20-year-old Sera: “I assure you all that the family has nothing to hide and is well prepared for their legal team to address such accusations directly. Mrs. Knox's actions do not reflect on the family, and any questions should be directed to our legal representatives.

[attr="class","chartl-item"]2011 (Age 14) The death of Mr. Knox’s parents was a strange time for her. She had not interacted much with the elder Mr. Knox, yet his praise grudging or otherwise, had given her great satisfaction. Grandmother had been harder to lose. Though she had always kept a distance, she was fond of the older woman. Much of her time was spent caring for her siblings and an Injured Mr. Knox, as well as her first forays into public speaking, as the media had no scruples about trying to ferret information out of her when they could ambush her.

Female anchor: Our reporters caught up with the Knox children, and the young Ms. Knox spoke on their behalf and had this to say.
[break]
13-year-old Sera: “The Knox family takes libelous statements quite seriously, and I advise that you maintain a respectable distance as a minor approaching myself or my brothers in such a fashion can be misinterpreted as a threat to our safety. I suggest you make any initial inquiries through the appropriate and respectful channels. Any public statement on the tragic loss will be made public in due course by our legal representatives. If you, please excuse us; we do not wish to be late to morning classes.”

Female Anchor: As expected of the Knox family, their angelic appearance is accompanied by impenetrable politeness.

She and the nannies often look after her little brothers, and when Mr. Knox is severely injured, she shoulders much of the responsibility for his care. While she does not mind, it deepens her negative opinion of Mrs. Knox.

[attr="class","chartl-item"]2004 (age 7) Mrs. Knox was likely pregnant with Bastian at the time of Sera’s adoption or very soon after. Before the end of the year, Bastian Knox is born.

He happens on Sera (Orla) at Bower House Orphanage, known for housing the unwanted children of noble and wealthy families. He decides to adopt her as his wife has not been able to birth an heir, and the girl has potential. Maybe a bit of pity for the blind girl being picked on by the other children.

[attr="class","chartl-item"]2002 (Age 5) Sera wakes up at the gates of Bower House Orphanage. She has no memories of who she is, where she came from, or how she got there. Nor does she know why she is blind though she is sure this is a new affliction.
