Seraphina au Raa
MajorSeraphina's oversized eyes gaze with coltish wildness, her pale face framed by messy cropped hair that defies taming. Those tender long bones move with untamed grace, dirt on her knees whispering of endless adventures. She feels like a storm bottled in a child's form, fierce and free.
Seraphina au Raa begins as an 8-year-old wild child of the Rim in Morning Star, embodying the untamed spirit of her lineage. By Iron Gold, she has matured into a fierce, athletic young woman of twenty, marked by her feral aura and practical Rim sensibilities. In Dark Age, she becomes a warrior in the war against Darrow's forces, ultimately meeting a tragic end as a martyr for her people. Her arc traces the transformation from innocent emblem to fallen Rim champion, highlighting the brutal cost of war on the next generation.
Physical Description
Pale-faced with short-cropped messy hair, 8-year-old Seraphina has large eyes a third bigger than normal, giving her an intense, otherworldly gaze. Her tender long bones suggest a wild colt's frame, slender and energetic. She wears dirt-stained pants with knees marked from play, gripping a small shovel, her presence feral and unbound. A tall athletic woman of barely twenty with pale skin and short golden hair buzzed close and notched on the right side to reveal her proud neck stands with laconic power. Her face holds full lips often set unsmiling, a slightly hooked nose, and large dull gold eyes that appear sleepy yet flash with lonely fire or incandescent passion beneath thick eyelashes, giving her a distinctly feral and wild aura unlike the polished Aureates of Luna. Subtle curves and powerfully muscled legs show beneath her loose tunic and gray wool cloak fastened by a charcoal sash, practical rubber-soled slippers on her feet and the hidden scar from the brutal Io Institute completing the portrait of a burning one who walks with a storm in her veins. Seraphina au Raa is lean and shabby, her wiry frame honed by Rim hardships, with long dark hair often tangled from desert winds. A distinctive notched eyebrow marks her sharp, angular face, while her Rim eyes are chromed out, gleaming like steel in the harsh light. She wears drab robes over her starShell suit, accented with Grimmus paint, paired with simple leather boots and a kitari short sword at her hip. Dust clings to her like a second skin, giving her the air of a feral, dusty little mouse—compact, intense, and ever-watchful.

Dark Age
Seraphina au Raa starts as Romulus's fierce daughter, a lean Rim warrior scouting the brutal deserts in her starShell, kitari at her side and loyalty to her people burning hot. Thrust into the heart of the war against Darrow's forces, she fights with unyielding ferocity, her chromed eyes piercing the sandstorms as she kneels for the Blood Benediction beside her Grimmus-painted machine. Her arc cuts short in a rail slug's devastation, her starShell shattered and body bisected, leaving her as a haunting mention among the Rim's fallen— a dusty mouse turned martyr in the endless fight.
