Gender:Female
Height: 5”6 1/2
Weight: 43 kg
Appearance: Seraphine has light and nearly pale skin. Her skin is similar to a baby’s and is flawless. Along with her height, she has some curves and likes to show it off most of the time along with some killer curves. Her long dirty-blonde hair is in the cork-screw style which she sometimes ties up. But when it’s let down, it reaches until her lower back. Her eyes are color green. Everytime someone looks her in the eye, they remember the serenity of the meadows. She also has a pointy nose~
She isn’t too chubby nor too skinny. She has a nice smile, pretty eyes with long lashes, *cough* assets *cough*. Her legs are long and make it easy for her to run and walk by taking long strides. Her fingers are also long sported with long finger-nails. She has a well chiseled face that most people like to see when her hair is let down.
Seraphine wears the most skimpiest of clothes sometimes revealing some skin here and there. But there are also some times when she would act very decent and wear the most fabulous clothing. She has a small tattoo like mark on her back shoulder that forms a black cross. Aside from that, Seraphine has a face that most people would remember. But her personality is something they would really forget.
(I’ll try to post a picture when I can.)
Personality: Seraphine Grimaldi is the type of person someone you would really get along with. She’s very friendly and approachable. She makes friends very easily and is the flexible person who can get along with nearly anyone. She’s the kind person who you would see quietly sitting in the corner reading a book or having coffee or tea. She’s very gentle and helpful. When you’re in trouble or problems, you can go to her to open up. She can keep a secret since she also harbors a secret of her own.
Behind all the glamour and her kindness hides a different side of Seraphine that only her closest companions have seen. Her secret harbors a dark past which to her is too painful to open up. And because of the traumatic experiences, she sometimes has the tendency to snap and go crazy. She has most of her breakdowns every 5-6 months of when the night is just too calm and silent. But if that doesn’t happen, she has the occasional night mare.
She also has her mood swings on days when it’s peaceful and silent. During these days, she tends to keep everything to herself and just stays most of the time in the former artillery room of her father, the only room where she’s in solitude and in peace. In the artillery room, nothing bad ever happens to her. And because of all the time she spends in there, she has a secret addiction to anything that could help her with self defense since she is alone by herself most of the time.
But despite all of that and all the experiences she’s suffered, she still remains the calm and peaceful Seraphine. Just don’t try and approach her when she snaps.

Strengths:
Speed- she’s very fast on her feet, hands and mind. From spending too much time in her father’s artillery room, she has physically trained herself to be fast for any uncanny situation.
Secrecy- it’s no use when she keeps secrets. She can hide anything anywhere and she’s the only person who knows where she hid that valuable item.
Single Combat- She works her best when she’s alone. She really doesn’t like the company of other people as she thinks that they’ll just get hurt and will just get in the way.
Determined- she’s determined when she wants something done. She doesn’t give up that easily
Reliable and Trustworthy- “Trust isn’t given but it is earned.” That’s one of her principles and even she herself must gain the trust of her comrades.
Weaknesses:
Shrort-Tempered- Despiter her calm appearance, she can get pissed off ASAP. Sometimes it takes her anger to build up. And other times, she snaps once you tick her off.
Cruelty-
Team-work- She really doesn’t do well in teams and really doesn’t work well along with her group.
Hard to Gain Trust- She doesn’t give out her trust like it’s free. She wants to see the person prove themselves before she can put her faith into that person.
Too mysterious/secretive- She only has little friends due to this reason. She harbors secrets that she would really keep to the extent that she’d kill the person just to keep her secret safe. (But she hasn’t done anything like that).
Unstable- This only happens when she has nightmares . She screams and sometimes she ruins things in her sleep. It takes a long time for her to calm down during her nightmares.
Clueless to Love- She doesn't know when someone likes her. She just dismisses it as a suggestion of some sort. She really can't relate into topics similar to those.
History: Seraphine Grimaldi was born into her full name of Seraphine Tatiana Marie Grimaldi. Growing up as a child in their household was full of silence and solitude which she still carries in her persona until now. She was an illegitimate child from the class of an assassin and a class of a necromantic magician. Seraphine knows nothing about her mother since she died in child birth. She never knew the affection her mother wanted to give her.
Seraphine’s father raised her in a secluded mansion where no one ever ventured. He thought that it was best for her to live in seclusion and not know of the outside world until she was fully ready face it herself. He trained her to fight for herself and to use such weapons and to master them with their full extent. Seraphine loved her father so much and enjoyed every training session with him. She spent most of her time along with her father in the artillery room. And at a young age, she already knew how to kill a person without her knowing.
