Seraphina is a student of Wellston High and one of the main protagonists of the unOrdinary. She was once the strongest student in Wellston until she lost her ability. She's John's best friend and was also the school's Ace and former Queen.
Appearance
Prior to John's arrival, Seraphina did not have the blonde streaks in her magenta hair and overall had a respectable appearance. She would wear her hair in a ponytail, and had her attire in order, wearing her jacket properly, doing her tie accordingly, and had her shirt buttoned all the way to the top button. Her uniform had no to few wrinkles in the past.
At some point after meeting John, Seraphina cut her hair short and started using hair extensions regularly. Her outfit is notably more disheveled than before, most of her clothing full of wrinkles and she obviously does not care about how she is perceived anymore.
Her thought bubbles are the same magenta colour as her hair, and her eyes glow sky-blue when using her ability.

Personality
Seraphina has a rather relaxed personality and doesn't really care for much. She often finds herself bored due to how good she is at practically everything. She can get very assertive with people who get into her business, going so far as freezing time around them. Around John however, Seraphina tends to be playfully sarcastic, though she does look up to her "crippled" friend. She's also unfazed by horror movies and takes pleasure in freezing John so she take a picture of him being scared.
In the past, Seraphina always strove to be perfect in the eyes of others and did not tolerate anyone getting in her way, but she did harbor doubts on the purpose of being perfect. After meeting John, she realizes that it doesn't matter what others think of her and stops trying to be perfect.
After she lost her ability, Seraphina initially kept her calm, nonchalant visage. However, she is privately worried about when or rather if her ability will return. After John was beat up right in front of her and she was powerless to stop it, she stated to him that she is starting to understand what he goes through as a cripple. When the entire student body of Wellston turned on her, she finally broke down and admitted that she is scared of her ability being permanently gone, revealing that she ties of worth as a human being to her ability.
History
Perfection
Unnamed Wellston students judging Seraphina.
Seraphina was always viewed as the ideal student by all of Wellston. She was not only the most powerful student in Wellston, but also the valedictorian of the school.
But due to that, those around her, including her parents, placed high expectations on her. She always felt pressured to be perfect and worked hard to please everyone, except herself. If she did anything imperfect, her peers would criticize her behind her back, but she would try to ignore what they had to say about her.
First Day
Seraphina having an emotional breakdown.
Seraphina was present when John introduced himself to the class. She and every other student in the classroom shunned John when he admitted that he was a cripple.[3]
While John found himself cornered by Crail and Lin to be "educated" on his position in the school hierarchy, Seraphina ignored John's pleas for help. The cripple then "thanked" Seraphina for just standing there.[4]
On the same day, Seraphina wanted a slice of Wellston's famous Triple Chocolate Cake and forced John to give her last slice. John initially refused, but Seraphina threatened to use her ability to take it by force. In defiance of her bullying, John pretended to hand the cake over, dropping it in the process, which prompted Seraphina to beat him and break down emotionally.[5]
Project Partners
John and Seraphina as project partners.
Later in class, Seraphina was thinking about why John made her emotionally unstable at that moment while the teacher was assigning a project. John and Seraphina were forced to be partners for a three-part literature project, much to the reluctance of both parties. Seraphina decided that she would complete the project alone and John would merely read directly from her note cards during the presentation, but he refused and did his own work.[6]
During the presentation, John proceeded to improvise most of the presentation by fabricating information, resulting in him and Seraphina receiving a B-. Seraphina left out of rage to go to the library. While the duo was at the library, John suggested establishing a stronger rapport, but Seraphina was still angered by her grade and threatened to make his life a hell on earth. John was completely unfazed and surprised Seraphina with his defiance as he introduced to her the concept that instead of living for her reputation, she should do as she wished, just as he did.[7]
Seraphina displeased with the A- on her McBetch presentation.
