* AmbiguouslyBi: By the hand of Riot's increasing tendency to not announce or confirm the champions' sexuality, instead just letting them be as Runeterra is [[NonHeteronormativeSociety free of sexual prejudices]].
** ''[=LoR=]'' reveals that she has a crush on Ekko, while her father comments she'll talk for hours about the Zaun Diva, making the latter very flustered in response.
** In K/DA, it seems like she has some undisclosed feelings for Akali. The same week she [[https://twitter.com/seradotwav/status/1308589400784281600 went for a ride on Akali's motorcycle]] to [[WatchingtheSunset watch the sunset]] and [[GirlsNightOutEpisode stood out all night]] for [[https://twitter.com/seradotwav/status/1308870478384291840 deep conversations with her]], Sera [[https://twitter.com/seradotwav/status/1309542669287264257 released a cover]] of Music/{{Tatu}}'s "All The Things She Said", a sapphic anthem about a girl who realized she might be into her best friend. [[BaitAndSwitchLesbians The feelings implied weren't further explored]], with no real answer either way of her orientation.
* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: Seraphine's biography states both her parents helped her reporpuse her [[{{Magitek}} hextech]] [[HeadphonesEqualIsolation dampener]] into the [[HoverBoard platform]], but only her father is seen working on it in ''[=LoR=]''. Her mother's status is left undisclosed.
* AnimalMotifs: Swirling PrettyButterflies are incorporated into ''High Note'' icon and projectile, and she wears [[WingsDoNothing wings on her back]]. FaerieCourt predictably exploits this trait.
* AntiEscapeMechanism: ''Beat Drop'' will slow, root and stun enemies hit, while ''Encore'' will [[CharmPerson charm]] them.
* AscendedFangirl: In K/DA, Seraphine was a next door girl posting covers on social media and working her way into stardom until she was discovered by her favorite GirlGroup. She got the chance to work with her artists in a dream collaboration for one song, an accompanying music video and a show.
* AscendedMeme: Star Guardian Seraphine owns a Skarner plushie, a nod to her [[{{Retcon}} former controversial connection to the brackern]].
* BadassFingersnap: Her basic attacks have her flicking magic at the enemy with a snap.
* BaroquePop: Accompanied by a variety of bowed strings, harps and harpsichords, Sera sings a gentle, emotional melody in her [[ImageSong champion theme]].
* BattleOfTheBands: It's not clear whether it's an official competition or not, but in ''[=LoR=]'' she's seen making preparations to perform at The Underground, the [[CoolestClubEver grungiest club in Zaun]]. When she finally goes on stage, she dazzles everyone. Not even her rival Scratch can help but to [[JawDrop drop her jaw]].
* BeachEpisode: In Ocean Song, not only is she [[WalkingSwimsuitScene dressed in summertime aesthetics]], but it's also implied this is the same girl from K/DA, taking a break from her successful breakout. Right now, she's all about resting under the sun and [[BusmansHoliday improvising tunes for the festival]].
* BilingualBonus: Her K/DA counterpart sings in English and Chinese in a couple of tracks.
* BlessedWithSuck: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]; [[PowerIncontinence she doesn't seem to be able to "turn off" her empathic senses on her own]], leading her and her family to create a hextech dampener to compensate. However, as she started listening to more of the motivating songs of her [[PowerCrystal hexcrystal]], she found a new path in life where she can use her abilities more proactively.
* CharmPerson: Her ultimate ability, ''Encore'', unleashes a wave that captivates all enemies on contact, increasing in range if it comes into contact with any other champion.
* CheeryPink: A [[RoseHairedSweetie rose-haired]] GenkiGirl.
* ChildOfTwoWorlds: Her parents, two [[ImmigrantParents lifelong Zaunites]], sought a better life for their daughter in the [[ShiningCity City of Progress]]. Seraphine spent her childhood singing to the sounds of the bustling Piltover, such as the shanties of the Sun Gates and the whistling of apprentices, but growing up she felt something was missing in her melodies. Guided by the [[LockedOutOfTheLoop mysterious voice within the hextech crystal]] of her platform, she resolved to seek perspective in the Undercity, and refrains of resilience and ambition rang through her ears. As she spent more time in Zaun, she sensed the fear of the chem-barons, and the hatred of the spoiled Pilties above. Hoping to unite the crowds of the twins cities, Sera rode her platform onto the Entresol between Piltover and Zaun, creating a space for citizens from both worlds to mingle together and watch her perform. Nowadays, she's become the premier star in the region and is [[WideEyedIdealist determined to reconciliate the people against all odds]] with the help of her music.

->''"This one's for you!"''

