Introduction

She was created on GaiaOnline.com, starting out as a young character with a pixie grey haircut, a pink scarf, and glasses. 

👈🏼 That’s her, “prototype” debut.

I was always changing her appearance. Over time, her hair grew longer, and I began shaping her into an adult badass character. I removed her glasses, her tail, all of those random Gaia Online accessories I gave her and ended up fully developing her other than the avatar I had. She became an official OC, thus begin my time building her.

Let’s meet her! In her final form:

Meet Seri, she is a winter wolf hybrid (half human/entity spirit). She is NOT a demon like most OC’s I own. She is a spirit entity. She is a manifestation, of love and beauty from the hearts that believe.

She has human ears underneath that thick wavy hair, despite her wolf ears.

Along the way, I decided her appearance and aesthetics would revolve entirely around black and deep pink outfits. The theme often leaned into a biker chick vibe, and the reason for that is because, in the little world I created for her, she's a mercenary for hire who absolutely LOVES motorcycles.

Other themes:

If she is in kimonos, or light pink colors it is her fondness for old favorite aesthetics, such as her dainty lacey side of her. 

Needless to say, she is half rebel biker chic, and then half soft pinks, lace, and everything nice! 

Old art of Seri, in lighter pinks. She loves lace! Soft pinks too.

Backstory:

She worked as a shrine maiden, in an eastern province during the Meiji era. In a stony temple where people worshipped wolves for their bravery, and fearless empowerment. Ultimately, being the faith of "Love and Beauty". Seri, would do tasks such as bookkeeping, tea ceremonies, flower arrangements, and on the side, she would teach defense classes. 

Such bliss and peace, which contradicts her new lifestyle, or path.

Note: She is not Japanese, Seri is fictionally a wolf spirit that traveled to Japan to work at a temple. Before the temple, she was simply a wandering wolf spirit. 

She was one of those people who couldn’t bear being tied to a single place. At dawn, she’d slip away to watch the world awaken, a wholehearted dreamer gazing at the city lights as night began to fall. During one of these little escapes, she stumbled upon an old, abandoned motorcycle by the riverbank. Naturally, she became its secret mechanic—after all, she was used to keeping her temple running smoothly, clean, and efficient. She fixed it in secret, learning under the moonlight, smudging her ceremonial robes by day. And when she finally turned the key, the engine roared to life, unleashing a wild, unapologetic thrill that couldn’t be contained.

🔥Why did Seri become a Merc out of nowhere?

The fight within her was always there, since she was a temple leader-she knew how to fight. She knew sword play, blocking, and kick boxing. She called it her, "Lotus ascension kick". 

She was never soft; she was always fierce. She had much to protect, defend, and honor. But when war came, her temple crumbled into ruins. She realized she couldn’t guard the stone walls alone and felt betrayed by her town, abandoned amidst the gossip of “The witch with the white hair,” a rumor that spread quickly among the townsfolk. Seri had never known such hatred toward those who were different, but she came to embrace it. 

Deep down, she liked the idea of being a blade-for-hire. It all came back to one truth: “I want to protect the good people of this world, so no one will ever feel as I did that day—helpless and alone, with no one at my side.”

She would never kill just ANYONE. She is literally the modern Robin Hood. 

It was a practical living for her: escorting travelers for coin like a mysterious, flirty, and mischievous Cheshire cat. Retrieving stolen goods from strongholds unretractable to the average fighter, protecting small towns from raiders. She wasn't heartless, she was just practical. Being a merc, meant she can make coin to live her wildest dreams that she sacrificed in her former life, and so that she could also stay moving, unbound, in control of her own story.

And there, she traveled all parts of the world, and different dimensions in space or time.

Facts about Seri:

1. Her sexual orientation is sapphic.
2. If Seri had an "ethnic" it would be old English, mixed with Nordic culture. Her wolf entity is from Iceland. And likes to roam around the Arctic Henge in Raufarhöfn. Hence, why when Seri's spirit traveled deeper in the east, she fell in love with the temples in Japan during the Meiji era. She decided to build her own temple there. Note: a fictional made up temple.
3. Seri is a spirit entity. The white wolf is a symbol to her, to always keep fighting.
4. Although she's a wolf, she has golden, cat-like slit eyes. The only time her pupils appear normal like a wolf is when her sclera turns black, marking her full rage mode. 
5. She is a strong, curvy woman—not thin but full-figured. Her toned muscles only enhance her curves, never detracting from them.
6. She has white hair! Pale like the moonlight. (old art I collected will show silver/gray)
7. Her eye shadow color is always a medium violet pink or deep pink. Always.
8. She always has painted nails, (her claws) her real nails. They are stiletto shaped. Always.
9. Weapon of choice: Her fists, powerful kicks. She has a leather lasso/whip (she is so real for that very Sorceress Hunter vibe).

Inspo, creating Seri

1. Based of white "Moka" from Rosario x Vampire (I would not watch that again xD it's too silly).
2. Her ideal voice, is Jesse from Pokemon (dub), english accent.
3. 
   She is often compared to Hanekawa Tsubasa 's cat girl transformation, which was endearing! Because that character reminded me of the duality, of myself vs Seri. When I first made Seri, she was my "aspiration" to be. From, quiet girl, to outspoken. Being all grown up, I think I acquired such an aspiration. 

Into a conclusion, she is still my first beloved OC, and I will roll with her into forever.

Thank you for reading about Seri!
