She may be my favorite NPC of all time. If you haven't done the quest line in the Stitches you have to do it to meet this little lady.

Post picture please.

Not everyone interacts with every npc in the game.

Her picture has already been posted multiple times in this thread before you even commented...

Tyvm. I saw it after replying to your op.

My bad 🤗

She really is the very best. The voice acting especially was just superb.

MLGProPlayer

Agreed. Best new NPC they've ever introduced. I hope she's a recurring character.

She has a russian accent and she is a kitty cat, like a russian blue I'd say

Professor Tolkien was far from East Europe in his thoughts, so we don't have any race equivalent to Slavic people in classic fantasy, so...

That actually is not entirely correct.
Take a closer looks at the orcs and goblins in middle earth... there is a reason TES orcs are a bit patterned after mongol styles. But it is true enough that Tolkien kinda was a little... racist. I mean, just look at the setup, pale-skinned humans, halflings and elves as the good guys, and brown skinned orcs and "easterlings" fighting for mordor... which lies at the south-eastern edge of the "known middle earth"... but I guess the times he lived in also affected his outlook (remember, 1892-1973, so, growing up with the british empire and their propagated efforts against he "uncivilized" people of the world... and he wrote his works between WW1 and WW2 for the hobbit, and around and after WW2 for the LotR trilogy... at the fall of the "british empire" and when the whole european world looked with worry towards the changes in russia and the advent of the "bolshevik menance" with stalinistic russia and the beginnings of the cold war... easy enough to see the paralels, right?)

In any case, in TES the "slavic" niche is mostly covered by the reachmen... while the khajiiti are more trending towards "india" and "gypsy" styles...

Sooo, just met Sereyne. That's totally Tara Strong. All i hear is Twilight Sparkle with an accent.




.......yes she's adorable.

Gypsy is what I've always considered the khajiit. Just look at the Clan Chief costume - all those baubles, including rings on each finger and thumb, both hands! Love it. Want the rings in the crown store....

This one thinks that the comparisons to cultures in the game of 'outside world' are not necessarily helpful.

What makes a culture?

It's first of all the environment - that shapes how people they live yes. That leads to a set of values that are reinforced by stories and legends.

The way people dress - well that is down to the materials available to them, either locally or via their trade routes.

Our environment is harsh and thus many of us are, or have been in the past, nomadic. We tend to put a high cultural jewellery because it is something we can both carry with us and use as financial security.

The moons have a great influence on our lives so you will find them in our art, our stories and just our general preference for that kind of shape.

The way we speak yes - that is a mixture of cultural values, personal experience and things we have read in stories. Like that time every kitten started using the a certain rude word because they heard it in a popular story of the time.

Language, speech and culture are different flowers grown from the same root traveller.

Enjoy their sweet scents in Elsweyr and don't let the mystery of their origins tangle you in knots too much.

FYI after the quest shes under the couch thing around the other NPC's.

And she is really awesome, as are all the characters from the stitches quest line IMO.

Funny, i have a Russian Blue named Stash, and i was told they were a quiet breed. No one told Stash that, or Sereyne I guess

Well this one would certainly call The Witcher books classic fantasy

But on the subject of the accent yes. We all talk a little different. Depending on where we have travelled, where our parents have lived, how expensive the school we went to was or if we grew up on a sugar farm somewhere. There is no such thing as a standard Khajiiti accent no.

Indeed some have very little noticeable accent at all, as far as your lesser ears they might detect.

The Witcher is Slavic but central European though Poland, Bohemia etc. Were much different from the east.

She is cute, yes, but the drunkenness really isn't. I'm probably on my own here, but after losing one of my best friends to alcoholism last year, I find it anything but cute or endearing, to be honest.

I found myself wanting to persuade her to dry out, just like all those years trying the same with my friend. Alcoholism turned her from a strong, proud woman, to an idiot beholden to drink, with not a shred of self-respect left. Finding her dead on the floor just sealed it - it is NOT cute.

Sorry to rain on the 'Sereyne is cute' parade! All the Alfiq are cute, though.

I've finished the main quest a while ago and I've done some side quests but I have not done this one you mention yet. I'll be hunting th8s kitty down.😆

I love love love her! She's one of my favorite NPCs of all time along with The Augur.

Here she is.

Did another quest involving an ghost of an Alfiq, it start with an Altmer I think is a necromancer.
Interesting as this Alfiq runs around a bit while most others are stationary.

LadySinflower

I agree. She is the cutest little thing, and so funny! I also hope we see her again.

I never noticed khajiit accent could be comparable with a Russian one until my gf pointed it out while i was playing the other day.

For those asking for a picture:

Stonegrave

I think I would have enjoyed her more if you had a dialogue option to help her sober up at the end.

Over in the crown store forum I suggested an alfiq non-combat pet (er, companion) that makes comments as they follow you around, and she's the character that gave me the idea.

She does stand out, where so many other NPCs in this game and others tend to be cookie-cutter. So props for that, to the writers, artists, and voice actor who brought her to life.

I'm hoping for a follow up quest in one of the updates where we help her get back into the mages guild.

FierceSunshine

Now ideally, I'd like an adorable Alfiq follower that's like a non-combat pet but still has a set of cute witty lines. That would be fantastic. The introduction of the Alfiq has been a highlight of Elsweyr for me. Sereyne is just SO CUTE!

Urska

LOVE OF GOD... i hope she comes back... i wanna be teleported while she throws up more
maybe a heist to get her some more wine

I certainly like her as a character, but unfortunately she never even had a chance at being the best NPC in this chapter. ZOS ensured that by putting Rigurt the Brash, greatest of all Nord cultural ambassadors, in Elsweyr.

Have to say, Rigurt's quest was extra fun this time around

Still, Seryne's my favorite NPC so far. She's beautifully written, super adorable, and her voice actress does a fantastic job.
