Seren Argyris (pronounced ah-YEAR-iss) is a student attending Haven Academy. Her weapon of choice is a blue bow, with various kinds of arrows powered by Dust. She is the leader of Team SLVR.

History
Seren grew up in a small village just outside of Mistral City. Due to the small amount of people, everybody knew everybody on some kind of level. As a child, Seren had three friends named Dawn Underwood, Amber Leclair and Willow Holt. The three of them wanted to Huntresses, and planned on attending Haven when they were old enough. Seren didn't have the same drive, but she wanted to be with her friends more than anything.

Seren started training when she was twelve years old and her parents helped her build her bow. She started with archery, and after months and months of training she began to grow confidence in her skills. Her friends however, had taken to their own weapons much quicker than she did and were starting to leave Seren behind.

Seren pushed herself to work harder and harder to keep up with them, but she kept falling behind and her friends, espeically Dawn, made it clear. By the time the three of them were ready to join Haven, Seren and her mother didn't think she was ready.

Dawn, Amber and Willow left Seren behind without looking back, cutting communication and all but forgetting about their former friend. Seren was heartbroken over this, she no longer had any friends. Her mother told her not to let them drag hr down, but ecnouraged her to work harder to become better than them, so that's what Seren did.

After a year, Seren was finally ready for Haven. She had her fears and doubts however, she didn't want to join Haven and find that she was just as bad as she used to be. She knew that she would run into her old friends again, and she feared having to make new friends with a team who would be stronger than her.

Despite her fears, Seren pushed on and joined Haven, desperate to prove herself.

Usual Outfit
Seren's usual outfit is a light blue tanktop, with arm bands of the same color. She wears a darker blue hood. Her gloves and skirt are the same color. Her skirt has a transparent layer beneath it, with fringe surrounding the buttom. She wears dark blue leggings along with silver boots. She also wears a silver quiver strapped to her back. She wears her emblem in silver on her left breast.

Her hair is long and silver, usually pulled back into a small ponytail. Her eyes are a deep blue, and she has fair skin. Seren is the 2nd tallest in her team, at 5'6". She has strong arms and is agile, but doesn't have much physical strength.

Pajamas
Seren's usual pajamas consist of an X-Ray t-shirt along with some black pants. Though she fears showing her nerdier side to her team, she just wears a gray tanktop with black pants.

Personality
Seren's personality is incredibly different depening on her situation and who she's around, this is due to how her parent's raised her.

Seren's mother, strict and serious at all times taught Seren how to fight. She taught her that a battle requires all focus and attention, so when Seren is in a battle situation she almost never lets her guard down. She never makes jokes, and puts all of her attention on the battle. This easily causes Seren stress, but she ignores her other emotions to focus on the battle in front of her.

When around people she doesn't know, Seren maintains this serious attitude. This applies to her team as well, since Seren doesn't know her team very well she hides a lot and ever since being named leader, Seren has convinced herself that she needs to be serious at all times, despite her team's (namely Violet and Rowan) trying to get her to relax and let her other sides show.

Seren's father taught Seren to be herself, to express her emotions and her passion for what she loves. When she's around her father, Seren is a completely different person. She's playful, goofy and quite a nerd. She loves reading comics and playing games with her father, her favorite comic being X-Ray and Vav.

Seren has nearly ignored that side of herself since joining Haven, thinking that being in an academy for huntsmen and huntresses there's no time for games or comics. She wants to be as good as she possibly can be.

Family
Seren's Mother (To be named) - Seren's mother is an incredbly strict woman, in her youth she had been an incredibly skilled Huntress in Haven. She was the leader of her own team, which disbanded not long after graduate due to the others not being able to handle her bossiness. She enforces her own discpline and hard work onto Seren, trying her to work as hard as she possibly can, teaching her that if she doesn't give her best work, then it's not worth it. Despite her forcefull and possibly harmful teachings, she does love Seren, even if she rarely shows it through affection.

Seren's Father (To be named) - Seren's father is the complete oppisite to her mother. When he was younger he attended Beacon Academy, but his team didn't stick together for unknown reasons. He is rather laid back, and encourages Seren to be herself, to be passionate and caring. He tries to teach her that as long as she loves what she's doing, she's doing it right. Due to the conflicting parenting styles of her parents, Seren's personality shifts drasticlly depending on her situation.

Seren's father was the one who introduced her to comics and games, and uses it as a bonding experiance for the two of them.

Team SLVR
Lina Tayberry - Due to Lina's passive nature, she and Seren have a peaceful relationship. Since Lina mostly focuses on protecting Rowan, but will defend the team when nessecary, Seren has no issue with her. Lina listens to Seren and doesn't question her choices, whether she agrees with her or not is up for discussion. Seren appreicates Lina as the only quiet member of team, instead of constantly having to deal with Violet's and Rowan's antics.

Violet Blackwood - Of all the memebrs of Team SLVR, Seren foughts with Violet the most. This is due to Violet's chaotic personality, she's constantly acting as a soruce of chaos within the team. She points out aspects about the other members that usually anger them. This especially comes into play with Seren. Violet wants Seren to let lose and show her true colors to the rest of the team, but Seren refuses due to her conflicting thoughts about being a serious leader. Violet genuinely cares for Seren, and knows that if Seren would open herself up then she would be an even better leader, fighter and team member.

Rowan Tayberry - Seren is sometimes bothered by Rowan's childish nature, since it conflicts with everything her mother taught her, but she does enjoy having such a cheerful enfluance in her life. She also appreciates Rowan's skill and talents. She doesn't always listen and follow plans which frustrates Seren to no end, but she usually comes back around to listen.

Powers and Abilites
As an archer, Seren likes to take a slower, tacitcal approach to fighting. She likes to plan and focus her shots, but fighting doesn't always allow for this. Her skills as an archer are incredible, but her melee skills are lacking. She trains, but she has a fear of getting up close and personal with enemies. She can dodge and avoid attacks well, but struggles to take an offensive stance.

Seren has a knack for keeping focused on her targets, with or without her bow. She can follow and predict moves with ease, which does aide in her fighting skill. She's agile and quick, but doesn't have much physical strength. She would struggle to hold her own in a direct hand-to-hand combat fight.

Weapon
Seren's weapon is a large, blue metallic bow. Her prefers her weapon in it's primary form, the bow. Most of the bow's power comes from not only Seren's skill, but the arrows she carries. She has four different kinds of arrows, three of which are powered by Dust. She has ice arrows, fire arrows and lightning arrows as well as a plain, metal arrow. Each of the arrows have different bottoms so Seren can quickly pick the arrow she wants without having to search.

Seren's aim is remarkable, able to track and predict her enemies. She's paitent and focused when using her bow, she's also most comfortable using this weapon. If Seren is in a dangerous siutation at close range, she won't hesitate to grab an arrow and use it to aid herself in a fight.

Her weapon's second form is a double bladed sword. Seren can weild the sword with skill when training, but when it comes to real fights she often panics and is clumsy with her attacks. Sometimes, she will throw the sword like a spear, using her skills of aiming arrows.

Semblance
Seren has yet to unlock her semblance, another part of her that she questions and worries about.

Weaknesses
Seren's main weakness comes from her lack of skill in melee fighting, she relies heavily on her bow and without it, loses a large chunk of her fighting power. In her constant desperation to stay focused and level headed in fights, she can tunnel vision easily and get herself or others hurt. She's trying desperately to fix her issues, but if she thinks she's not doing good enough, her self-image lowers and it becomes harder for her train.
