None
Purple (a trait only shared in the Tellmont family line, though she is the only one of her living siblings to possess this trait).
The death of her brother has sent her into a depression that she is several years into recovering from.
Seraphine is typically very mild-mannered and curious, with little impulse control and a wild need to learn. She’s not especially talkative but also wouldn’t classify herself as an introvert; she loves her friends and gets along easily with many people, but doesn’t feel a need to contribute to conversations or attract attention very often.
-Seraphine is greatly intrigued by weaponry and battle, although she is discouraged form studying this by her concerned parents.
-She is an avid collector of many things, ranging form small weapons, to quills, to leaves.
-She enjoys watching jousts and gauntlet fights, and much to the dismay of the her family, will travel all over the kingdom to support her favorite knights (mostly Sasha and Verillian).
-Seraphine has an intellect to challenge the best, and a great capacity for memorization.
-She speaks many languages (she makes a point to be able to speak at least one language from every race), and communication comes as a second nature to her.
-She is skilled on horseback.
She can be combative and extremely self-defensive when intellectually challenged, doesn’t take criticism very warmly. She also has very little sense of commitment, which leads to her after times wandering off or showing little concern for her companion’s interests.
Seraphine actually struggles a lot with motivation; her depression has take a toll on her ability to want to do much of anything. Despite this, she has a small desire to improve herself, since she has seen how happy it makes her friends and family to see her doing well. That is, ultimately, the closest thing she has to motivation currently; she wants to make those around her happy and not make them worry for her anymore.
Seraphine is the youngest of the five Tellmont siblings (Wyndam, Apolline, Mariona, Vash, and Seraphine) and therefore the last in the direct line of succession to the throne. Because of her lack of duty as heiress, she was awarded significantly more freedom than her other siblings in regards to exploring the country and discovering her own passions. She spent a lot of time as a child spying on the knights during their training hours and spent many hours sneaking into the armory to get a closer look at the many weapons they used. She was discovered doing this at 10 years old when a poorly secured battle axe fell on her and badly cutting her arm. She was promptly put under the watchful guidance of various tutors and thrust into more academic pursuits.
One of her tutors, a historian and former knight named Verillian, would secretly allow her to study weaponry, for which she grew a quick fascination. At fourteen she set off with Verillian (who had become somewhat of a father figure to her) on a journey throughout her kingdom and several surrounding areas to study and collect the various local arms and armor existing there.
She came home a year later and was told of her eldest brother, Wyndam's passing from illness and Apolline's instatement as crown-princess. Wracked with guilt of her absence and inability to tell her brother goodbye, Seraphine became somewhat of a recluse, confining herself to the library and her chambers.
It is in this state that she met Sasha, one of the young squires training for the Royal Guard. He made it his personal goal to see Seraphine out of her reclusive state and was awarded the status of Personal Guard to the princess as soon as he was officially knighted at 18 years old.
A year later sees the beginning of the plot.

None, not important to the story
She is dedicated to the crown of Ibrelas (being a member of it) and typically agrees with her father's laws. She would probably align closest to lawful good since she does closely follow the rules and has generally altruistic intentions.
Princess of Ibrelas; in her spare time she helps out in the royal library and has been unofficially promoted to assistant scroll-keeper.
Purple; it is her family and kingdom's royal color.
Her neckerchief; her relationship with it is slightly complicated, though. It was originally part of a dress gifted to her by Wyndam Tellmont and she keeps it with her as a constant reminder of him, but it also serves as a sort of self-punishment because of the guilt she feels for his death.
Knives; knives and daggers were the only types of weapons that Seraphine's parents allowed her to own, much to her chagrin as a young teenager, but that makes them the weapon she is the most comfortable using in most situations.
