Serena's Lore
Life for Serena wasn't always easy. After losing her parents at age 10, she was forced to grow up in the harsh streets of Ul'dah alone for a time. The girl had to quickly adapt and figure out how to survive. When she was young, she hunted and traded for her food, and as she got older, she started using her skills as a dancer to earn her keep.From the ages of 4-10, a friendly Vieran neighbor taught Serena the fighting art of dancing, as well as the aesthetic art. When Serena arrived back in Ul'dah, she honed her skills and became a master at the craft. To this day, she still keeps up with her training, ensuring she's always in top physical shape in case she ever needs to go back to it.From the ages of 15-17, Serena lived with her friend Jay. The two took care of one another and watched each other's backs until one day, Jay disappeared without a trace, leaving her lonely and feeling abandoned.The life of a dancer in Ul'dah was not an easy one. The Miqo suffered her fair share of trauma while trying to make ends meet, but ultimately was able to join a troupe and dance at prestigious clubs and venues for money. For a long time, she danced with the troupe and on the street, but the physical strain on her body and the unsavory patrons caused her to seek a new career.Eventually, Serena started working at various bars in order to make ends meet. The scene was far nicer than dancing, mostly because she could control her own outfit and how she interacted with guests. While visiting a café one day, Serena and Jay reconnected, which reignited her desire to make new friends and branch out. She now loves to frequent different venues in search of new friends. She lives in Gridania with her husband, Ziero, their crab Mr. Pinch, and their dog, Button.

About Me
Hi! Thanks for reading Serena's carrd. I'm 33 years young and have been writing since I was 12. I work from home and my profession involves writing. She/Her if that matters to you.IC does not equal OOC. I am married IRL and have boundaries to reflect that. Boundaries will be discussed ahead of RP, and breaking that boundary even once means we end the RP.Because of my love for mature/dark themes I prefer to RP with those 21 years of age and older.If all of that sounds okay with you, feel free to hit me up on Discord or in-game. Please, come up and talk to Serena, she loves making new friends!Discord: BlueberryBubbly#0942
Ziero Rael
The love of her life, the words on her pages, the protector she never thought she needed, Ziero is her loving and attentive husband. Their love is what other consider couple goals, even if most don't know the strife they've gone through to get where they are now. They live happily in their Gridanian home with their dog, Button, and their pet crab, Mr. Pinch.
Jay Canere
The two young miqo'tes were childhood friends who were ripped apart too soon. They found each other again in adulthood, but it caused a lot of mixed emotions for Serena, who considers Jay her first love back when they were teens. Things were shaky for a bit, but their friendship has just begun to bud again.
Nakashima Xinthas
These two sometimes wonder if they were born of one of the same parents, or share some kind of plane of existence that no one can see, but the two of them can feel. They might not be together often due to Naka's responsibilities, but they sure do have a good time when they are together.
