⌈Physical Description⌋
Senna is a pretty and petite girl. She is often teased for her frame, being the small girl she is for her age. She has long velvety-red hair that reaches her waist. She has a round face, peach skin, and big blue eyes. She wears a pair of feather-like ribbons hooked on the back of her ears, which is present no matter what it is she is wearing. Her outfit can change, depending on what her master gives her, but the ribbons always stay.
Inner Soul
✦Spaz Attacks || When startled, surprised, etc. Senna has a tendency to get excited and talk fast, nervously, gushing on and on about this and that. She may begin moving her arms and hands sporadically as she talks, just out of reflex.
✦Touching Her Lip || In moments of thought or boredom, she will touch her lip. When she is bored she will touch it with her thumb and maybe flick the upper lip to make that little sound. If she is in thought, she will rest her index finger upon the middle of the two lips, as if pursing it.
✦Dancing || She has a tendency to literally dance around as she does any work. It keeps her interested and involved in it even on her most boring days. It's nothing extreme, but little twirls and steps, hip movements, etc.
✦Smiling || A situational quirk, she smiles when she is afraid, concerned, worried, or angry. She believes that a smile bring strength, so no matter how scared she is, she will smile. It makes her feel strong, or at least lets her believe it does.
⌈Likes⌋
♥Cooking/Baking || While it's her job, she really enjoys it. It's productive and keeps people alive. And seeing the smiles on people's faces when they enjoy her food makes her happier than 'most anything.
♥The Sky || She doesn't really understand it herself, but seeing the wide, open blue skies puts a smile on her face.
♥Animals || She enjoys tending to animals. Petting them, feeding them, etc. She finds the love from animals can be earned and once it is, the animal will not betray or hurt you. There's security in it and she loves that feeling.
⌈Dislikes⌋
✖Demons || After what they'd done to her family, she can't forgive them. She doesn't like demons.
✖Tofu || She hates it and hates working with it. She can't properly figure out how to give it a delicious taste and texture and that bothers her to no end.
✖Weapons and Violence || Having seen some of the issues that can arise from weapons and violence, she doesn't like them. They're like bad omens to her, tools and actions that will only bring destruction and negativity. She sees no good in it. And will often flinch in the presence of either.
⌈Fears⌋
✖Demons || She's absolutely horrified of demons. Their power is far greater than hers and one could easily crush her if they wanted. That knowledge scares her to death.
✖Pain and Death || Having witnessed violence and murder first-hand, she is deathly afraid of either happening to her. The agony that each brings is hard for her to imagine and strikes fear right through her core.
✖Fire || Fire is destruction. At least, that's how Senna sees it. To her, fire only has destructive tendencies and no real good can come of it. Someone is bound to get hurt when fire is involved.
⌈Flaws⌋
✖Awkward Mess || Simply put, she's a wreck. Social situations are weird to her. And unlike most others who aren't very experienced with new situations, she gets loud and boisterous when she feels awkward rather than clamming up and secluding herself.
✖Stature || She's nearly an adult and she still looks like a child. She absolutely hates this and will probably lash out at any human who makes fun of her about it. Unfortunately for her, she mostly just pouts a lot and that does not help her case.
✖Fear Rules Her || She's absolutely ruled by her own fears. The very threat of one fear being used against her will make her obey. Her primal instinct to just survive has a complete hold of her.
⌈Secrets⌋
⌛While she is afraid of them, she thinks the demons were in the right for attacking when the humans did. At first they were just protecting themselves.
⌛While she doesn't like her small stature and almost child-like appearance, she'll play off that she is just a little kid if it benefits her.
⌈Personality⌋
To put it simply, she is a weak-willed girl who feigns strength. With a mind warped by fear of the world she lives in, her primary focus has always been survival. By nature, she is a sweet girl who is always willing to help another human in need. Her father used to spew lots of life lessons and one-liners at her growing up. "Togetherness is survival." He wasn't the best with words, but it got the point across. But she had always been a prisoner of fear. This caused family and friends in their little community to worry for her, which in turn caused her to start putting on a brave face. The one thing her father always told her that really stuck with her was that "There's strength in a smile." She began smiling no matter the situation she was in. She places appearing strong very high on her list of important things. When it comes to demons, she's simply obedient. Obedient out of fear, she gives service with a smile. Whatever it takes to survive, she'll do it.

⌈History⌋
As many remaining humans tried to do after the war, the parents of Senna tried to rebuild the world to its former glory. A small town in the Northeast portion of what was once the United States of America was home to her family. With her grandfather being a war hero back in the war that changed the very world, her parents took it upon themselves to lead up a civilization. A peaceful one in the middle of nowhere, a place that they could live happily and safely away from the tyranny of the new demonic overlords. And for a while they succeeded. The parents, though getting on in years, gave birth to a small baby girl. They named her Senna.
Senna grew up knowing peace and tranquility, living what could almost be compared to the life of a normal child. Though she had certain responsibilities, as every community member did, she was able to play and make friends. Her father would pridefully tell her that not everyone knew this safety, that the world was a cruel and harsh place. This was their only haven from the demon scourge. In school, she learned the specifics of the war. How man fought against demons bravely for their land and people. But Senna didn't quite feel like it was the right thing to do. Bloodshed and violence just didn't click with her. She couldn't see the glory in it. Such things left the world in chaos and disarray. She didn't like it...
In her community, she found her place in a soup kitchen. People really had to hunt for themselves in this community. But not everyone could cook or acquire these sources of food. With just a natural talent for food preparation, she really came to enjoy the work. It was rumored that some people intentionally didn't hunt now and then just to have an excuse to get some of her cooking. She was always as generous as she could be with portioning and made something special whenever possible. Finding a pre-war cookbook or two really helped with that. Things really seemed good for the girl. She had a peaceful place in a peaceful world in which she could be happy.
Or at least she did for a while. Until their community was discovered by demon slavers. It all happened too fast for her to really grasp what happened. A beautiful but intimidating voice gave the town an ultimatum: surrender and come peacefully as slaves, or die with their town. Her parents, as the leaders of this town, and many others took a stand against the demons. From there it was all a blur to Senna. She remembered fire, gunshots, the swinging of blades... malicious intent, blood spilling onto dirt... Shaking and trembling in hiding, though her face was stained with tears, she smiled. She smiled to convince herself that she was strong and not weak. Yet still, when she was discovered, she gave herself over. With her life on the line, her mortality being called into jeopardy, she surrendered to slavehood. Her entire world was flipped upside-down, but she obeyed every command given. There was nothing more precious to her than her life. She resolved to survive, no matter the cost. Even when she was told that she was being sold to the head demon family...
