BACKGROUND
Born into a family of designers, Serena came into the world on the second day of April. Lumiose, her first home, wasn’t part of the best memories of her life. By the age of five, her mother had moved her out of the city and to Vaniville. Without the usual hustle and bustle of life, Serena lived a quiet life with her mother Elise. While her mother worked hard on her designs, Serena's idea of a future changed.
Much like many kids her age, she took an interest in the world of Pokemon. Wanting to be the champion, she and her friends set off on their journey. After meeting Professor Sycamore, she and her friends picked their starters. Much like her personality, she chose the fire type Pokemon, Fennekin. Shauna, her best friend, had accompanied her at the beginning of their journey. Eventually, they split ways, finding their own place in the world.
The one person whom she looked to, almost as a reminder, was her neighbor. Calem had defeated her every single time, showing her time and time again that there was still room to improve. It wasn’t until after the fall of the infamous Team Flare, she started to realize that being the champion wasn’t her goal.
While trying to dismantle Flare, she was sure of only two things. One, whoever was leading the group, was severely ill. She didn’t understand his obsession with making the world beautiful, and she never would. The second, being just how fragile life was itself. One moment, she was confidently battling next to her friends, the next, running for her life as the Flare base started to crumble beneath their feet.
Even though the effects of the fall of Flare had set in, she still kept going full force. Finally, she decided to face Calem one more time. To beat him in battle was a sign that she was supposed to go to the very end, but in the end, it was Calem who took the crown of Champion.
The following months were a blur, as she tried to find her place. If she didn't belong in the league, where did she belong? After months of traveling, she made home back in Lumiose. Working under her fathers' fashion agency, she modeled for some quick cash, then turned to the design process. She had it in her blood, or at least that's what her mother told her. Her father Jacques, encouraged his daughter to keep up the hard work, so that she may take over the family business.
