Player’s Overview
First, a little backstory. Serephim was born to two crafters in Lakeshire. About the same time, there was a summoned fire spirit that attempted to hide in Serephim. He found himself locked within the fragile human child. Serephim, even as a baby, had full access to his abilities and much to her parents dismay combusted into a tiny fiery form often. This was often forgotten in the coming months when the Orcs invaded. Her parents were on the run, first to Stormwind and then to Lordaeron.

Once reaching their destination, it was obvious that they were without any way to provide for their baby. It was a blessing when the Kirin Tor offered to take the child in. They would study her, educate her, and hopefully help her control the same powers that were such problems for her parents. As Serephim grew up, she realized that she was different, but didn’t feel a need to worry about it. In fact, it thrilled her slightly. Among the other apprentices, she quickly earned the name “Lady Pyro” through her blatant and sometimes frightening displays with fire.

Serephim went out into the front lines when she passed her test and became a journeyman mage. She has a tendency of making things seem like a joke, even this. However, when no one is looking, she often drops the pretense. she distances herself from others as she does not quite understand the point of making a connection with someone else. Her clothing is always practical, but every article she carries has a fire ward inscribed on it in order to protect it. Even her horse bridle and saddle have fire wards to protect the horse.

The randomness that generates from Serephim seems to be from Blaze’s influence. However, the bluntness seems to be Serephim’s own personality as Blaze prefers to play than give direct answers. Despite enjoying her infamy in some ways, Serephim finds now that there is more peace with those who don’t know her. Many have made snap judgments about her than included implying that she is a servant of Ragnaros in disguise. Serephim believes that she is in complete control of herself and despises any notions to the contrary. Secretly, she has contemplated researching if anything similar has ever occurred to anyone else.

Abilities or Powers
**Please note that despite being a mage, Serephim is unable to use any frost magic.

Spontaneous Combustion
This ability was gained at birth due to the merge with Blaze. It wasn’t controllable until she was in her mid-teens, but it can now be used to create a burst of flames from her body. Many times the temperature about her is still several degrees warmer than the air around her creating a shimmer effect that others can easily see which is a similar effect ((Please think of the same effect as looking at something in the distance on a hot summer day, but it is not unusual to this effect no matter the weather around her.))

Enhanced Fire Control
Due to her innate connection to fire, she seems to have no problems manipulating normal fire as well as magical fire. They seem to know her thoughts and react to her moods as well. There is no known limit to the fire that she can control, but at this time she hasn’t attempted to control anything larger than a bonfire. ((This applies to felfire as well, although the effect is less.))

Fire Immunity
This goes along with the combustion element. Fire has no detrimental affects, although the smoke does ((wood ash is not good for anyone’s health)). It causes a red sheen to her skin that looks like red hot coals. The same effect happens when she combusts, but it seems to fade slower when the fire is not of her own making. Serephim has only run across one type of fire that could burn her. Felfire.

Externalization of Blaze
Serephim often externalizes her ‘alter ego’, Blaze, as an amorphous ball of flame. He can speak in this form in an echoing deep voice. Due to their connection, he often tends to echo her feelings. He is a separate being that has merged, which means that while most of his personality and thoughts are his own they have been influenced by Serephim.