Born in Piltover to Zaunite parents, Seraphine can hear the souls of others—the world sings to her, and she sings back. Though these sounds overwhelmed her in her youth, she now draws on them for inspiration, turning the chaos into a symphony. She performs for the sister cities to remind their citizens that they’re not alone, that they’re stronger together, and that, in her eyes, their potential is limitless.\\
\\
Seraphine is a Burst Mage/Enchanter hybrid champion who uses her music to strike down foes and support friends, her power growing stronger the more allies join in her performance.
* Her passive, ''[[FamedInStory Stage Presence]]'', has two separate effects:
** ''[[PhlebotinumOverload Echo]]'' replicates every third basic ability used by Seraphine, casting it again at no additional mana cost.
** ''[[PopularityPower Harmony]]'' grants Seraphine and any nearby allied champions a ''Note'' when she uses an ability, up to four per champion. Seraphine's next basic attack consumes all ''Notes'', gaining bonus range and damage for each one.
* With her first ability, ''[[MakeMeWannaShout High Note]]'', Seraphine sends out a musical note that explodes at a target location, dealing damage to enemies inside based on their missing health.
* Her second ability, ''[[ElementalBarrier Surround Sound]]'', inspires Seraphine and nearby allied champions with song, shielding them and briefly increasing their movement speed. If Seraphine is already shielded, all targets will also be healed based on their missing health, with the healing growing stronger for each ally affected by the song.
* Her third ability, ''[[MakeSomeNoise Beat Drop]]'', fires a soundwave in a target direction that damages and slows enemies it passes through. Already slowed targets will instead be immobilized, and already immobilized ones will be stunned.
* With her ultimate ability, ''[[CharmPerson Encore]]'', Seraphine takes to the stage and unleashes a captivating melody in target direction that damages and briefly charms enemies in its path, forcing them to harmlessly walk towards Seraphine; the range of the melody is increased for each champion it collides with, both allied and enemy. Any allied champions struck by the melody are hyped up, instantly receiving maximum ''Notes''.
\\
Her alternate skins include [[GirlGroup K/DA ALL OUT]] [[IdolSinger Seraphine]], [[ThePhoenix Graceful Phoenix Seraphine]], [[BeachEpisode Ocean Song Seraphine]], and FaerieCourt [[OurFairiesAreDifferent Seraphine]]. ''Legends of Runeterra'' exclusively includes [[LightEmUp Arclight]] [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Seraphine]], and ''Wild Rift'' exclusively includes [[StarPower Star]] [[MagicalGirlWarrior Guardian]] and [[EasternZodiac Mythmaker]] [[RighteousRabbit Seraphine]].\\
\\
In season 6 of ''Teamfight Tactics'', Seraphine is a Tier 4 Socialite Innovator. Her ''Encore'' ability projects her song in a line towards the largest cluster of units, dealing magic damage to enemies hit while healing and increasing the attack speed of allies it passes through. She was initially removed in season 7, but returns in the ''Uncharted Realms'' mid-set update using her Prestige Ocean Song Seraphine skin as a Tier 3 Lagoon Evoker Mystic. Her ''Serenade of the Seas'' ability shields all allies in a 2-hex radius and grants their basic attacks bonus magic damage on-hit for a few seconds.\\
\\
In ''VideoGame/LegendsOfRuneterra'', Seraphine is a 2-mana 1/4 Piltover & Zaun Champion that, when summoned, creates a random new 2-cost spell (one that you haven't already played) in hand. Once you've played 9+ different spells, Seraphine levels up, gaining +1/+1 and when you play a new spell that costs 2 or less, she plays a copy of it with the same targets. Her Champion Spell is Seraphine's High Note.

[[folder:]]
* AffectionateNickname: Her father, the [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Acoustician_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Acoustician]], tenderly calls her "Ser-Bear" and Scratch, [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/The_Zaun_Diva_(Legends_of_Runeterra) The Zaun Diva]], nicknames her "Songbird", [[OddFriendship sometimes in an affectionate way, sometimes to belittle her]].
* AirGuitar: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]]. While waiting for the opponent to make a play in ''Legends of Runeterra'', she will make fun guitar noises.
* AlliterativeName: '''S'''eraphine, the '''S'''tarry-Eyes '''S'''ongstress, and her ability '''''S'''urround '''S'''ound''.
* AmbiguouslyBi: By the hand of Riot's increasing tendency to not announce or confirm the champions' sexuality, instead just letting them be as Runeterra is [[NonHeteronormativeSociety free of sexual prejudices]].
** ''[=LoR=]'' reveals that she has a crush on Ekko, while her father comments she'll talk for hours about the Zaun Diva, making the latter very flustered in response.
** In K/DA, it seems like she has some undisclosed feelings for Akali. The same week she [[https://twitter.com/seradotwav/status/1308589400784281600 went for a ride on Akali's motorcycle]] to [[WatchingtheSunset watch the sunset]] and [[GirlsNightOutEpisode stood out all night]] for [[https://twitter.com/seradotwav/status/1308870478384291840 deep conversations with her]], Sera [[https://twitter.com/seradotwav/status/1309542669287264257 released a cover]] of Music/{{Tatu}}'s "All The Things She Said", a sapphic anthem about a girl who realized she might be into her best friend. [[BaitAndSwitchLesbians The feelings implied weren't further explored]], with no real answer either way of her orientation.
* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: While her father was revealed in a ''Legends Of Runeterra'' card, her mother is noticeably out of the picture with no explanation.
* AnimalMotifs: Swirling PrettyButterflies are incorporated into ''High Note'' icon and projectile, and she wears [[WingsDoNothing wings on her back]]. FaerieCourt predictably exploits this trait.
* AntiEscapeMechanism: ''Beat Drop'' will slow, root and stun enemies hit, while ''Encore'' will [[CharmPerson charm]] them.
* AscendedFanboy: In K/DA, Seraphine was a next door girl posting covers on social media and working her way into stardom until she was discovered by her favorite GirlGroup. She got the chance to work with her artists in a dream collaboration for one song, an accompanying music video and a show.
* AscendedMeme: Star Guardian Seraphine owns a Skarner plushie.
* BadassFingersnap: Her basic attacks.
* BaroquePop: Accompanied by a variety of bowed strings, harps and harpsichords, Sera sings a gentle, emotional melody in her [[ImageSong champion theme]].
* BattleOfTheBands: It's not clear whether it's an official competition or not, but in ''[=LoR=]'' she's seen making preparations to perform at The Underground, the [[CoolestClubEver grungiest club in Zaun]]. When she finally goes on stage, she dazzles everyone. Not even her rival Scratch can help but to [[JawDrop drop her jaw]].
* BeachEpisode: In Ocean Song, not only is she [[WalkingSwimsuitScene dressed in summertime aesthetics]], but it's also implied this is the same girl from K/DA, taking a break from her successful breakout. Right now, she's all about resting under the sun and [[BusmansHoliday improvising tunes for the festival]].
* BilingualBonus: Her K/DA counterpart sings in English and Chinese in a couple of tracks.
* BlessedWithSuck: Set up but presently [[SubvertedTrope subverted]]; [[PowerIncontinence she doesn't seem to be able to "turn off" her empathic senses on her own]], leading her and her family to create a [[{{Magitek}} hextech]] [[HeadphonesEqualIsolation dampener]] to compensate. However, as she started listening to more of the motivating songs of her [[PowerCrystal hexcrystal]], she found a new path in life where she can use her abilities more proactively.
* CharmPerson: Her ultimate ability, ''Encore'', unleashes a wave that captivates all enemies on contact, increasing in range if it comes into contact with any other champion.
* ChildOfTwoWorlds: Born and raised in [[ShiningCity Piltover]] after her [[ImmigrantParents Zaunite parents]] moved from the Undercity, Seraphine spent her upbringing yearning for some kind of connection to Zaun. Nowadays, she sees herself as a [[WideEyedIdealist champion of unity and reconciliation]] for the people in the twin cities and dreams of bridging the gap betweem them with her music.
* {{Combos}}: Seraphine has several abilities that are perfectly functional on their own, but are drastically more so when combined with the right teammate:
** ''Surround Sound'' normally only shields Seraphine and her surrounding allies, but if she already has a shield when it's casted, she also heals everyone shortly after. On its own, the healing will only trigger when she uses ''Echo'' to double-cast it[[note]]or if she gives herself a shield with something like Barrier or Locket of the Iron Solari[[/note]], but if another ally (e.g Janna) shields her before she casts, even the single-cast version will heal, while the Echoed version will heal ''twice.''
** Similarly, ''Beat Drop'' normally only slows enemies hit. When it hits a target that's already slowed (such as when she double-casts with ''Echo''), it will instead root them, or if they're already immobilized[[note]]rooted, knocked up, stunned, feared, charmed or anything that prevents them from moving freely under their player's control[[/note]] or grounded [[note]]not prevented from moving, but stopped from using jumps, dashes or blinks by skills like Cassiopeia's ''Miasma'' or Singed's ''Mega Adhesive''[[/note]] they're stunned instead. If an ally can slow the enemy for her, then a single hit can root them in place, while a double cast can root them then stun them as well, while an enemy who can immobilize or ground the enemy (like Morgana or Singed) can set them up for an additional stun even from a single cast.
** Building on the above, ''Encore'' will charm enemies hit, rooting them for a duration, setting a follow-up ''Beat Drop'' to extend the crowd control. Additionally, if Seraphine builds Rylai's Crystal Scepter, one single cast of ''Beat Drop'' will root the targets as the item's slow is applied before the skill effect.
** In ''Legends Of Runeterra'', Seraphine and her related cards are a great addition to any spell-based deck as her main mechanic consists of copying new 2-cost spells.
* CoolBike: She's seen riding a moped to Zaun in [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Acorn,_the_Hextechnician_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Acorn, the Hextechnician]] artwork.
