## Background

The youngest daughter of King Painite and Queen Tanzanite When she was little, she didn't have much contact with her father, so her childhood and adolescence she was much closer to her mother, Tanzanite really was a good mother to Serin, maybe a little clingy and protective sometimes but still a good mother and one of the few healthy relationships she's had. Little Serin was much more friendly and outgoing, even being a little naïve, but things started to change as she entered her teens.

Every time she saw her parents fight and she didn't understand why she was the last heir and her parents had totally opposite plans for her, for Tanzanite, Serin should be free to make her own decisions and live her future as she wants but for Painite, Serin, like her other siblings, should marry a member of a nearby pride to create alliances, Serin didn't like to see her parents fighting so she decided to accept her father's plans just to end these arguments. That´s when Serin met Jet, in the beginning, Serin really tried to get closer to Jet, and in a way, she ended up liking them, their relationship seemed to go very well until Jet revealed themself to be verbally manipulative and physically abusive. Serin tried to talk with her father about not wanting to go through with plans to marry Jet for the way he really was but to Serin's surprise her father seemed not to care a bit about the situation and much less care about his daughter's feelings, Serin found herself alone in a complete void for a while until a moment when she got tired and had another fight with Jet, in which they almost drowned her in a nearby river but in the end Serin found herself overcome with rage and ended up slitting Jet's throat in the fight. Her father was furious because she had "screwed up" everything and had to pay with her own life.

After a long fight Serin wouldn't last long, her father was injured but he was bigger and stronger than her so she followed with the only chance she had and ran as fast as she could, Serin ran and ran until finally exhaustion overcame her and she had to stop at a small oasis to rest Scared and alone she was found by a small group of travelers who helped her, after telling her story the travelers allowed her to join the group and so she traveled with them for some time , learning many things from them like hunting alone, finding water and especially how to defend herself During a trip they stopped at Thundering Mountain to rest for a few days but something about that place made Serin prefer to stay there .

As her fellow travelers were leaving, Serin said that she would like to try staying there, they understood but said that whenever she wanted to travel with them again she would be welcome and once again Serin was on her own, she really enjoys living in the Thundering Mountains, but still has a lot of trouble making friends. When it comes to her work as a sentry, she knows how to work well in a team even when she doesn't like someone on her team. When in her free time she likes to lie on tree branches or in corners by herself. She avoids going near the hot springs because she is afraid of water (for obvious reasons.)
