After being pulled into another world, her father went on many adventurers. Originally he was seeking a way to return to his own world, but eventually gave that up to enjoy the heroic status he held in Anama instead. He ended up marrying into the royal family, taking the hand of Princess Stella, the King's 5th daughter. Serana was the result of that marriage, a Princess of beautiful visage, strong body, brilliant mind. While the royal family didn't hold much actual power in Atlantica, and she was far down the line of succession anyways, she was still adored by those who respected the royal lineage.<br/><br/>Back in his home world, Joseph was a science teacher and tech hobbyist. These talents earned him a position as the court's royal artificer, as he created many different inventions using a mixture of magic and science, some based on tech from his home world and some modeled after his favorite nerdy media. He also personally saw to Serana's tutoring growing up, teaching her in all manner of subjects: math, history, psychology, even several languages from his world. Of course he also taught her the wonders of arcane science, which she took to like a fish to water, sharing in his passion for invention. By the time she was a teenager she was already inventing and infusing her own gadgets from scratch, and she her inventions would often save (and sometimes <em>cause</em>) the various shenanigans that occurred throughout the palace. <br/><br/>While her father had originally abandoned his goal of returning to his home world, as he grew older he developed a deeper and deeper longing to see his home once more. However he was past the age of accomplishing this on his own, so he requested Serana to act in his stead, to discover a means of traveling to another world so that he might see his home one last time before he dies. Serana was happy to accept her father's request, not just out of her love for him, but because she had always been fascinated by the stories he used to tell her of his homeland. However they both knew that the secrets they sought could not be found in Atlantica, or at least couldn't be achieved with Atlantica's help. After all the isekaid heroes were considered divine gifts from the Goddesses themselves, destined to follow in the Three Heroes' footsteps, and the church clung to them like priceless treasures. The idea of trying to send one back to their world...it wouldn't just be refused, it might even be labeled as blasphemy. As such they decided the best plan would be to seek help outside the kingdom, in the city of Azure. Using the connections he had built over the years Joseph managed to get Serana across the border and accepted into the Guild in secret, her true identity known only by a few trusted officials. Serana now works as an adventurer under the name "Josephine", to hopefully discover a means of traveling to another world.<br/><br/></div></div>
