spotty with either.

It was hard to say just what had caught the eye of her soon-to-be mentor, perhaps he saw raw potential in the girl when she trained in a gym near her law school or perhaps he knew more than he let on but whatever it was, he approached Seraphina with full knowledge that she wanted to hunt supernatural creatures and offered to teach her the skills needed to keep herself alive. His name was Magnus or that was what he told Sera, no last name was given nor needed really and though it took some time before Sera came to trust him, he came to be like a second father to her.

It was Magnus who had the idea of separating her lives so that she didn't have to worry about one interfering with another. He had the idea for the bracelet that allows Sera to pass by unnoticed by anyone who knows her regardless of how well of a look they get at her and it has worked beautifully so far. For two years Seraphina trained under his tutelage, taking in his wisdom and experience and learning all she could. She kept Magnus' existence a secret from everyone including her own father and that was not without some guilt but she didn't want to involve her father in this different life. She was completely unaware that he already knew about the supernatural world and was very much apart of it in his own way.

Hunting gave Sera a thrill that her other life lacked, she felt more like herself when she was racing through the streets of Arc City with her heart pounding in pursuit of a supernatural creature. It was more her than the prim and proper little princess that cut ribbons and went to charity benefits. Unfortunately, hunting also came with a price. She'd nearly lost her life a dozen or so times because of her own carelessness or because she had been led into a trap and Magnus had saved her but in the end it wasn't her who would lose her life but rather Magnus.

Werewolves would spell endgame for Magnus in the end, a group of werewolves that had surprised the two hunters. Magnus' weapon of choice was a sword that was capable of cutting through anything. It was an amazing piece of craftsmanship that was centuries old if Magnus was to be believed. Sera had been fighting a werewolf when his cry of pain caught her off guard, before she could turn around his throat had been ripped out and his body on the ground, his sword impaled in a dead werewolf next to him. Although she wanted to cry at that moment she refused to let the tears fall, running over to grab the sword and finish off the furry bastards. Once they were dead she was able to mourn the loss of her teacher. Yet another loss to the supernatural world and yet another person to avenge.

The sword known as Skofnung was definitely no normal sword. Sera had been aware of the fact that it was able to cut through anything but given that she had never handled the sword before she was unaware of it's other abilities. Holding the spirits of 12 warriors within, it was capable of augmenting her skills to the point that she was as fast as any vampire she'd come across and just as strong as well which gave her an advantage when it came to hunting. Her mentor had taught her how to use a sword, perhaps feeling that one day she would wield his sword though Sera doubted he figured it would be so soon.

At twenty-one years old, Seraphina is living two very different lives as best she can. By day she is the perfect daughter of the Mayor who is currently attending law school and by night she is a hunter that any supernatural had best beware of.

Other Information: Mason may or may not still be alive depending on how things go.

There was something about dancing in a room full of strangers that was almost liberating in a sense just as much as it was suffocating. As far as Sera could tell no one knew her and that was the liberating bit. No judging eyes peering at her, condemning her for running away or for the lives she had stolen in her grief. No one knew anything about what she had done or let happen, all they knew was she had the appearance of a carefree party girl in need of some fun and perhaps some compliments if the men had anything to say about it. It had felt like such a long time since Seraphina had actually be able to laugh and enjoy herself, she’d be running for what seemed like ages and it was only now that she was able to stop and realize what she had been running from. Of course, that being said, she had run straight back into the hornets’ nest so to speak and was aiming to beat it with a stick just to make them all the angrier. But that was later, not tonight.

Given what had happened only a week ago in the cemetery, Sera being jumpy was more than reasonable. She hadn’t seen that strigoi since that night but she knew she would again, he had said as much before he had bitten her. At the mere thought of that she reached up and brushed her hand over the scars she had received because of that strigoi, the pain was something she could remember and though she told Aaron she didn’t remember a lot she did in fact remember everything. She hadn’t at first but it came to her which made her even jumpier. It unnerved her that he had known so much about her and even moreso the fact that what he said made sense to a certain degree. Not that Sera would admit that aloud for fear of how that would make her sound but she couldn’t deny that deep down part of her agreed with what he had said about the Moroi race.

Thankfully, being a dhampir, she was able to heal quickly and the wounds she had sustained were mostly faint scars now, scars that she could cover up with make-up so no one would notice and ask her about them. She wasn’t the only one who had taken a beating that night, something she noticed when she looked up at Aaron. The scar that he had gotten in the fight with the strigoi that Dean had sent after him, he had fought them off and earned two more marks to add to his collection of strigoi kills. She could have felt bad about being the reason that he had gotten the scar in the first place but meh, made him look kind of sexy so no she didn’t feel all that bad.

It was a surprise to see him there for sure, this wasn’t the sort of place she hung out in often but it was the kind of place she’d frequent way more than Aaron would. People had fun and danced, they laughed and had a good time and though Sera found herself liking Aaron, perhaps more than she should, she didn’t see him as much of a fun loving type. He enjoyed his work or she assumed he did anyway or he wouldn’t do it and was a devoted guardian like she had once been but there was more to life than that.

Rather than having any sort of long conversation on the dance floor, Sera decided instead to continue doing exactly what she had been doing before Aaron had interrupted her. Dance and focus on having a good time rather than allowing the thoughts going crazy in her mind to drive her nuts. She needed tonight more than anyone, even Aaron, could realize and it wasn’t about hooking up with a guy or flirting, it was about finding some way to feel like she was alive again. Dancing seemed the best way to go about that and at least now she had someone to focus on that she actually knew rather than random men trying to get her off to a corner to try and pick her up cause that just wasn’t going to happen.

Sera was almost sceptical in whether he would actually dance or not, he didn’t seem the type but he could surprise her. He did…a little. His form was off and he didn’t have the best rhythm but he was moving to the music as best he could and it was better than him flat out refusing to dance or just standing there brooding. She laughed as she danced next to him, definitely the better dancer of the two and looked around at some of the guys who looked a bit jealous that she was actually talking to Aaron rather than dancing with him for a short time and then dancing away. Silly men.
