time in notting hill : 16 years birthplace : london , england sexuality : bisexual relationship status : single

serah lin kraylick was born february twenty first in london to two doting parents that worked in the casinos. they weren’t necessarily rich, but they were happy with their bundle of joy. that is, until like most stories, tragedy struck and serah’s parents were killed by a random act of violence and the baby serah was put up for adoption at the young age of three years old.

without any memory… of her birth parents, serah was adopted by a kind and fairly affluent family living in notting hill where they took her in and kept the last name given to her at birth as to not hide the fact that while they loved her very much, she was indeed - adopted, living under the belief that here shouldn’t be any secrets within family. the problem ? they were keeping a big one from their daughters, they were members of one of london’s notorious organizations, a gang known for running the drugs on the street , the party circuit, they were dangerous..

secrets kept aside, serah grew up a happy, normal life although she had her usual teenage - level dramas involved with cutting classes, getting caught smoking pot outside .. and then when she was sixteen years old she found out that she was pregnant, a product of her seemingly loyal high school boyfriend — however, when she broke the news to him, he ended the relationship, leaving serah to keep the baby as she was too scared to tell her parents after the way the boy she loved reacted.

having spent the remainder of her pregnancy wearing extra baggy sweatshirts and missing class for ‘mystery’ reasons, serah was able to hide her pregnancy for the first several months, though once news struck , her parents demanded to know who was responsible, a secret she refused to tell even them. by the time she had been discovered, she’d already been carrying too long abortion simply wasn’t an option, and adoption —- while serah herself had been adopted, she couldn’t bring herself to leave her own baby. more so after noella, affectionately known as elle was born. with a newborn it was expected for serah to stay home from school, take care of her baby, but she was one of the lucky ones. family support went a long way and she was able to double up on her classes, take college credits and graduate half of a year earlier than the rest of her class, giving her another few months to enjoy time with her baby girl and prepare for college.

until of course, tragedy struck again —————— a mysterious act of violence once again follows young teenage serah kraylick when their house is set ablaze, the parents trapped inside, the young girl, her daughter and older adopted sibling barely escaping with their lives. from that point forward they knew nothing would ever be the same again. gang violence was ruining their comfortable home town and neither had any idea of what was to come next.

fast forward several years serah pushed her way through college, originally dreaming to be a doctor, but deciding - after the death that followed her in life - that sometimes it was more important to help find out what happened post mortem in order to ease the family of the passing. therefore she ended up taking a job as an assistant to the city’s coroner, where she ( thanks to her family history, perhaps ) managed to grab the attention of both gangs.

oftentimes she would get a phone call, forced to smudge paperwork, remove certain … aspects of the victim that lay in the box, and sometimes cash would be dropped to her home in an envelope, sometimes other things but to say that she is pleased with the situation is an understatement serah is not keen of the organization but isn’t sure what will happen if she turns them down and she has her daughter, who is now eighteen years old, to protect and as a single mother — it helps to be able to put food on the table… sometimes.
