Biography

Seneca was someone who worked alongside Andarc under Walter in the Scarlet Moon Empire and would later aid in his investigation of Rune Cannons following his exile. She was always prepared with a snappy remark and had a refreshing, care-free personality, which contrasted greatly with that of the much more serious Andarc who she would constantly tease.

Knowing that Andarc kept a diary of the groups travels, Seneca would imitate him by declaring her intention to keep a diary of her own, surprising him greatly. She gave up on this after only a few days, regarding the experiment as "bothersome". Andarc would wryly note that Seneca's interests really lay with the contents of his own diary, which he kept private.

She had helped to take care of Walter's son, Kyril, from a young age and after Walter's death, abided by his wishes to continue to help him. As such, she would become something akin to an elder sister figure and almost a mother to the young Kyril. Kyril, too, regarded her in this light, although Seneca took umbrage to the mother comparison due to her age. She would continue to accompany Kyril on his journeys throughout the Island Nations and the Kooluk Empire.

As the group travelled together, she would begin to develop feelings for Andarc although she kept them hidden.
