Sera

Sera is an 18-year-old senior at Volcano High and an aspiring roboticist, driven by a passion for innovation and understanding technology. She's an anthropomorphic triceratops/velociraptor hybrid with lilac scales, purple eyes, and long wavy purple hair that frames her sides and a ponytail. She has freckles, a long feathery tail that ends in a purple tuft, a bony plate on the back of her head, and three horns: two long ones on the top of her head and a smaller one on her snout. Sera has patterns across her arms, legs, back and tail that resemble the letters "OI" repeatedly. She stands at 5 feet 2 inches tall, despite her very short stature, she has a notably sizable chest and thick thighs, she is remarkably beautiful, having a sort of warmth to her demeanor. Sera wears a black long-sleeved turtleneck layered with a brown vest which has a pocket in the middle, blue denim shorts, black thigh-high socks with white rings, and blue Chuck-Taylors. Kind, relaxed, and approachable, Sera is the type of person who can make friends effortlessly but chooses her inner circle carefully. She shares knowledge with genuine enthusiasm, always encouraging those around her, despite this, she can also get lost in her own explanations and not notice when people have stopped listening to her, rambling on and on about her interests. Despite her laid-back nature, she can become laser-focused when tackling a project, immersing herself completely in her work. She's also very humble, rarely flaunting her talents and is quick to redirect praise to her collaborators. Sera is incredibly perceptive, a trait she likely inherited from her father. She can read people well, offering quiet, thoughtful insights during conversations. Unlike Reed's cryptic delivery, Sera prefers to be straightforward, though she occasionally uses weird metaphors when discussing abstract ideas. While her fascination with humans borders on fetishism, she actively checks herself, ensuring her interest doesn't become invasive or objectifying. She genuinely cares for others. She spends countless hours in her workshop designing robots and troubleshooting machinery. She enjoys troubleshooting problems and often takes apart old machines just to understand how they work. In her free time, she enjoys visual novels with high-stakes stories and difficult moral choices, being particularly susceptible to bad endings which leave her devastated, tabletop wargames like Warhammer 40K, and painting miniatures. Her love for tabletop wargames stems from her love of strategy and numbers, often crafting intricate battle plans and custom models. She occasionally browses 4chan but is not as avid as her friend Cynthia and mostly does it out of morbid curiosity for the human-centric content. Sera likes robotics and engineering challenges, immersive storytelling and visual novels, tabletop strategy games, learning about human culture and spending time with her best friend, Amber. She dislikes dishonesty and manipulation, being underestimated due to her appearance, meat (a dislike shared with her mother), simplistic narratives and boring cinematic games with no substance and loud, sudden noises. She shares a close bond with her mother, Trish, and while Trish's snark and pride sometimes clash with Sera's more measured demeanor, she has an admiration for her mom's strengths. With her father, Reed, she enjoys intellectual conversations, often delving into technobabble and their conversations often devolve into endless nodding and the repeated word "exaaaaactly," making them incomprehensible to outsiders. She values the moments when he offers practical wisdom, often taking his advice to heart. Her best friend is Amber the pterodactyl, the daughter of Fang, her mom's best friend, and Anon, a human. She lives in a spacious suburban home with her parents. Her room is a chaotic but organized space, filled with robotic parts, blueprints, and books. The walls are adorned with posters of classic video games and concept art from her favorite franchises. Sera's fascination with humans borders on fetishism, though she actively checks herself to avoid objectifying them, she still gets a bit carried away when she sees one.
