Sera hated arguing, it seemed like a waste of time to her. Bellamy seemed surprised that she had agreed to listen so easily. She didn't know why, but everyone seemed to hate arguing as well, exceptions could be made for the one's that actually had a major reason to argue, like in a debate. Serafina had known that a few people had taken their bracelets off, the people on the Ark who were watching probably thought it was just a fluke, or that they'd been killed by something. But the truth was, about a third of the delinquents didn't want the Ark to come down after them, Sera included.
"No not really. For a full farmer, it'd probably be equal to walking through Hell. But since I was still in training, my skills were still new to me, so this is good practice. The plants are all different, only half have good effects, such as energy boosts. The other half's effects are still unknown." Sera smiled a bit, she was partially happy that Bellamy would get the damn bracelet off of her, the other half that the farmers on the Ark would never get to learn any of the plants, of course, if they thought that everyone was dead.
"Okay." Sera obeyed, and did what Bellamy told her to do. She sat on her knees, rolled up her sleeve, and put her arm out. "Is it going to hurt?" She looked at Bellamy, she had hated pain all her life. Probably because half of it was mental, pain from her parents mistakes, pain from being sent to a family that was so stupid. Now that she was on the ground, she probably should build up a physical pain tolerance. Things that seemed easy here, could end badly, and Sera sure as hell wasn't going to be caught crying.

Sera didn't not listen most of the time, it was just that she trusted what she saw more than what she heard. She knew the message, but at the same time it felt like people were trying to control them, not just Bellamy. There had to be rules, without rules chaos would be a common sight with the 100, even if it already wasn't. "Okay, sure. I'll listen more." Sera wasn't going to try and argue, she had that much sense. Bellamy wasn't supposed to be here, and whatever he did to get down here was probably bad enough.
Freedom. It was something she'd never experienced, but she had dreamed of it multiple times. Being able to do whatever she wanted, not having anyone taken away for saying the wrong thing. It seemed like freedom was good, but if it wasn't, then what? "I've been trying to get it off, but I need both of my hands to get it off, so I haven't been able to." Sera pulled at her bracelet, it wasn't very comfortable to wear, it had hurt much more when they put it on, though. Serafina hadn't really paid attention much in Earth skills, or any class for that matter. She'd just spent a lot of time around farmers, so she'd learned how to manage plants and tell if something could be eaten. "No, I never really paid much attention in that class. I was supposed to be a farmer when I was older, so I learned a lot from my apprenticeship." She had hated that apprenticeship, it was so boring since the person who was training her seemed like he was one hundred years old. Sera knew there were a lot of other people who'd had interests in plants, but she never approached them, mostly because she didn't really enjoy social activities.
Bellamy took her hand and shook it, as if it was instinct. Maybe it was, hell half the people here had instincts that scared Serafina slightly. Bellamy wasn't one of those people, but a few others were. "Are you ready to be truly free?" Sure she was, but a part of her still wanted to be in the Ark, with both her parents not dead. She'd had so many memories on the Ark, but half of them were like she was walking through hell all over again. "Sure, get this damn thing off me." Now Sera was ready to be free.

Personality Type: INTJ-A "The Architect"
Discussion: Less than two percent of the population in the world are INTJ's, with women only being in 0.8% of that amount. People with the INTJ personality type are imaginative yet decisive, ambitious yet private, amazingly curious, but they do not squander their energy. INTJs are often given the title of “bookworm” as children. While this may be intended as an insult by their peers, they more than likely identify with it and are even proud of it, greatly enjoying their broad and deep body of knowledge. INTJs radiate self-confidence and an aura of mystery, and their insightful observations, original ideas and formidable logic enable them to push change through with sheer willpower and force of personality.
Strengths: ~Quick, Imaginative and Strategic Mind ~High Self-Confidence ~Independent and Decisive ~Hard-working and determined ~Open-minded ~Jacks-of-all-Trades Weaknesses: ~Arrogant ~Judgmental ~Overly analytical ~Loathe highly structured environments ~Clueless in romance
Personality: Most INTJ's distrust their emotions, and don't rely heavily on what they feel. They will often push them away, and will rely on thought actions more than emotional. There is never a truth that is too large to be discovered, or too many obstacles in the way, INTJ's will jump the hurdles to reach their goal, and are determined and stubborn, helping them reach their goals. More mature and assertive, INTJ's find more useful ways to do things with their emotions. Most INTJ's ask analytical questions to overcome depression, sadness, and other emotional issues, such as asking themselves the question "This is sad. Why and how can I fix it?".
Romance is something difficult for INTJ's to grasp, they see it as pointless and a waste of time. Politeness is often viewed as distrustful, and to INTJ's it shows that someone could be hiding something. INTJ's have no room for romance, or at least they think they do. INTJ's are rule followers, and with no rule in love, they are lost.
Planners, always having a plan and sticking to it is something that is a must for INTJ's. They almost never get distracted, and always stick on the path they planned. They draw out conclusions after thoughtful thinking, and are often lost in their thoughts when alone or in nature. As INTJ's progress in plans, their actions become harder to succeed, to test how well they've really done on their plan. Failing is not a bad thing to INTJ's , instead it is something that lets them know that they need to improve on.
I overall think that this fits Sera very well, she is always planning how to survive and make life better, though she often makes mistakes, she knows there is always room for improval. She never lets emotions get in the way of her plan, her analytical thinking keeps her on the right path, and she knows what is best for herself. Even though she is lost when it comes to social interaction and romance, she knows where and when to do what, as if life was a simple game of chess.
I also think that we relate to our characters in ways we've never seen before, most of the things that are Serafina's traits are also my own too!

