The Looks
Hair: Her hair is black, a bit coarse, and cut short and a bit wild. Her bangs are long enough to hit just under her eyes if she lets them hang forward.

Eyes: Both of her eyes are noticeably clouded and an eerie white. Formerly, they were dark brown.
Height: 5’11”
Facial Features:
Seraphina is more statuesque than pretty, but she has an oval face, with full lips that habitually have a slight sheen from lip balm. Her nose is a bit flattened out, but straight and turned down at the tip. Her neck is long and usually encircled by a necklace of some sort. Her ears usually covered by her hair, but on the small side. They are also pierced, and she usually wears large hoop earrings or turquoise tear drops.

Body Shape: Demon-hunting is a good workout, so Seraphina is not as full-figured than most of the women in her family. She still has generous curves and a good-sized chest.

Clothing:
School Clothes: During school, she favors short-sleeved sweaters and pencil skirts. They looks sophisticated and she can still feel enough to find her way. She wears sandals when possible, and is infamous for going barefoot if she’s in Founder’s Hall or anywhere else she can get away with it.
Normal Clothes: She likes being able to feel the air on as much skin as is feasibly possible. She’s usually wearing low-necked blouses without sleeves, or short sleeves, and comfortable jeans or khaki pants with pockets in the legs.

Other: Seraphina has chocolate-colored skin. Her voice is a mellow alto and she rarely yells. She doesn't need to.

The Person:
Overall Personality:
Strengths: She knows her limits, and will not let you protect her from them. She’s got a sense of tranquility that only comes after being hard-won. She has a good sense of humor and is usually tactful. She’s courageous, but not in the daredevil sense. She’s really good at taking her job and other people seriously, but not taking herself too seriously.
Weaknesses: She’s blind. She can be very defensive of anyone “coddling” her or assuming she’s helpless. She’ll be blunt if you’re being dense. She’s also not great at communicating what she’s up to if there’s a high chance someone’s going to forbid it on a stupid principle (stupid from her perspective, of course).

Straight Facts:
Likes: Her family; Nature in general, but the ocean and forests in particular; movies; books; animals; children; soft things
Dislikes: The word “can’t” in general.
Favorite Music Genre: Jazz, swing, and big band music. Silly songs from all ages (they’re great for dancing around like a moron. What? It’s fun!)
Religion: Seraphina is a devout Christian, and comfortable with it to the point that others around her don’t have to be. She will take issue over it only if someone takes it with her first. She’s convinced her supernatural abilities are gifts from God, and losing her eyesight was a hidden blessing. It was also, as she would put it, “her own damn fault. He could have prevented it, but He didn’t, and that was probably for the best.”
Favorite Color: Pink. Not that she can actually see colors anymore, but she remembers them and still likes pink.
Favorite Food: Thai and Indian food.
Least Favorite Food: Crawfish. Maggots of the sea.

The Background
Home: St. Paul, Minnesota.
Family: This is not limited to two. Families are fun, be detailed. Try using this formula:
Virgil Danvers: (Father)
Mikaela Danvers: (Mother)
Sterling Estelle: (Husband) A massive ebony-skinned man who shaves his head and is a weapons specialist. His favorite is the heavy javelin and a saltwater-soaked net.

History:
Seraphina comes from a family of demon hunters, with a good-sized branch that lives in Eastwick. She lost her sight to a demon when she was sixteen and almost lost her life and soul to it. Mages have a tendency toward being arrogant, and she was no exception. She came out of it with a lot more humility, and much better control.

She was twenty-four and back in St. Paul when she met Sterling Estelle. They had both gone to Eastwick, though he was a few years older, but never met because of the number of initiates at the time. He assumed she stuck to lab work instead of active demon hunting. She corrected him and he thought she was joking. He ended up hung by his boxers twenty feet off the ground on a flag pole outside the public library and learned to take the aeromancer wearing the huge turquoise pendant seriously.

On their second date they took down a clan of vampires and Seraphina admitted that sharp and pointy objects could be convenient.

With the influx of initiates to Eastwick, she got “promoted”. The Powers That Be realized they finally had a legitimate reason to pull her off the front lines. She agreed and relocated back to Eastwick. She suspects something more interesting than keeping the peace in St. Paul is on the horizon.

Social Status: Middle. At one time it bothered her, now she doesn’t think about it.

The Skills:
Normal Skills:
Music – she plays the harp and the piano beautifully. She can also pick out the individual playing the wrong pitch in the middle of an orchestra.

Pottery – amazingly enough, she actually does know how to do this. She can’t do the colors, but she enjoys the feeling of shaping the clay.

Aptitudes:
Her greatest strengths are in elemental magic, particularly air and a bit of earth. Her real distinction as a mage is her extremely fine control of air. Oddly, it’s aided by the fact she’s blind. Her other senses (particularly touch and hearing) are extremely acute, and she can feel the way the air currents change, giving her a sort of radar for where things are. At this point, her cane is largely a prop.
