general , Possessing the caramel colored skin of those of mixed descent, Sarafina was blessed with ‘good genes.’ Her wide, deep-set brown eyes, arched eyebrows, and oval face she inherited from her father, while her full lips and high cheekbones are the work of her mother’s side. Her thick, silky, corkscrew-ringlet curls are a mixture of her two backgrounds. She is neither short nor tall, neither uncommonly beautiful nor unnaturally unattractive, model thin nor wonderfully curved. With the right clothes and attitude, Sarafina can grab the attention of the interested businessman wasting his evening in a hotel bar, or she can melt into a crowd of onlookers, ordinary-looking and quickly forgotten. Sarafina is, on a good day, enchanting, and fairly nondescript every other day.

Sarafina is naturally slender with long legs and small hands and feet. She is small-boned, giving her a delicate look that she encourages through cutesy hairstyles and whimsical clothes. Add her wide eyes and small face, Sara can easily, and often does, pass for someone much younger than her actual age. She enjoys the multi-patterned and layered looks of dolly and otome kei, most often wearing dresses and skirts matched with contrasting tights, blouses, and accessories.

how , Growing up, Serafina was constantly made to dress up for various parties and functions her mother held, and developed a love for dresses and fashion in general. She has however, a horrible sense of fashion, and so when she was finally old enough to pick out her own wardrobe, she found herself at a bit of a loss. Patterns never matched, she always tried to mix too many textures at once, and she had an unhealthy obsession with patterned tights. Hating the idea of embarrassing her parents with her quirky wardrobe, she turned to the internet for help, and found an entire community of people with the same ‘problem.’ With their help she was able to tame and guide her eccentric fashion sense into something cohesive yet still true to her sense of style (or lack thereof)
general , Head in the clouds, away in La-La Land, absent-minded, Sarafina has been called all these things. Sara is, first and foremost, a dreamer. She spends a good portion of her day playing in a world inside her head, using her fantasies to color real life. Though she does have a sharp tongue and a wicked sense of humor, she’s fairly quiet, letting her actions speak for her. She has a love for adventure and new experiences, and she spends as much time as possible outdoors, as she loves plants and wildlife. Her upbringing was filled with refined dinner parties, private schools, and expensive vacations, all funded by her parents’ less than legal means of obtaining income. Because of this, Sarafina comes across as fairly naïve and sheltered, but is not nearly as innocent as she seems.

Sarafina is currently 22 and attending university in the United States, but her slender build and round, doll-like features make it easy for her to pass as a young teenager. She is using this ‘gift’ to attend Mille-Feuille Academy in order to watch over a high-profile student and report back any dangerous or suspicious activities.

hometown , Palermo, Sicily, but she’s lived most of her life in Lyon, France
family , Benedetto Ferrante (father), Cordelia Ferrante (mother), Nicolette and Bettino (younger siblings)
pets , A hedgehog named Marshmallow
best memory , Christmas day when her whole family is together
worst memory , Failing her first assignment given to her by her mother.
history , Sarafina’s childhood was full of secrets and deception. It didn’t take her long to figure out that the expensive, sheltered life she was accustomed to was bought and paid for by less than clean money. Still, her parents were always loving and attentive, and very typical in their desire to see her happy and successful in all that she attempted. Though her parents did love each other, Sara’s mother didn’t much care for her father’s ‘associates’ in Sicily, and moved her and her siblings up to France as soon as Bettino was old enough to travel. From then on Sara split her time fairly evenly between Sicily and France, spending the school year with her mother, and the summers visiting her father. All major holidays and birthdays were spent together as a family, and Benedetto visited the French townhouse regularly, never missing a recital or ceremony of any of his children.

At 17, Sarafina was inducted into the family business. With her talent for sneaking and blending in, it wasn’t long before her mother was sending her out on various information-obtaining assignments. She was sent to the United States--under the pretense that she was attending university--to be the eyes and ears for her mother while she expanded her business overseas. By day she studies music and history at University of Chicago. By night, well, she is involved in far more interesting things.

Her success in the States reached the ears of Someone Of Importance in her father’s circle. Perhaps Benedetto had been boasting too loudly, perhaps he had purposefully offered up her services. Regardless, spring semester, Sarafina found herself returning to Europe under the guise of accepting a cultural exchange program invitation, her mother having enrolled her in Mille-Feuille Academy. Her orders: watch over her new charge currently attending the school, and report back anything suspicious or potentially dangerous happening at the school.

sample post ,

Sara’s mother sent her youngest daughter a disapproving frown. “Oh, stop pouting, child.” She scolded. “You’ll get your turn soon enough.”
Nicolette’s lower lip only protruded further. “It’s just not FAIR. I’M the one who’s actually of proper age to go to this academy, and COZY gets to go instead! She gets to live in a CASTLE and I’m stuck here with REAL school to study for.” She flopped face first onto the fainting couch in the corner, sighing dramatically. “Cozy gets to have all the fun.”
“Remember that time you got to be the sexy journalist and I had to be your incompetent intern?” Sarafina paused in her packing to tease her little sister. “This is payback.”
“UNFAIR.”
Sarafina smirked as she zipped up her last suitcase and turned to face her mother who was lounging on her daughter’s bed. Cordelia studied her eldest for a moment, then raised a sculpted eyebrow at her offspring. “Do you remember what she looks like?”
Sarafina nodded. “Yes, she’s kind of hard to forget.” Though her new charge wasn’t particularly noteworthy in appearance, her status was impressive. Sarafina had seen the girl before, during parties, in passing. She was higher than Sara, better. An expensive doll that must be kept on her pedestal at all time to be admired but never approached.
“We’ll be the best of friends!” Sara’s exuberance was only a little forced. It wouldn’t be too bad, she supposed. “At least I get to live in castle.” She said, mostly to herself. Her sister heard her anyway.
“SO UNFAIR!”
