It was the middle of summer on Earth's calendar. The same day Tara was born in the Demon Realm, in a parallel universe in Heaven another baby was born that looked just like her with dark blonde hair. The child of an Angel woman named Lilim, and a Saiyan man named Parsley, would be named Seraphina. When she was a newborn baby, Seraphina was given a pendant for her neck with her name on it. As a baby, Seraphina was adventurous and curious always wandering off and around to explore whatever interested her young mind. Her parents would often find her and catch her before she got herself in any real trouble, but one day was an exception. When Seraphina was just over 2 years old, her family went on a vacation and toured a museum of technology in Heaven. It was filled with tons of artifacts and highly experimental equipment and machines. While her parents were distracted looking at another exhibit, Seraphina noticed bright strobe lights from another room. Curious as always, she wandered away from her parents to go to the lights, her parents distracted by the tour guide. Seraphina found herself in a large room with a giant machine in the center of it. The machine was the source of the lights with many whirling parts and bright buttons. Seraphina excitedly wandered to the machine, being too small for the distracted scientists to notice. The machine itself was a highly experimental and dangerous teleportation device. It was never used on a living creature before and it was still random as to where the thing in the machine would be teleported. Seraphina climbed over the safety rail of the machine and climbed inside of it. She was amused by all the flashing lights and whirling sounds. At this point, Seraphina's parents had noticed she wandered off and went to look for her. They were only mildly concerned as this happened pretty often, but didn't see her nearby and their worry started to grow. Meanwhile, the scientists started the teleporter up again, but when they looked back up they noticed Seraphina inside of it. They all began to panic. "There's a child in there?!? Turn the machine off! Get her out of there, now!" A scientist yells. He hits the emergency stop button, but, the machine doesn't stop. The machine gets louder and louder, causing Seraphina to cry. Her parents hear the commotion and the sound of their daughter crying and quickly rush into the other room with the teleporter. They're worry turns to panic when they see their only daughter inside of a strange machine crying. "What is that?!? Our daughter is in there! Turn it off, now!" Lilim scream hysterically at the scientists. Her parents continue to panic as they're powerless to do anything except watch their daughter cry as the celestial mechanisms of the teleport grow louder and louder. After a while, there's a bright flash and when it clears, Seraphina's cries have stopped and she is gone. When Seraphina looks around, she's in a somewhat familiar place, but it's also very different from the home she knew. She's in the suburbs of a city in what still looks like Heaven. Scared and alone, Seraphina starts crying again.

She cries for a few minutes before a woman comes from her house to see what's happening. She looks around and she sees a baby out in the middle of the neighborhood crying. She quickly rushes over to Seraphina and picks her up trying to comfort her. "There there, sweetie. Everything will be fine. How did you end up out here all by yourself?" The woman says in a warm, comforting voice. She looks to the pendant around Seraphina's neck and finds a name on it that she reads out loud. "Seraphina? Is that your name?" The woman asks. Seraphina however, isn't calming down and continues to cry. "Well, Seraphina, don't you worry about anything. We'll get you back to your home real soon, ok?" The woman says as she walks Seraphina back to her home. Her husband, Harold, hears the sound of the door opening followed by a crying baby and quickly gets confused. He goes to the front door and see's his wife, Penelope, going back into the house with a crying baby in her arms. "Penelope, who is that?" Harold asks. "That's what I'm trying to figure out. She was just outside by herself in the middle of the street. I don't know how she got there or who put her there, but I'm sure her parents are worried sick." Penelope says. Harold looks down at Seraphina's pendant. "Seraphina?" Harold reads. "I think that's her name." Penelope says as the two look back down at her. They report that they found Seraphina in their neighborhood to their nearby patrol. They begin a search party and make numerous announcements that Seraphina was safe and sound waiting for her parents to pick her up, but no one in the city claims her. After a year, she still isn't claimed and the word of her being separated from her parents has spread across the entirety of Heaven. In that time, Harold and Penelope had grown very close to Seraphina and cared for her as their own child. Seraphina also grew to know and love the two as her parents and they eventually called off the search when Seraphina was 3 years old. At age 6, Seraphina grew a large interest in watching cartoons and even anime. She was captivated by the heroes and stories she saw. Up until this point, Seraphina thought she was just an ordinary Angel. She tried to imitate something she saw on TV and tried to conjure a wave of energy. However when she did, a ki blast formed in her hands and she blasted a hole through her room wall with a loud explosion. "SERAPHINA!!!" Penelope screamed at her from the other side of the house. Seraphina froze is fear as the color drained from her face. Her parents quickly enter her room and see what she did. They seem equally as shocked as Seraphina was. "What... in God's name... happened...?" Harold asks. Seraphina slowly turns to face her parents expecting them to be furious with her. "Uh... it was an accident! I don't know what happened! I didn't mean to!" Seraphina desperately tries to cover herself for what she did.
