History

Sera Edwards was born in London, England. She was the only daughter of Sir Marcus Edwards, scholar and later the director of the Society for Antiquarian Studies. Her father encouraged her studies by allowing her access to the collections of the Society. She grew up as a tomboy, exploring her grandparents country home or ancient ruins abroad during the summers.

She was an excellent student, winning awards and excelling in all subjects. She read History at Cambridge and went on to form the first University Archaeological Society with several of her male colleagues. She graduated and went on to take odd jobs at archaeological sites around the world.

Sera returned to England upon the death of her father. She was encouraged by her mother and the society to take a active scholarly role within the UK. She was appointed assistant Professor at the University of London and was forced to publish consistently to support a failing department. She hated it and would rather be doing fieldwork.

Luckily, Sera received a prestigious grant to study the manifestations of death in Germanic folklore of rural regions during the 14th century and their ties plague, famine, and warfare. Her studies have recently brought her to the town.

Personality

Sera is a born and bred scientist- she believes in rationalism, the pursuit of knowledge, and order. So naturally Streitstadt has pushed the limits of her skepticism. Yet, the area has done little to quash her boundless curiosity. This is paired with a healthy sense of adventure, much to her detriment.

Sera is by no means a social butterfly, but has learned how to put on airs when in the right company (though she abhors it). She is quick to turn a conversation academic, less because of self-interest and more because that's the only way she knows how to communicate. As such, she can come off both awkward and erudite. Luckily, the charisma she shows for knowledge is infectious and can act as a buffer for her inability to properly connect with others.

A few beers in and Sera's demeanor crumbles to reveal a raucous and mischievous side.

Quirks

Inquisitive, takes notes at inopportune times, uncomfortable being alone around men, self-reliant, unmarried, can speak in Ancient Egyptian.

Physical Traits

Sera sports a bob of wild, curly hair. She has a scar over her left eyebrow and small smattering of sun-baked freckles across the top of her nose. She is lithe yet sturdy, with decent set of hips, which makes her proclivity towards dressing in men's fashion a little difficult.

Abilities

Currently, Sera's abilities are limited to those she has cultivated through her academic endeavors. Latent magical abilities have awoken in her recently, and they may act as both a bonus and boon in later RPs.