With the second part of the project, this time on Spearshake's McBetch, looming over them, both decided to head to the library to work. Despite their arguments and John's inability to interpret Spearshake, their efforts resulted in an A-. John was more than happy with this, but Seraphina was unsatisfied with her below-perfect grade. This left John wondering why she was never satisfied.[8]
Overhearing two girls criticizing Seraphina, John stepped in to defend her, but the girls started beating him up. Moved by John's selflessness, Seraphina stepped in to protect him from further harm. Unfortunately, John was already injured and needed to go to the infirmary.[8]
Seraphina protects John from two bullies.
It was not until the third part of the project, when Seraphina and John were working on Julio and Romiette, that John became more diligent with his work and asked Seraphina for help interpreting the some of the lines.[9]
On the day of the presentation, John's overly serious demeanor caught the attention of Seraphina, prompting her to ask what was wrong. John responded that he disliked the judgmental attitude of other students and apologized for all the flack she got due to his actions. Seraphina accepted his apology and stated the he was the most persistent partner that she had ever had. The duo proceeded to receive a perfect score on that part of the project. However, they only received an A- on the overall assignment, to Seraphina's mild disappointment. Despite that, John convinced a reluctant Seraphina to celebrate with a drink at Woaba Boba.[9]
Plot
Beginning
Seraphina playing Slappy Pig with her best friend, John.
Seraphina was first seen on the roof the the school playing a game on her phone before receiving a text from John to keep him company in the infirmary. Once Seraphina arrived, she made to leave and promised not to wait for him after school. Seraphina stayed with her powerless friend however, and the two spent their time playing Slappy Pig. John's score of 187 was no match for Seraphina's 212. As the duo argued about the legitimacy of Seraphina's score, they were interrupted the room started rumbling.[10] The infuriated Doctor Darren began to leave to investigate the racket, but not before giving John a stern warning to stay. John had no intentions to stay however and left the infirmary with Seraphina as soon as the doctor was gone.
Once the duo got out of the infirmary however, the first person they encountered was Gavin; fortunately Seraphina took Gavin out and John got out without a scratch. John and Seraphina then went out for a drink, which John had to pay for.[11]
Seraphina and John at Woaba Boba.
While the two were enjoying their drinks, John recalls how he threw Gavin out of the window much to Seraphina's amusement. After John finished his story, Seraphina expressed to him that constantly living on the edge like that would be exciting, but he disagreed. After hearing John complain about the world being violent, Seraphina explained to John that there is no need to waste time talking to weaklings when they can easily be overpowered. John disagreed, and the two remained silent until the news reported that EMBER's newest victim, X-Static was killed. Despite the good works performed by X-Static, Seraphina and many others believed that people like him should mind their own business. John attempted to defend the vigilante's altruistic actions but was cut off by Seraphina's question: "Do you feel safer... Now that he's dead?"[12]
Kovoro Mall
Some time after on a weekend, Seraphina was at John's house at 2pm calling him. She wanted John to come with her to Kovoro Mall, but he claimed that he needed to clean his house. Unfortunately for John, Seraphina was already at the front door during the call. Even worse for John, his claim of his messy house was just a lie to avoid going shopping. The only thing that was out of place was John's boxing gloves.[13]
Seraphina and John waiting in line for the Ability Gauge Vendor.
After shopping for clothes and buying a "LAME" shirt from Andy's Fashion Boutique, John noticed an ability gauge and wanted Seraphina to try it out. Seraphina agreed after enough begging from John;[13] however, Levani's threats on the Ability Gauge Vendor held up the line forcing John to intervene. Seraphina stood by John's side as he called security and witnessed the vendor giving Levani her refund. The grateful vendor then gauged Seraphina and gave her a teddy bear. [14]
Seraphina kicks the Invisible Assailant.
By the time he and Seraphina left Kovoro Mall, it was already evening and they had to take a bus home. The closest bus station was already full so they decided to walk to a another station. Along the way, Seraphina told John to look at the bright side of that day's battle, and John mentioned that the teddy should be named after him. Their conversation was cut short however when John somehow sensed an assailant and ran off with Sera. Unfortunately, John and Seraphina got cornered by the assailant, but John was able to locate the assailnt by throwing his recently bought "LAME" shirt onto the attacker. This gave Seraphina the opportunity to attack the assailant and get herself and John away to the bus station.[15]
Seraphina borrows John's copy of Unordinary.
