【Childhood】

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

Her childhood was relatively normal (compared to everyone else), she was one of the "lucky" ones and born after the Colourless Plague and missed it entirely, of course that meant she was born and went without colour for a good few years.

Her birth was a rather special one as well, as she was marked with The Blessing of the Goddess, a butterfly marking on her back, which would symbolize her blessing of flight. 

Of course, being a baby she couldn't use or summon her wings just yet, but she would learn soon, as by the age of 2, she would be giving her parents a lot of trouble with her flight abilities. She would summon her wings and knock things over or smack people with the face, or she would escape her crib and end up outside. It was definitely a stressful time in their lives.

Thankfully as she aged, her escape attempts would lessen and cease entirely.

At the age of 5, her colours started showing like everyone else (which was a huge relief to those around her).

Nothing much of note happened until she turned 10, which was when she participated in the ceremony where Akaiiro children get their hair, ears, and tails dyes, kind of like a coming of age ceremony.

At that point in time, she was also enrolled into Oclearose, Academy for the Blessed because she was blessed with a mark. There she would learn about their history and her role in their society. That was where she developed a special interest in the "Grays" (as her people called them).

【Teen Years】

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

This was the period in time where Cyrus got his promotion and spent less time at home, she was sad to see him go for long periods of time but was happy he was successful at work.

When she turned 13, she partook in another ceremony, smaller this time, she would be given her gem and gain access to her magic.

As she grew older, her interest in the Grays never dwindled, in fact, it increased instead. She was very interested in these bipedal creatures and where they came from and how they lived. Of course everyone tells her to never engage with them as they were the cause of the Colourless Plague, but she had always found something not quite right about it. Sure they appeared around the time everyone got sick, but where was the proof they were the cause of it all?

All in all, she was just very interested in these Grays, she wanted to see them for herself, and maybe prove to everyone they were not the cause and to give them a chance (and that they're not cursed as everyone believes).

Since the portal between Soteria and Earth only opens for a short time once every few years, she had to prepare in advance if she was serious about going to Earth.

Preparations aside, of course there were some other things that she needed to get done first (namely talking to her parents about her plans).

During her classes and studies, she focused particularly on the history lessons and the classes that taught them about the Grays. She would ask many questions about them, gaining weird and often disturbed looks from her classmates at her apparent interest in them.

She would be told the same things over and over again-

"The Grays are dangerous monsters that almost wiped us all out."

And 

"They are a curse upon the land and must be avoided at all cost."

She couldn't get any useful information about them, so she looked to self-study at the archives in the Avicrest Library. There she would meet one who was just as interested in the Grays as she was, and that person was Elvira, the Senior BookKeyper, and from her, that was where she learnt what the Grays were really called, "Humans".

Seika would visit Elvira often to hear about stories she had about these Humans and learn more about them, of course they were only speculations from what Elvira had seen from them, but any information was good information. 

【Adulthood】

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

Going up to her adult years, she continued to meet with Elvira, learning more and more about humans, as well as preparing to make her journey to Earth. 

It was a long time coming, but eventually she found a time when both her parents were home before she broke the news to them. She planned to go through the next portal to Earth and stay there, wanting to learn more about the Grays and their history.

They were shocked of course, because unlike Seika, they had actually lived through the plague and lost a lot of friends and family. 

After a lot of convincing, they relented reluctantly, as long as she kept in touch and did her best to stay safe. Thanking them profusely, she told them her plans and when she was going to head off. They even helped her pack before the portal opened and she had to leave.

Meeting secretly at one of the portal locations one dark night (hidden under the large tree roots in Eleos island), they said their goodbyes before Seika stepped through the portal, disappearing from their view.

Seika exited the portal through the other side and ended up in a ginormous underground cavern full of plants she'd never seen before, as well as small critters scuttling about. 

She was in awe of it all. It was like an entirely new world to her. She couldn't help but look at and want to touch everything, and before she knew it, she had spent around 5 hours in that cavern. Looking around at all the new things, she wrote them all down in her journal that she brought with her to document everything.

Finally, after a few more hours of documenting, she finally put the book down and left the cavern, lighting her way using her fire magic and finding the exit.

What she saw was truly astounding, it looked almost like home in Soteria, except it had less types of colour and way more green. It looked very lush and healthy, which made her very happy. She would be able to see more of it soon enough as she summoned her wings and took off into the sky.

In the sky, she could see that likely a whole day had passed as it was getting dark. From her high vantage point, she could still see fields of green and the swaying of leaves from the trees (thank you night vision). It seems that the cavern was located in the middle of a dense forest. Which was good, because it meant less chance of someone stumbling upon it.

Scanning her surroundings, she could see that there were plenty of cliffs and waterfalls, it was a really beautiful location. She couldn't wait to settle down here.

Flying a bit further, she found the perfect spot. On Top of a cliff surrounded by green trees, she saw a massive lone tree overlooking the entire area. From there she could also see a waterfall nearby with streams glowing from it. That was it, that was where her new home is gonna be.

She may not look like it, but she was quite handy too, having learnt basic construction skills back at the Academy, it was more than enough to get by and build a small house to live in. And that's what she spent the next few days doing, slowly building up a small treehouse like the one at home. It wasn't much right now, but it was enough.

She would continue to expand the house as years went by.

After staying on Earth for a while, The Grand Council had received news of Seika's journey into the Human world, they were quite flabbergasted at the fact that anyone would want to leave their safe haven of Soteria and go to Earth which is full of those cursed beings. But after hearing the news that she was fine and actually seemed to thrive there based on their source's information.

Seika was very much shocked and surprised when the Council suddenly contacted her, she was sure they were going to punish her for sneaking out of Soteria to go to Earth. But instead, they allowed her to stay, under the condition that she reports back to them with her findings of the Humans and life on Earth.

She was ecstatic that they let her stay and agreed to their conditions. Being the creative type that she is, she would report to them using her journal entries, sketches, and a new way she discovered thanks to those humans, called "blogging".

From then on, she reports back frequently of her findings all while doing her best to live a normal life on Earth, but of course the things that happen and people she meets along the way make it quite difficult for her life to be "normal", but honestly, she doesn't mind.
