PERSONALITY Boggart: Losing her dad. It would absolutely destroy her if her boggart were to come to life. When faced with a boggart she sees her father with a wooden steak in his heart, reaching out to her as he falls onto his knees and then onto his right side. Mirror of Erised: Happily dating a cute blonde guy, certainly NOT her brother's best friend. Patronus: Dove - Learning to swim with Kit! For so long Sera had a fear of water, completely unfounded, but on his first summer holiday home from Hogwarts, Kit taught her to swim and he actually made it fun. Being half vampire, though, Sera is not able to produce a patronus. Ravenclaw is not exactly the house you think of when you meet Sera. She's not your obvious boffin but get her onto a subject she's interested in and she could talk your ear off. Of course there are many subjects that interest Sera but trashy magazines don't make for great conversational pieces. Nevertheless she'll give a conversation about fashion a go with just about anyone. While she's no fashion snob, she does have a love for pretty things though you may not think it when you see her wardrobe and draws. Jeans and tees are her go to and honestly, they're comfortable! Sera values her comfort over how she looks but she'll still make an effort with her hair and make up, she'll just make sure she's comfy first. Never really much of a "bright" student, Sera wasn't in the Chess club at school and was never really considered for positions such as Prefect let alone Head Girl, still she was always willing to try her best at the subjects she enjoyed, Potions, Astronomy and Divination in particular. The likes of History of Magic and Transfiguration were okay but they dragged on for her, she had help, she paired up with others in her year and studied with them often to get her passable NEWTs. Much like her older brothers, Sera has taken a side in the war. She is a bit of a dreamer but believes she can help make a difference for the better. She wants to use her abilities to help others in need. She's gentle and caring and that's a large part of what lead her on her path as a bartender. She's there to lend an ear if needed and better than that, if she thinks you really need it, she'll mix you up a speciality cocktail, just for you, with a few magical pick-me-up abilities. Nothing illegal, obviously! She has a gift for reading people and empathy aplenty. HISTORY Mother: Liliana (Ana) Devereaux, deceased aged 30 (13 years ago), Pureblood witch, Ravenclaw Alumni Father: Maximus (Max) Eridanos Devereaux, 453 (appears eternally around 30 years old), Vampire Siblings: Christopher Erebus Devereaux, 23, Ravenclaw Alumnus Oliver Osiris Devereaux, 20, Gryffindor Alumnus Romily Eris Devereaux, 18, Hufflepuff Alumna Partners: None. An ex-fiance but things didn't work out. Others: Barn owl named Freya Seraphina, or Sera as she much prefers to be called, was born to Max and Ana Devereaux She was the third child and she was supposed to be the last but a year later Sera became a big sister. She had two big brothers to help guide her through life, Kit who was 4 years older than her, and Ollie who was two years older. They were always so wonderful with her and Sera has found she’s always looked up to her older brothers, but just as her brothers have always been close, she’s always been close with her sister, Roma. At the age of five Sera suffered the loss of her mother. She knew of what had happened and she understood it well enough, but she didn’t really feel the way that others felt. Roma seemed fine and Sera noticed that Ollie and Kit were sad but they would always try and keep the girls happy, make sure their minds were elsewhere. While it was a devastating time for the family, Sera has quite a few positive memories from then. Everyone saw to it that the girls were looked after, which had meant extra trips to the park, a few extra toys, being indulged in dress up tea parties and the like. To this day Sera cannot remember the exact moment she was told her mum was dead, she can only remember flashes of events that surrounded the time frame. Growing up with a vampire father was probably what others considered unusual but Sera didn’t know any different. Roma was her best friend and she was also very close with her brothers. She tended to butt heads with Kit more than anyone else in the family but it was always because they cared about one another. The day Sera’s Hogwarts letter arrived was one of the happiest of her life, admittedly it was made quite fun by watching Kit and Ollie trying to catch a panicked owl that had fluttered into the kitchen and had the realised it had entered the home of dangerous predators. Sera was used to animals never liking her, even though she quite liked them. Eventually the brothers caught the owl (and the kitchen and lounge were an absolute mess with knocked over knick knacks and owl feathers everywhere) and were able to hand Sera her Hogwarts Acceptance. She was able to go to Hogwarts with her brothers but before that she was able to a wand of her own. Hogwarts was an amazing time for Sera. Her father had gifted her an owl of her own, knowing that even though she had Kit and Ollie at school with her, she would miss Roma. The owl was very well trained and didn’t react at all to the half-vampire clan. Sera wrote to her dad and Roma weekly. She missed Roma terribly her first year but kept on sending owls. She’d send Roma little trinkets from her first year, things she’d learnt to transfigure and sweets she got Ollie and Kit to bring her back from Hogsmeade. Sera made a few friends but enjoyed her own company too. She found the magical world so fascinating. While she’d never been cut off from it, she’d never really been as involved with it as a normal witch or wizard child. Her father was a Vampire and her mother, a pureblooded witch, was dead. She’d learnt a little along the way but school was a revelation! Sera was a natural at learning, her only problem was she could only put effort into learning things that actually interested her. It was a bit of a curse at times because anything that wasn’t an interest became incredibly tedious and felt as though her mind was pooling and dripping out of her ears. She struggled with quite a few subjects but persevered to get passing grades, then of course there were the subjects she simply loved! Divination, Potions and Astronomy were her passions. She found them engaging and exciting. Those lessons she just aced, all the way through her school career. Romance was an aspect of Sera’s school years from her first year. She started dating just a few days into school. Naturally she didn’t want her brothers to find out so. There were long gaps between guys and while she was young relationships would only be a week or so. There was nothing ever truly meaningful because they were kids! It wasn’t until her fourth year that she had a boyfriend she actually liked. Things were off again, on again for a year. He cheated on her but she overlooked it because she liked him. For some reason, no matter how great she was at reading people, she couldn't get a good read on guys that she liked. By her seventh year her brothers had found out about a small handful of her relationships but there had been many more than they could possibly know. Her seventh year was when she started dating a young man that had been the year above her. They spent Hogsmeade weekends together and wrote one another frequently, after she graduated he proposed and she said yes! From her father's home she planned a wedding, just a small get together to be held the final week of August but things started going south from the day after their celebrations. Quite often his excuse was that he was tired or that he was stressed, Sera bought into it all. There were many incidences in the short time of mid-June to the second to final week of August but the final straw came when he tried raising a hand to Sera at her dress fitting. Demanding she reveal herself so he could yell at her over the date they'd chosen for it fell on an important quidditch match and he'd not realised was coming. He dragged her from the change room, screaming himself horse until he raised his hand high. He brought it down hard and fast but it clicked within Sera even faster. She grabbed him by the wrist with lightning speed and with a clasp that was close to breaking his wrist. She told him she was done with him and she left the dress shop, wedding dress still on, and spent the day roaming until she found someone to talk to and eventually made her way home. Ever since then Sera has sworn off blokes, not trusting her own judgement when it comes to her heart. She got herself a job as a bartender at a few bars before landing herself a job at The Ambrosia Lounge. Thanks to her love and knowledge of potions she's able to mix a mean cocktail and she'll encourage just about anyone to try one.