* CosmicMotifs: The starry-eyed rising star of Piltover and Zaun who wears a single star under her right eye. Her clothing also draws inspiration from stars in a subtler way (see her cutoff shirt, gloves and white stocking, or the [[EverythingsBetterWithSparkles glittering texture]] of her dress) and her name means "the burning one". Also, in Star Guardian, the VibrantOrange of her palette works with splashes of purple to emulate the colors of twilight.
* CostumeEvolution: ''Legends Of Runeterra'' [[HiddenDepths shows]] Seraphine’s on and off stage looks in the beginning of her career. In her level 1 artwork, she’s seen in a casual, private setting tweaking her instruments and dressed in modest Piltie workwear, while her level 2 card depicts her performing in a Zaunite nightclub, wearing a preliminary prototype of her IconicOutfit. In comparison to her current [[ImpossiblyCoolClothes exuberant appearance]], this style emphasizes the leather and simple fabrics of Piltover by adding belts, straps, gloves and a corset of such materials. Additionally, as it is implied her hextech [[HoverBoard platform]] is still in development, [[AdaptationalWeaponSwap she relies on her guitar to perform]].
* CrowdPleaser: A wholesome take on this trope. Gaining external approval is not her main motivation, but it is a great indication that the audience is having a good time. Seraphine wants everybody to enjoy the show and thanks to her [[MagicMusic powers]], they will. It's also the name of a related spell in ''[=LoR=]''.
* CrowdSong: In the short story "Standing Room Only", by the end of her performance, Sera got the whole audience harmonizing to a [[{{Improv}} made-in-the-moment song]].
* TheCutie: Idealistic, loving and painfully caring, Sera's deeply empathetic and believes in the power of music to bring the people of Piltover and Zaun together. Additionally, she always plays the [[TheHeart kind-hearted girl role]] in every skinline.
* DaddysGirl: Sera and her dad share such a wholesome relationship. He even gave up his own musical dreams to raise her little girl.
* DiariesAreGirly: In K/DA, Seraphine pours her heart out on the pages of a journal, documenting the highs and lows of rising to fame. The pages are full of watercolor illustrations, doodles and handwritten song ideas. On the other hand (or universe), Star Guardian Sera runs a VlogSeries about the challenges of [[BreadEggsMilkSquick friendship, high school and saving the world from eldritch creatures]].
* EarlyBirdCameo: K/DA ALL OUT Seraphine came out into the world for the first time in June 2020, nearly four months prior her official champion reveal.
* ElementalBarrier: ''Surround Sound'' is a [[MakeSomeNoise sound-based]] shield and heal in game.
* TheEmpath: Seraphine has the strange ability to hear the "songs" of those around her, something [[BlessedWithSuck she originally treated as a burden]], as it manifested as constantly HearingVoices. However, this allowed her to hear a "song" hidden deep within hexcrystals, and now embracing its call to harmony and peace, she's moved onto using her ability to make songs of her own to help sway the world in unity. Several of her in-game interactions have her commenting on the songs she hears in other champions -- for example, she describes [[NiceGirl Lux]] as sounding "like a rainbow", and [[PsychopathicManchild Jinx]] as being unpredictable, but fun.
* EverythingIsAnInstrument: Her champion theme incorporates the clock ticking from Schala's academic setting in Piltover and the sounds of blacksmithing from Roland's workshop in Zaun as percussion.
* FacialMarkings: She has a light blue star under her right eye, which translates into different marking depending on the skin.
* FamedInStory: A young, rising star in Piltover and Zaun.
* FanCommunityNicknames: In-Universe; just ask her "Sera-fans".
-->'''The Zaun Diva''': No chem barons, no wardens, and NO Sera-fans!
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her skirt is cut unevenly revealing a petticoat and her stockings are different in length, color and fabric. Justified as [[TextileWorkIsFeminine she handmade her outfit]] to try and mimic Zaunite punks' style.
* TheFashionista: In the [[OurFairiesAreDifferent heavily political]] [[LandOfFaerie setting]] of Faerie Court, Lady Seraphine of the Summer Court is a master of courtly manners, and is known for her skillful makeover talents. She's seen [[TheMakeover yassifying]] a beetle during her recall animation.
* FirstNameBasis: She calls a lot of characters by their first name, including the intimidating Zaun Diva and the president of her fanclub.
* FlowersOfFemininity: She wears flower pins on her cutoff shirt and brass vines over her stockings, and her speakers are shaped after flowers too.
* ForHappiness: She wishes she could sing about rainbows and smiles and everyone would sing and be happy. She's a [[InLoveWithLove hopeless romantic]] in Star Guardian and really, really wants Xayah to save Rakan, too.
