▷ the basics ▶ CANON: Serena (based on a film by Ron Rash) ▶ AGE: Twenties ▶ BIRTHDAY: TBD ▶ IN DARROW SINCE: TBD ▶ RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION: Christian with little faith. ▶ SEXUALITY: Heterosexual ▶ RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Married to the love of her life. ▶ CURRENT ADDRESS: Depression-era North Carolina ▶ OCCUPATION: Wife ▶ CURRENTLY: At a loss.

▷ the more you know ▶ SIGHT: » DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS: Serena has a large burn wound on her lower back which she received from the fire that burned down her family home and killed all of her immediate relatives. » STYLE: Modest but forward for her time. She'll almost always wear pants before a skirt – she'd never ride side saddle. She has a love of luxurious things like fur coats and pelts but when she's out working with the men at the lumber mill, it's about comfort and ease of movement.  ▶ SOUND: Serena's voice is husky and she speaks well. Her father brought Oxford-schooled tutors to her home growing up and her vocabulary reflects that fact. She is considerably well educated compared to most women of her time and will let it show. ▶ SMELL: Like the perfume Pemberton imported for her which she applies each night after her bath, like horses and hay, like the woods of North Carolina. Sometimes of ash, but that might just be her imagination. ▶ TOUCH:  ▶ DEMEANOR: Serena is well-versed in the mannerisms expected of a women of the '20s but that doesn't mean she always abides by them. She'll shake a man's hand and with more grit than most will possess. She's always well-spoken, proper and refined but will speak up and expect to be heard. Her hardness has been built up over the years but she softens for a few: her husband,  her children...  if she's intoxicated. Though she's normally quite capable of controlling her emotions, certain situations will see Serena quick to anger and she is not of the forgiving and forgetting type. ▶ INFORMATION FOR PSYCHICS AND OTHER MAGIC USERS: » Any psychic is free to read Serena's mind. Contact me if you need more information for what would be on her mind – she often has nightmares. ▶ MAGICAL ABILITIES: N/A. ▶ MEDICAL INFORMATION: Serena arrives eight months pregnant. ▶ GOD-MODDING: N/A. ▶ OTHER ITEMS OF NOTE:
