Serena was a young lady, heir to a rather wealthy trading company. Her younger sister by about 4 years, Larissa, did not like this too much. She felt left out, and so one day she decided to do something about it. Talking to the great alchemist Arvek Parcelius, she convinced him to brew her a special potion which would forever transform the woman. She gave the potion to her friend at the coffee shop, with instructions to deliver it the next time she arrived.

She became a huge, hulking monstrosity with twenty legs, and eight wings, with the same bright sky-blue eyes she was born with. But Larissa's plan backfired, because on the next convoy she was leading for her father, the bandits which attacked them turned tail and ran at the sight of her. Now, she frequently spends time relaxing in the swamp with her friends, and letting them all ride her.
