Seris' Story

Seris was once a mortal sorcerer who sought forbidden knowledge, delving into the secrets of life, death, and undeath. Her experiments with planar magic led her to accidentally trespass into the Shadowfell, angering the Raven Queen. As punishment, the goddess stripped Seris of her mortality, transforming her into a Shadar-Kai and binding her to eternal servitude.However, Seris's rebellious nature allowed her to disrupt the curse and flee the Shadowfell. Yet, a dark fragment of the plane clings to her soul, haunting her with whispers of despair and shadowy thoughts she cannot escape because Raven Queen decided it’s no fun to just kill Seris for her disobedience.So, in truth, she never managed to escape the Raven Queen—it’s impossible. Seris lives only as long as the Queen allows it, and at any moment, she could crush the defiant one or drag her back into the Shadowfell.

Habits and quirks:
- Seris carries a Shadowfell coin and flips it to make decisions—both serious and random.
- Instead of fully resting, Seris uses a trance, always staying half-aware of her surroundings. It leaves her constantly exhausted
- Seris deliberately throws herself into danger, either to feel something or to finally die.
- Any casual or affectionate touch puts Seris on edge. If someone grabs her unexpectedly, they’ll likely lose a finger.
- When Seris starts to care about someone, she becomes meaner, picking fights, snapping at them, or acting recklessly to make them give up on her before she gets too attached.Likes: chaos, the thrill of near-death experiences, solitude, silent companionship, enchanted trinkets, bitter drinks, the brief moment before a spell unleashes, freedom, independence, wild magic
