But she thinks her mom was high when she named her, so she says her full name is Sera Lily Luna ALIAS: Bubbles, Nutter, Ser, SL AGE: 24 GENDER: Female SEXUALITY: Homosexual MEMBER GROUP Citizen OCCUPATION: Bookstore Counter Girl and Manager. Saving up to go back to college so she can become an English Professor. *Personality Happy: Sera is, for the most part, a bubbly happy sort. She's quicker to smile than anything else, always loves to laugh, and prefers to be happy. She's not naive in any sense of the word, but she is more of an optimist and knows how to ignore the worst and focus on the best. She loves anything that she loves, and she's not afraid to tell you about it. She's happy, and nothing is going to stop that. Why take the joy out of life? Quirky That's a...polite way of putting it. Sera goes for anything that's not a part of normal basic culture, so to speak. She likes to pierce herself often, tattoos are something she enjoys though she intends to just stick to the wings, and her clothing choices are always out there. She is slightly masochistic, not to the point where it defines her lifestyle, but enough that she likes to get a bit rough from time to time. Smart Despite her looks, and despite what she enjoys, she's quite brilliant. Most don't think she is because of the way she dresses and the things she enjoys and she absolutely detests that stereotype, and so, she plays on it often. She has an undergrad degree in Literature, and was working on her Masters with a focus on Shakespeare Lit when she went broke. She knows a lot about books. Science and math? She's absolutely hopeless. But history and English are her subjects. Scatterbrained She tends to lose things. A lot. Smart she may be, but that doesn't mean she won't misplace just about everything all the time. She can't seem to help it. Lazy Despite the Yoga courses she frequently takes in an attempt to focus her mind, she's more likely to sit around with a good book instead of exercising. Physical activity is not her friend, as she likes to say. She does the Yoga also to keep herself in shape, when she manages to remember. Brash What you see is what you get. Not in a malicious way, but she's never afraid to speak her mind and tell you just how she feels. The only secrets she keeps to herself are those she deems her own. When it comes to judgements or what she thought about things, she'll tell you straight off. She also hates being hit on by men, though she knows it will happen, and tends to get a bit sour about it. Its one of the few times there's a crack in her sunny disposition. Partier

[/u] One hundred percent. She loves the nightlife. She may want to become a college professor some day but a lot of the times she acts like she's in college still herself, she goes out a lot, flirts it up, dances it up, gets a little bit out there, and has her fun. By day, happy and mild seeming book keeper, by night, party animal.

*Appearance

Hair: Looooong and black. Its thick and wild and often times she leaves it down. It also sports blood red highlights that she dyes blue from time to time if it matches her outfit better. Yeah, she's just that nuts.
Eyes: Hazel Green, nothing all that special, often lined with thick liner, enough that she tends to come off as a raccoon
Build: She's short, standing at only five foot even, and rather shapely. She's also got a relatively good figure from clubbing often and taking Yoga lessons when she has the time.
Style: Her style is everything alternative. She wears plaid skirts and leather corsets and just about anything that does not fit in with the norm. She likes to stand up. Ripped fishnet stockings and leather dreasses, she's in. High boots too, like the type most couldn't walk in.
Scars/Piercings/Tattoos: She has a set of wings on her back, for tattoos, that she's proud of and often shows off. Her piercings are almost too many to list: Nose: Septum and nostril, as well as the bridge of her nose (Earl). Ears: Twice on each lobe and a total of three cateledge piercings, and a rook (right ear). Lips: Lower lip twice (usually hoops) and labret (Stud). Also a brooch (in between the breasts/sternum)
Anything else?: She often has marks or wounds that are semi-healing from her chosen life style, she has multiple scars here or there, and often likes to be as out there as possible with how she looks, because it then amuses her how people look so shocked when she can rattle off the details of every book in her shop.

*History

If you ask Sera about her life, she’ll tell you it was entirely average all around with nothing all that important going on. According to her definition, her life was the picture of normalcy, with some exceptions. Like the fact that her mother was only seventeen when she had her. And named her Seraphi Lilianna Luna. Even though her mother’s last name was Smith, and her father’s was Jones. They changed it when they married, only a month before Sera’s birth. Her mother is obscenely proud of the fact that she was that pregnant at her wedding. They had another when Sera was three, a bigger one that didn’t just happen in front of a judge with Sera as the flower girl.

Anyway, this is getting off course.

She was born in a hospital and lived out the first two years of her life in her grandmother’s house before both parents got good enough jobs to move out into a tiny apartment. Tiny because they wanted to save up for an actual wedding and how cute would it be if their daughter was their flowergirl? Her parent’s friends often watched her, free baby sitting for the win, because Sera was a dream as a child. She barely cried, she cooed constantly, and the easiest way to keep the little girl happy was to read to her, so they could do their homework while babysitting.

One of the first stories Sera ever heard was A Midsummer Night’s Dream by Shakespeare, because the Freshmen college lit class that most of her babysitters and her parents were doing that. The little two year old was happy to sit and listen, or watch as they acted it out, laughing at the jokes she didn’t understand.

Her parents were the sweet and kind sort. Sure they fought, but when they had gotten married so young it was to be expected. They never had much money but they spent it on things for Sera whenever they could, wanting her to feel loved, just because she was a mistake didn’t mean they didn’t love her. She was how they had managed to get married so young with their parent’s approval, something they had been trying to figure out to do before the positive pregnancy tests started to show up.

