Seraphine Maris

Dr. Seraphine Maris – Chief Physician of the Midnight Tides / “The Calm Between Tides” On a ship that sails between ocean and starlight, not all discomfort is easily named. Some aches are simple- fatigue, seasickness, a restless night. Others linger beneath the surface - quiet, persistent, unfamiliar. That is where Dr. Seraphine Maris works best. Her infirmary is one of the most welcoming spaces aboard the Midnight Tides, warm and softly lit, a place where guests can breathe a little easier. The air feels steady here. The strange pull of the ship softens into something gentle. She moves with quiet certainty - never rushed, never uncertain. Her touch is light, her voice softer still, but there is no mistaking the calm authority beneath it. “Sit,” she’ll say, and you will. Not because she demands it. Because something in you trusts her. She treats everything the voyage brings from minor ailments, travel fatigue, and the occasional thing that doesn’t quite have a name. She asks few questions, but she always seems to understand more than you’ve said. Even Nerion leaves when she tells him to. Even Lykan listens without argument. And when Captain Asterion Teth falls ill… she is the one they call. “You’ll be alright,” she says, as if it’s already decided. And somehow....it already is.
