Sera Phim (Freak Show)

Sera Phim

Age: 2000+

Physical age: 19

Height: 5’6

Species: Angel / Seraphim

Appearance: Sera has bright pink hair with cyan accents, dulled pink eyes with visible bags underneath, and a second, smaller pair of eyes beneath her regular eyes. She wears the standard girls’ uniform with the top buttons undone. White, angelic wings extend from the sides of her head, slightly above and behind her ears, complementing her celestial heritage.

Personality: Initially monotone, silent, and highly rational, Sera often appears airheaded and indifferent, giving little outward reaction to most situations. She carries centuries of experience and guilt, having overseen countless lives, which contributes to her emotional detachment. Over time, she has begun to show more emotion, particularly anger, influenced by her close friend and recent teacher of sorts, Rev Vennet. Outbursts typically occur when pushed too far and are usually rare but intense, reflecting a slow but steady progression from apathy to selective emotional expression. Sera typically speaks in short intervals, a few words at a time, or occasionally full sentences, allowing her words to carry weight.

Development: Sent to KADE Academy due to lives lost under her watch, Sera’s mentors hoped she would learn to better understand her duties and connect with others. While initially nonchalant and seemingly unmotivated, her experiences at KADE, particularly interactions with Rev, have led her to engage more with her peers and express herself in moments of frustration or injustice. Her rehabilitation teacher, Mr. H.P. Lovecraft, has observed her progression and ultimately recognized her independence, telling her: “There comes a time where something must change, lest we be stuck in eternity—never growing, never improving. If you ever do feel that time come, please... let me know. Until then—you are dismissed.”

Sera Phim is an ancient being in a youthful body, balancing centuries of experience and guilt with the slow growth of emotional expression and social connection. She is stoic yet capable of strong emotion, detached yet beginning to form meaningful relationships. Her journey at KADE is one of reluctant self-discovery, guided by mentors and peers but ultimately dictated by her own choices and willingness to change.
