BACKSTORY:
The child of Aellana Senatoor (later Coralin Caedit) and John de Beaumont. when Serella was but an infant, Aellana had resigned from her duties as mayor of Queen's Port, vanishing somewhere up north, and bringing two children with her.
It was in this place that Serella lived the first four years of her life, in a warm fort in the midst of the freezing cold emptiness.
She was fearless and adventurous, never content to sit still, always wanting to try something new. The fortress, rather than being a prison, was her only home. She loved the snow, she loved the warmth of the fire, and she quickly learned the value of caution. She also learned the importance of people in one’s life. She hated being alone.
At this time, her mother and her father had grown estranged, though Serella herself had never known of this. She never saw her father. She didn’t know she had one.
When she met Anastasia Lavoyard, she did not know the child was supposedly kidnapped. All she knew was that this child was from the outside world, and Serella wanted to be her friend.
Because of her mother’s actions, Serella was disowned by the Beaumont, a family she had not even known of.
She did not know why, one day in the early morning, her mother said they had to leave. she did not know what the phrase “we are not welcome here” meant. All she knew was that suddenly, she was leaving, and her mother was angry.
When she saw Golden Bay, however, her confusion quickly vanished, replaced by a great sense of wonder. To her, the world had suddenly become colorful and full of life, full of things to explore.
It was overwhelming. It was also strange, going from the lavishly decorated fortress, to the sparse and Spartan home they now lived in. but she took it in stride, because as she saw it, the colors had just moved outside. She would soon take to wandering her new home, touching everything around her, experiencing the world. now she rarely felt alone.
one day, her brother wanted to make a bow. she was happy, as this was the one thing she could see bringing them together. they worked hard to make it, but...
she made one dear mistake, and with that, snapped the bow into pieces. this distressed her, but it only one of many times she had made a careless mistake.
she always felt pathetic, for always making these mistakes. she always thought mother loved Loup more. rather than be jealous about this, however, she figured she deserved it.
one day, they travelled to Azerport, when they were beset by bandits.
her mother had made Serella's horse run away, then died to save her. Serella did not know of her mother's death at the time, and she struggled greatly to regain control of the horse, and when she did, she became lost in the fields.
by the time she returned to where she figured her mother had to be, her brother had already brought others to the site, and her mother was long dead.
she abandoned her long-held fantasies, when she called to the sea in the hopes that her "real father," the fish, would come.
he did not.
instead, she was led away by apathetic strangers, to her mother's funeral.
none wept for Serella's mother, but Serella herself. even Loup was silent. she looked to Elias, the man with the shining crown who led the great procession, and she asked him questions,
so many questions she had been dying to know.
she asked for her father, and met him for the first time. he came as a drunk, rejected her as his child, even as a person. Elias' words to her after that, she held close:
she walked back to her home, and found it empty. found herself... strangely empty.
now she saw
the paths open before her.
the colors that could be,
if she opened her eyes.
CONTINUED:
Serella had seen many paths, and many colors, yet could never commit to any.
she lived in Valle de Mai for a time, momentarily forgetting her mother's distrust of House Lavoyard, and the followers of Ignis, forgetting for a moment the scorn she'd received at the hands of Beaumont. she was raised by the family Artorius, by soldiers, though that fact never truly registered in her mind. to her, the training their children received was normal. she was loved by them, and in turn loved her new family.
Loup, her brother, had drifted away from her emotionally, the death of their mother ringing particularly strong in his heart. while Serri had desired to move on, desired happiness, Loup wanted revenge for those who had killed his mother and branded his hand.
one day, he left for good, exiled from Valle de Mai, but Serella was so comfortable in her own home that she hadn't bothered to ask or search for him. she simply assumed that this year or the next, he would return. not to say she never missed him, of course, but what's the point of searching for someone who didn't want to be found?
She eventually forgot about him, wrapped up in her own worries, as the Lavoyard's rebellion ousted her from her home. having learned that Peter Hallon, one of the rebels, had usurped the throne of Caedit, Serella had, in her anger, gone to Peter's home and stolen everything she could carry, breaking his bed and his shrine to Ignis.
