Generally respectful to those in higher authority, she'll do what she's told with little if any questions at all but does have a small streak of rebellion to her. With most everyday things she has a will to accomplish anything that would currently be on her plate even if it is something she refuses to want to do. Rena has a strong sense of honor and would fight to the death to defend what she thinks is right and tends to go in over her head because of it. But the strong act belies a maternal nature that would comfort and nurture those that need it most. Even so, she has a strong unforgiving side to those that she thinks have done her or her family wrong within the past or present though she would not go out of her way to terrorize them. Because of certain evens within her past she is a pacifist, refusing to hurt or kill anything physically. This vow of dovish ways tends to get her all pent up with anger or frustration and she will generally speak curtly or rigidly if one finds her just out of a heated argument. This would also be about the time she would find a way to release all that pent up energy into a constructive activity whether it is working out, pottery making, or even metalworking. These times would generally be the best times to talk to her for she would be out of the hard shell she hides in and in a more natural state of herself as a being. B I O G R A P H Y : Serenara was born out of lust between the god Hephaestus and her mother Akilina Lelukh in the small town of Sochi, Russia. Though her mother had not known she was bedded by a god, she later found out with the birth of her child and even later did she find out exactly which god it was. Needless to say she was astonished and confounded to even know that greek gods existed. Much to her mother's dismay, she could barely make it by with the funds she had and had to work multiple jobs. However, all this changed when she met a man by the name of Victor Brown who was an investor in companies. The man was interested in Akilina and would often take her out to expensive places. No more than a year was she wooed and married by him, not having to work any longer because of her wealthy husband. At the time of marriage, Rena was no more than three years old. Things were not "happily ever after" though as Victor slowly showed his true colors. First it was just yelling at Akilina for mistakes she made which escalated to verbal abuse, suspicion, and jealousy. Akilina was more secluded into the house they lived in with time, only to show herself at wealthy get-togethers where he'd show her off like a prize. By the time Serenara was 5, her mother was being beat almost on a weekly basis; her father mostly being off at conferences or simply just overseas. The house maid would drive Rena to school on the weekdays and on the weekends her mother would take her out to places like the beach or a museum. Around the time Rena was 8, she had come home early one day, racing up the steps of her home. Inside, she had come to see the true nature of her father as he stood over her mother. Akilina was crumbled in a heap, droplets of blood staining her lips and a look distress that her daughter would see her like this. Rena charged at Victor, pummeling him with her tiny fists as she yelled at him with tear stained cheeks. But it did nothing to him. The only thing it made him do was backhand her away and continue to beat her mother until he was finished. When she had come to, she was being held by her mother, still on the very floor where they had both dropped with her father nowhere to be found. Upon asking why her mother wouldn't fight back, her only reply was this: " What kind of person would I be if I did what he does? Sometimes you just have to be better than that." This left an impression on young Serenara and had since then been a pacifist. With the years to come, she had worked up her physical prowess, running track and taking interest in more advanced training in athletics outside of school. Her grades gradually dropped as she started to become more rebellious, oftentimes leaving school early and returning there before the maid came to pick her up. At the age of 14, someone had caught wind of her mother beating and was reported to the authorities. He was taken to court not long after and found guilty of his crimes. On top of that, Akilina filed for divorce. The papers have yet to be completely signed to this day. W E A P O N : Her weapon is a large warhammer named Dyrnwyn, having a handle that is four feet in length and a head with measurements of 27 inch. in length (about nine of those inches belonging to the blade on the back end of the hammer's head), 13 inch. in height and 10 inch. in width. The head, handle and grappling hook are all made out of celestial bronze but not the shaft. The shaft of the hammer is retractable; being able to collapse in any length desired under 4 feet. The end of the spoke is the real handle of the hammer which is hollow to accommodate a grappling hook inside. When the rim of the handle is spun to open the compartment, the hook can be shot out at the desired target. After a certain time or seconds after it hits an object, the hook will spring open. The firing mechanism for the hook is strong enough to shoot through certain woods and the chain thread attaching the hook to the hammer is strong enough to withstand the weight of two people (much like the chain net used by Hephaestus to capture Aphrodite and her lover). The hammer part of the hammer itself has three different applications to it starting off with the back. As stated, the back of the hammer has a blade attached to it that is about 9 inches in length.It has no special qualities to it other than it has three sharp edges to it. the other end of the hammer is much more elaborate however for it has a second head to it which can flip out from a compartment and automatically hitches on when pressed against the flat surface of the hammer's end. The hidden latch works both ways for revealing it and putting it away. This hidden head of the weapon is spiked with 9 prisms, making it look much like a meat tenderizer. this end of the weapon is able to withstand high temperatures and can retain its shape despite repeated strikes to it. The final feature this warhammer has to offer is at the center. Two panes of glass conceal a hollowed out center made to harbor fire, acting much like a lantern when used. The compartment is airtight to water yet somehow the fire inside is allowed to breathe. The panes of glass depict two quail feathers and both are able to withstand heavy recoil though the glass is not strong enough to withstand a direct piercing blow from a blade. HOW I GOT MY WEAPON : Around the age of ten, after the discovery of the horrible things her father did to her mother, she was never quite the same. Some would say she was even spiteful for no reason. But her mother would still take her on trips outside the house. On this one occasion, they were both out in the mountains, high up from everyone and more or less secluded from every day life. They would fish and cook and do the typical outdoorsy things. Around that evening a tight whistling could be heard from the sky, descending at a breakneck speed. None could say where exactly the noise came from, nor what it was from but when it hit the earth, it sent tremors through the soil and into the soles of your shoes. It called to Serenara. More than anything ever had. Night descended upon the little camp after a time and both went to rest. But not long after resting her head on a pillow, curiosity got the better of her and sent her out searching for that mysterious object. It was not long till she did find it, almost lead to it by some unforeseen will. A long shaft was buried within the ground from the impact, making a small crater along with it. Jumping into it, she had pulled the object out from the ground to find that it was a rather large headed hammer. It was so light within her hands that she almost thought it was fake or that she had some kind of super strength. When turning around to sneak back into the tent, she had found her mother not far from where she was, watching with eyes she had never seen before. It was then that she was told the truth about her father and what Rena really was. W E A K N E S S : As mentioned in the "dislikes" she has a debilitating fear of heights. Not in the sense of if she was on top of a mountain and looked abroad or on a skyscraper and happened to look over the edge but more in the sense of if she was on a ski lift or was somehow up in the sky with no purchase. So in basicallity, she has a fear of falling from high heights. At times, she could very well faint from it. Another weakness to be considered is her pacifism. No matter what someone may do to her she will not retaliate in a physically violent way. One would really have to injure her badly or piss her off so much that she forgoes her vow in a bloody rage. S E C R E T S : As much as she would hate to admit it, she's not as tough as the lets on. A very large part of her wants to be seen as beautiful and graceful and would love to wear pretty things. This is something that she has never let out and is even in strong denial about it with herself. She will tend to be subconsciously jealous of people that she considers as such. E X T R A S : When no one is watching and if she happens across a young creature, she will interact with it in a warm and loving manner, showing a more fragile side of herself. Often times, being around an infant animal relieves her of stress and keeps her in a calmer mood. C R U S H : N/A OWNER : Montiqueue Montiqueue · Thu Aug 22, 2013 @ 04:47pm · 0 Comments
