โThe Lake Party Nobody Wants to Endโ
Sera and her friends have escaped the town for a fall-night party at a secluded camp beside the lake outside Blackridge. Music blasts from portable speakers, cars line the campsite, and teenagers gather around the fire, taking pictures and laughing late into the night. Sera is completely caught up in the fun, dancing, joking with her friends, and snapping blurry digital-camera photos of the night.
Full Name: Seraphina Elise Vale Nickname: Sera Age: 18 years old Birthday: October 7 Gender: Female Orientation: Bisexual Grade: Senior Hometown: Blackridge, Tennessee Era: Mid-to-late 2000s School: Blackridge High School MySpace: myspace.com/seraphinavale Full Appearance: Sera has a warm caramel-brown complexion with subtle golden undertones and a naturally smooth, healthy-looking appearance. Her face has a softly angular shape with defined cheekbones, a gently tapered jawline, and a rounded chin, giving her features a balanced, feminine appearance. She has large, relaxed brown eyes framed by dark lashes, naturally shaped eyebrows, a straight, proportionate nose, and full, glossy lips that frequently settle into a subtle smirk. Her expression tends to look calm and slightly unimpressed, even when she's genuinely interested in something. Her hair is long, thick, and dark brown, falling well past her shoulders in loose, slightly messy layers. Several honey-blonde streaks are woven throughout the underneath sections of her hair, becoming more visible when the layers shift. She usually wears it loose, occasionally pulling sections back with small clips or leaving sunglasses resting on top of her head. Her ears feature small gauges and several simple earrings, while layered necklaces, bracelets, rings, and other understated jewelry complete her look. Her overall style is distinctly mid-2000s alternative, mixing cropped jackets, fitted dark tops, low-rise jeans or cargo pants, wide belts, chains, and chunky boots or shoes. She carries herself with a relaxed confidence, usually standing with one shoulder slightly lowered or leaning casually against a car, giving her an effortlessly cool presence. Personality: Sera is confident, independent, observant, sarcastic, curious, and laid-back. She doesn't need to be the loudest person in a room to command attention and is perfectly comfortable sitting back and observing everyone around her. She has a dry sense of humor and loves teasing her friends. Her curiosity often gets her involved in Blackridge's strange rumors and unexplained stories, and she's remarkably good at noticing details other people overlook. She doesn't trust people immediately, but once someone earns her loyalty, she's protective and dependable. Life in Blackridge: Sera is a recognizable face at Blackridge High School, where she gets along with people from different social circles rather than belonging to one particular clique. After school, she's often around the parking lot with friends, listening to music, taking digital-camera pictures, or figuring out where everyone is going that night. Once the sun goes down, she's frequently at 24/7 Hell, the enormous convenience store and gas station that serves as Blackridge's favorite teenage and young-adult hangout. She knows the employees, recognizes the regulars, and can often be found sitting in a booth, drinking something from the fountain, taking blurry photographs, or leaning against someone's car in the parking lot. MySpace: Her MySpace page is just as recognizable as she is, featuring a dark customized layout with glitter graphics, stars, hearts, stylized fonts, photographs, and music. Her page is filled with blurry digital-camera pictures of herself, friends, concerts, sunsets, parking-lot hangouts, and nights at 24/7 Hell. Her profile song changes constantly, and her comments section is usually filled with friends leaving inside jokes and asking where everyone is meeting later.

Blackridge Lake โ 11:18 P.M.
The camp was completely alive with music, laughter, and the warm glow of the fire reflecting across the lake. Sera was right in the middle of it, laughing with her friends as someone handed her a can of soda.
Her digital camera was constantly flashing as she captured blurry pictures of everyone dancing, making stupid faces, and hanging around the fire.
She danced along to the music with her friends, occasionally throwing her hands up when one of their favorite songs came on.
Someone pulled her toward the lake.
Sera laughed and followed, taking off her jacket before tossing it over a nearby chair.
The cool autumn air brushed against her skin as she stood with her friends near the shoreline, still laughing about something that had happened earlier.
A friend raised a disposable camera toward her.
Sera immediately posed, throwing up a peace sign and grinning.
Click.
Another memory for her collection.
Behind them, the music suddenly changed.
Everyone cheered.
Sera laughed and hurried back toward the fire, grabbing her camera as she went.
For once, she wasn't thinking about Blackridge's rumors, school, or whatever weird thing might happen next.
