Seras Victoria (anime)

"I am... TRUE UNDEAD! Alucard gave his blood to me!"

- Seras Victoria

Seras Victoria (セラス・ヴィクトリア, Serasu Vikutoria) is the main character of the Hellsing anime series.

Seras was turned into a vampire by Alucard to save her from a would-be fatal gunshot wound in the chest, that he also caused while shooting the Cheddar Priest. She acts as the point of view character for the audience. Seras is a Draculina, a term used to refer the female members of the Dracul bloodline, since she has been turned into a vampire by Alucard.

In both the Anime and the OVA, her seiyu is Fumiko Orikasa. Seras' English voice actor in both series was performed by K.T. Gray.

Physical
Seras is an attractive young woman with orange hair cut into a flare cut and blue eyes (red after turning into a vampire by Alucard). She had a fairly broad-shouldered torso, yet maintained a very voluptuous and buxom figure, which was further accentuated by the fact that she is considerably shorter than virtually all of her allies.

Clothing
She usually wore an almost tight Blue buttoned shirt with a dark blue turtleneck and pockets with a matching mini skirt and dark grey belt, long dark grey stockings, ankle fold black boots, and white gloves and a red bandana on her right arm that has the Hellsing badge with Gold small pauldrons on her arms. In episode 9, during the raid on Baobhan Castle, she was seen supporting black sunglasses with this outfit. She wears a blue shirt with a dark blue vest and a dark grey-ish blue utility belt. She wears a blue cargo pants and a dark blue boots with white gloves. She wears a sleeveless double-button up turtleneck, thigh high boots, and an opera gloves. A pink jacket with pockets, a red beanie, a white shirt with red stripes, a khaki, and a black shoes. She was only seen in this form when she disposes many ghouls on the Subway, shortly before meeting Anderson for the second time. She wears a denim vest, a black tank top and a collar, a black chelsea boots with jeans and a news boy cap. Later on, in the end of Episode 4, the color slightly changes; her cap is now dark magenta, a blue denim vest with a dark blue tank top and a blue jeans with brown chelsea boots. She wears a pink hoodless windbreaker, a pair of jeans and chelsea boots, and a news boy cap and black shades. She also wears an evening red gloves, a red tank top, a brown belt with a black skirt, a brown boots. She only wore this outfit when she discovers Helena dead by the hands of Incognito.

Personality
The story is told primarily from Seras' point of view, allowing to act as more of a narrator. She is more aggressive than her manga/OVA counterpart as, on her first meeting with Alucard in the first episode, she first shoots him. In the next episode, she talks back to both Integra, for mockingly telling her to not drink the blood of her employees, and Alucard for constantly calling her by her nickname. In the 8th episode, her impulsive personality can also be observed when she mockingly speaks to a mercenary and bends the barrel of his weapon without hesitation after he made fun of her. Nevertheless, she is still extremely loyal and returns the empathy of those who respect her.

She is empathic to characters who respect her such as Walter, Peter Fargason and Helena and loyal when she rushed to stop Incognito from cutting Helena's head and staying at Alucard's side while his body was disappearing after he told her to run from the place.

Seras also struggles with the temptation to drink Alucard's blood, thus fully realizing her vampiric powers, something she does in the last episode of the anime. However, she drank his blood when Alucard was apparently "dead" and as Incognito stated; "even if you drinks his blood, you will never become a true Nosferatu." but overall, she struggles to drink anyone's blood and the one she came close to drink their blood to was Peter Fargason, a father figure to Seras, she only managed to lick the blood in his jaw, but that's it, the reason was apparently, she was becoming something "non-human".

However, when she's trapped or, is being sexually harassed, she can quickly lose control and goes berserk, an example of this is in episode 6; Seras was trapped by dozen of ghouls and later, destroys almost all of them after losing control when a ghoul's saliva catches her eye and in episode 13; Paul trapped Seras, and tries to convince her to join his side, only for Seras to headbutt him and later, kicks him.

Mr. Victoria
In episode 8, Seras visits her old apartment. On the drawer can be seen photographs of her father, a policeman, with a younger Seras. It is implied that Seras was raised only by her father in the anime, as there is no woman in the photos and as she apologizes only to her father, not mentioning her mother. She is then interrupted by Harry Anders, who claims to be a friend of her father.

