Seryu Ubiquitous was a member of the Jaegers, formerly a member of the Imperial Police. She was a young girl with a strong (and twisted) sense of justice. She was the owner of the Teigu, "Hekatonkheires" until her death, which also resulted in the destruction of the Teigu.
Appearance[]
Seryu was a young woman with auburn hair and amber eyes. During her first appearance, she wore her hair in a long ponytail that almost reached the ground, but it was shortened to shoulder-length after becoming a member of the Jaegers. She was typically seen in a military uniform in favor of dresses and casual wear, and was frequently attired in upper-body armor. Her arms are metallic in place of flesh due to the heavy body modifications performed upon her by Dr. Stylish. When not in her military uniform, she was typically seen wearing a green coat or dress, sometimes with a white skirt underneath.
When in battle and speaking about justice, her face can distort into a warped and demented smile, which has become her trademark over time.
Personality[]
Although Seryu initially appeared as a kind and compassionate person, she is actually a ruthless, psychotic, sadistic and unstable person who seems to enjoy killing to a high extent those of whom she considered to be evil, almost as if it was a hobby.
She has a strong fixation upon "justice", originating from her father's service in the Imperial Army and subsequent death. She also highly respected Ogre the Demon, her superior and teacher, and was heavily anguished by his death as well. Her opinion of justice is blunt, as she believes Night Raid is evil for their actions as assassins, but believes killing in service to justice is always right, which ultimately makes her opinion of murder similar to that of Tatsumi and Chelsea's, if not completely the same.
Seryu had a twisted sense of right and wrong, bordering on a completely black and white view of the world: seeing the authority of the immensely-corrupt Empire as absolutely right, and its enemies as pure evil. She was fully committed to her duties and relished fighting for the imperials. Her twisted view of justice caused a level of distrust towards her by her own teammates, as well as the entire imperial forces on occasion, as she brutally murdered a group of captured prisoners before her team could interrogate them.
This sense of right and wrong is so twisted that she lacks mercy of any kind. She has stated that evil deserves no mercy, which is ironic, as that is the one thing which separates justice from vengeance or even common murder.
She was also willing to go behind the back of her captain to satiate her bloodlust. Despite her show of loyalty and respect to Esdeath, Seryu planned on killing Tatsumi as well as Mine and simply intended to say that she couldn't help herself, despite knowing quite well that this would be going against orders, as Esdeath wanted them captured alive, not dead.
Seryu was also shown to be hypocritical. On her first mission in the Jaegers, she said that justice always fights fair and square, along with attacking head-on, but in her fight against Night Raid, she used rather underhanded means to try and win. Using a hidden gun in her mouth, she paralyzed Sheele so Koro could kill her. She also tried to kill Tatsumi and Mine from afar using her long-range weapons with no warning, basically performing a sneak attack to kill them, which would have worked had Mine not caught the scent of gunpowder.
Seryu was ultimately convinced that she is doing the right thing in what she does, but her actions tend to be far more brutal and insidious than those of the people she believes to be evil, as her sense of righteousness is completely warped. As noted by Mine, she is completely ignorant of the fact that Ogre and Stylish were themselves evil, the former having framed many people for crimes and had them hanged, while the latter used humans for experiments without any moral reserve. She also has a nasty habit of showing her trademark "crazy face" every time she engages an enemy. After mocking Mine about her two comrades who were devoured by her Teigu and proceeding to say that she'd suffer the same fate, Mine ultimately stated that Seryu is nothing but insane and needed to be put down for the sake of the world without her in it.
However, Seryu also seemed to have some limits, respecting her credibility on the Empire's benevolence, despite being in the same field. She seemed to despise Bolic due to his mistreatment of Path of Peace's female members and for being arrogant. When she presented herself in a calm way, Seryu was eager to help out people in need. She was often seen idolizing her superiors and showing deep sorrow upon hearing the news of their deaths. Seryu was also noted to at least take into consideration the lives of civilians during her battles, as shown where prior to engaging Mine and Tatsumi, she made sure to check the surrounding area for the presence of any other humans to insure no one got killed due to crossfire. Overall, taking into account her simplistic view of the world, hero-worship, and sometimes childish behavior, Seryu has quite an immature personality with a streak of emotional instability.
During her final moments, she showed no remorse for her actions, and only laments that she doesn't want to die until she had cleansed the world of all evil, completely ignoring the fact that she herself is the evil one, who is clearly beyond redemption.
She has stated a dislike for dressing up during parties or the like, which coincides with her somewhat-tomboyish personality.
Trivia[]
- Bowser will likely have a clone created of her.
- In Yoshi's Adventures Series, Seryu makes a surprise attack in Yoshi's Adventures of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and will try to kill Sheele again, but unlike last time Yoshi quickly shoved her before Koro could kill her, and Yoshi then uses the ROAR of the Extinct Ones to send her flying to Bowser's Castle where she and the rest of the Jaguers join The 5 D.D.D.D.D's Army.
