![[Princess Serissa 1.png]] # Princess Serissa _Storm Giant Princess | [[Maelstrom]] | Ruling from [[Wyrmskull Throne]]_ ## Summary The youngest daughter of King [[Hekaton]] and Queen [[Neri]], thrust into leadership of the Storm Giants after her mother's assassination and father's disappearance. She rules from the [[Wyrmskull Throne]] with the [[Korolnor Scepter]], but her authority crumbles as giant lords abandon the court for independent campaigns. Serissa has reached out to heroes through [[Reese]] via dreams, sharing the golden goose coin clue about her mother's murder and seeking help despite advisors warning against trusting small folk. %% ## At a Glance Young storm giant princess with blue-gray skin and flowing light blue hair. Practical dark robes with gold accents and leather leg wrappings. Contemplative expression suggesting someone wrestling with weighty decisions beyond her years. Soft yet authoritative melodic tone. Pauses before speaking to consider words carefully. Fingers luminous blue gem necklace when anxious. Youthful optimism weighed by responsibility, empathetic yet resolute. ## Personality Reluctant queen thrust into power—never wanted the throne but named heir over tempestuous Mirran and cold Nym. Raised by Neri with Stewards of the Eternal Throne philosophy of cooperation over domination. Accompanied her mother on diplomatic visits to small folk. Discovered the Sacred Tome of Annam's Intent in the palace archives, deepening her connection to her mother's ideals. Her philosophy favors cooperation over dominance. **Being Manipulated:** Her sisters and [[Iymrith]] (disguised as advisor [[Lyrith]]) orchestrated both parents' deaths. She doesn't know the full truth. ## Quote _"In unity, amidst the tempest and the calm, we find our true strength."_ ## Background The youngest of Hekaton's daughters, Serissa was raised with values of empathy and stewardship that set her apart. When Hekaton divined that his eldest daughters were unfit—Mirran being tempestuous, Nym cold and unloving—he named Serissa heir despite her youth and reluctance. Her levelheadedness proved itself when she counseled him against immediate vengeance after Neri's murder, urging him to "uncover the truth before lashing out." When the ordning shattered and tragedy struck swiftly—Neri assassinated, Hekaton disappeared—Imperator [[Uthor]] guided her reluctantly to power. In desperation, she reached out through dreams to Reese, sharing the golden goose coin clue and entrusting him with the investigation. ## Stats **Storm Giant** (MM 156) with Charisma 20, Wisdom 18, Insight +9, Persuasion +10, Korolnor Scepter abilities, innate dream/sending spells. %%
