[Human Remains: A Seras Victoria FST]
For those who don't know, Seras Victoria is the young police officer turned into a newbie vampire who works for the Hellsing Organisation in the series Hellsing. She used to be the comic relief sidekick before becoming a much serious and fascinating character through the story advances. She's one of the lead female characters, the other being Sir Integral Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, the human Master of the vampire who turned Seras, Alucard (aka Dracula).
This is a Seras Victoria fanmix following the Manga alone. There's going to be spoilers up the last chapter of the Manga to date (86, roughly the beginning of would be volume 10, the last of Hellsing). I want to thank mollypocket, kelles and raykat for helping me in the music choce and to my dear shahni for making the gorgeous covers (because I suck with graphics ;-;) Much ♥s!
★ Conversations with my 13 years old Self by Pink. [Lyrics]
"You're angry
I know this
The world couldn't care less
You're lonely
I feel this
And you wish you were the best
No teachers
Or guidance
And you always walk alone
You're crying
At night when
Nobody else is home"
"The pain you feel is real you're not asleep but it's a nightmare
But you can wake up anytime
Oh don't lose your passion or the fighter that's inside of you
You're the girl I used to be
The pissed off complicated thirteen year old me"
The Child Trouble. When she was young, Seras was witness of her parents' savage murder and survived. That experience traumatized her and made her become a violent, autistic outcast in the orphanage.
-- "Her teachers use to try and help her but she shut them out to the point they don't even make the effort anymore" --
★ Headstrong by Trapt: [Lyrics]
"Back off I’ll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong we’re Headstrong
Back off I’ll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong and this is not where you belong
I can’t give everything away
I won’t give everything away"
The Stubborn Young Lady. Seras grows up and chooses to be a cop like her father at all cost, dismissing any of the other chances and alternative paths. She's rebellious and determinate to have her way.
-- "Why is it you insist on becoming a police officer? You're quite the obstinate girl, aren't you?" --
★ Feathers by Man Man: [Lyrics]
"i know you need to find what you thought you left behind in a past life
i won't question why the only light that you have you give away
she feels like a stranger has come in the night and stolen her life and left her with this"
The Fateful Cheddar Night. One of her missions as a cop take Seras to the village of Cheddar where she meets Alucard for the first time and she's taken hostage by the vampire vicar. Alucard kills the said vampire and mortally wounds her with a shot giving her a choice: die as a human or live as a vampire. She chooses to "live."
-- "On a whim? No she chose to, of her own free will" --
★ Human Behavior by Björk: [Lyrics]
"If you ever get close to a human
and human behaviour
be ready to get confused
there's definitely no logic
to human behaviour
but yet so irresistible"
The Human Actions: Even as a vampire, Seras pretends to act as if she was still human. She doesn't act like she used to be before (see former songs) but as a newborn, confused little girl who is trying to mimic and cling desperately into her fading humanity. This is an obstacle for her as a soldier of Hellsing.
-- "Use your third eye. Forsake your human eyes. Those are limitations that go along with humanity. You, however, are no longer human." --
★ It's the Fear by Within Temptation: [Lyrics]
"It waits for the day, I will let it out
To Give it a reason, to give it its might
I fear who I am becoming,
I feel that I am losing the struggle within
I can no longer restrain it,
My strength, it is fading
I have to give in
It's the fear,
The fear of the dark
Its growing inside of me
They won, they will come to life"
The Vampire Side. Within Seras, there is the darkness and the fate of all vampires have to suffer. She knows she's changing and isn't the same person anymore, in mind and body, and to complete this change terrifies her. Drinking blood, specially.
-- "I don't know... But I always feel that if I drink blood, I'll lose something forever" --
★ Believe by Yellowcard: [Lyrics]
"Think about the love inside the strength of heart
Think about the heroes saving life in the dark
Climbing higher through the fire, time was running out
Never knowing you weren't going to be coming down alive
But you still came back for me
You were strong and you believed
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong. Believe.
Be strong. Believe."
The Soldier of Hellsing. Mostly about Seras and her relationship with the Wild Geese mercenaries. They defend the mansion bravely in volume 6 and volume 7, she becomes a sign of hope and savior for them and in turn she is inspired by their sacrifice and Captain Bernadotte's speech to keep on fighting.
