Name: Serenia Summerglade

            Age: Like all of her species, she is immune to age, but she appears to be 19.

            Description: Serenia is tall (5'11") and very slender (15 lbs.), with a perfect figure. She wears a forest-green dress that is as translucent as she is. She also wears brown sandals. She has long, flaming red hair and absorbing green eyes. Serenia has nothing in the way of muscle tone or physical strength, though her smile can melt the hardest of hearts.

            Equipment: Serenia has her translucent green dress and she wears a coronet of many different types of beautiful flowers. Serenia carries an hardwood staff with a rainbow-colored gem atop it set in a gold claw-like holder. This represents her connection to the forest. She also wears a brooch with a rose-colored stone. She has always had this brooch, and she knows that it has mysterious powers, but what these are she does not know.

            Abilities: Serenia, like all of her species, has the ability to communicate with flora and fauna, as well as animals, in addition to limited control over plantlife. However, Serenia has had much in the way of free time, so she has developed her abilities in these areas to a level far beyond that of most of her species. Through her extraordinary kindness, Serenia has won the loyalty and friendship of animals and plants. Of course, she can float and pass through objects, as that is an essential part of her nature. She has an incredible rapport with nature. She's good with Air, Water, Earth, and Healing Magics as well.

            Species: Serenia is a Dryad.

            Goals: Serenia wishes to find out about a legend which horrifies her. She heard from a traveling Dryad that not all of the world is like her homeland, the Forest of the Dryads. She cannot believe that the world is not entirely a forest paradise like her life-long home. She wants to see whether or not this is true, and if so, she wants to bring the beauty of the Forest of the Dryads to them, converting the world into a giant forest paradise where everyone will be happy.

            Speech: "Oh...do not worry. I shall spread the healing balms of nature over you and make you all better."

            History: Serenia was born and raised in the Forest of the Dryads, and until recently she had no idea that there was a world outside of the Forest. Serenia is a solitary Dryad, caring for all life, not just plantlife. Through her dedication to her life's work: the protection and growth of all life and nature, Serenia has made many friends among the Qini as well as winning the loyalty of animals and plants. Serenia is literally the daughter of Nature herself, and she (without knowing it) is the sister of Selena.

            Personality: Serenia is incredibly naive, but she is also incredibly gentle. She has never experienced any negative emotion whatsoever towards anyone and she is totally dedicated to the protection and nurturing of life and nature. She loves nature and life with a passion that is so intense that even many of her fellow Dryads think her fanatical and avoid her. Serenia is not the type to take advantage of anyone, and she will always protect someone in need. However, should someone attack nature, she will defend it with a surprising fury and force. Then she becomes quite dangerous, even deadly. Serenia is very hypersensitve to emotion, and the slightest hint of hostility can make her cry for minutes to hours at a time. She is completely loyal to those that she cares for.
