Goals/Desires: Her present goal is to be the most decorated figure skater in the world. With four golds in both the Grand Prix Final and Worlds, she wants to solidify her mark with a fifth gold sweeping each competition to competition. Her desire is to branch out into hosting more televised events, she may also eventually consider being a mentor under her current coaches team, she wants to see more women of color succeeding and dominating in figure skating (and well, every other sector of the world). Her main desire right now is find what home might look like for her now. She’s used to be shipped away to different hotels and rentals but would love to land somewhere steady that she can always call home.
Fears: Losing Willa, being horrifically injured and ending her career before she’s ready to end it, spiders, ghosts and demons, lemon water (there’s a very specific story for this)
Hobbies: Listening to True Crime Podcasts, reading horror novels and manga, collecting records, collecting designer bags and accessories, yoga, tai-chi, and as of recently she’s taken up tango dancing.

POTENTIAL CONNECTIONS:
Drunk Friends (aka two people who do not spend time together sober but get along only when drunk) (0/2) - Very self explanatory. On the off season, Serina lets get of any strict disciplines and gives in to her inhibitions. When she’s had one too many, there is no filter and whoever may be in the eye of that storm gets to handle it with ease and a side of fun. Overall it’s a fun time, but when things are less cloudy, she will be very confused and a bit bashful about any of the events that’s occurred.
Flirtationship (0/1) - The only reason why these two aren’t committed to being committed to each other is the fact that they’re literally water and oil for each other. That’s what makes the art of flirting so much more fun though because at least half of what it takes to make a connection really spark is there. The rest of it? Not so much. Regardless, Serina is glad to have their friendship but will expect at least three compliments the moment they step towards her and she’ll relay the same to them, it’s only fair.
Jetset Life Friend (0/1) - Time to flee Paris for a few hours? This is the person that she calls who isn’t her sister. Travel is a huge part of Serina’s identity but she’s always gone for work rather than leisure. With a private jet waiting and with whatever Pinterest or Instagram has sparked inspiration for, Serina and this friend will go procure the exact experience from said inspiration. There’s nothing too off-cuff that she won’t travel for with them.
Luxury Dating App Match (0/3) - Serina downloaded this app as a joke and found that it’s far more useful for business connections. Regardless, there is something to be said about two souls in the limelight or at least close to the light trying to find connection. It could lead to something serious, something diplomatic, or something truly bizarre.
Once enemies, now frenemies (0/1) - No one is really sure what happened to begin with to make these two go after each other’s throats, but whatever it was, Serina never hesitated to have her security team attempt to toss this person out from any vicinity she might have been in, or simply engaged in a glaring match. The other thing they’re not too sure about either is when they started to mend the bridge, or at least something that looks like that. Serina isn’t attached to the hip with this person but she would like to know what it was she did to be seen as a threat to them.
Other Celebrity Influencers/Models - In Serina’s career, she’s been humbled enough to garner endorsements and plenty of PR opportunities. She’s met with and worked with plenty in the game in and out of the ice skating world. From beauty products to video games, to home improvement items, and any other product imaginable, she’s not known to turn down a collab and is always open to them, within reason.
Shopping Buddy (0/1) - Though solitude and window shopping might seem like a great time, Serina is the type of shopper who needs to plan out full days figuring out which part of town to go to, what stores she wants to go to, and what she wants (or rather needs) to grab. This person will gladly come along with their own list, and while they’re whipping our euros and spending with reckless abandon, all they can do is marvel at how much they can carry and then enjoy their spoils together.
Super Fan Turned Confidante (0/1) - It started with a tweet of admiration that happened to catch Serina’s eye and she replied back with honor and light back. From there, she would continue to catch them on her feed, thanking them for their support, eventually sending merch from her team, and somehow slowly messaging and really getting to know each other. The lines of fan versus idol slowly begin to taper off with Serina saying that they can be on equal ground because she also supports the person in their endeavors with the full intention of knowing they’ll succeed. Overall it’s a wholesome happenstance.
