{{Tab}}A white teenage girl with | {{Tab}}A white teenage girl with long hair often elaborately braided and currently dyed black with red undertones that make her light skin look paler and her vivid green eyes almost luminous. She is conventionally attractive in a generic sort of way that lends itself well to shaping with attire and comportment, and she has been working on expanding her repertoire beyond her "tomboy next door" default. At 5'7", she's quite athletic, but slender in a way that belies her strength and makes it oddly difficult to estimate her age. | ||

{{Tab}} | {{Tab}}Warm, friendly, and engaging, Sera is generally pretty well-liked in school and out, but it's not easy to get to know her ''well''. She's the youngest of five siblings and reasonably good at leveraging their disparate skills and connections without coming off like a complete brat. It is common knowledge around Xavier's and its wider penumbra in local mutant circles that she's an interdimensional transplant and that her counterpart from this dimension died several years before she arrived. She isn't secretive about her origins, and though she is unlikely to volunteer it without context it is common enough gossip that probably anyone who's been around for a while and asked about her will hear ''some'' version of it. | ||
{{Tab}}She's a good student and rarely gets into trouble herself, but can be relied upon to keep her mouth shut about illicit shenanigans and to bring good booze if invited. She is a dedicated athlete and an attentive teammate, the star center of Xavier's hockey team (although she is capable of holding down any position in a pinch), a versatile forward on the soccer team, and small forward or occasional point guard in basketball. Less widely known is her skill at chess -- she is one of the strongest players in the student body and shockingly gracious about it. She has many interests and odds are pretty good she has one in common with any given person, but if not she is very quick to pick up hobbies with even very casual friends. | |||
{{Tab}}Her power is not ''exactly'' empathy, but most of her schoolmates and teachers probably think of it that way. When she had less control, it often imposed her emotional and physiological states onto others around her -- and vice versa -- in disruptive ways. Her control has improved over time and she rarely has ''disruptive'' spills, but her moods are still infectious, and she takes pains to ensure it's usually ''pleasant'' to be around her. | |||

{{Tab}} | {{Tab}}She's from a parallel universe where things went very differently in some ways and turned out very similarly in others. The Sera from ''this'' universe died in 2017, but nature detests a missing Tessier and opened up a rift to send a new one. It's been a bit of an adjustment. | ||

{{Tab}}Sera | {{Tab}}Sera has a form of sympathetic biokinesis that instinctively tries to align her own neurochemistry with everyone around her, and theirs in turn with hers in a kind of constantly shifting gestalt. Her power innately tends to focus on those with whom she's interacting, so while she can restrict her range down to skin contact or expand it out to about 50ft in ever direction, it is easiest and most intuitive to just affect those who are in the room with her. She can consciously control her own biochemistry and impose that control on others, and while it's easiest to do so evenly across everyone within range, she has learned to selectively magnify or diminish the amount and direction of biokinetic feedback with a reasonable level of precision so long as she is able to concentrate. | ||
{{Tab}} | {{Tab}}Though she is capable of exerting a great deal of control over a wide range of what her power does, maintaining complex and counterintuitive effects is exhausting. Unfortunately, letting her power do what it wants to do uncontrolled is ''also'' exhausting, not to mention potentially dangerous. Overtaxing herself trying to control leads to progressively worse irritability, headaches, and eventually seizures and loss of consciousness. Her daily life is a complex series of interlocking biokinetic balancing acts wherein she must decide from minute to minute how much to choreograph with whom, what to share or hide, and when to just go with the flow. | ||
{{Tab}} | {{Tab}}Others in her orbit tend to identify her power as some form of empathic influence, since emotional spillover (in either direction) is usually its most noticeable effect. Sera's moods tend to be infectious, and she is highly susceptible to ''other'' people's moods, but she rarely lets slip the extent and intricacy of the control she ''can'' exert. Her power does in fact affect other neurochemical phenomena, not just emotions, and that is a very deep rabbit hole. If she is in physical pain and does not carefully manage it, everyone around her will also feel at least some echo of that pain. However, she is capable of tuning her own pain response, and can selectively magnify that influence to ease someone ''else's'' pain. Her ability to affect concentration, alertness, and so on can also make her an ''excellent'' study buddy. Or a terrible one. | ||

{{Tab}}Sera is enthusiastic about learning | {{Tab}}Sera is enthusiastic about learning, and while she is not necessarily great on follow-through, she's has always had the indulgent support of a well-off family in pursuing her whims. As such she has accumulated basic familiarity with a wide range of arts, crafts, and hobbies but relatively little proficiency with most of them. However, she's a very quick study and even better at appearing to be more skilled or knowledgeable than she really is. She is good at telling stories, and not just in the sense of lying, which she also does quite eloquently. | ||