Alucard
Alucard seems to be rather patient and accepting of Seras' refusal to drink blood. He mentions Seras' decision as an answer to Integra scolding him on taking a fledgling. He states that she is incomprehensible, along with humans. Seras appears to be extremely loyal to him, disobeying his order to draw back as to help him against Incognito.

At times, Seras seems nervous and uneasy around Alucard, mainly due to his constant berating about her being a pathetic vampire during the early days of Seras' vampire life. However, she demonstrates great loyalty for him that transcends the actions of a slave obeying and serving a master.

Integra Hellsing
Her relationship with Integra Hellsing is strained and professional in the TV series. It's purely employee-employer with a degree of prejudice on Integra's behalf. Despite that, Seras makes it her duty to protect Integra and even shows regret when she could not save her from Laura's attack. Seras' loyalty to Integra might be determined by Alucard acting like a bridge between her and his master. In the 10th episode, after observing Alucard's reactions during Integra's surgery, she voiced the conclusion "The master of my master".

Seras, for her part, has no ill feelings for Integra; she seems to respect Integra, even if it's just for being the director of Hellsing. In fact, she probably feels more than just respect; when Integra is in danger in episode nine, Seras puts her life on the line against Walter. She is also clearly horrified and overwrought when Integra cuts her own throat; in episode 10, Seras blames herself for not being quick enough to save Integra.

Walter C. Dornez
Walter was highly respected by Seras and was also her mentor as an elder. Walter often cared for and encouraged Seras as the butler of the Hellsing family. She respects Walter so much that, even when Walter's trying to kill her, due to being hypnotized by Laura, Seras does not try to hurt him when she could've, but she instead tries to talk with him and snap him out of it. Walter has apologized many times for that incident, to which, Seras says there's no need to apologize.

Helena
Seras looks up to her and Helena inspires Seras to realize that she is a vampire. Despite this, Helena seems to hate the Hellsing Organization, as she claims to have lost many friends to their "butchery" over the years. On the other hand, she appears to hold no personal grudge towards Seras. When Helena dies, Seras was distraught at not being able to save her, but Helena comforted the young Draculina, telling her not to be sad as she was now finally able to die.

In her last words, she told Seras to be a loyal and worthy companion to her master and to destroy Incognito, warning of his trap. After Seras left, Helena's remains were destroyed when her home caught fire and burned down. Her final wishes were realized when Seras helped Alucard defeat Incognito and his minions, thus avenging Helena and allowing her to rest in peace.

Peter Fargason
Peter was the one who's kind and accepting of Seras' nature, aside from Gareth and others, he has a very deep connection to Seras and he acts like a father figure. He works closely with Seras to train her to become a good soldier and to bring out her amazing talents. When Fargason was shot and killed by a British Sniper, Seras got so angry and killed many ghouls and also, shot the Apartment room where the Sniper was sniping Fargason. She seems to cry blood after killing them.

Gareth Henderson
Seras seems comfortable with Gareth, responding quickly if she was ordered by him, after all, Gareth is one of the few people that welcomes and accepts Seras' vampiric nature. He is understanding and teaches her how to aim properly and kill vampires. When Gareth died due to the hands of Alexander Anderson, Seras was shocked and hated Anderson ever since.

Paul Wilson
Seras was really creeped out by Paul's obsession for her, telepathically communicating with her, and tries so hard to get her to join his side. Paul encourages Seras to discover her new identity as a vampire, well, he says that then says "maybe with me" and tells her that she's not human. Paul claims that Seras is a servant, like him, but Seras, after spitting on his face, says that unlike Paul, she's a true undead.

Incognito
Though the two never talked to each other that much, Incognito's action in episode 11, in which he devours Helena, Seras was visibly disgusted by his actions and her hatred for Incognito only increased when he temporarily kills Alucard, calling him a "bastard" after he explains that she'll never become a true Nosferatu, even if she drinks Alucard's blood.

