Serafina Haberdasheron
Background
Buxom supporting heroine of both Book 5 and Book 6 of Tycho Brahe's magnificent saga. Felthar the Moderately Handsome (later to become Felthar the Darkly Mysterious), hero of both tales, accompanies her as together they fight the evil wiles of villainous Elemenstor Gorg Stinkrot. Whilst Serafina started life as a perky, ditsy blonde with ridiculous assets, she soon sobered up to fit the darker tone of Book 6 and became a streetwise and cynically independent young woman with ridiculous assets.
When Serafina is first introduced, it is as an undergraduate who studies alongside Felthar at the Institute Of Accoutermentia in Ezermethalon. The wacky, action-packed tone of Book 5 sets them on a crazy wild-goose chase to find the Underpants of the Underdeep before their nemesis Gorg, and most fans believe that Serafina's character truly shines brightest here. When Brahe released the apologetically sombre Book 6, depicting Felthar's expulsion for illegal magic and his subsequent grittiness, many loyal fans cried out in outrage at the new incarnation of their beloved Serafina. Gone was the three-times winner of the prestigious Ezermethalon Under 19's Wet T-Shirt Contest; in her stead was some bitter stranger fond of breaking her enemies' noses and then punching them in the throat. For many Serafina lovers, this face-bloodying throat-punching rogue killed their image of her straight away. Serafina became a significantly less popular character as a result.
Having resolved the matter of the living nightstand and having been rescued by Felthar from the malicious Chair Brigade, Serafina went on to pursue romance with her long-time companion. However it was not to be, and after a few awkward dates they went their separate ways. Serafina went on to become a serving wench at the Pig's Annoyance, a position for which she was more than appropriately buxom.
Merchandise
Serafina, or her Book 5 incarnation at least, was remarkably popular with males aged 13-17, and in Japan especially a significant amount of unlicensed - and some licensed, as it was the time of the drinking and pill binge - merchandise was produced. These include such favourites as Serafina's Hot Love Express Power, and Serafina Real Life Size Interactive Love Doll. Serafina appears in many unlicensed and ridiculously out-of-continuity Japanese movies and manga with the also-ridiculously endowed, yet lesser-known Lopae of Hopea. Diehard Serafina fans have lobbied for an adult-oriented animated series to go with the new range of ELotH:TES adult novels, and it seems as though Brahe is beginning to cave to the idea.

Serafina is introduced in Book 5, and also plays a major role in the events of Book 6.
We first meet Serafina in Book 5 while she is working a booth at the Job Fair in the Student Union Building at Institute Of Accoutermentia. She was giving out free promotional bags of minor holding to promote the bag makers guild.
"Well, hello there," Felthar said to the cute young undergrad. "What's your name?"
"Serafina," she said with a smile and she held out one of her bags. "Free bag?"
A dark shadow passed over Felthar's face. He took a step back, and then balled his fist and punched her, hard in the nose. She crumpled to the ground, her hands over her face, shrieking. Several students from neighboring booths ran over to see what the commotion was all about.
"Serafina! Are you alright!?!" her friend said, kneeling next to her.
Tears streaming down her cheeks she sobbed, "I think he may have broken my nose."
One of the older male students turned on Felthar, "You nutfob arseholder! What's the meaning of all this then?"
Felthar looked taken aback. "Serafina, you say?" He blushed. "I could have sworn she said Stefarina."