* GadgeteerGenius: The exact extent is unclear, but Seraphine is generally pointed to being very good with tech. Her parents were "[[MrFixit hextech acousticians]]" who designed the "hexcoustic" device to dampen Sera's out-of-control telepathy, and all three were involved in turning it into her hovering stage. In ''Legends Of Runeterra'', she's seen tinkering with a hextech guitar as her instrument, and related artwork implies she's greatly involved in the backstage technical aspects of her performances.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Seraphine takes the stage as a melodic mid-lane mage whose potential only increases when allies are around, especially strong in team fights. She's perfectly designed for team players who enjoy helping others and bringing people together.
** Players can hear each other's souls thanks to the [[{{Leitmotif}} sound indicator]] for ''Harmony'', and Seraphine can project these songs in the form of ''Surround Sound'' to make everyone feel good and [[CombatMedic ease their pains]].
** Any player hit by ''Encore'' will be captivated, for better or for worse. Allies will harmonize to the song, extending the skill range; enemies will drop their weapons and become ''friendly'', [[MindControlMusic hypnotized]] by the beauty of Seraphine's words.
** When her hovering stage [[PhlebotinumOverload gets overloaded with hextech energy]], it will replicate the latest spell she casts. And that's how ''Echo'' works.
* GenkiGirl: The bubbliest and brightest performer in Piltover and Zaun. To an annoying extent, [[FanHater some]] might add.
* GirlyGirl: As one of the most feminine female champions in the game, you'll find a lot of FemininityTropes here. Also, she's always this when [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl paired]] with the [[{{Tomboy}} strong, rebellious personalities]] of Akali in K/DA and Scratch in ''[=LoR=]''.
* HardWorkMontage: Her level up animation for ''Legends Of Runeterra'' shows her tuning her guitar and testing the equalizer in preparation for a performance at The Underground.
* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: [[BlessedWithSuck Unable to bear the cacophony of voices in her head anymore]], Seraphine's parents devised a hextech dampener in the form of headphones. In peace and silence, however, she met a [[LockedOutOfTheLoop mysterious voice deep within the crystal]]. Some time later, after getting a hold over her powers, the dampener was repurposed into a hextech platform to serve as its polar opposite; instead of shutting down the music around her, it now serves as an amplifier to project it.
* HearingVoices: A musical variation. She can sense people's emotions and hear their souls in the form of songs. It's actually PlayedStraight when she finally makes contact with voice within the hexcrystal of her dampeners; in reality, a hexcrystal is the [[HiveMind crystallized collective consciousness]] of a species that communicates by [[{{Telepathy}} telepathically]] [[StarfishLanguage singing]].
* HiddenDepths: ''[=LoR=]'' is widely recognized in the community for its contributions to CharacterDevelopment, and Seraphine's one of the lucky champions to get a place among the cards. The [[{{Backstory}} early stages of her career]] [[CharacterizationMarchesOn are explored]] [[{{Flashback}} through the various artworks]], revealing some details about her character that were previously underdeveloped or only implied as she prepares for her first gig in Zaun;
** She is a [[GadgeteerGenius skilled tinkerer]], building her own instruments and brainstorming about her hextech stage. She also plays the guitar and uses it as her primary performing tool when playing in Zaun.
** When she travels between Piltover and Zaun, Seraphine uses a [[CoolBike moped]] for transportation.
** She has a [[LoyalAnimalCompanion pet squirrel]], Acorn, who helps with the repairs of her performance equipment.
* HoverBoard: She rides a hovering hextech platform, functioning as a stage that she either sits or stands on, not only as a nifty means of transportation but also as an amplifier to project her singing. Designed by Seraphine and her father, it was built from her hextech dampeners after she gained control over her powers.
* IconicOutfit: A controversial one. Loved and hated, Seraphine's appearance was probably the most broadly discussed topic in 2020 among the community. Critics of her looks state [[AnachronismStew she doesn't fit in either Piltover or Zaun societies]], whereas supporters argue that [[FlashyProtagonistsBlandExtras she must stand out as a popstar]]. Regardless of either opinion, the history of her outfit will follow her wherever she goes.
* IdolSinger: Runeterra's very first pop star. As a cute teenage girl who sings and dances to entertain the crowds of the twin cities, Seraphine definitely checks all the boxes.
* ImYourBiggestFan: Seraphine really loves her followers.
-->'''Fanclub President''': Hi Seraphine, I'm Millie, I'm your biggest fan, OKAY BYE!.\\
'''Seraphine''': Hi [[FirstNameBasis Millie]]! [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin I'm YOUR biggest fan]]! Okay, bye!
* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O11UcwRctAE&ab_channel=LeagueofLegends Her champion theme]], unofficially titled "Perfect". In "Standing Room Only", Sera makes the lyrics as she connects with the audience, tapping on the souls of Schala, a Piltovan student whose thesis got rejected for the sixth time in a row, and Roland, a Zaunite silversmith with money issues. The result is an [[SelfEmpowermentAnthem empowering, self-love song]] about accepting one's flaws and taking the time needed to overcome self-doubt and anxiety.