Incognito sees Seras the same way he sees Alucard, and calls her powerless even after having Alucard's blood, and threatens her by saying that he will chew the meat from her bones, though this never happened and Incognito instead left her with Alucard's decapitated head in episode 13, the reason was, she was apparently going to die anyways.

Enrico Stivaletti
Though the two never talked, Seras feels a little sympathetic to him after Stivaletti screams Mick, saying that his lover's not in this world, anymore.

Cheddar Priest
When they first met, Seras thought the priest was a normal human, but when he showed his true nature, Seras despises him, due to the fact that he was the one responsible for making her D-11 team into ghouls, she says that she'll blow his brains out.

Harry Anders
Anders investigated the FREAK chips' and questioned Helena, taking Seras with him for protection. He was killed when his car exploded, the circumstances of which are unknown. It is to be noted that Anders claims that he had been acquainted with Seras' father, though this is likely just to get Seras to defend him if anything goes wrong when he questions Helena.

Overview
Although she primarily uses weapons such as Harkonnen, Seras is well-trained in hand-to-hand combat and can easily take down opponents using brute strength, as shown in Episodes 12 and 13 when facing against the powerful FREAK zombie. It isn't stated how well-trained she is or what techniques she knows. She demonstrates some maneuvers and attacks such as kicks and karate chops that suggest that she is taught in some kind of martial arts. Specifically, she put Jan Valentine in a hold, preventing him from moving. She has strong legs and can run very fast, even faster than bullets. But without a doubt, the biggest example of her unique strength is in episode 6, while in a rage, she destroys almost a few dozen ghouls in mere seconds.

Abilities

 * Seraspunchingghoul.pngSuperhuman Strength: As a former police officer, Seras is well-trained in hand-to-hand combat and can easily take down opponents using a combination of brute strength and technique, as in the case of Jan Valentine. Specifically, she put the vampire in a hold, preventing him from moving, despite his strength. She demonstrates some maneuvers and attacks such as kicks and karate chops that suggest that she is taught in some kind of martial art. Under extreme stress, she can go into a berserk rage and destroy a few dozen ghouls in mere seconds as seen during the Valentine brothers' attack. Despite having a slight frame and little weight, she has phenomenal lifting strength and load-bearing abilities, but her limbs come under none of the normal strain from heavy weaponry worth several hundred pounds, and such objects do not crumble when carried. Furthermore, extremely high-recoil and normally turret-fixed weapons like the Harkonnen I afford no such problems to Seras, even though powerful muscles would afford her little help without a strong footing. Before going on one of her earlier missions, she questioned her team's choice in giving her a cumbersome weapon, only to discover how light it felt in her hand. In a later episode, she demonstrates her strength as a vampire by damaging the barrel of a Hellsing recruit's weapon by simply twisting it. These both serve as examples of Seras' strength.
 * Third Eye: This clairvoyant-like sense lets her penetrate illusions and see things from afar as well. This ability also gives her superhuman accuracy, as she was able to snipe Jessica.
 * Regeneration: She has the regenerative ability of an average vampire, but blessed weapons such as Anderson's bayonet, doesn't regenerate; her wound from episode 3 when she catches a bayonet through her throat, was still visible, though the wound disappears many times throughout the series.
 * Soul Absorption: A basic vampire ability. By draining a person of their blood, Seras gains dominance over their souls, and inherits their memories and minds as they fuse together. Though she only drinks medical blood.
 * Daywalking: Other vampires operate in the dark, because of a presumed weakness to light. Seras however seems to have no problem with sunlight, she was seen walking normally under the sun for a few episodes.

Weapon

"Harkonnen" 30mm Hellsing anti-median cannon
The Hellsing ARMS Anti-Tank Cannon 'Harkonnen', often referred to as simply "The Harkonnen", is the preferred firearm of Seras Victoria. She is the only one who uses it, and is probably one of the few who can because of its weight; Seras' sharp precision and superhuman strength are ideal for using it. The Harkonnen is stated by Walter to have enough firepower to destroy nearly anything other than a main battle tank, as well as being superior to the majority of military weapons.


 * Caliber: 30mm uranium ammunition
 * Total length: 1900mm (1.90m)
 * Weight: 83kg
 * Magazine: 1 bullet
