Gender: Female
Class: Pegasus Knight

Appearance: Seraphine has long, dark brown hair that reaches the bottom of her back with sideswept bangs and pale skin. She usually wears it down or clips half of it up. She has large, bright, crystalline aqua/teal eyes. Her nose is straight and her lips are full and naturally pigmented. Her eyebrows are bold and full, with nicely shaped arches. She is 5’7” and weighs approximately 125-130 pounds. She wears a form fitting dark blue tunic that ends just past her hips and a pair of dark grey leggings. She also wears arm length gloves and a gold belt around her hips. The dark grey armor she wears consists of a chest piece that consists of a breastplate and shoulder guards as well as armored knee high boots. It is all fairly lightweight. As far as accessories go, she wears a pair of small crystal stud earrings and a silver trinity/rolling ring on her left pointer finger.

History: Seraphine was raised in the countryside by her parents alongside her younger brother. While not excessively wealthy, her family did well enough that they wanted for nothing. From a young age, Seraphine’s heart was captured by animals, and as a result, her home became a sanctuary. Her family took in stray and injured animals, both domesticated and wild, and nurtured them back to health, either releasing them or allowing them to stay. Her most precious companion, a pegasus named Haar, was one she helped raise from birth when she was a teen. As she grew older, Seraphine began to tutor the young children of her town to make some gold on the side, and discovered that she enjoyed teaching quite a bit. She discovered her magic later in life, around the age of 17. It never amounted to much, and as there was no one she knew to teach or train her, she did not hone her craft. It is mostly dormant, but she uses it to facilitate communication with animals and suspects it may possibly be the result of her close bond with Haar, which is only enhanced by her powers. For the most part, she led a happy but ordinary life. As trouble with bandits began to brew, however, Seraphine’s life began to change. When some smaller time bandits attacked her home and land, she was disheartened and repulsed when neighbors and friends abandoned them. Riding astride her pegasus and wielding her father’s decrepit lance, she and Haar were able to drive them back, but not without suffering some losses of their own. Seeing her home in ruins, she decided to put her sheltered life aside and to take up arms and help others herself. After helping her family rebuild, she set off to the nearest recruitment town in hopes of joining a mercenary group and affecting real change.

Personality: Seraphine is a sweet, shy, and self-conscious girl. Quiet and soft-spoken, it takes her a little bit of time to open up and warm up to other people. When that happens, she becomes much more relaxed and comfortable, and enjoys the physical presence of the people she loves. She has a warm and distinct laugh, and has a quirky sense of humor that not many people totally get. She is the type of person that always laughs at her own jokes, even if she is often the only one laughing. Her love for animals is unparalleled, and often finds that she is more comfortable with them than she is with people sometimes. She grows inordinately excited with every single animal she meets or sees, and wishes she could befriend them all. It is not uncommon to find her edging close to a squirrel in a tree, only to exclaim “I just want to be friends!” dejectedly when it scampers away. Her experiences at home have cultured her passion for taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes. She is extremely loyal and hardworking, and despises conflict amongst her companions. Seraphine can also be somewhat of a worrier, which does cause her a bit of stress from time to time. She likes to be extremely thorough in her preparations, and loves making excessive lists and plans, so she does not do as well in more spontaneous situations. While not active in the sense that she enjoys recreational sports, she does treat her training seriously, and believes in always being over-prepared. She is very intelligent, but does have more book smarts than street smarts. She enjoys reading books and is always trying to gain more knowledge. She likes to believe in the best in all people, but has become slightly more jaded as of late. Her experiences have only helped to solidify her beliefs that animals have much purer souls than those of humans, and her faith in the hearts of animals is unwavering. Seraphine also possesses a great love of food and sleep, and is always thinking of what her next meal might be, or of finding a place for her and her pegasus to sprawl out and relax. She does occasionally struggle with her weight a bit. Interestingly enough, she also values gold a great deal, and is always trying to find jobs to earn more gold. She can be a bit impulsive, and does have a bit of problem with self-control. Her kind heart means she is always thinking of others and going out of her way to help those in need. Her relatively happy and sheltered childhood has given her slightly idealistic and romantic expectations, though they have been changing as she travels.

Orientation: heteroromantic asexual

Weapons: Iron (and soon possibly the Blessed Lance?)

Other: Haar, Seraphine’s pegasus, is a tall white pegasus, approximately 16.5 hands tall at the withers, or about 5’6”. Thus, Seraphine is only slight taller than his shoulders. While he does pack a lot of muscle and power, he is more delicately built - he is more lean than bulky. He has an impressive wing span of about 20 feet tip to tip. Haar is a fairly laid-back and calm pegasus. Having been raised by Seraphine since he was a newborn foal, he is extremely loyal to her. The bond they share is also extremely strong, and he displays an uncanny ability to locate her when they are apart. He is very intelligent, and can seemingly understand Seraphine’s words and even her thoughts with just shared glances. Haar is still very young for his kind. Seraphine’s pegasus through and through, he also enjoys snacking and napping as much as she does. They can frequently found resting together, she leaning on his side with a wing draped around her. While not overly affectionate with anyone other than Seraphine, he is friendly and does not mind the company of other humans. He will always accept a thorough scratch or a rub on his nose. It is common for him to greet other first by sniffing their hands and pockets for treats. His partnership with Seraphine enables them to move flawlessly together in battle, and he uses his strength and cunning to assist her. He is the more courageous, fierce, and outgoing one of the duo in battle, but is also notably more laid-back outside of battle than she is. Their differences help balance each other out. Haar also possesses extraordinary patience, which serves him well when small children try to play with him or decide to braid flowers and ribbons in his mane and tail. When not defending those he loves, Haar is a gentle and playful soul, taking after his human companion.
