{{Tab}}Seraphine is the youngest of five children -- Matthieu, Lucien, Desirée, Gaétan being the others -- born to Elie Tessier in a reality very much -- but not ''quite!'' -- like this one.

Both her parents were steadfast and dedicated, and her two eldest brothers, though no longer at home, stayed deeply involved with their lives. Sera was unquestionably spoiled, but managed to come out of it without an obvious sense of entitlement to the doting she received. As she grew, she struggled with an unsettling distant sense that much of her family had a ruthless streak that she did not share. | ||
{{Tab}}Outside the rosy bubble of the life her family lovingly constructed around her, though, their world was falling into turmoil. The escalating public antipathy and attendant government policies against mutants, in particular, threatened the Tessiers. Sera's mother and all of her siblings are mutants, but between the ease of hiding most their mutations and the ''temporal'' power which her brothers Matthieu and Lucien had steadily amassed over the years, the family remained, for the time being, relatively safe. | {{Tab}}Outside the rosy bubble of the life her family lovingly constructed around her, though, their world was falling into turmoil.

{{Tab}}They -- mostly Lucien -- used their position of relative stability and privilege to provide clandestine assistance to the underground mutant resistance movement. One of Sera's closest friends, Spencer Holland, became a resistance fighter himself despite his young age, and remained in regular contact with her even beyond the assistance he received from her family. Things were tense for a time, but still not too bad for the Tessiers themselves. | {{Tab}}They -- mostly Lucien -- used their position of relative stability and privilege to provide clandestine assistance to the underground mutant resistance movement.

Given the family's genetic tendencies it did not come as that much of a surprise, but its sheer sweeping power and difficulty to conceal caught the Tessiers off-guard. They pulled her out of school so that she would not give herself away in a moment of excitement or distress. Between her older siblings' respective powers and experience managing the same, they started teaching to control her own. She had just begun to harbor hope that she might be able to return to something like her normal life again, such as it is. | ||
{{Tab}}In December of 2020, however, the appearance of an interdimensional rift and subsequently interdimensional travelers threw the Tessiers' lives into chaos once again. One night, overhearing a conversation between her brothers and hoping to be of use, Sera passed some information to Spencer upon his next visit and set him on the path to rescuing a group of dimensionally displaced children. Little did she know, the straits they were in had been the result of her brothers' machinations to begin with, and Lucien had struck a deal with his counter part -- and Matthieu's -- on the other side of the rift: if he returned ''their'' Gaétan to them safely, they would take in ''his'' Sera. | {{Tab}}In December of 2020, however, the appearance of an interdimensional rift and subsequently interdimensional travelers threw the Tessiers' lives into chaos once again.

Once this plan was in motion, Lucien persuaded Sera that there were forces moving on their family which would target her and, in turn, put them all in danger. Though terrified and anguished at the prospect of leaving her family and her entire world behind, she agreed to it in hopes of helping to keep her loved ones safe. She packed in secret and left with Spencer without so much as a goodbye to any other member of her family. Meeting the interdimensional counterparts of her siblings has been painful and jarring and her powers have not helped her transition in the least, but Sera is determined to take her new life by the horns and find -- or make -- some joy for herself and everyone in it. | {{Tab}}Once this plan was in motion, Lucien persuaded Sera that there were forces moving on their family which would target her and, in turn, put them all in danger.
