She is haunted by what happened on Nandalon when the Xandor occupied the planet and struggles with nightmares. |

| Hobbies & Interests | Serephima loves literature and painting. She will occasionally sing, ini the privacy of her quarters. She loves music but does not feel that she has a good voice for singing. |
Personal History & Notes
| Personal History | Serephima is a Nandalone, a recently reclusive species of winged humanoids who are just now beginning to venture into space again after being conquered by a warlike race that they names Xandor, which is their word for monster. Serephima had just reached her full abilities as a Comfort Giver when the Xando attacked. Though urged to save herself, she remained helping with the evacuation, very nearly being captured herself. She managed to elude the invaders and boarded the last Nandalone ship to leave the planet before the Xandor blockaded it. She and the others settled on their colony worlds and began a war of attrition against the Xandor, managing to rescue as many of their people who had been left behind as they could. Serephima's powers as a Comfort Giver were greatly tested, as most of the females had been violated and had had their wings broken so that they could not use that ability to escape. Their stories haunted Serephima, who wished she could do more to help her people. This brought out a little known side of the Comfort Giver--the Protector. When Serephima was in Protector mode, her voice was not the soft dove-like tones most of her people know--it was harsh and shrill as a raptor. Her eyes also changed at this time, changing from the soft gentle amber they normally were, to a hard bright green. Serephima, in Protector mode, led the final raid that convinced the Xandor to leave Nandalon. The planet had suffered nearly as much as the people, but with care and paitience, Nandalon was restored to its former glory. When first contacted by offoworlders, the Nandalones refused contact. it took many years and much work by Serephima and other Comfort Givers to convince the people to trust again. |

| Service Record | This is Serephima's first posting. | |
| Medical | Serephima's primary training is in pshycology/psychiatry, although she is a proficient MD as well. In addition to her training on Nandalon, she trained with others off world, expanding her technique and qualifications. Serephima is an empath and a limited telepath, as are most Comfort Givers. She is very careful with the use of her gifts, never intruding into someone else's mind--the only exception being if the survival of a patient depended on her intervention. |