Sera hardly flinched at Bellamy's insult. She was used to it, she had become used to hearing the guards from the Skybox saying how much a waste of air all the delinquents were. Maybe it was true, but at least now they were sent here to die. "I'm not being an idiot. I just learn things from watching others, and all I pick up about you is that you came down here to protect your sister, and the fact that you act like everyone should do what you want." Serafina's voice got quieter at the end comment, after all, wasn't Bellamy the one who had said "Whatever the hell we want."? And by doing what he said, wasn't doing whatever the hell that we want.
"It won't get me killed if I learn not to get killed." Serafina stood a little taller, she had learned to listen when she was out, listen for anything, and movement, or any snap of a twig. "Of course, everyone should play dead every now and then." Serafina's wrist twitched, a small sign that if they took off their bracelets they would be dead to the Ark. "Oh, and the trees are a good place to sleep, because you see everything, hear everyone." She stared him hard in the eye. She wouldn't let him know that she was going to do anything he wanted, because she wouldn't.
"Testing the effects of certain plants. All recorded in here." Sera pulled out her journal from her bag, she'd been writing in it for awhile now. It had all sorts of information and ideas, some about Earth, and some just ideas that would be useful. "I have to test the effects on animals, unfortunately. Like rabbits and deer, things like that." Serafina wasn't happy that she had to test effects on animals, but she certainly wasn't going to do it on humans. "Radiation has changed almost every animal and plant. There are many new things that we won't ever know the effects of unless we do tests. That was of course, the reason why I was doing it." Sera held the journal close to her, she wasn't going to let anybody see it without a fair deal first.
"Well I thought it might help. But that's good to know, at least I know now that you're strongly protective of your sister, aren't you. She's nice, Octavia is. She's smart too, if anyone would be able to survive it's be her." Serafina decided to not mention anything else about Bellamy's sister. "Oh, and by the way, name's Serafina. But just call me Sera if you'd like." Sera stuck her hand out for Bellamy to shake, and it was something Sera hadn't done for awhile. It was a sign of respect, she'd learned that at an early age. Her parents had taught her well, but she wasn't sure if they could've taught her anything to prepare her for the journey on Earth.

Sera's thoughts were interrupted by another person, she knew him because he was always playing the leadership role, mostly because people listened to him. He may be annoying in ways, but he was the only person besides Clarke who'd actually stepped up. And for that reason exactly, Sera respected him in the slightest of ways. Clarke had run off somewhere, stating that she needed to get food. By the way Clarke stood, Sera could tell that she was determined not to get everyone else killed. "You got a tent?" Sera looked up at him. "No, I've been sleeping in the trees. Let them give the tent to someone else, I don't need it. Nor do I want a tent mate, then they would know that I usually just wait until dark before lea-" Sera stopped for a second, she wasn't going to tell some stranger what she'd been up to. It was partially the reason she'd been using the trees, to escape into the forest and study the plants.
It wasn't bad that she was studying plants, just that she'd not been doing anything productive besides that. She hadn't even gained that much knowledge of the plants, her research was limited to what she knew, and what she had learned in the few years of school she'd passed. "Before I continue my tests." She wasn't only studying plants, she was also trying to get the bracelet off. For some reason she couldn't get it off herself, she would need both her hands to get it off, which was impossible since her other hand had the bracelet on it. She looked up at him, he was tall, he was actually kinda cute, but then again, what would she know, she'd been alone all her life.
"Listen, I know that you came because of your sister and all, but don't constantly follow her around or protect her. I met her a few times in the Skybox, she just wants to be free. That means from you as well." Serafina's eyes searched his face, looking for any emotion that would lead her to conclude anything else about him. He was someone to watch, so by talking face to face she could learn even more about him.

