All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.
I still owe a proper intro to Mercutio, but hereās a bit about Sera Carrow! If youād like to plot with any of my characters, please shoot me a message because Iād love to get some things going!
EIZA GONZALEZ? No, thatās actually SERAFINA CARROW. Only a SIXTH YEAR, this GRYFFINDOR student is sided with THE DEATH EATERS. SHE identifies as CIS-GENDER FEMALE and is a DEMANDING who is notorious for being DEMANDING and RETICENT but also revered for being REFINED and COMPOSED.Ā
Okay so this is Serafina Carrow and sheās the adopted sister of Valeria, Jacqueline, and Tisiphone Carrow and Iām going to try to keep this relatively short and sweet!
The Carrow parents are actually kind of really yikes, but Sera doesnāt feel particularly close to them, however the same canāt be said about her sisters.
She loves them a whole lot, but she has a mangled sense of loyalty and they are really the only things keeping her connected. Sera is very loyal, but she can also be a bit of a flight risk.
Her sisters are probably the only ones that she is truly and wholly deeply loyal to, because, at her core, she is self-preserving and also ready to pull a Gone Girl at almost any point in time???
Sera respects alliances, connections, and mutually beneficial relationships. She is loyal, but it only goes so deep ā but a severed relationship is more likely to come than a betrayal.
Sheās most likely to act in extremes if roped into it by other people. Sheās pretty even keeled but can get worked up/pushed into one direction or another.
Her self-preservation shows itself in less brutal ways mostly, especially with her fierce independence (but sheās actually not quite as independent as she thinks??) and she tries to take care of her own shit together so no one else has to - and sheād probably rebuff them if they tried. Sheād prefer to take care of others than vice versa, but she actually has a pretty low bullshit tolerance tbh
She tries to keep out of trouble ā or rather, she operates in a way that you canāt pin or trace anything back to her if the situation calls for it. She tries to cover for those she cares about/keep them out of trouble/sera is pretty damn good at cleaning up messes/etc, as well.
Sera always, always, always has an exit plan? Or tries to have a fail safe? She likes to be able to get herself into an out of things unnoticed/unscathed.
^^^ basically she wants the ability to take care of the people she loves and wants to protect, but she doesnāt really intervene too much?
These are all things she wants to be capable of ā and she is, to some extent, but not quite as much as sheād like/actually thinks she is???
I know thatās pretty contradictory, and sheās aware that itās one of her flaws, and sometimes she tries to counterbalance herself and it doesnāt quite work out in her favor. Sera can actually get kind of panicky at the worst times ā thisāll be important later.
UM UM UM this is getting kind of long, but sheās listed as a DE (largely because of the fam and not her own beliefs?) even though sheās horridly apathetic about a lot of this, and doesnāt really support a war, and she doesnāt want to get too involved. It spooks her more than it interests her, but sheās never going to admit that
She likes birds
Sera is really quite skilled at potions, and in post-hogwarts verses she runs an upscale apothecary/parfumerie -- like a potions shop that also specializes in cosmetics, beauty potions, etc.Ā
Once upon a time she fell in love with either a muggleborn or a halfblood, panicked, and either killed them (like in most verses yikes) or just obliviated the shit out of them?? I havenāt decided yet, but it could be used as a plot point/connection? Someone could black mail her into doing something for one side or the other, idk idk
Iām going to end this here because itās getting less and less coherent, but Iād love to get some plots going for this grump. <3