Once the two realized they were safe in John's house, Seraphina asked how he was able to even sense the assailant in the first place, but he simply responded "I don't really know...! Just a feeling I guess?" Initially, Seraphina was going to go back to the dorms, but John convinced her to stay the night. While John was preparing dinner, Seraphina found the copy of the infamous book Unordinary and was intrigued by it. After revealing that the book was written by his father, W. H. Doe, John let her borrow it despite the risk of possessing such a cursed book.[15]
In the early hours of the next morning, Seraphina remained sleeping until John came back with their breakfast. While eating breakfast, Seraphina noticed that John was abnormally quiet and attempted to pry, but John simply yelled that he was fine. Despite John's aplogizes, Seraphina saw it best to leave him alone and left. As soon as she reached the dorms, she encountered a rather angry Elaine.[16]
Turf War
Seraphina uses her ability on Elaine.
Elaine was not happy to hear that her roommate was at a cripple's house and began scolding Seraphina, but didn't get to finish because she was frozen in time. After warning Elaine not to mess with her business, Seraphina released her roommate, walked into her room, and received an apology from John in the form of a text as well as a warning to keep Unordinary out of sight. As Seraphina was about to start reading the forbidden book, Arlo walked in told her that Agwin High School challenged Wellston to a Turf War. Even though Seraphina didn't want to participate, she joined after hearing that Remi was unable to make it.[17]
Seraphina was later seen in the train texting on her way to the battlefield.[17]
When Team Wellston arrived onto the battlefield, Seraphina realized that Wellston instigated the Turf War on Agwin and not the other way around. Once Arlo (re)introduced Seraphina to Broven, the opposing King began to fear the inevitable loss that would behall him.[18]
Seraphina remained on the sidelines with the rest of her team during Blyke's battle against Gou. While spectating Blyke's battle against Rein, Seraphina called Blyke back to get himself healed knowing that the Jack would have died if she didn't call him back.[19]
During Arlo's battle against Rein, Seraphina watched in horror as the King began to strangle his opponent. Taking matters into her own hands, Seraphina stopped Arlo from suffocating Rein by shattering his Barrier .[20]
Seraphina's actions prompted Arlo to investigate John.
Investigation
Seraphina reading Unordinary.
Back at school, Seraphina was on the roof playing games and recalling her past[4] before getting a text from John to eat lunch together. On her way down to meet John, Seraphina heard everybody whisper about her, but unlike her previous self, she didn't care.[5]
The next day, at the dorms, Seraphina was reading Unordinary before she needed to step out for some fresh air, leaving the book on her bed. As she was going out, Elaine offered some fresh-squeezed orange juice which she accepted for later. As she was walking outside, Seraphina thought to more about the premise of the book and realized how there is one glaring similarity that the strong can influence society. Unfortunately, due to Seraphina accidentally leaving Unordinary on her bed in plain sight, it was eventually discovered by Elaine.[21]
Later that day, John was on the rooftop with Seraphina with the former being nervous about report cards coming later that Friday. Even worse for John, Seraphina admitted that she will be unable to return Unordinary. After berating Seraphina for her carelessness, John asked her what she was going to do next. Despite John's protests, Seraphina promised to keep authorities from tracing the book back to him. Reluctantly, John let Seraphina handle the situation.[22]
John then asked her for her opinions on Unordinary. While Seraphina initially thought that the book's premise was absurd, she admitted that she did not fully understand the content and asked John to clarify. To answer Seraphina's question, John explained how everyone must be protected as everyone has something valuable as well as his admiration for the vigilantes working their way to make that ideal a reality. Seraphina apologised for her carelessness and John admitted that he needed a break from the book after reading it too many times anyway.[22]
Remi and Seraphina find a tracking device within the latter's teddy bear.