Unlikely Friends (0/3) - Whether it be from their lifestyles, their upbringing, their industry, or even their ages, people aren’t really sure how they get along with each other but Serina will always light up with glee any time she hears from this person. They may be complete opposites or maybe they may not fit the mold as a person that would be in Serina’s circle, but she will always advocate for their place in her life, cause what’s life without an eclectic group of friends?
If anyone walked by they would see two Serinas sitting in a field, one talking and sounding very annoyed, and the other one was for the most part setting things on fire looking very upset.
“You have to use your words, Serina.”
Serina set a random monster on fire, never once taking her eyes off of her double. What someone walking by wouldn’t understand is that right now setting something on fire stands for the word ‘no,’ and there were a lot of dead burnt monsters around them.
“This is stupid-” Fray was cut off by a fireball flying past her head. “No? You think this is funny, don’t you?”
A monster was fried by a lightning strike, what was meant to mean ‘maybe.’ Fray was so very done with this shit. When Serina doesn’t want to talk about something, or as she likes to put it “not think” she stops talking, she shuts everything down and keeps her mind blank as much as she can. The Scions have given up for now on trying to get through to her, they’ve seen this happen before.
“She’s not you, I know you know that.” Fray was trying not to yell, but it was hard, really hard. A monster caught her eye as she watched it jump to attack Serina, she was ready to draw her sword only for the monster to be frozen solid. Serina only sat there still looking at her friend. “So you agree, at least that’s something. But that still gets us nowhere, why can’t you just say what’s on your mind like you normally do?”
One flare spell went off behind Fray, another flare soon followed in its wake. Serina hasn’t done this before, what could it mean? It was a powerful spell, powerful...powerful… Oh! Fray let out a sigh. “It’s overwhelming.” A bug flying by fell to the ground covered in frost. “Why don’t you forget about it, why let these stupid feelings control you?”
The ground around them froze, Fray couldn’t help but to glare at Serina for this one. At this point ice and fire was losing their meaning, what is no? What is yes? She really doesn’t know anymore. But what she did know is that she had enough.
“Let’s just get to the point already! Who cares if she’s the sun! Why do you care so much?” She stood up yelling, who cares, who fucking cares about any of this?
She turned her back on Serina, missing the ley lines appearing around her. First it was flare, then despair followed by two casts of xenoglossy. Serina kept up with this casting spell after spell killing anything that got even remotely close to them, there were tears in her eyes.
“I. Want. My. Gods. Back!” There was a dead monster for every word she spoke. “I don’t care if they’re just stories, that’s what I loved about them. They aren’t real, what means I never have to worry about fighting them. But you have to be blind to not see how Azim comes from Azem, I can’t worship my past life that would be messed up!”
She was sobbing at this point, it was getting harder to talk. “It...it...i-i-it makes me uncomfortable, the fact that people worship a past life of mine. T-the Oronir believe they’re Azim’s descendants, which means Azem’s descendants. It’s so so uncomfortable, I never liked them, but now? Now I can’t stand them!”
Serina threw herself at Fray, hugging her as she cried into her shoulder. It was Awkward, really awkward, but at this point if it’s for Serina she would do anything. Even if that means standing here as she cries. And it was about damn time she finally said something.
“I can’t keep laughing it off, not anymore… Not anymore...”
...
“We could always kill them? Who would miss the Oronir anyway.”
“You’re horrible, we’re not gonna kill them.”
“...Put them in timeout? Give them guard duty?”
If anyone walked by they would see two Serinas standing in a field that’s half frozen and half burning, one very awkwardly returning a hug, and the other one laughing at her double.
you've hardened a shell around the person that you used to be. there was only so much you could take until you needed to gain control, change the only thing you could. you might think there's only a yolk left inside, but there's so much more. in the corners and in the crevices, there's pieces of you that you never got to meet. i promise that little kid is still in there. things will get better because you're good at breaking through things. so keep yourself together, yeah? that little kid still hasn't seen the rest of the world yet.
