Serval

The free and rebellious eldest daughter of the Landau family. Once a close friend of Cocolia's, she is now a mechanic purely because she likes this job. In the Everwinter-stricken Belobog, she opened a workshop called "Neverstop" that puts business on hold from time to time for outdoor rock 'n' roll performances. And should anyone ask her about the workshop's profits... "This is just a hobby, dear. I'm not short on money."

This is the most talented mechanic in all of Belobog and rock star. Did we mention she's also the sister of Captain Gepard Landau of the Silvermane Guards? "Stop. Stop that. Keep the first part, and leave out the second part." "I'd like you not to gloss over my identity like that... I, Serval Landau, am no one's accessory." "...Oh, there's nothing else afterward? Okay. Let me chip in then: If something's broken, drop into the Neverwinter Workshop in the Administrative District to see me, any time." "What's that, you wanna hear some rock'n'roll? Well, that's even better — drop into our Neverwinter Workshop in the Administrative District to rock this city — with Mechanical Fever!"

Serval Landau owns a piece of land in the heart of Belobog's Administrative District — the Neverwinter Workshop — where she in theory makes a living from her mechanical repairs. But to be more precise, almost all of this genius mechanic's time is spent repairing and making improvements to various musical instruments... "Tsk, don't pay any attention to that magazine! I'm a reputable business owner..." "From geomarrow radiators to car engines — or even a Silvermane automaton — it's no trouble at all. As well as maintenance and renovations of ordinary appliances, I also provide a modding service." "Like fitting an external drill bit to a snowplow, or a ballistic trajectory calculator to a toaster... That kinda stuff." "Ah? You want to know how's business going? Hey, don't ask so many questions — you know I like to fool around with music in my spare time." "Anyway, I never planned on making a fortune... Life's too short. Why not plunge yourself into your hobbies?"

Serval was able to rekindle her passion for music after cutting off all connections with her family. This led to her prestigious workshop becoming a base for her to rock out — despite suffering constant complaints, this cutting-edge art style from before the Eternal Freeze is still sought out by hordes of hipster kids... "Oh, I give up! Can you trashy tabloids and your so-called "music critics" focus on what's important, please? 'Suffering constant complaints'... 'hipster kids'... My fans and I would dispute that!" "But I suppose it's true that Mechanical Fever is popular with youths — at that age, kids are either full of enthusiasm or are underappreciated..." "No matter what your mood is, you always have to vent sometimes. And rocking out with me just so happens to be the best way of doing that!" "...Just like what I did back in the day." "Ahh, it's fine! Don't worry. I was just suddenly reminiscing about the past..."

In days gone by, everyone knew that Serval Landau was the smartest out of all the Silvermane Guards — 80% of the rumors about the talented elder daughter of the Landaus are based around this fact. However those rumors were almost instantly replaced by a new piece of gossip a few years ago. Why was she, who had always been close with the Supreme Guardian, being fired from the armed forces with no prior warning? Does Serval hold a grudge about it? Everyone has their own theory. "The answer to the first question is simple: 'No comment.' This is the Silvermane Guards's top secret. I hope you understand." "And as for the second question..." "I... I don't give two hoots. Think about it. Is there anything better than living out a justifiably leisurely life? I prefer to say that woman helped me out — I really owe her a debt!" "In this world, it's better to enjoy the present moment... No, who am I kidding." "If our ends are already doomed, there will be no such thing as true joy."

Hi Trailblazer, the name's Serval Landau, I'm a Belobog mechanic. Of course, that's really just what I do on the side — rock 'n' roll is my main occupation.

Huh? You start work this early?

Signing off now! Time to get some songwriting going~

If we Landaus have one thing in common, it's that we're all stubborn in our own way.

If you wanna make sure you don't burn yourself out or stifle your creativity, then don't push yourself too hard at work~

Pela's got a lot on her plate — plus she also does volunteer work on the weekends sometimes. That's why we usually schedule Mechanical Fever's rehearsals at night.

Since I do rock 'n' roll full-time, I'd say my hobby is... work? What's wrong with that?

I always get people asking me how my workshop makes money when it's not trading. Use your brain! It doesn't!

Mechanics, research, and music are all things I'm pretty good at, wouldn't you say? But I guess making money's not on the list...

When Bronya becomes the supreme guardian, do you reckon she'll let me perform at Golden Theater? I'll re-arrange that "Supreme Guardian" stage show and make it a rock 'n' roll musical!

If he paid more attention to his affairs, it'd save me a lot of headaches... I guess I do create a few headaches for him too... Maybe we're even.

She's a flower-growing drummer and a great report writer. Name a more reliable girl. I'll wait.

Bronya's a good kid — you can tell she learned a lot from Cocolia. *sigh* It's been a while since we saw each other. I miss her.

The Cocolia I knew would sit on the roof and listen to my songs, but... not the supreme guardian.

Hah, that guy. One of these days he's gonna get busted by my brother.

Lynxy? ...She's more like me. Ah, don't tell my brother that, he hates hearing it.

Rock 'n' roll might be my only true companion...

Nice! I should write this into my next song...

That's it? I've peaked already?

Ta-da! Another one off the to-do list.

Just like being on stage, right Pela? I'll follow your rhythm.

*sigh* You again, Geppie? Leave some fun for me this time.

Ready, Lynxy? Let's rock!

*sigh* Your mother would be proud of you, Bronya.

Time for the main event.

Here to crash the party?

Pretty good crowd today.

This song's just for you~

The audience is waiting!

Let's rock!

Keep up with my tempo!

Turn up the volume!

That's it?

Not bad.

Ready to lose yourself?

Fight it or rock with it... my music conquers all!

The show... must go on...

Time for an encore~

Ah~ Ready to jam~

Can't stop the rock!

The best is yet to come!

Wow, good stuff.

Wow!

Never expected to find this here!

I'm getting the hang of this.

Wish I had time to examine its inner workings!

Huh, these targets will make for good practice~

There's inspiration in every glance and every breeze.