While Seraphina was reading OFR Ice back at the dorms, Remi stopped by to thank her for substituting as Queen; in return, Seraphina thanked Remi for taking the Queen's burden off her shoulders. While the two were talking, Seraphina noticed that Remi was distracted by her bear. Remi told Seraphina that she sensed a weird circuit within the bear and asked Seraphina if she can open the bear up. The two realized that the circuit is a tracking device and that they should be careful; they were powerful, but they were not invincible.[23]
Seraphina was called to the Headmaster's office after Elaine reported her findings to the school administration. After her arrival and their introduction to each other, Nadia began interrogating Seraphina by asking a series of questions. Seraphina figured out a way to get past the detector by deliberately leaving out some details about the event. By doing this, she is technically not lying so Nadia wasn't able to find any info about John giving her Unordinary. Nadia then ceased her interrogation with relief before politely asking Seraphina to leave as she had things to talk to the headmaster about.[24]
After the interrogation, Seraphina texted John to meet her at the school gates. Upon John's arrival, Seraphina told him that she would be leaving for a month. Despite John's concern, Seraphina was nonchalant about the entire situation and promised that everything would be alright once she came back. In the meantime, John had to deal with school life without anyone to protect him.[25]
John expresses his worries to Seraphina before her departure.
Suspension
About four hours after Seraphina's departure, she texted John that she just got off the plane.
Seraphina is "greeted" by her mother.
Sera's absence proved to be rough for her as her mother vowed to fix her act during her stay at home. Despite the amount of work the her mother assigned her, Seraphina still found time to entertain herself with games. While working on an assignment, John texted if she wanted to call, and she accepts. After an awkward greeting from John, Seraphina sent the homework to her forgetful friend and introduced John to a new game that she played, Angry Pigs. Despite John's loss, he was determined to beat Angry Pigs with the weakest material, wood. Seraphina had to terminate the call however since it was 2 AM.[26]
Seraphina texted John later that morning and teased John that she had no school to go to. She expected John to text back, but never got the text from him. John later contacted Seraphina via laptop and told her that his phone broke in a fight. Noticing John's demeanour, Seraphina cheered him up by telling him that phones are replaceable. When she asked about Angry Pigs, John immediately cheered up and told her that he had progressed using only wood and planned to beat the entire game with only wood, with a determination that amused her.[27]
Seraphina realizing that her mother has cut the wi-fi.
Unfortunately for Seraphina, her maid had reported to her mother about her gaming and texting habits. Narisa reprimanded her daughter for pointless socializing and games and for being such a disgrace like Leilah, much to Seraphina's annoyance and anger. Seraphina was then forced to spend her remainder of her suspension with no phone nor WiFi. Needless to say, she was unable to contact John for quite some time.[28]
Serphina "working" on an assignment.
During her absence, Seraphina was forced to do many assignments such as book reports. While working on another book report, she fell asleep and dreamed about how she met John. Unfortunately, when Seraphina woke up, her maid came to inform her that her father had set up an interview for an internship with NXGen Research Facility for the next day and she had to gather information on the company to prepare for it.[9]
True Colours
According to her maid, Seraphina's application was rejected by NXGen.[29]
Monster
After weeks of oppression from Narisa, Seraphina decided to stand up to her mother by telling her that her behaviour was unacceptable, that she would no longer follow her orders, and wanted to take a flight back to Wellston early. When her mother tried to slap her with Time Manipulation, Seraphina countered it, thanks to her higher ability level. Then after adding that she wanted a first-class ticket, she walked out of the room triumphantly, leaving Narisa speechless.[30]
Later, Seraphina was seen arriving at the airport and taking a taxi to Wellston.[31]
Once she arrived in Wellston, Seraphina waited at John's porch and saw her friend angrily throw his backpack. Initially happy to see him after her long suspension, Seraphina's happiness soon turned to worry as she saw the normally confident John broke into "'a thousand pieces.'" Curious and concerned with what had happened during her absence, Seraphina took John inside to rest before calling Elaine.[32]
