A former pokemon center nurse part of the Joy family Seraphina has long since abandoned her so-called calling after an incident that seemed to change her completely. Many of the people around her failed to see the changes until it was too late, and before long she shut off her heart and feelings towards the outside world. The tragic loss of her partner Pokemon led Seraphina to indulge in experimentations and research about immortality, but knowing such things were looked down upon she hid this to the best of her ability. She would eventually take on other Pokemon partners, but none of them could compare to her dear Blissey. Eventually her experiments and her new true nature would come to light resulting in her family disowning her, though Seraphina herself seemed to care little for this development.

Growing tired of the constant interuptions from others Seraphina sought to "disappear" so she could continue her research in peace. Of course she couldn't just disappear anywhere, she needed to go somewhere that had true potential to further her goals. The island of Nozama seemed as good a place as any, and surely such a mysterious location would hold mysterious secrets. Secrets that just might be the breakthrough she's been looking for. It wasn't long upon arriving on the island that she joined Team Fang as their goals didn't interfer with her own. She can't say she holds much "loyalty" to the group itself though. Unless they become useful tools for her to use, anyway.

Personality


On the surface Serphina seems like a well adjusted person, but deep down this is very far from the truth. While meticulous and detailed oriented in everything she does she also displays an exessive need to control every possible variable and treats both people and pokemon as playthings dancing in the palm of her hand. While some would call her brave, not afraid to face danger or get her hands dirty, the truth seems to be that fear itself is a foreign emotion to her. She has an incredible amount of apathy towards her own life and the lives of others, removing any inhibiations she might have towards her actions, and making her a truly terrifying encounter.

Serphina is also fundamentally a selfish person. Her wants, desires, and needs matter more than anyone elses... including her own Pokemon. However it seems that she truly believes that she "knows best" and if anyone disagrees they are wrong, misguided, or just plain stupid. She's self aware enough to hide this fact most of the time, but if anyone dares to critcise her for what she does she won't take it lying down. She does understand the need to be likable and trustworthy, though, so most of the time she presents an outward personality that isn't difficult to get along with... if just a bit standoffish.

Seraphina's Timeline


STORY

Being Nurse Joy

  • As her name suggests Seraphina is part of the "Nurse Joy" family. Just like many in her family she also took up the role of a Nurse Joy and was originally stationed somewhere in Unova. In the beginning there was no indication she ever had any resentment towards her job or her family, and she very well may have even enjoyed being a Pokemon Center nurse. She was kind and always eager to help Pokemon alongside her partner Blissey who she held very dear.
  • As time went on however she began to grow somewhat burnt out by her job. Slowly she became annoyed with the lack of gratitude, of recognition, and of care from the trainers who would come by. There seemed to be an increasing number who not only took the nurses for granted, but their own Pokemon as well. At the height of this internal struggle an unfortunate incident occured that completely changed Seraphina forever; the loss of her Blissey.

Joy No More

  • Seraphina's Blissey was taken due to an illness she couldn't cure. She suspects it was contracted from a trainer or pokemon that came in previously, but could not verify this suspicion. Her family was kind and supportive, understanding the loss she was going through, but this too would change as Seraphina seemed to struggle with moving past it. After a significant amount of time has passed her family suggested trying to find a new partner and getting back into the swing of things. Not being able to bear the thought of replacing her Blissey with another she, instead, chose an Audino.
  • On the surface this seemed to work, but Seraphina's personality slowy began changing. She grew colder and less patient often snapping at people for not taking better care of their pokemon. She struggled to connect with her Audino, and she seemed less enthusastic about helping pokemon. On top of all this she began to develop an obsession with the idea of discovering, or creating, immortality. Her family recognized this and tried to steer her on the right path, but Seraphina saw through it and their attempts only pushed her further into her obsession.
  • Fearing what this might do to their reputation the Joy family disowned Seraphina and removed her connection to the family as much as they could. She was even removed from her position as a nurse... but in the end Seraphina found this to be a boon. Now she was free to do as she wished... and what she wished for as gifting immortality to pokemon. If she could do that, surely she could bring Blissey back.

Habits:

  • Because Seraphina tends to look down on others she almost never gives people her full attention.

Like checking her nails.

Motives


Goals:

  • Find the cure for death/an immortality solution
  • Revive, or clone, her dear Blissey such as she can't tell the difference between them.

Dreams:

  • That one day people will understand her and the actions she took. Perhaps even praise her for successfully conquering death.
  • Illness will one day be eradicated and doctors and nurses will become pointless.
  • She wants things to go back to how everything used to be before the loss of her parnter Pokemon.

Extrinsic Motivation:

  • Proof that she was right and everyone else was wrong to stop her. Who doesn't want to eliminate death?
  • Never having to take care of or fix people with illness and injuries again.
  • Recognition that she did a good thing in the end

Intrinsic Motivation:

  • Eliminating the curse of death means no one will have to suffer because of it... including herself.
  • Knowing she didn't waste her time and life on a pointless pursuit this entire time
  • Relief from grief

Secrets:

  • She's actually quite bitter about being disowned by her family. Her whole mission is to get rid of death and illness... isn't that what a bunch of nurses should want?
  • She longs to raise another Blissey, but doesn't want to simply replace the one she had so refuses to even try.

Fears:

  • The thought she'll never see her Blissey again even if she does succeed in her goal. After all deep down she knows such a kind pokemon would likely despise her actions.
  • The fragility of life/her own inevitable death

» Seraphina absolutely refuses to ever raise another pokemon in the Blissey evolution line every again. Just seeing said pokemon can put her in a very foul mood.

» To be honest she's not much of a gentle person and, despite being a nurse, can be very terrifying to ask for help from. She'll get her job done and heal pokemon but that doesn't mean she does it in... the best way.

» Seraphina will absoutely make the most of the nurse joy reputation. So long as she keeps her affiliations and true goals/wants secret people tend to trust her, and that's the most advantageous position she can be in.

» Symbolism meanings: Raven's symbolize "Death and Destruction". Foxglove symbolizes "Insincierity and Deceit". Black Diamond symbolizes "Power, Mystery, Rebirth".