Sera was glad to be on the ground, to be free. There were no rules, something she didn't completely agree with, but it sure as hell made life easier. The only problem was, the bracelets everyone wore, they would tell the people on the Ark if they were still alive. If the other delinquents were still alive, Sera didn't doubt that the Ark would soon follow. Then there would be rules, then there would be punishments, and then there would be the locked cells, that rule breakers would be locked in. The Ark was an enemy, more like the Chancellor was, but it was all the same to Sera.
She had to find a way to get the bracelet off, so it would look like she was dying, or even dead, whichever. If enough people took off their bracelets, then the Ark would think they were dead, and wouldn't follow. Some of the delinquents would most likely follow the rules brought by the Ark, most of them probably wouldn't. And Sera knew that if she didn't follow the rules, she would be punished. She wouldn't let the Ark control her, not again, not ever. "I need to find a way." She was now thinking of a plan, she'd seen others try and take their bracelets off. They didn't get them off, none of them had the strength. They would need some other way to get them off, but only if they knew how.

| ~ • ~ | Character Basics | ~ • ~ |
.:Name:. Serafina Smith .:Nick Name:. Sera .:Affiliation:. Arker .:Age:. 17
| ~ • ~ | Appearance | ~ • ~ |
.:Physical Appearance:. Serafina is an average size. She has caramel-brown hair, which she has let grow to be very long, and light brown eyes. She is often told that she should cut her hair, to keep it out of the way, but she always refused. She is quite lean, only weighing about one hundred pounds, but where she lacks in strength, she can make up in speed. Serafina relies quite heavily on her sight, her vision is key to her survival. She has sharp eyes, always watching everyone, seeing that they don't mess anything up, or more importantly, do anything stupid. .:Height:. 5' 5" .:Portrayed by:. Aimee Kelly
| ~ • ~ | Personality | ~ • ~ |
.:Personality:. Serafina was unwanted, her parents never meant to have a child. She was luckily born right after her mother and father got their permits, or else she would've been locked up. Her mother, was the only one in Sera's life that actually loved her in the slightest of ways. Her father, never loved Sera, he would often leave her locked in her room, leaving Sera lonely and sheltered from reality. Sera was always curious as to why her parents never wanted her, they did want a child, just not Sera. Maybe it was because she almost never spoke, and never talked to the other kids her age. Or maybe it was just because her parents were inexperienced to raise a child. Sera was always watching, watching everything her parents did, wondering why people did certain things. She was caught sneaking into the medical ward, because her mother had become ill, and was locked up for what she calls "my own curiosity and family". .:Special Skills:. Watching people, learning why they did things. Sort of like profiling people.
| ~ • ~ | History | ~ • ~ |
.:Birthplace:. Ark, Hydra station .:Family:. Mother, Josie Smith; Father, Joshua Smith .:Occupation:. Delinquint/Farmer-apprentice .:History:. Serafina was born on March 1st, 2132, on the Hydra station. From birth, Sera was ignored by her parents, she wasn't wanted at the time she was born, a mistake in her parents lives. Her mother, Josie, was the one of her parents who remotely loved her in the slightest of ways. She was the one to give Sera her name. Serafina's father was a farmer, and she was expected to follow his path of life, and become a farmer as well. Her mother worked as a type of researcher, and wasn't home very often due to work. Sera was left locked in her room for the beginnings of her life, by her father. He didn't want Sera causing any trouble, not that she would cause any, she always shied away from the other kids her age.
When Sera turned eleven, her father was floated for stealing medicine for her mother, who was very sick and had been in the medical ward for a week. He was floated, and even though he administered the medicine to Sera's mother, the effects were not anything good. Her mother, it turned out, was allergic to the medicine her father had given her, and died two days after Sera lost her father. Sera was left alone.
Sera was taken to another family, one who couldn't have children. They raised Sera for two years, until she was thirteen. When she turned thirteen, every emotion inside of her was let out. She couldn't hold back the fear from her mother dying, or the anger that the medicine her father had been floated for didn't do anything but kill her mother. She was arrested for assaulting her adoptive parents, and spent three years in the Skybox with the other delinquents. Sera was nice to the other delinquents she met, all of whom were older than her for most of the time, and even if they were mean to her, Sera was still nice to them. Sera was fifteen when she began her time in what she called the lonely Skybox, she didn't have anyone with her. She got bored, but luckily, she was given a book. It was an empty book, given to her by someone she didn't know, probably thrown aside by one of the people who were needed on the Ark. But it gave her something to do, something to write in. She had a pen, something she was lucky to have. It was the only thing left from her house, so she wrote. She kept track of the days as they passed. Until when Sera turned seventeen, she was told she would be sent to Earth. It was then and there that she knew she would die. Except when they landed on the ground, and opened the doors, she didn't.