Financial Aid and scholarships for her actually quite brilliant father meant that her parents could go to college, making sure to take alternating schedules and relying on their friends to keep an eye on their tiny beauty.

As Sera grew, she got a bit more wild. She was happy to laugh still, but now she was a bit of a dare devil, always testing limits and freaking out her mother. She had a big group of friends in school mostly because they wanted to see what she would do. All the same, when she did go to school, she always felt the other parents looking at her strange, not wanting their kids around her because of her parents. She didn’t get it. Did they think she was a bad influence? So she started to show that she could read at a higher level just to show she could. In elementary school they put her at elevated English courses, though the rest were the same level as her fellow students.

Her parents worried that this would make their daughter stuck up, thinking she was better than her peers, but she never showed a sign of it, keeping to being that laughing girl. She always saw the world a bit differently from her peers because her parents were young enough that they could experience it along with her. When she turned thirteen and started to get into things like shopping, her mother was only twenty nine, the same age her friends started having three year olds and such. It was nice for Sera, though she often didn’t like the same things her parents liked, they were always quick to let her express herself however she wanted.

At that same age of thirteen, Sera realized she didn’t ogle over the boys the same way her close girl friends did. She just had no interest in it and this scared her, was she not normal? She had never cared about not being normal before but this weirded her out a little. She confided in her mother, feeling alone because her friends would tease her lightheartedly when they asked her who she liked and she’d say no one. Her mother told her it was normal—after asking her own mother what to do—and that everyone changed differently. Sera pointed out her own mother’s relationship had started at thirteen with her father and her mother in no plain terms told her not to judge by her. Though everything had worked out, and she loved her daughter very much, she didn’t want Sera to go down the same path.

At fourteen she still felt strange, like she didn’t quite fit in. She went through what she now calls her dark period, where she lost the happy bubbly girl for a time. She threw herself into darker books, and started getting a little too interested in darker things. She got her ears pierced, and found she fully enjoyed the zing of pain…which freaked her out more. She turned to her parents because she ahd always had a good relationship with them and they said it was nothing to worry about, she shouldn’t be freaked out…it happened. She enjoyed her piercings however, and soon got another, with her parent’s permission, piercing her cartilage. And then her lobes once more.

The piercings gave her confidence, and so did the way she was dressing, it made her feel more sure of herself to be standing out like this. Her friends approved, they had first started hanging out with Sera because she was out of the box and kept life interesting and here she was, going out of the box again. She was back to her happy self again, feeling more self confident. Though she never lost the darker way of dressing, she brightened it up with pops of color and the like.

By the time she was sixteen, she would have half of her piercings and be taking AP courses for English, that love never dying down. At seventeen she discovered clubs and fake ID’s with her friends and was always out living it up. She drank underage, she partied, and she danced, loving this life because it was wild, just like her. Her parents were quickly starting to tear their hair out with worry, but she checked in often, not wanting to lose the good relationship she had with them. Besides, they had to worry about her baby brother, who had come into her life a year ago when her parents felt like they were at a more normal age to have another child.

At seventeen she also discovered something else: why boys never appealed to her. She was in a club one night when it happened. She was dancing with a buddy of hers, one of those she had made friends with because of her happy attitude. They were amusing themselves, dancing about…and then someone started to dance behind Sera. Being her confident self, she was quite honestly used to people trying to dance with her, she didn’t pay much attention except to turn around to tell the person that she wasn’t interested. She never wanted to dance with the dudes, not those that weren’t her friends anyway. They always tried to kiss her and she didn’t want that, she was never interested. But to her surprise it was a chick. She blinked, surprised, she hadn’t expected a female dancer to do that. But she shrugged it off and danced with her. And then when she kissed her, for the first time Sera found she didn’t want to tell them to stop, she wasn’t interested.

Now, you may question why it took her that long to notice? Well, it wasn’t like she thought that was something that she may be interested in. All the girls she hung around with were interested in dudes, and she just plain figured she hadn’t seen anyone she thought was attractive. And she had never found any of the girls in her school attractive either, not until that moment when the girl in the club kissed her. Her name was Melanie, and she would be Sera’s girlfriend for the next year. Her parents supported her, sat her down to make sure she knew it, and Sera never made a secret of it. Some of her friends ditched her, but most of them supported her and said that they didn’t care what gender she liked, she was still the same Sera they had always loved. It was a happy moment for her.

She broke it off with Melanie when she went to college but it was more of a mutual thing, they were both going to college and they both agreed they weren’t the “one” for each other. It was a happy parting and they still spoke often when they wanted someone to talk to. Sera’s parents had scraped together enough money for Sera’s first year, but she was mostly on loans and a scholarship to college, and she had to work as well to support herself but Sera never minded, she met a lot of new people when she worked and she took everything as an experience. Her parents had to support her little brother, not just her.

At college she did well, well enough to maintain her scholarship and well enough for her teachers to set her aside and tell her she should be teaching English, not just studying it. She inspired with her happy attitude and she agreed…but she wanted to teach college, not high school. The only really notable thing about her college career is that she found a girlfriend who was a bit more...kinky. And she found that she didn't mind. Didn't mind to the point that it was something she included in her lifestyle. Not something she needs, but she has a pretty high pain tolerance so she didn't mind. She kept on studying…but when the economic crisis hit, she was hit too. Luckily it was after she graduated towards the top of her class in college when it hit. She found herself with only enough to scrape by and get an apartment in her hometown of Chiaro. She got a job and is working currently toward getting enough money to go back to school and be a teacher again.