She was too attached to her father and couldn’t bear to be away from him for a long time. These were the fruitful years of her youth that she would want to restore. During those years, Seraphine only had the love of her father and no one else.
However, no one expected for a massacre to take place. Every single person in the entire mansion lost their life. And Seraphine was there to watch. She was only 12.
The traumatic experience Seraphine always has a nightmare about was that night when she witnessed her father being stabbed by several men and then forcing her to watch the blood spill out of her father’s body. Once the men were gone, the mansion was left open and anyone came in freely as they pleased and they never came? in to take Seraphine with them. They only cared for the riches and stole everything in sight.
However, one day, one friend of her father’s came in and found the mansion to be rotting in with hell. He took Seraphine along with him and took her in as his own and raised Seraphine until she was 15. As she was growing up, she used the money her father left her to construct a similar version of her old home in the Residential District. She even added the Artillery room she loved so much in her childhood. She even went over to the old mansion to gather all the weapons that were left by her father.
However, while she was still under the care of the friend, she was so lonely and often picked on by the other kids. Most people found pity in her while others think that she was just bad luck to her father. She barely had any friends and was alone for most of the time. This was the era when she yearned for her father’s love once again. But she knows that she can’t have that back.
It was during these years that she was experiencing her breakdowns and her nightmares. After a while, she was able to control her breakdowns. But it seems that the nightmare just wouldn’t stop haunting her. Even though she ahs went to see many different people about her nightmares, they still couldn’t figure out what they meant. So until now, she feels that there is still unfulfilled in her life.
But shortly after the construction of the new mansion, her adoptive father died from heart-failure and was left once again to fend for herself. She moved in the new mansion along with a few maids to keep her company at times. She still trains in secret not revealing her true self to the outside world.
Due to her habit of being alone, she would hinder the bonding time with her father by taking leisurely strolls by herself in the night. Something they did when he was still alive. She wouldn’t bring any company along with her as she only wants to hear the sound of the night. This makes her forget of all her troubles and problems.
Sample Post:
“Papa! Papa! Wait for me!!” a small green-eyes girl ran towards a tall stern man with a monacle as he seemed to take a leisurely stroll in their garden. He turned around to reveal his dark violet eyes that glistened in the sunlight. He smiled as he saw his young daughter beam her smile towards him.
“Seraphine. Would you like to take a stroll with me?” he asked as he leaned forward a bit to have eye-level with his daughter. The little girl disdainfully shook her head as she giggled. “No? Then what would you like to do then?” he asked her.
“I wanna play hide and seek!!” she said poking his cheek, a habit of hers whenever she was impatient and wanted to play. A slight breeze met them as Seraphine’s curls started to move along with the course of the wind. Her father nodded to her request. Seraphine hugged her father.
But after sometime, she felt something piercing her skin from behind. She pushed him away to find her father turning into a horrible monster. His face was sagging and he was starting to cough out blood. Seraphine shrieked with all her might. And everything suddenly went blank.
“Milady, are you just fine?” someone asked worriedly as Seraphine instantly sat up. She was panting and sweating so badly. Clumps of hair were clutching on to her face from the endearing sweat she produced from her slumber. Seraphine awoke to her maids looking worried as they surrounded her bedside.
“Y-Yes…” she struggled stating her answer. She had another nightmare. The third one this month. Seraphine noticed the people in her room preparing everything for her. Her bath, the clothes she was going to wear, her breakfast. During her nightmares, she becomes unstable and can barely remember anything.
“Marie… wh-…what happened to me again?” Seraphine asked in a shivering voice. Her hands were cold once again shaking a bit. Despite the sweat trickling down her face and neck, there was a chill in the room. An old lady sat down on her bedside. She put her hand in Seraphine’s cheek.
“Oh dear… you’re ice cold again.” She noticed.
“In the dream, my father turned into a monster again… Blood was trickling down everywhere… deformed face… Something was piercing my back.” Seraphine explained what she could remember in her dream. She once again lay down on her bed, the soft pillows caught her head. She covered her eyes with her hands to stop the light from hurting them more.
“Would you like us to get out? Maybe some time of peace, milady?” Marie asked. As she got up and clapped her hands twice. The other maids motioned to get out of the room as Seraphine finally got out of her bed and looked out to the brand new day.
’A brand new day again huh?'
