Character Name: Serra Guilde
Gender: Female
Orientation: Bisexual, leaning towards Heterosexual
Species/Race: Regalia Crux
Cruxians are a race with a deep history of conflict, stemming from their isolation from and xenophobia of other races. Their sense of superiority developed from the belief of being the crux of being as well as every member of the race being a Magi. They are naturally magically inclined. Cruxians can sprout wings, horns, tails and several other extraneous body features or appendages at will. They cannot, however, change their main body. Sprouting a body part consumes mana. Certain textures or properties consume more mana than others. For example, a hardened scaly tail would cost more than one with fur or just skin. Dissolving the body part returns a small portion of the mana used.
Age: 20
Birthplace: Primalia, Historia Dominion
More: Primalia is the capital of Historia Dominion. Historia Dominion is where most Cruxians reside. There are no residents within Historia Dominion that are not Crux. Non-Cruxian visitors are uncommon and, then, considered guests. They are generally treated well but never accommodated enough to incline them to stay.

General Personality: Serra has an insatiable thirst for training. She enjoys it very much. Most of her free time is spent furthering her own capabilities. She often forgets to make time for friends or family. Despite this, she despises the idea of being alone. She doesn't necessarily have to be with someone she's familiar with to not feel lonely. Serra particularly enjoys having a buddy to exercise with, though she doesn't go out of her way to do it. She dislikes prying into other peoples' personal affairs but doesn't hesitate to ask when she doesn't understand a concept or information.

She thrives on the presence of others without their explicit attention. When it comes to physical activities, Serra is not content unless she performs the best. She's a good sport about it but not without some form of bitterness.
Secret: Serra often contemplates dropping her career ambitions and, instead, getting married.
HISTORIC BACKGROUND
General History: Serra was born into a royal Crux family, thus being Regalia Cruxian rather than just Cruxian. She grew up among many siblings, uncles, aunts and cousins sharing a large residence. During this time, she grows accustomed to being surrounded by people. With all her family, she is never alone for long. Her cousins teach her many skills in her early years. They teach her the social norms of nobles, how to manage her Crux magic and The family members value useful skills, promoting learning and teaching within the family. For the earliest years of her life, she lived among her family in comfort, furthering a desire to be useful. When she came of age, she was sent to a Cruxian military academy. She spends several years at the academy. Several formidable teachers foster her ambition to learn, particularly since she is treated exceptionally due to her societal status.
The military academy's strict routine heavily influences Serra's daily training habits. Little to no magic is taught or used. The school concentrates on physical and mental exercises and little to no time is wasted. As Serra spends time away from her family for the first time, she, at first feels incredibly uncomfortable in her new environment. With time, she acclimates by becoming familiar with the staff, gaining a deep sense of admiration for them. For most of her time, she befriends the academy staff, until they urge her to interact with students of her own age. For the last couple of months of her time at the military academy, Serra takes their advice. It doesn't go well or badly, considering they would separate very soon. To prove her genuine want to form a friendship, Serra exchanges mail with a couple of them still. After graduating and returning home, Serra keeps her habits, working out her body, aspiring to one day be an acclaimed mercenary, like some of her cousins and those of legend. Several of her family members support her and send commendation letters to several schools, among them Red Star Academy.
Present Life: Serra receives the invitation to Red Star Academy through a relative. Of all the offers she receives, she decides it to be most lucrative. In order to further her magical abilities before applying to a Mercenary House, she accepts.
