Depends. Serenais rarely talks in combat, unless she believes it can give her an advantage. In that case it usually isn't mocking, though. She's a red mage, so it's more about shock, awe and overwhelming force.

Serenais never met them; as far as she knows, they died some time after her parents fled their original homeland when the Garlean Empire took it over.

Serenais has a near-photographic memory. She remembers every echo and every person she fought who didn't get to walk away. The answer is very easily YES. She'd very much want to forget a lot.

Filip Pr😱cházka @serenais.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Serenais grew up in Ishgard and spent most of her adult life in Sharlayan; cold is fine, she's used to it (moderate levels of it, anyway, she's not going to run around in the snow in Moonfire faire attire). It's heat that she isn't a fan of.

CT - at least it's fast. Void Ark - first one "okay", the rest "I'll finish it, but, WHY" Ivalice - okay then... Nier - fun, but takes too long. Myths - never happen (but actually fun?) Vanadiel - never happen (but actually fun, just a bit less so)

Observe people fail basic arithmetic. (before becoming the WoL, Serenais was a aetherological theorist at the Studium; that involved teaching)

Gaius Baelsar. I quite like the character development he underwent in later expansions, compared to what he was in ARR (and 1.0). That being said, Serenais' (provisional) headcanon is that her parents are refugees from Werlyt. They wouldn't be so if he didn't conquer it.

Filip Pr😱cházka @serenais.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Of course. An interesting bunch you have there :) Is there any interesting bit of trivia about any of them? Apart, obviously, from the Luna-Sera situation.

Final Fantasy V, and to date, the only I finished (I do not count FFXIV there as one can never really finish an MMO). I played it a very long time ago, back when my English was very bad, so I don't have much of a feel for it at all, except for how sorrowful it felt at the time.

(...) if she learns about a tragedy she may have prevented. It's based on guilt, not stress, but it does count among the things that prevent her from having a normal life.

Filip Pr😱cházka @serenais.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Not a straight out PTSD, but. Serenais has a near-perfect memory. She remembers all the people she fought, especially those who didn't get to walk away. She sees them in her nightmares, and they come when she isn't active as a WoL for some time; usually about two weeks, sooner (...)

I'm not sure Serenais would be happy. I mean, sure, I gave her a pretty good early... 35 years of life. Then I made her the WoL and took all of it away. Being the Chosen one usually quite sucks.

Filip Pr😱cházka @serenais.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Star Trek - Serenais would be a frontline Starfleet science officer. Jadzia Dax is actually one of her major inspirations.

Filip Pr😱cházka @serenais.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

A different character. Serenais is "Eorzea's first biker girl", and those really don't fit on rennfaires.

010

Filip Pr😱cházka @serenais.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Depends on the problem, but as long as there is a way and time to think through it, Serenais will. The lass is exceedingly smart. Of course, there are outside context problems where that doesn't help. She should know, she is one.

000

Filip Pr😱cházka @serenais.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Serenais honestly doesn't know. She really liked her life before she became the WoL, but she can't really imagine going back to it pretending that everything is as it was before. She knows that her happy ever after would include the world no longer needing a WoL. That would be a good start...

Filip Pr😱cházka @serenais.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Hm. Serenais is a potent caster, with a strong moral compass, independent nature and a bit of a rebel streak. She'd probably be a gray jedi. In Empire times, she'd definitelly be a rebel; outside of those, she'd probably stay on her own. (...)

(...) she over time theorycrafted and, from spell descriptions, reverse-enfineered her way to effectively being a red mage, if one can call her that. She never was a Crimson Duelist and never studied under X'hrun Tia (and it also took her several years to reach his level).

Filip Pr😱cházka @serenais.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Ingame, Serenais was first GLA/PLD. That is still the job I tank on, but I switched main to RDM and never looked back. Headcanon-wise, Serenais was first trained as WHM by the Ishgardian military when she came of age. That however led nowhere and after she left Ishgard, (...)

(...) Sure, there's people going off setting up additional conflicts during times of major crisis on Etheirys too, but on Azeroth, it seems to be everyone's national policy - and that is despite Azeroth arguably facing larger and more common nigh-apocalypses than Etheirys does. (...)

World of Warcraft. I think Serenais, being a red mage duskwight elezen, would do just fine (provided she wouldn't be straight out overqualified, depending on how one sees the WoL and the WoW player character). She would find the people in charge and factions in general INCREDIBLY daft, though. (...)

Serenais writes short fairy tales. They are based on what actually happened, but given that Khloe is a little girl, Serenais writes something she can both enjoy and understand. While avoiding the horrifying stuff that happens in actual combat.

020

Filip Pr😱cházka @serenais.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Serenais, being a professional aetherologist (and a red mage), would definitelly agree that magic is a science. And therefore, a tool as well.

000

Filip Pr😱cházka @serenais.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Serenais' dayjob is theoretical (and a bit of applied) aetherology at the Studium; research, theory and teaching. Being the WoL doesn't give her much opportunity to actually do so, but the Forum decided having the WoL on their payroll is not a bad idea, so she officially keeps the position still.

Serenais, when performing WoL duties: enough liquids, power through. Serenais, outside of the above: being a pale duskwight that lived vast majority of her life in Ishgard and Sharlayan, she'd probably stay a LOT indoor, or at least in shadow and always in reach distance of icecream.

(...) There's also her linkshell, which, like a phone, allows for long dostance communication. However, in that, it functions more like Star Trek's combadge than a phone.

Filip Pr😱cházka @serenais.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

Depends what one considers a phone; yes, but actually no? Serenais has a tomestone with a lot of contents of other tomestones recorded onto it, but it doesn't work like a general phone outside of information library access (probably still allows to doomscroll). (...)

When traveling to Thavnair, make sure to ask for yoghurt alongside every main dish; the spices they use there are fierce. To put it mildly.

Serenais and Thancred first met quite some time ago, when she was teaching (and researching) aetherology on the Studium. She heard about him and his skirt-chasing reputation before they met. So, when on a Studium gala he tried to chase hers, she was amused, but very much turned him down. (...)

Filip Pr😱cházka @serenais.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

"It's alright." Serenais took her promise that the Twins would come back VERY seriously. Sending the Scions back, Alisaie and Alphinaud included, while her staying behind to fight the Endsinger, was the closest to it she could get, after having summoned them back into existence. It was alright...

010

Filip Pr😱cházka @serenais.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

Serenais' theme music might as well be "Back in Black" by AC/DC, and her search info is "The 90's called. They want their WoL back.". I think her listening to dad rock is quite likely, mood permitting.

Filip Pr😱cházka @serenais.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

D) Property damage. If the trolley is empty, just destroy it - Serenais is quite a potent red mage. If the trolley is not empty, destroy the tracks. The trolley is not moving fast (otherwise there wouldn't be time to move the lever), so likely nobody would be hurt if it slowly derails.

Depends on where. Serenais is a pale duskwight elezen who grew up in Ishgard and spent most of her adult life in Sharlayan. Sunny dats there she finds actually quite nice. In Thanalan or Thavnair? Not so much.

Filip Pr😱cházka @serenais.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

Serenais is a Red Mage, so I am split between bladesinger wizard and a hexblade/celestial warlock combined with a divine soul sorcerer. Probably with a fighter sprinkled in for action surge to emulate dual cast (although quickened spells could probably do that too). (...)
