Lucifer is implied to be a duck or swan angel. This, combined with her resemblance to the avian Goetia, has led fans to speculate what kind of bird Sera might be based on.
So far, I’ve seen a swan, an eagle, a dove, and a snowy owl proposed as possibilities. I would like to nominate an additional candidate.
Sera is tall, with white plumage, long hair, and gorgeous eyelashes.

(If my theory is true; and the theory about Sera banishing, imprisoning, or assassinating Sir Pentious also turns out to be true…)

This is a secretarybird, the most alien-looking bird I have ever seen in person. It stands about four feet tall, and hunts lizards, snakes, and other small animals by walking along looking at the ground. It can strike prey with its beak, but often uses its long legs and claws.
I have read that secretarybirds often hunt in pairs or groups, but the two I saw were solitary.
Masai Mara, Kenya, July 2023.

This may not sound like much, but I just made my first analog art piece! Like, on paper!
And it's not even fanart!

I'm speedrunning my art portfolio right now to get into uni and that means experimenting with different media...
For this I used acrylic paint and then went ham with these 8 dollar glitter makers..
I don't really love how she looks but I'm glad the shiny effect worked!
