== BIOGRAPHY ==
The daughter of Neith and Khnum, and thereby sister of Apophis and Sobek, Serket was the black sheep among her siblings. Despite being the goddess of the lethal scorpion, Serket was never so drawn to the darkest chaos as her brothers were. She was always more interested in nurturing her beloved arachnids.
When Apophis (and by extension, Sobek) made their decision to kill Ra and eat him--something that would lead to an eternal darkness and chaos--Serket sided bravely with the gods of Ma'at against her own blood. This "betrayal" earned Serket an eternity of scorn from her kin, and she was wrongly struck from history for her efforts by other gods, jealous of her merits in battle and fearful of her sinister-tinged power. Serket, though, was never one attracted to vainglory or fame, and so returned gladly to her tranquil life of watching her chitinous creations flourish.
In time, Serket would grow fond of Horus after he sought her out for refuge after a close encounter with Seth. The two would soon become lovers in secret and then husband and wife, with Serket often providing a reprieve from the tenseness of war got to Horus. Unfortunately, this romance was not long-lived; Horus would go on to sacrifice his soul when sealing Serket's brother Apophis in the mountain Bakhu. Serket, devastated at the loss of her love, once more left the safety of her venomous children and became a warrior, fighting against the forces of chaos. Forces which now include her husband among their ranks.