-- "She'll come! She's sure to come back for us! That's the kind of girl our Mignonette is!" --
★ Sleeping with Ghosts by Placebo: [Lyrics]
"Hush
It's okay
Dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Cause soulmates never die"
The Man I Love: Seras has been grivously wounded and Pip rescued her. During his brave stand, Zorin gives him a deadly blow in the back. After securing Seras, Pip kisses and comforts her pain, ordering her to drink his blood and that way the'll crush them all together. Finally, Seras embraces her vampire's side. Not because of Integra, Alucard or herself, but due to Pip Bernadotte.
-- "Weep not, Seras. You're a tough fille. Why don't you feed from me? Drink of my blood and then get up... Let's defeat them as one, Seras." --
★ Attack by 30 Seconds to Mars: [Lyrics]
"I won't suffer, be broken, get tired, or wasted
Surrender to nothing, or give up what I
Started and stopped it, from end to beginning
A new day is coming, and I am finally free
Run away, run away, I'll attack
Run away, run away, go chase yourself
Run away, run away, now I'll attack
I'll attack, I'll aa-WHOOOAAAAAAAAA"
The Monster. After losing her
-- "With every ounce of our might en masse, together, you and I, will finish off the enemy once and for all!" --
★ Human Remains by Tom Mcrae: [Lyrics]
"The picture is burned at the edge
And youre looking away
Looking for whats next
And strange how through time we look the same
Your eyes and mine looking away
Too scared to see human remains"
"Our history is just in our blood
And history like love is never enough
And I recognise so much of you
In these eyes always so blue
Why always so blue"
True Nosferatu: After killing Zorin, Seras finally soars into the night with her own wings of freedom. She is not human anymore, she has forsaken that side, attaching to Pip's will and orders to become a True Nosferatu at last. Anderson, Millennium, Integra and Alucard recognized the change on her.
-- "Your eyes reflect the pits of hell! You have made yourself into something dreadful!" --
★ If you want me to by Ginny Owens: [Lyrics]
"Cause I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet
so if all of these trials bring me closer to you
Then I will walk through the fire
If You want me to
It may not be the way I would have chosen
When you lead me through a world that's not my home
But You never said it would be easy
You only said I'd never go alone"
Maker and Fledgling: This is to picture how Seras helps Alucard in his last battle with Anderson during volume 9. She stops a blow to his heart and resists the fire that is slowly starting to spread to her. Grateful, Alucard awakes and pushes her away. This song is a general despition of their relationship
-- "Go and conquer, Seras. Go with our Master." --
☆ Pills by The Perishers: [Lyrics]
"I hope my smile
can distract you
I hope my fists
can fight for two
So it never has to show
And you’ll never know
I hope my love
can blind you
I hope my arms
can bind you
So you’ll never have to see
What we’ve grown to be"
The Good Women of Hellsing: This is to depict Seras' and Integra's battle inside the Zeppelin and their moments and relationship in general through the series. The first speaks of Seras' protection and humor over the head of Hellsing. She has always reacted when she's in danger, flying or standing up to shield her. The second is Integra, mostly during volume 2 or 8, when Seras' facing her crisis as a vampire; Integra's there to explain and protect her, trying to ease her way into the unlife she has chosen. Both women are suffering of a loss of innocence and a coming of age, they aren't as "alright" as they pretend to be. This isn't mean to be a romantic song either.
-- "Let go of Sir Integra right now, monster!" --
☆ Invincible by Muse: [Lyrics]
"Follow through
Make your dreams come true
Don't give up the fight
You will be alright
'Cause there's no one like you in the universe
Don't be afraid
What your mind conceives
You should make a stand
Stand up for what you believe
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible
During the struggle
They will pull us down
But please, please
Let's use this chance
To turn things around
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible"
Captain and Soldier: After Integra leaves to face Major on her own, Seras battles with the werewolf, Captain, and is losing. She's about to give up when Pip's soul scolds her and orders her to fight back, snapping her just in time to save her life. Together, they fight once more the monsters and, after a great strategy and team work (Seras' brawl&strength + Pip's brains&willpower = WIN), they win the upperhand against their foe. Pip materializes from her body to stab Captain into his chest with a silver tooth after Seras destroyed his arms and caught his leg.
-- "This guy's a veteran, but we can beat him if we work together. So let's teach him a thing or two!" --
That covers everything important to date. Methinks.