* {{Improv}}: Her songwriting technique by excellence. Sera goes on stage and allows herself to commune with the crowd's souls, making the melody and lyrics up [[TheEmpath as she feels]].
-->'''Seraphine''': Some songs start with a rhyme, some with a rhythm... mine starts with the crowd.
* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: Her flashy style really makes her stand out among Piltovan and Zaunite champions. Music/LadyGaga’s infamous [[EdibleThemeClothing meat dress]] and Music/EltonJohn’s feathery attire were [[https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/lbohdz/comment/gnsqdjq/?context=3 some inspirations behind her looks]].
* ImmigrantParents: Seraphine's parents are Zaunite, but they decided to leave the undercity and move to Piltover upon learning of her mother's pregancy, looking for a brighter future for their baby.
* InnocentBlueEyes: She has huge blue eyes and a naive, hopeful personality.
* ItIsDehumanizing: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]; despite not making a proper appearance in the game, ''[=LoR=]'' Seraphine will refer to her hextech platform as a female, out of respect for the voice inside.
* KaleidoscopeHair: K/DA ALL OUT Seraphine has different haircolors depending on the form you choose, representing different stages of her musical journey: she starts out with pink hair as an [[IndiePop Indie artist]]; then it's half pink and half blue as a Rising Star; and it's finally completely blue with a purple gradient once she reached Superstardom.
* KindheartedCatLover: She’s the owner of a white cat named Bao in both K/DA and Star Guardian universes.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Her ImageSong became this for gameplay necessities. In game, whenever an allied champion is nearby, an instrumental version of her champion theme will play, indicating her passive ''Harmony'' will grant ''Notes'' for these allies. "Perfect" gets remixed for every skin to match the thematic vibe, with the exception of:
** K/DA ALL OUT Indie, Rising Star and Superstar, which adapt "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CohZ0grl52k&ab_channel=Seraphine-Topic POP/STARS]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rnu83PtOQfc&ab_channel=Seraphine-Topic Made Me This Way]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VTkBuxU4yk&ab_channel=LeagueofLegendsSuperstar MORE]]".
** Star Guardian, which adapts "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izHyKdrSKvo&ab_channel=PorterRobinson Everything Goes On]]".
** And Mythmaker, which adapts the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7h1u5eUkjg&ab_channel=LeagueofLegends Lunar Revel 2023 theme]].
* LGBTFanbase: In-Universe; so far, a good portion of the self-proclaimed known Sera-fans are on the queer spectrum. [[LipstickLesbian Caitlyn]] will gasp in fascination when encountering her in game; AmbiguouslyBi Ekko and his non-binary friend Shomi, the [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Dropboarder_(Legends_of_Runeterra) Dropboarder]], were spotted in her shows; and ''VideoGame/ConvergenceALeagueOfLegendsStory'' introduces Hawk, a Zaunite who danced the night away in the front row at one show, and her partner Vox, who dyed her hair to mach Seraphine's.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: She made contact with a mysterious singing voice hidden within her hextech crystal, [[https://twitter.com/JeevunSidhu/status/1321936795597066241 but she doesn't realize it's actually a "dreamsong"]], the manifestation of the brackern souls and consciousness.
* LongHairIsFeminine: Longest hair in the game, tied with Zoe. It's half her model.
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: Different {{Ridiculously Cute Critter}}s in different universes:
** In ''Legends Of Runeterra'', it's her pet squirrel, Acorn, the Hextechnician. He is said to be the heart of the hexcoustic operations, even if one would never find his name credited in the blueprints or the songs.
** Bao, her white cat, appears in K/DA and Star Guardian universes.
** And in Star Guardian, she's aided by Treble and Bass, her {{Familiar}}s. Like most magical pets in this universe, they are the [[EmpathyPet embodiment of her dynamic personality]].
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Gathering enough ''Notes'' from her passive (up to 20) can result in a barrage of damage.
* MagicIdolSinger: A magical IdolSinger. With her bright, colorful appearance, big musical theme and a massive in-universe following to her name, Seraphine hits many beats surrounding this concept, merged with a bit of hextech to boost her magic and her singing.
* MagicMusic: Much of what Seraphine gets done is through singing, amplified by her hexcoustic technology to impair enemies and rally together allies.
* MakeSomeNoise: While Seraphine ostensibly wields MagicMusic, [[https://twitter.com/RiotPrismaPrime/status/1362466112495964160 Rioters describe her powers as functionally more akin to this]]. Sera's abilities come from the sound waves of [[SuperScream her voice]], [[BadassFingersnap fingersnaps]] and other noises amplified by her hextech platform.
