They're not wrong, Danzig is the name used for pretty much every other country. Gdansk is used by the Polish (And MAYBE other parts of Eastern Europe. Can't confirm.) We probably should have elaborated earlier on what we meant. I also can't speak for the rest, but I didn't do research for this RP, it was just something I knew from previous study.
Though, I do suggest looking into Danzig~! Its a city with a very interesting history~!
You're overthinking it. Gdansk is just the Polish name for the city. A Pole would call it that. Danzig is just the more historically relevant name, so the city is still known as Danzig. The area has a long history of being independent, and passed between Poland, Germany/Germanic states for a long time. Its proper Prussian land, but now we're entering a complicated/sensitive issue that I don't think an RP forum is in this mood to handle
Also, yeah, remove Kebab is the true goal of any Pole. I almost made her Winged Hussar theme
Her Soul Gem is Teal and is on the ribbon her chest
Nationality: Polish
Personality: Serafina is always upbeat and filled with energy. The amount of energy and pep in her step she displays is merely a fragment of her true potential. If the full power of her upbeat happiness was to be released, the world itself would be changed forever. As one would expect from someone as energetic as her, her happiness is often infectious. It is really hard to be pessimistic and or sad around her, and one of her smiles is sure to make everybody who sees it smile as well.
Of course, Serafina isn't all smiles and sunshine. She understands the world around her, and is well aware of the horrible dark things that are around it. Her faith in her fellow man is quite low, and isn't willing to trust anybody easily. She definitely isn't an optimist, but calling her a pessimist would be wrong as well. She hopes for the best, but expects the worst. Needs a hug.
Serafina's blood and soul are for Poland. Poland will always be number one in her heart, and she believes that one day Poland will return to the global powerhouse it once was. While the past few hundred years have been dark, with a few incredibly bright moments, Poland will achieve another Golden Age in the future.

Wish: "To return my physical body to the state it was the day prior to the accident that killed my mother"
Biography: Serafina was born to a wealthy family in the city of Poznań. The children in the Wawrzaszek family have been serving in the army for as long as the family can remember, and Serafina wasn't expecting anything else. From a young age she trained physically and mentally for her future in the service. Serving her country was the highest honor Serafina could think of.
When she wasn't training, she was taught History, especially that of Poland. She was told the long history of the former superpower, and how it has been bullied over the years by its neighbors. Of course, she isn't searching for revenge (Germany got plenty of that), but she has a general dislike and distrust of Germans and Russians. She isn't fan of most foreigners in general, outside of Americans, though she isn't hostile to most. Tourists are fine as they help the country, but anybody who plans to immigrate to Poland must learn to assimilate.
Outside of this, Serafina was a pretty normal girl. That was, until she got into a car accident with her family. Her father and eldest brother survived, but her mother and youngest brother didn't. The accident also caused a spinal injury that didn't allow Serafina to move any part of her body below her torso. Obviously, in this condition, all of her hopes and aspirations were gone.
She lamented over the death of her relatives, as well as her injury for months. The doctors said there would be no way for her to regain movement in her lower body, and the world that was so bright before became bleak. There seemed to be no hope for Serafina, at least until she met a strange space ferret named Kyuubey.
Of course, she understood that this deal was going to be shady. Nobody is going to allow you to wish for anything without the deal being heavily in their favor. Serafina made sure to word her wish as perfectly as she could.
With her body back to the way it was, Serafina could continue working towards her goal of serving her country. If anything, this was a plus, as she could defend her people now instead of when she was older.
Skills:
Physical Strength: Serafina is incredibly strong for a girl her age, and could probably beat up the average adult. Don't mess with this loli.
History: Generally speaking, Serafina knows basic knowledge about every place in the world, but knows just about everything when it comes to Poland.
Gymnastics: Serafina picked this up when she was little to give her more flexibility. She dropped it when she was injured, but picked it up right away.
Charisma: As a future soldier, it shouldn't be a surprise that Serafina is charismatic. Her speeches can change the tide of battle, and bring hope to those who hear her.
Threads of Fate: 6
Magical Weapon: Herself? A Koncerz sword
Experience: 3
Magical Ability:
Body Modification: Serafina has the ability to change any part of her body into something else, though most of her body can only be modified to a minor degree. The cost of magical energy goes into the initial change, and is rather cheap. It is possible to change the properties of her body, making it stronger/faster/more durable, and so on.
Left Arm: Serafina's left arm can be manipulated farther than other parts of her body. Her imagination is the only thing limiting it, and she has a very active imagination. Generally speaking, it is better to call her arm a "thing."
Right Arm: Serafina's right arm can be manipulated farther than other parts of her body. Her imagination is the only thing limiting it, and she has a very active imagination. Generally speaking, it is better to call her right arm a "thing."
There seemed to be plenty of action going on around the city. It isn't a surprise, Gdańsk was a very busy city all year long. Of course, with the resurgence of Witches, it was busy for all the wrong reasons. While Serafina should have been hunting for Witches, she preferred a nice day off. When the day was up, she'd be back into the fray, but for now, she needed to relax. Now, in a huge city like Gdańsk, what could a cute little girl like her do to relax?
Eat some ice cream with a good friend. Kazimiera Sienkiewicz came to Gdańsk around the same time as she did, and quickly struck up a friendship. Working alone might have been beneficial, but it could also lead to a quick end, and that wasn't really how Serafina did things. Working with another person still allowed her to get as many Grief Seeds as she needed, as well as reduce the risk factor. Having company was also nice, it made a boring life seem more complete.
Of course, Serafina wasn't actually at the location yet. She overslept, and missed her ride, so she had to take public transportation. Now public transit in Poland wasn't too bad, but it wasn't the preferred method of transportation. It also didn't help that the nearest stop was still a decent ways away, so that required Serafina to run as fast as she could to make sure her friend didn't wait too long.
With all the training she had been through so far, the running wasn't too bad, but she couldn't hold her excitement when she finally caught sight of her friend. Serafina ran faster upon seeing Kazia, almost as if she was running into her.
Actually, Serafina didn't slow down, and continued to speed up. She was crashing into her.
