Serravael was born in Kyonin to a rather renowned family of arcanists. Possessing intellect beyond any in the family, even at a young age, she seemed destined to follow in her parents' footsteps. It was not to be, though. Serra had no patience for magic. It was not that she lacked skill, but rather enthusiasm. Alchemical pursuits were always more interesting to her, and she felt there was much more to be learned from alchemy.

In fact, knowledge tended to be Seera's driving motivation for everything. She always sought to learn. Arcane Theory and Spellcraft were not enough. She taught herself of the world, of nature, of economics, of language, even of mechanics. She went so far there as to learn how to disassemble mechanical devices. Knowledge is its own reward, as far as she is concerned.

Thus she joined the Explorers' Guild. Where better to learn and to gain knowledge. Her insights into a vast array of subject, and her ability with languages drew the attention of those seeking the expedition to the new continent right away.

Serra has a bubbly disposition that can be a bit grating to others, though she means well. Her mind goes 100 miles a minute, and often her mouth tries to keep up. She tries to keep things on a level that laypeople can understand, but is not always successful.

Violence is never her first option, but when push comes to shove, her knowledge of alchemy is devastating in battle. Her Elven archery training applies just as well to her thrown explosives, much to her enemies' dismay. She does not focus on improving the physical via mutagens the way many alchemists do. Instead she is driven by knowledge, and by unlocking her mind's ability to learn even more. Thus she uses Cognatogens, which improve her intellect at the cost of her strength. She does not use poison, either, like most alchemists. She finds it distasteful, and has instead focused even more on her studies.
