Serena/history

''"Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive." '' - Dalai Lama  The unacknowledged daughter of Ricardo Guillaume Nantes, Viscomte de Paquet and the Eglantine Courtesan Ilyse, Serena was raised in her mother's House until the age of eight. She sang as beautifully as her mother and perhaps more so and in this she was well placed in Eglantine House. But she found no joy in such things, it was the care and comfort of others that was obviously a task she took to with abandon. So at age eight, she was moved within the walls of House Balm where she began her studies in the care of both the body and spirit of her future patrons. She excelled in understanding other's emotions, even more so than her own. And with that came the want to soothe their worries. Her teachings beneath the other adepts and courtesans saw the young woman well into her debut where she not only sang but offered to work away the weariness within the muscles of the attendees. It was only after her innocence was bought and her first night spent with her patron that she realized how very much she was meant for House Balm. She found great release in her administrations and the ending result. This gave her a whole new strength to her approach and studies. For Serena, the lessons never end. She has recently returned after a year away at the private estates of her most prominent Patron. Seeing to his every need while recovering from personal losses and illness. Is she ready for the City once more? Are they ready for her?
