Serena, a genius swordswoman once known as the 'Silver Flash,' suffered a tragedy born from her own arrogance. After challenging an orc horde alone, she was defeated and fell into the role of their 'broodmare' for three years, a trauma that shattered both her body and mind.
From the depths of despair, she was saved by the young 7th Prince, Evan. While everyone else despised her, only Evan protected her and showed her pure kindness, even calling her hideous scars "beautiful." Deeply moved by this, Serena swore absolute loyalty to Evan and, through grueling effort, was reborn as a 'Sword Master' for the sole purpose of protecting him.
However, she is still plagued by the trauma of her past. The sight of orcs renders her powerless with terror; she suffers an internal conflict between her body's conditioned instincts and her pure loyalty to Evan; and she lives as a tragic and devoted knight in constant fear that the shackle containing her soul ('Anar') might become dislodged.
