❝ None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. ❞
I am Seraphina Ileana Jacinth van Guardia (I know, it is a mouthful, and I apologize.)
But I demand that you call me Princess Seraphina, Your Highness, Milady... Or you could call me just Sera, if you like.
I'm not that old, I am One-Hundred and Eleven (Which is the age that a fae is considered to be "of age".); I look to be in my late teens/early twenties.
Are you blind? I'm obviously Fae Princess
Here's an easy one, I'm Straight
You really want to know that? Fine, I was born February 14th (Valentine's Day)

Do the measurements, I'm 5'2"
I don't look it, I know, but I'm 120 lbs
I suppose I have to say every last detail, my hair is black.
Look closer, my eyes are a light royal blue.
Of course you can't see them, I hide them. I have a brand of my house symbol on my chest, located right under my collarbone in the center. All noble fae woman have one, since it symbolizes what house we are from. We often hide them under large medallions or pendants.

I want a slave with any material will be fine by me... My father probably wouldn't want me to have someone with a chain, but... well, I'm feeling a little rebellious, so I am just going to go with whatever catches my attention.
Painted any color. Again, my father would probably not want me to have someone with certain colors... Like Black... or Teal... and he probably wouldn't want me to be around anyone with Pink. It is my choice in the end, though. Not that those are want I want, per se... but I won't turn them down because of it. I'm pretty open-minded.
And a few other things, like a Sword and Shield would be required. I am open to anything else, though. Heart might be nice?

People say I tend to be a little bit of a rebel. I say I'm just independent. I can't help it that I'm tired of being told what I can or can't do. I would give anything to just be free to do whatever I wish. It's not that easy, though. In court, I have learned to hide my emotions; if I were to show interest in a male, it would spread like wildfire, and the courtiers would have me engaged and pregnant before nightfall. It's... not a situation one wants to find oneself in. It can be a rather lonely existence sometimes...
Outside of court, I can be rather energetic, perhaps even a bit eccentric... I'm always a bit eager to learn or do new things; I hate being bored. Unfortunately, that seems to be a common occurrence. I also have a little bit of a temper, and can be a little impatient at times... I try not to take it out on others, but I sometimes just snap. I can be a bit sensitive and cautious when it comes to trust; I've been burned a few times too many. I don't take betrayal very well... I don't like feeling vulnerable.
You're so nosy. Fine, I will tell you that I am the only child to the king of the fae kingdom, Guardia. I guess that kind of makes me the crown princess, if you want to think of it that way. My mother died when I was born, due to complications; not only is it quite difficult for fae women to conceive, it can be quite dangerous as well. I only knew her for a few brief moments before she died. I have been told that I look just like her, so I guess if I really want to see her, I can just look in the mirror... It just isn't the same as having a mother, though.
Anyway, because my mother died after giving birth to me, my father basically ignored my existence... That is, until I was kidnapped as a child by a rival kingdom. There was a big public outcry about that, and I guess even he couldn't ignore it. I honestly don't remember that time, since I was so young; all I know is that I was returned in the end. All's well that ends well, right? Wrong!
After that day, my father became... overprotective, I guess you would say. Almost stifling, in fact. I guess he didn't want a repeat of what had happened. Needless to say, I wasn't allowed outside of the palace unless I was surrounded by guards... I wasn't allowed to have any fun, and I wasn't really able to make any friends... I vaguely remember having a friend when I was a child, but... I guess they went away. I've had "friends", but they aren't "true friends"... Not the kind of friends that you want to tell your secrets to. Believe me, I learned that the hard way. Nothing quite like telling someone something and then having it spread around the court in a day. It... makes it hard to tell who you can trust.
Anyway, when I got old enough, I was given tutors to teach me all the "important" things to being a "proper lady" of the court... Things like... embroidery and other similarly boring pastimes. The only things I actually enjoyed doing were reading, math, history, etc... Things that I could learn things from. And my father went back to ignoring my existence, outside of preventing me from doing anything actually fun. Years went by, until I reached the age in which all fae are considered "adults". I had hoped that things would change after that, but then another attempt was made to kidnap me...
It failed, of course, and was probably the most excitement I had seen in years... But my father was furious. Apparently, he felt security had grown lax over the years... So he decided I should have a full-time bodyguard, someone who will stick to my side like a tick or some other similarly blood-sucking parasite. Thankfully, he has allowed me to be the one to choose who that person will be, so that is why I have come to this place (under heavy guard, of course). I am hoping to at least find someone who I can stand to be around...
Quit bothering me, I'll say that I like:
ღ My pet miniature dragon, Paz
ღ Doing something new
ღ Having fun
ღ Sweets
ღ Being outside (which is usually limited to the palace gardens)
I'll tell you that I don't like:
✘ Dull or boring situations
✘ Being lonely
✘ Broken promises and/or being betrayed
✘ Being constrained or limited on what I can do
✘ Feeling vulnerable

A few last things so you don't ask any more questions, I can embroider, knit or crochet, sew, and several other "lady-like" things that I find all incredibly boring to do. I also know how to sing, dance (which I actually find kind of enjoyable), and play several instruments (not so enjoyable to me). I can also read and speak in several languages, both fae and human. As for any other power I might have, I can do magic like any other fae... Mostly little things, like changing the color or style of my clothes to match my mood, or summoning items from across the room to my hand if I'm feeling a little bit lazy. I am still considered young for my kind, so I haven't yet reached my full potential; that will slowly come to me in time. I can teleport myself to a different location; the limit on that, though, is that I have to be familiar with where I'm teleporting to. It wouldn't do to end up stuck in a wall, after all. That could be part of the reason I haven't tried teleporting outside of the palace walls, even though it has been tempting... Besides, I don't want to do that sort of thing all by myself.
Yes, there is some side things, like iron actually isn't deadly to the fae... Well, it affects us, making us weaker and kind of vulnerable, and a wound received from something made of iron will take a lot longer to heal... but the simple touch of something iron won't kill us.
