Serenity Agonium

Serenity is a modern sinner who looks and acts like she doesn't exactly belong in Hell. She seeks out to rehabilitate herself once she knew of the existence of the Happy Hotel; finally seeing a means of escape her past and looking to a possible better future.
== Appearance ==
Serenity is a shorter demon, standing at a steady 5'4" with medium-length, straight brown hair. Her eyes have white sclera, black irises with purple undertones, and white eye slits that act as pupils. She has a peachy-pale complexion, black coloured lips, and three scars marked on her face; one along the bridge of her nose, and an x-mark on her left cheek. A purple bruise has formed a circle around her neck; an indicator of her death, with rope hung loosely around her neck. Serenity wears a red shirt with a skirt that flairs out at her waist, sleeves with cuffs that flair out at her elbows, white cuffed pants that go just below her knees, and red ankle boots.
== Personality ==
Serenity’s personality tends to be very high-energy; she’s easily entertained and mostly chipper. She’s kind enough to lend a hand to anyone in need, but knows who to be a bit wary of. She can be fairly one-track minded and naïve to some things, but she’s not dumb; having done her research on all the rulers of Hell minus the Overlords that she refuses to give attention to, Serenity is mindful of things like the hierarchy and who to respect. Serenity can also be easily angered by things such as sexual remarks towards her, or degrading comments. Being in Hell has made her resort to her wits and be more brutal than she would like to be. But in the right company, that sweet little sinner can shine through once again. With close friends, Serenity is far more relaxed and conversational.
== History ==
When she was alive, Serenity was a genuine soul who’s only ‘sin’ was murdering her father in fit of rage; an act which Serenity believes she was justified in committing. Her mother died of lung cancer when she was 12, leaving her in the hands of her emotionally abusive and neglectful father. Growing up, Serenity was practically a prisoner of her own home, with her father giving little freedom with what she did away from the house; and despite this, he hardly cared for his own daughter or showed her much emotional support or affection. Because of this, Serenity resented her father and searched for any way out, eventually being free when she unflinchingly killed him. But the aftershock was too strong for her to handle, so Serenity ran off and killed herself shortly afterwards. Too afraid to face the consequences and not having anyone left to fall back on.
When she died, Serenity came across the TV Overlord, Vox, rather quickly; trespassing on his territory without knowing. But for one reason or another, Vox decided to take her in and help her get on her feet while telling her about the harsh realities of the world she now inhabited. Serenity quickly discovered that she could use her ‘innocent human-like’ appearance to easily cross between Overlord territories with little to no suspicion of her actions, and let other demons’ guards down because most of them thought she wasn’t capable of much; when in reality, Serenity’s demon form gave her a big boost in her strength to make up for no supernatural powers. Once she started her little business (which was essentially a goods collector and distributor), Vox became her first and only client. She only did it for him out of kindness since he helped her out. It started out fine, but over the months, Serenity’s work started gaining more clients, so Serenity wished for more freedom away from Vox. But, because he made her who she is, he keeps her under his thumb through threats and it all reminds Serenity of her old life as a prisoner of her own home. Because of all this, Serenity has grown a great disliking to Vox.
== Abilities ==
=== Natural Abilities ===
* Demon Transformation: Like all demons, Serenity has the ability to transform into her full demon form at ease.
* Unassuming Appearance: Due to Serenity appearing more human-like, many are known to underestimate her and what she’s capable of. Which gives her the advantage of getting other demons’ guard down.
=== Skillset ===
* Dancing: It’s confirmed that Serenity took ballet as a child, but also enjoys and is quite good at any style of dance. Her level of endurance and agility nearly matches the likes of Charlie and Alastor.
* Hand-to-Hand Combat: Serenity is shown to be quite proficient and strong in a fight, as she fended off attacking demons in her prequel comic.
* Intellect: Serenity has shown a vast amount of knowledge of Hell’s various territories and what goods can be found where. She also has a good grasp on technology, being from a more modern time era.
== Affiliations ==
=== Charlie ===
Charlie’s kindness and energy are a breath of fresh air to Serenity. She adores the princess’s ambition and appreciates her belief that a sinner can make it to Heaven if they really commit themselves. Since Serenity is serious about her redemption, Charlie is more than happy to help her get to where she wants to be.
=== Vaggie ===
Serenity probably gets along best with Vaggie; living and dying around similar time periods, they relate to each other a little more than the rest of the hotel staff. Like Charlie, Serenity appreciates that Vaggie shares the similar belief that a sinner can redeem themselves if they commit. Although, Vaggie arguably gets more involved with Serenity as a patron of the hotel because she thinks that all the time Serenity spends around Alastor could be detrimental to her redemption; knowing that Serenity isn’t fully aware of the Radio Demon’s capabilities and nature.
=== Alastor ===
Alastor was the first person to welcome Serenity when she got to the hotel. He caught on quick to the fact that she had no idea who he was, therefore had a blind trustworthiness of him he planned to use to his advantage.
Since Alastor considers rehabilitating a demon ‘nonexistent humanity’, he’s entertained by the idea of Serenity trying so hard to be a better person. He’ll make the occasional comment of her efforts being all for not, since ‘the chance given was the life she lived before’. And he constantly questions her on why she would want to redeem herself. One day, she reveals that she wants to redeem herself because her mother is in Heaven, and Serenity just wants to be with her again. Alastor immediately stops questioning Serenity after knowing this, but it doesn’t stop him from trying to suede her to give up.
In general, the two seem to enjoy each other’s company since they both appreciate each other’s cheeriness, interest for dance, and welcoming personalities; it's hinted that Serenity is somewhat infatuated with Alastor. Whether he reciprocates those feelings or not is unknown, but unlikely.
=== Angel Dust ===
Angel Dust tries to rope Serenity into pranks and such that she considerers ‘will lower her redemption level’. But as a fellow patron of the Happy Hotel, understands her motives and tries to respect her overall goal. On the other hand, Serenity tries to encourage him to do more redemption-worthy things. To put it simply: Angel is the brother Serenity never had, and Serenity is the sister Angel always misses.
=== Vox ===
Before the hotel existed, Serenity used to do some side work for Vox along many other demons in Hell. Since he helped her get on her feet once she dropped into Hell, he believes he’s entitled to her services first and foremost. Because of this, Serenity has grown a great disliking to Vox, but begrudgingly does his work because of what he can do to her less she refuses.
=== Niffty ===
Serenity gets along fairly well with Niffty, since she’s always looking to lend a helping hand around the hotel.
=== Husk ===
Husk and Serenity have a relationship along the lines of a grumpy uncle and his sweet niece that insists on spending time with him and he always complains about it but secretly appreciates her presence at the hotel. It can easily be summed up as a ‘Grunckle Stan and Dipper/Mable type’ relationship.
=== Valerie ===
Serenity and Valerie are very close. Although Serenity doesn’t always agree with Valerie’s choices, she stands by her if she needs her help.
=== Raymond ===
Serenity clearly resents her father for everything he’s done, and believing that her murder of him is justified because of that. Raymond was neglectful and abusive to her growing up, and his second-hand smoke was the cause of her mother’s death. The mere mention of Serenity’s father can cause her to go into a rage.