* MeaningfulAppearance: In the spirit of reuniting the twin cities, Seraphine tailored her current stage costume in a mixture of their youthful fashions. It's specifically made off [[PimpedOutDress Piltovan garments]] and customized in a [[FashionableAsymmetry Zaunite sense of style]]. She turned a run-of-the-mill white [[GiantPoofySleeves puff sleeve shirt]] into a crop top with [[CosmicMotifs star-like]] edges, a motif present in her [[HighClassGloves gloves]] and collar too. The skirt of her [[GracefulLadiesLikePurple purple dress]] is cut unevenly to reveal a petticoat on the side, and both stockings are asymmetric in every way; the left one is purple [[EverythingsBetterWithSparkles covered in sequins]], longer with a clean edge, whereas the right one is plain white, shorter with the starry edge. Accessories like the [[FlowersOfFemininity flower pins]] and the [[PrettyButterflies insect brooch]] on her shirt, the vines on her legs and the wings on her back draw inspiration from Zaun's [[ArtNouveau organic style]]; on the other hand, her microphone and hoverboard display the [[ArtDeco neat geometry]] of Piltover. On top of it all, Sera dyes her hair like the undercity punks, except she goes for a [[LighterAndSofter lighter, pastel tone]].
* MeaningfulName: In Judaism and Christianity, the seraph is a celestial being ranked in the highest choir of the angelic hierarchy. The seraphim watch over God's throne as they continuously sing to His Holiness. Seraph, seraphim and Seraphine all come from the same Hebrew word, meaning "[[CosmicMotifs the burning ones]]" or "the glowing ones."
* MicDrop: The taunt animation for her K/DA skins.
* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: As Seraphine's emphatic senses grew, she was able to "sense songs too private, too personal, for any ordinary person to hear," which only added to the overwhelming cacophony [[PowerIncontinence she was exposed to on a regular basis.]] For a specific example, she seems disturbed by [[MadArtist Jhin's]] song in particular.
-->'''Seraphine''': Such a perfect four-four, but also... so wrong...
* MusicalAssassin: Seraphine's kit allows her to damage enemies with her music more than Sona or Bard, with one aspect of her passive allowing her to rally ''Notes'' around herself and her allies. Use abilities enough around enough teammates, and the bonus damage she can dish out through basic attacks can get pretty wild. On top of that, her weapon of choice is, well, [[ImprobableWeaponUser her hextech stage]].
* MustHaveCaffeine: Her level 1 artwork for ''Legends of Runeterra'' shows her with no less than five cups of fresh coffee in her room as she's working.
* NeverSayDie: Despite being a killable unit in game, her death voice lines sounds like fainting in the middle of a show, at worst. In ''[=LoR=]'', she talks about disappointing her dad and ruining her act when killed or defeated. This reinforces the naive, innocent nature of her story.
* NiceGirl: Sera sees music as a means to bring the world together, and with her ability to hear the souls of those around her,and her talents in making songs of her own, she's determined to make it happen. Even when she decides to get sassy towards her opponents, her tone is more [[SpiritedCompetitor playful]] than salty.
* NonconformistDyedHair: Seraphine's natural hair is dark brown, but she dyes it pink in an act of artistic expression. Her iconic pastel, pink hair is also part of her costume, and a nod to the fashion in Zaun --the quintessential WorldOfTechnicolorHair in Runeterra, unlike Piltover. [[https://twitter.com/iheartbunnies/status/1578801402377572352 This storytelling detail is meant to reinforce the feelings of athenticity and relatability]].
* NotTheIntendedUse: Competitively, Seraphine ran into a similar quirk as Sona in that, while her supporting power was highly valued during mid-late game, [[MagikarpPower her early game is so dangerous]] that she effectively needed babysitting just to scale to a practical degree. As a result, professionals often play her in the position of a bot carry, building support items, but having a strong early support of her own (usually a peeling tank like Braum, Alistar, or Galio) that could keep her safe.
* OddFriendship: Seraphine is musical peers with Scratch, the Zaun Diva, a ''loud'' punk rocker with explosive stage presence. Despite [[PublicHaterPrivateFan appearing seemingly at odds]] with Seraphine's much softer tone and aesthetics, most of the interactions between the two are on the amicable side, at worst entailing a FriendlyRivalry of sorts, but more often featuring them being supportive of each others' careers.
-->'''The Zaun Diva''': You put on a real show, [[AffectionateNickname Songbird]].\\
'''Seraphine''': You too, Scratch! Just think what we'd sound like together!
* PepTalkSong: Whether you're a college student whose thesis was rejected six times, or a blacksmith struggling to make ends meet, remember: YouAreNotAlone, [[TheFutureWillBeBetter you got this]]. Or at least, that's what Sera sings about on "[[SelfEmpowermentAnthem Perfect]]".
* PerformanceAnxiety: She began performing "nervous beyond words," and even as she's developed more of her outgoing persona, she appears to still have a bit of stage fright. One of her lines has her [[BlatantLies deny this]]... followed by [[MirthlessLaughter a laugh that doesn't exactly exude confidence]].