While John was resting on the couch, Seraphina in a joking manner, put a cup of ice-cold water on his neck, surprising the resting teen, causing John to freak out and move his injured arm (causing a jolt of pain). Seraphina then told the now-conscious John that she will be crashing with him and that Elaine was coming to heal him. Before Elaine arrived however. Seraphina asked about John's emotionally distraught state, but he simply dodged the question and told her that he didn't want her to see him in a defeated state and that everything will go back to normal. When Elaine arrived at John's house, Seraphina forgived her for ratting out about Unordinary. While John was getting healed, Seraphina spent her time unpacking. By the time Seraphina finished unpacking, she noticed that Elaine was already gone and that John was not fully healed. Even though John claimed that the Healer had to leave in a hurry, she wondered why she had to leave without saying bye.[33]
Aftermath
For the remainder of her suspension, Seraphina stayed in John's house. While waiting for John to arrive home, Seraphina got to meet the infamous author, William H. Doe. While W. H. Doe was confused with Seraphina being in his son's house, she explains that she was suspended because of his work, Unordinary. However, she remained nonchalant as she was going back to the dorms on 4:00 pm that Friday. When Mr. Doe asked Sera who was stronger, she chuckled and said "That's a good one-."[34] Seraphina remained in John's house while both father and son discussed the latter's situation, privately and helped John do his homework once the two Does came inside.[35]
During a game of poker, William and John were able to bluff out Seraphina, causing her to become vocally frustrated with the game; to help her get better at poker, William gave her a tip that other player's perception of her is as important the cards in her hand. Part way through the next game, William forfeited and left John and Seraphina to continue. After losing to John, Seraphina not only was upset about losing the game but began to think about how John's normally expressive behavior was unreadable.[36]
The next morning, William decided to go for a jog after his son left and asked Seraphina if she wanted to join. She refused. Later that morning, Seraphina and William went out to grab some sandwiches. As they were walking back to John's house, Seraphina asked what was the inspiration behind Unordinary, and William answered with a short overview of his struggles as a cripple and his altrusitic demeanor. William also revealed to Seraphina that John was a troubled boy and that the book was the best way to get to him. He then thanked Seraphina for protecting his son in such a rough environment, but Seraphina responded "He takes care of himself just fine." [37]
After William left, John asked Seraphina if she was excited to go back to school, but she responded that she would have preferred to be expelled and do whatever she wanted. John however told his friend that nothing good can come if someone as powerful as she had such a stain on her record, only to find out that she was joking.[38]
Rage
At 1:47 PM of the next day, after she finished preparing for her return to Wellston, Seraphina had two hours to kill before her suspension ended and decided to go to Woaba Boba.[39] After purchasing her drink, Seraphina was approached by a blonde-haired woman asking her for the time. While helping the woman, Seraphina felt a weird feeling that made her drop her phone and left her hands shaking. She continued walking off however only to barely avoid a van that nearly ran-over her. The driver and the passengers within the van tried to take her inside the van in the facade of going to the hospital, but Seraphina insisted that she was fine. She soon realized that she was being tricked when she was injected by man who had sneaked up behind her. She managed to defeat all her captors and tried to interrogate one, but was stabbed in the back.[40]
Seraphina was shocked at first, but quickly recovered, using her Time Manipulation to send the woman flying through the air. She then ripped out the knife, froze time around her stab wound, and used the knife to take down the remaining assailants. However, as soon as the attackers were down, the wound unfroze and begins bleeding again. Unable to repair her wounds, Seraphina knew that she needed help, so she limped through town all the way to John's house. Wary that the attackers could potentially be following her, Seraphina threatened a man who tried to help her. She managed to make it back to John’s house and collapsed, only to be found by a horrified John.[41]
Seraphina remained unconscious while John called Arlo and Elaine who then healed her and was taken to a bed to rest. However, the same van from earlier approached John’s house, and one of its passengers managed to distract Arlo, Elaine, and John long enough for another captor to kidnap Seraphina. Before the kidnapper could escape, Arlo trapped them in a Barrier. However, the kidnapper held a knife to Seraphina’s throat and threatened to kill her if Arlo didn’t take down the Barrier.[42]
Serphina was still unconscious during her rescue,[43] and the argument between Arlo and John[44]. Elaine worried that they should go to the hospital and report the incident to the authorities. Arlo agreed with her course of action, but John suggested an alternative: to take her to Doctor Darren, talk to Headmaster Vaughn, and keep the authorities out of it.
