Sericea exudes an aura of fierce elegance and wild grace, her slender build accentuated by a sleek, muscular frame. Her fur, a deep, rich red, flows seamlessly across her body. Intricate patterns of dark and light adorn her bodice, with patches of black and dark gray interspersed along her legs and sides. Her face is captivating, framed by a distinctive mask-like pattern of creamy white fur that stands in stark contrast to the darker hues. This white mask draws attention to her piercing amber eyes, which gleam with intensity and intelligence, giving an impression of both keen perception and latent menace. A flowing mane of lighter fur, almost ethereal in its creamy whiteness, cascades along her neck and upper back, standing in sharp relief against the darker reds and blacks of her body. Her legs are long and lean, designed for swift, silent movement, covered in black fur that transitions smoothly into the red of her body. Her bushy tail, predominantly red with a striking white tip, balances her form, adding to her overall symmetry and grace.
appearance
As a child, Sericea will display a deep curiosity about the world around her. She is eager to come to terms with the reality of the world and learn how to bend it to her will. Her analytical nature is evident in her thoughtful questions and her tendency to observe rather than immediately act. Her natural inclination for honesty, combined with an early childhood innocence will make her bluntness even more pronounced- of course until she learns how to better articulate herself. She will always speak her mind, seldom considering the impact of her words which in turn, may end up unintentionally hurtful remarks. Her straightforwardness can be both refreshing and disarming to those around her. But you can’t get too mad about it- the therapy is free after all.
Sericea will show a strong sense of independence, as soon as she is old enough to taste it, preferring to do things on her own and finding resourceful solutions to her problems. The self-reliance is an encouraged trait- being a sign of strength. Her loyalty is evident early on, especially in her relationships with her close family and friends. Fiercely protective of those she cares about, Sericea goes to great lengths to defend them. This ride-or-die connection will tend to manifest in possession, as she struggles with sharing the attention and affection of those she loves.
Despite her serious undertones, Sericea has a playful side that enjoys mischief and adventure. She loves playing games, teasing her peers, and engaging in harmless pranks as a way to explore boundaries and understand social dynamics. However, Sericea can appear emotionally detached, understanding emotions on an intellectual level but finding it challenging to connect with them on a more personal level. This detachment allows her to remain calm and composed in situations that might unsettle others.
Her temper- gods what a temper- can be volatile, especially when she feels frustrated or challenged. She has a low tolerance for failure and can become explosively angry when things don’t go her way. She’ll need help learning how to manage herself, but it remains a defining aspect of her personality. When Sericea becomes interested in something, she dives in with obsessive focus. Whether it’s a new game, a skill, or a piece of knowledge, she dedicates herself completely to mastering it, often excelling in her chosen pursuits but sometimes neglecting other areas of her life. There always has to be some sort of trade-off.
Even as a child, Sericea shows a tendency to be harsh and unforgiving, particularly towards those she perceives as weak or incompetent. She has little patience for mistakes and can be quite critical of herself and others, reflecting her high standards and drive for perfection. This harshness is the foundation of her demeanor, shaping her interactions from an early age.