* PinkMeansFeminine: The dominant color of her design. It's the color of Seraphine’s [[LongHairIsFeminine super long hair]], which is half of her in-game model. Its pastel tone conveys her [[NiceGirl nice]] and [[TheCutie tender]] personality.
* PopularityPower: In game, ''Harmony'', ''Surround Sound'' and ''Encore'' work this way; the more people gather around, the more powerful. It's further explored in Star Guardian comics, where she's seen fighting shadow creatures ''by performing''. As the crowd harmonizes to Seraphine's melodies, her power grows stronger.
* PowerGlows: Her hextech stage will glow when her ''Echo'' passive is up.
* TheRedMage: While her kit has plenty of offensive and support-based tools, Riot insists that she's primarily meant to be a solo midlaner, not merely a support. In practice, her gameplay is about landing wide [=AoE=] abilities that can be bolstered when she's with her team, but mainly to deal damage towards her enemies.
* RoseHairedSweetie: A fairly nice and excitable teen with pastel pink hair in several iterations, including her classic design.
* SuperScream: ''High Note'' and ''Encore'' are abilities based on Seraphine's voice. Especially the latter, for which she takes a deep breath before delivering a lively long note.
* SelfEmpowermentAnthem: Her champion theme is a peculiar example. Inspired by a crowd's determination to overcome doubt and fear, Sera [[PepTalkSong encourages her fans]] to embrace their flaws and faults, and to not be held back by them in order to enjoy the best things in life.
* SignificantWardrobeShift: The leather-based Piltovan outfit from ''[=LoR=]'' pales in comparison to the striking, stage costume she wears in ''League of Legends''. As she became more and more popular in both cities, she ditched her previous garments in favor of the glittering, performative fit she's so controversially known for. It just makes sense for an artist's costumes to go crazier as they grow, doesn't it?
* ShoutOut: To [=ChilledCow=]'s Lo-Fi Girl. Seraphine's level 1 artwork for ''Legends Of Runeterra'' was heavily inspired by the relaxing atmosphere of this girl's studying room.
* SimpleYetAwesome: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Seraphine's mechanics rely on landing wide and forgiving skillshots, allowing players to quickly understand her gameplay. With them, she has some very solid damage, healing/shielding, and crowd control to her name, all packaged in a fairly straightforward way. However, she's priced 3150 BE, a tier for champions with steeper learning curves before mastering them, in comparison to more approachable, accessible options. In other words, she has a pretty low skill floor and a medium-to-high skill ceiling.
* SnotBubble: In a ''Wild Rift'' icon.
* SquishyWizard: While her kit is well-rounded with mage and support abilities, but without her crowd control to keep enemies away or the defensive power of ''Surround Sound'', she's also very easy to take down.
* StepfordSmiler: Don't let her ever-present [[GenkiGirl upbeat, cheerful personality]] fool you. It's all for show. In reality, she's constantly worrying about her audience's togetherness, doubting herself, her skills and capability to unite Piltover and Zaun. Of course, she can't let them know.
* TastesLikePurple: Sera’s magical hearing allows her to sense people’s souls as songs, and to see colors in sounds too.
* TextileWorkIsFeminine: She doesn't only sing and dance, she also makes her own clothes!
* TrueBlueFemininity: Light blue is the recessive color of Sera's palette, present in her [[InnocentBlueEyes eyes]], accessories and instruments. In ''[=LoR=]'', shades of blue are more prominent in her design.
* VibrantOrange: In Star Guardian, orange was chosen as her [[ColorCodedCharacters main color]] to convey Seraphine's cheerful disposition.
* VirtualCelebrity: All packed with social media accounts, a verified artist profile on Spotify and a music video collaboration. Seraphine's arrival to the game was very different from previous champion rollouts. She was added to the K/DA lineup as part of their transmedia comeback, being publicly established and extensively advertised via several [[CharacterBlog social media]]. The community saw her evolve from bedroom artist to K/DA's confident collaborator in the span of four months, gaining a legitimate fanbase on her rise to fame and into the game.
* WeaponTwirling: During her channeling, she twirls her microphone for a few seconds.
* WideEyedIdealist: Piltover and Zaun share deep historical, social and cultural connections, as the former rose from the foundations of the latter, literally and figuratively. Piltover's thriving economic and commercial development is, to a certain extent, the reason for Zaun's poor quality of life. Long story short, they don't truly get along. Enter [[ChildOfTwoWorlds Seraphine]], who's convinced her music can bridge the gap eroded from years of corruption, brutality and neglect.
* WingsDoNothing: She has wings as part of her stage costume, [[RuleOfCool which are just for show]]. Subverted in Faerie Court, as they do appear to be functional in that universe.
* YouWillNotEvadeMe: ''Encore'' charming crowd control' will make enemies peacefully walk towards Seraphine's position.