By the time the three had fallen asleep, Seraphina had woken up, groggy, sick, and confused about recent events. She realized that she was not feeling well and ran to the bathroom to vomit. When John checked on her, Seraphina realized that she was still dizzy and couldn't use her ability after trying it on an alarm clock. Elaine and Arlo followed Seraphina and John into the bedroom, much to her confusion, but John happily explained why the school King and Healer were present.[45]
John managed to get the cranky Doctor Darren to arrange a meeting time for Seraphina and the two went to see him thirty minutes later. After running some tests on the Doctor assured the Ace that her abilities would be back in four days; if not, she would have to visit the infirmary again. While Seraphina was concerned about her temporary life a cripple, John assured her that nobody will notice in those four days.[46]
Secrets
Upon her return to school, many of the students were talking about the rumors about the Ace's suspension, though they were still fearful of her presence as they were before her suspension. However, not everything was the same for Seraphina; during an escapade from class, Seraphina complained about her cracked screen and found her gaming performance declining. When John came up to ask how her day went, Seraphina stated that nothing was different, though she had no doubt that somebody will find out about her ability's condition. Yet, she was not worried about getting found out and maintained her nonchalant behavior, until John warned her about people becoming crueler, once the strong fall. Outwardly, she heeded his advice but John's difference in behavior did not elude her.[47]
While Seraphina was walking along the hallway, she saw a student, Brea, bullying a low-tier girl. Initially, she was going to ignore the two but she ultimately decides to intervene; she saves the student by grabbing Brea's wrist. She orders the girl to return back to her class while she warns the bully to "stop wasting other people's time". Seraphina then lets go of her arm & starts to walk away. Brea, now angry at Seraphina for defending the girl who's weaker than her, attacks her from behind. Seraphina in panic shields herself from the attack but when she feels no pain, it was then she finds herself inside of Arlo's barrier. Arlo traps to poor girl inside his barrier, shrinking it, & forces an apology on her for Seraphina. Brea in fear apologizes to Seraphina with Arlo reminding everyone that they will all have to answer to him if he sees anyone overstepping their boundaries. Arlo then tells Seraphina that they have to talk.
While inside a room, Arlo reprimands Seraphina of her actions------about her always being on the rooftop skipping classes & defending those weaker than her. She just scoffs off his "lecture", saying that she would rather have her mom lecturing her. Arlo then tells her not to blow up her cover about the fact that she temporarily lost her ability. Seraphina, having enough of being manipulated by other people, demands an answer from him as to why he would protect her when he could just let the other students ruin her while sitting comfortably on his throne. Arlo then tells her that since she's higher in ranking than he is, he will watch her back until she recovers, hiding the fact that John actually threatens him that he'll come after him if he sees even a single scratch on her, leaving him with absolutely no choice but to obey. Seraphina, not believing on his statement, walks out of the room.
