-smashes open the door- I HEARD AN IKESEN OC WEEK?

I know plenty of people hear me talk about her nonstop, but just in case you haven’t met my dear. She started out initially as the MC for ALL SHADES OF BLUE and kind of... evolved. So here we are. Now I throw her at the Sun & Sea universe by @ikesenmotonari all the time (hence the reference to Harukata, ignore that... and go read Sun & Sea!) SOME INFORMATION:  SERA BOUDINOT

Sera, unfortunately, is the nail that sticks up. She always has been. Raised in Elkhart, Indiana, she was one of a bevy of children. Unfortunately for her, she was one of the only kids from her mother and father’s failed marriage. When her mother remained her step-dad and started having kids themselves, they made it clear she wasn’t considered part of that. Her father wasn’t exactly in a situation to help her out; he lived in a double wide trailer. Sera learned quickly to adapt and take care of herself.  She left home when she was 18 and spent time in Michigan, couch surfing and sleeping in theatres in exchange for volunteer hours. That’s how she picked up sewing. She’s not half bad at carpentry or lighting board work, but the sewing really stuck. Eventually she graduated to getting paid for her work and actually having a place to live.  Around 25, she got the opportunity to go abroad for a little bit and work. She picked Japan. Mercifully, she liked to learn languages, so she took classes before leaving. That turned out to be extremely fortunate.  That didn’t make the transition to the Sengoku particularly easy. 

There was nothing she could’ve done to make herself blend in. Piercings, accent, the colored hair, the dialect of Japanese--all of it made her an extremely obvious target. History was never her strong suit either. Her explanations for all this are feeble at best. Azuchi, fortunately, took her in--

And then she ran off. 

I.... just really like @captainmotonari‘s OCs....
