Name: Mersera
Nicknames: Sera [pronounced "Sarah"]
Orientation: Bisexual
Age: 25
Birthday: June 24th
Gender: Female [though often masquerades as male]
Family: Arnoldus [adoptive father]; Aelte [current caretaker]
Significant Other: Gladio

Personality: Sera is a very headstrong girl. She's stubborn to a fault, and often doesn't know when to give up. She can get a little hyperactive at times, whenever she's shown or given something she adores. She's extremely loyal, willing to lay down her life for whomever has earned her allegiance. She can also be cold-blooded, though, and won't hesitate to remove the targets she's been assigned. She is an efficient killing machine. She enjoys socializing and making friends when she isn't out killing, and absolutely delights in taking part in public galas, dances, ect. Sera also tends to be highly curious, which often leads her to get into things she shouldn't really touch.

Likes: Gladio and his friends, climbing/free-running/parkour, long walks, exercising/working out, making friends, attending social functions [such as balls, galas, and parties], surprising people about her gender [most tend to think she's a male due to her appearance], sharpening her weapons, listening to music, and practicing her ballroom dancing.
Dislikes: hot/humid weather, being knocked down when free-running, being chased by the enemy, rude people, thieves [unless they're working with/for her], pickpockets, stormy weather, deep water, ships/sailing, rodents, bitter tastes, being called clumsy, having her faults pointed out to her, spicy and sour foods, and getting injured.
Fears & Phobias: failing the ones she loves, losing the ones she loves, and being betrayed.

Skills & Talents: Sera is very adept at sneaking and stealth. She can move silently, and hide in plain sight. She's quick on her feet, and her hands are nimble and and quick as well. She's been trained to control her emotions, so they don't get in the way of her line of work. She was trained to be a master sword-fighter, and can hold her own against the best.
Occupation: Assassin [by night], student [by day]

Other: Mersera became an assassin at a young age, because she had nowhere else to turn to. She was abandoned as a baby, and bounced from foster home to foster home. With each home, she proved too boisterous and energetic for the family to handle, and had to be moved to a new one. That is, until she was adopted by an assassin by the name of Arnoldus, who could handle her and her bundle-of-energy personality. He brought her into the Order as a means for her to channel her energy into something useful, and she soon became one of the most adept assassins in her area. Only a year after she had become one of them, she witnessed the man she had come to call "father" and "mentor" fall by the enemy's blade. Since then, she has vowed to avenge him.

Her arsenal usually includes: a sword given to her by Arnoldus; poison darts; smoke bombs; her hidden blades; a dagger; a crossbow; and a small pistol. She's also been known to use her feminine wits on targets to lure them close, and then take them out with her hidden blade.

About her outfit: She prefers to dress in fairly gender-neutral clothing, because she wants people to get to know her for her and not just what she's wearing. But the clothes she wears also serve as protection against the steel of her enemies in battle--meaning it is made up of a lot of leather or stronger types of armor.
