Serinepth Sinderman

Serinepth Sinderman is one of the main characters of Trials & Trebuchets. Belonging to a wealthy noble family, Serinepth came to Wildcliff with the intention of finding and reconnecting with a member of her estranged family, who was later revealed to be Integrity Idleberry. She is a second year student at Wildcliff, School of the Arcane as of Episode 187 - Second Year.

Serinepth was introduced in Episode 10 - The Latecomer, and is played by Sam.

As of Episode 27 - Crunch Time, Serinepth has a pet hedgehog named Virgil.

## Appearance

Serinepth is described as a tall human woman with tan skin and short, wavy black hair. As of Arc 12: Trading Places, the roots of her hair have turned green and she has a small plant growing from the centre of her head.

## Personality

Serinepth regularly behaves in a polite and sophisticated manner, addressing others with respect. She has a crush on fellow student and childhood friend Phillip Maisel, and spends time with him whenever possible. Serinepth is also fairly pragmatic, willing to get her hands dirty in combat when her friends are averse to doing so. She is very protective of the people she loves.

Although Serinepth often acts polite and proper when the situation calls for it, she behaves in a more casual manner when not in the confines of social situations. For example, after receiving a letter during a sleepover from her parents pressuring her to maintain her high grades, she set the letter on fire and continued with the sleepover.

## History

Serinepth grew up in a repressive family where she was punished for behaving out of turn. At one point, Serinepth was betrothed to a man who was not Phillip. Serinepth shares a great-grandmother with Integrity Idleberry, a member of the Thornston family. After Integrity's grandmother willingly left the family, Integrity's side of the family became estranged from Serinepth's.

Serinepth's parents are not accepting of non-human races, and Serinepth has revealed that if they knew that she was friends with the rest of her study group, they might pull her out of school. They also have the ability to choose her future spouse; Serinepth is therefore aware that her time with the other students and Phillip is necessarily limited.

In Episode 24 - Closet Elves, Serinepth accidentally killed potential enemy Inquisitor Yelm with Scorching Ray after misinterpreting his body language as a gesture of imminent attack. She appears to be heavily emotionally affected by the incident, believing that she deserved her sheltered upbringing as she should be kept away from others.

After returning from Patter, Serinepth experienced significant difficulty sleeping. To allow her to sleep better, she asked Professor Happel for a prescription of sleeping draughts. In Episode 46 - Goo Lies, her teammates found out that she was taking sleeping draughts to better sleep at night, and expressed concern for her mental state.

Serinepth's mental health seems to have improved following Episode 64 - Pre-Eternal Damnation, wherein after asking an all-knowing being who exists outside of time whether killing Yelm was the right thing to do, she received a positive response.

Serinepth has a close friendship with Phillip, as well as a crush on him. After falling into some liquid in the golem chamber in Episode 80 - Mission: Improbable, Phillip has been blinded and is recovering; Serinepth has devoted significant time to taking care of him.

In Episode 168 - It Started With the Hayloft Phillip challenged Prince Frederick to a duel for Serinepth's hand, which caused great consternation. Serinepth pulled the two suitors aside and explained her feelings and how the crown prince had been misled by her parents. The prince decried Serinepth and Phillip, declaring them traitors, whereupon they both fled the scene. Serinepth was able to teleport to Dryfalls with the help of Lord Peters and Lady Maisel, reuniting with her cousin Integrity. As of Episode 174 - Saviours of the Stew, Serinepth has not heard any news from the Maisels.

After SWIM arrived in Troisle, the fox tattoo on Serinepth's shoulder came to life after being touched by the light of the full moon and disappeared along with the other team members' tattoos.