While she's on her way towards the girls' dormitory, she sees that her phone has so many missed calls from Fyora, wondering as to why she would call her even during school hours. She then scrolls down her phone only to find that she got a call to Arlo. She wonders as to why John would call Arlo after calling Elaine on the day of the incident. She then realizes that John's story doesn't add up, knowing that Arlo would never spend his time "tagging along" with Elaine and that he values his time, unless Arlo has something to benefit from it. Remembering a broken John, she threatens Arlo in her mind that she will come after him if he ever hurt John.[48]
In the girl's dormitory that night, Seraphina decides to call her maid Fyora for all the missed calls intially thought that the maid was calling her on the request of her mother. However, Fyora called to warn Seraphina about Keon.[49]
Four days had passed since she saw Dr. Darren and her ability did not return. While she was on her way to see the doctorm, her head was struck by a rock, leaving a bloody wound on her head[50]; the girl responsible injuring her apologized for "missing the shot," and Seraphina simply dismissed it as no big deal. She made her way to the infirmary to have her injury fixed and ran into John, who was recovering from his tussle against Mardin and Zeke. John was not at all pleased to see Seraphina wounded and was even less pleased to see Seraphina's nonchalant reaction to the entire situation. However, before John could properly reprimand her, Seraphina pointed out his current behavior and asked what happened between him and Arlo.[51] Once John admitted that Arlo had tricked him, Seraphina angrily cursed the King of Wellston and vowed to make him pay.
John had fallen asleep, Seraphina was called by the doctor regarding her test results.[52] Unfortunately, she was told that the drug that sedated her ability was still in full effect, and Dr. Darren had to send her results to the hospital.[53] Seraphina then left the infirmary to Headmaster Vaughn's office in order to meet with Keon, but on her way, she bumped into Arlo and threatened to end him if he got close to John again.[54]
Later that day, Seraphina was called into the office by Headmaster Vaughn in order to see Keon and Nadia, who had arrived on campus to discuss the effects of Unordinary on the god-tier. Once the interrogation began, Seraphina answered most of her questions truthfully, and even told her interrogators that she had lost her ability after she had prematurely returned from her suspension. However, Keon knew that Seraphina was forbidden from stepping onto campus grounds and suspected that she stayed somewhere else. Seraphina attempted to tell half-truths in hopes to avoid Nadia's Lie Detection, but once Keon had heard that she stayed with a friend, he began to force Seraphina to say the friend's name. After the Headmaster gave Seraphina permission to say the anonymous friend's name, she answered, "John". Keon recognized the name and began to press Seraphina about Unordinary and eventually got her to break. Nadia managed to pick out Seraphina's lies and Keon ended the interrogation; Seraphina had broken down and revealed taht she was indeed open to the ideals of Unordinary.[53]
After leaving the Headmster's office, Seraphina began to worry that she managed to drag John into an unfavourable situation and began to walk down the hallway. She took notice of some students eyeing her with contempt as opposed to fear like they usually did. However, the other students were the least of her problems because she found herself pushed down the stairs by a girl with two hair buns...that same girl who had thrown a rock at her. With her leg sprained and her arm injured, Seraphina attempted to limp back to the infirmary, but Remi saw the limping Ace and help her on the way to the infirmary.[55]
Remi was concerned about Seraphina and began to ask her questions regarding her injuires. It was not long before Remi discovered that the Ace had lost her ability. Though Remi tried to ask Seraphina for more details and expressed her worries regarding the loss of Time Manipulation, the Ace was unwilling to answer more questions since she had just returned from an interrogation. After Remi left, John had entered and realized that the green-haired-bun girl was behind all of Seraphina's injuries. Tough Seraphina managed to crack a joke, telling John that he looked just like Darren, she soon began to worry and told John that she revealed her connection to John to Keon. Yet, despite everything that happened, John comforts Seraphina and told her that everything will be alright.[56]
Arc 14
Two days later, John complained about his constrained dorm life to Seraphina, but they were met with a crowd of people, huddling around the billboard. To their horror, news had gone around that Seraphina was powerless, and everyone in the school knew. Now that both John and the former ace were targets, John attempted to escort Seraphina to safety, but Crail and Skrev gave chase, determined to take the two cripples down. But before the two bullies could do any harm, John manged to fend off both Crail and Skrev without the aid of an ability and continued to run...only to throw himself in the way of Krolik's Lazor. Weakened, John was vulnerable to a well-placed Strong Punch from Crail and was downed, unable to defend himself. Despite the overwhelming odds, Seraphina shoved Crail and stood between the bullies and John. Determined to continue protecting Seraphina, John managed to stand up, but the fight was already diffused by Blyke.[57]
Seraphina thanked the Jack for his intervention, and a flustered Blyke told her "it was no big deal" before dashing off to class, with a smile on his face. Seraphina and John then managed to make their way to the infirmary, and for the first time in her life, the once god-tier realized what it was like to be a powerless against unfavourable odds. She had felt powerless and was betrayed by all the students, because of a simple bulletin board. John told Seraphina that many weaker students, especially those at the bottom would take the opportunity to fight back, if given the chance. Though Seraphina looked bleak and gloomy, John attempted to cheer her up, telling her that her condition was only temporary.[58]

Powers & Abilities
Time Manipulation: Seraphina, as the Ace of Wellston, is known as the strongest ability user in the entire school. She has shown the ability to stop time[59] and seemingly rewind the time of her arm so that it could return to the state it was before it was damaged.[60] However, as of Chapter 75, Seraphina has been rendered powerless.
