In The Shadows || Serenity Nashimura

[Serenity Nashimura]

BIO


Serenity is a shadow user and memory reader. She sticks to the darker side of life, all the while wishing for and relying on the light. She can read all your memories in a couple of heartbeats but she'd rather not. Having over three hundred sets of memories in your mind could drive a person insane. And it has. Serenity's got a couple of screws loose, meaning she'll randomly talk to herself (or the Voice in her head) and is bipolar. She wants to be good but her heart, mind, and soul call for the darkness.

Serenity's not one to go out and meet new people. But if someone ever does something nice for her, no matter how small, she instant trusts that person, no matter what her past experiences tell her. And because she grew up without friends, she makes up for it whenever she gains one in adulthood. She worries about them and makes sure they are happy, fearing that they will leave her if they aren't. She tries to act normal, or as normal as she can get, around friends she doesn't know as well, knowing that she could scare them off. But once she gets comfortable around someone, they get to see the crazy side of her. Though, even then, she doesn't let them into her past and secrets.[/color]







Serenity's not the type to judge. If she doesn't know you, you're just another face in the crowd. She doesn't care about looks or opinions. But something that will make you stick out and go right to her enemy list? Not having a sense of humor. To a girl who laughs troubling things off, humor and sarcasm is something she can rely on. But if you're the stick in the mud, not laughing, being all serious, she'll hate being in your company and try to avoid you altogether. Unlike other people who swear to defeat their enemies, Serenity would rather just forget about them and never see them again. You stay out of her hair, she'll leave you alone. But if you antagonize her, taunt her, she'll come after you, shadows blazing.[/color]







Serenity's got friends and she's got enemies. She knows, or at least thinks she knows, how to deal with them. But lovers? Serenity's never been in a relationship with anyone, let alone intimate. She stays away from physical contact, something needed in a relationship, and doesn't let anyone, even friends, know too much about her. Relationships scare her simply because she has no experience in that field.

Raven - Best Friend, Partner in Crime, Drinking Buddy

Neither girl really remembers how they first met at this point. They were immediately attracted to each other's company because of the similarity of powers - both are connected to shadows. From first glance, one would assume the girls to be utter opposite, and might go so far so as to assume they didn't like each other. Save for a shared sarcastic streak, Serenity is a polar opposite to Raven's silent, cold demeanor. However, under their own facades, the girl's have a true friendship that has carried them through many years. Serenity is Raven's only drinking buddy - ever - and Raven has joined her on more than a couple late night stunts unknown to the other Titans.

Raven - always a hero, works hard to keep her wavering friend on the right side of the law. However, for the past three years, neither girl has even heard from the other. Their inevitable meeting, and finding themselves on different sides of the law - will be... interesting. However, it is safe to assume that neither one is quite willing to give up on the other yet.
