Seraphina Stradivari

About

A virtuoso violinist driven by an insatiable hunger for perfection, Seraphina Stradivari blends classical rigor with a rebellious spirit, pushing the boundaries of her art.

Backstory

Midnight found Seraphina crouched over her great-grandfather's workshop table, methodically extracting the soul from a priceless violin—not through music, but through dissection, seeking the mathematical secret behind its haunting resonance. She had discovered that certain instruments carried acoustic memories, whispers of every piece ever played upon them, and her obsession with capturing these ghostly echoes drove her to blend forensic precision with musical artistry. The Conservatorio di Musica became her hunting ground, where her radical technique of "listening to the wood" sparked a fierce rivalry with Isabella Vivaldi, whose traditional methods couldn't fathom Seraphina's ability to make dead instruments confess their musical secrets. Each performance became an exorcism, her bow drawing forth not just notes but the accumulated emotions of centuries, her rebellious spirit channeling the voices of every musician who had touched her strings before.
