About

🕊 9:23–9:29 Dragon –
“Daughter of the Faith”Born in Starkhaven, the youngest daughter of House Vael, a noble family tied to the Chantry and closely watched by local politics.Seraphine grew up surrounded by expectation, formality, and silence, a political tool as much as a child.
Her early life was shaped by loss: a sibling’s death and her mother’s long illness left Seraphine both emotionally repressed and deeply observant.Her family had her basically raised by Chantry tutors, etiquette drills, and endless scrutiny. Her father was ambitious, and Seraphine was expected to be useful.🔥 9:30–9:35 Dragon –
“Chosen for the Order”
After being noticed by a visiting Seeker for her uncanny poise and insight at 10 years old.Her father agreed to send her into training… less from pride, more to cement his family’s pious reputation; and after an attempted arranged marriage to an abusive older noble.
When that failed, she trained at a Seeker compound in Kirkwall.She underwent the Rite of Tranquility and its reversal at age 16. Which altered her Fade connection forever.Seraphine showed a talent for subtle interrogation and battlefield adaptability, especially when acting alone.Was mentored by a rigid, devout Seeker, Seeker Dawson who taught her the strength of silence and a watchful eye.🕯 9:36–9:44 Dragon –
“Silent Blade of the Seekers”She became a full Seeker at age 20 (9:36 Dragon).Seraphine was chosen to Serve under Cassandra Pentaghast, assisting in covert operations post-Inquisition.She's known for her efficiency, faith, and emotional control, praised as a model Seeker, but judged for her rare softness in delicate situations.
After witnessing the collapse of the Chantry, Seraphine began to question her faith, but her resolve stayed.🩸 9:45–9:48 Dragon –
“Ashes of the Faithful”She was sent by her order to investigate rumors of a cult worshipping Elgar’nan in Arlathan Forest.Captured by Arcadia, a blood mage... a blood ritual was performed to “reforge” Seraphine.
She escaped during the collapse of the sanctum, though not unscarred.A magical mark was carved beneath her ribs, pulsing faintly with unknown power.
The Seekers listed her as “missing in action.” And she never returned.Seraphine chose self-exile, driven by fear of what she carried… and what Arcadia had awakened, until the mages' death...(?)Seraphine still carries the scars, both physical and emotional of her service, battle, and loss.9:44 Dragon (Age 30 - Present)
"Seeker No More"Seraphine is no longer Seeker in title or standing, but still one in strength and morals.