Physical Abilities
Seraphina also appears to be physically strong as she is capable of sending Gavin flying back in his powered-up form, and breaking Arlo's barrier, although this might be augmented by her ability as she moves faster relative to anyone else when in a time-frozen environment, which greatly increases her momentum.
She also uses her ability for pranks,[2] and she is also skilled at games which may have something to do with her ability.
Intelligence
Seraphina is also extremely intelligent, scoring within the 90% to 100% range on all of her tests.
Relationships
- John: John is Seraphina's closest friend at Wellston as well as her source of inspiration. Like any good friend, Seraphina often times "competes" with John on various mobile games to see who can get the better score. Around John, she is very sarcastic and frequently pokes fun at him. She is also very protective of him and is more willing to accept his viewpoints of the world than any other student at Wellston, even going as far as borrowing the banned book, Unordinary. In the past however, she saw John like any other student of Wellston, a weakling. Currently, she is not aware of John's ability.
- Elaine: Elaine is Seraphina's roommate at the Wellston Dormitories. While Elaine does legitimately care for Seraphina, the real reason she is her roommate is to keep an eye out for any suspicious behavior. Elaine is also extremely intolerant of Seraphina having any associations with John and their newly-developed closeness has put a strain on Seraphina's relationship with her.
- Remi: Seraphina is grateful for Remi taking over her spot as Queen of Wellston. The two appear to be close friends and show concern for each other.
- Arlo: It is implied that Arlo and Seraphina have been rivals for quite some time, but have put up cordial fronts when dealing with one another.[61] Lately however, Arlo's more merciless methods (especially strangling Rein during the Turf Wars) clashed with Seraphina's own methods and put an even bigger strain between them.
- Narisa: At one point, Seraphina was the pride and joy of her mother, but that changed after she befriended John. Seraphina's mother tends to want her daughter to be the best and does not tolerate her current behavior, comparing her to her "failure" of a sister, Leilah.
- Leilah: Leilah is Seraphina's sister. While they have yet to interact within the present storyline, Seraphina appears to care for her sister and does not view her as a failure, unlike her mother.
Quotes
- (To herself) "I must be stronger than everyone! I must be smarter than everyone! I must be perfect!"
- "When your constantly perfect, it no longer becomes an accomplishment. Perfect becomes an expectation."
- "I do everything that's expected of me. But what do I get in return?"
- (To John) "I work so hard every single day! You think you can just waltz in and humiliate me like this?!"
- (To John) "Do you feel safer... Now that he's dead?"
- (To Gavin) "Don't waste my time."
- (To John) "There’s no need to argue with a weakling to prove a point."
Notes & Trivia
- Seraphina was jealous of Rein's bust size.[2]
- She likes pig-themed games such as Slappy Pig and Angry Pigs as she thinks that pigs are cool; when uru-chan asked her how to find cool games, she searched "Pigs".[2]
- The name Seraphina comes from the word seraph, which is an angel of the highest order.
- Sera's present hair was supposed to be completely purple. When Uru-chan drew her for the first time, she was playing around with effects and accidentally blotched some green into her hair. She thought it looked cool, so she kept it. [62]
