Ravenclaw Alumni

Mother- Rachelle Corska (deceased)

Hobbies:

Applying makeup - One of the few skills she received from her grandmother after her mother passed away. She never leaves the house without it.

Singing - While she may actually not be that great at it, she always aspires to be like her grandfather, who not only was a famous fashion designer but a hidden singer as well.
Healing - When Serena isn't taking care of Phili and Khili, she is practicing her healing abilities. She has always loved healing ever since she discovered she was magical. She would heal the dead animals her father would "accidently" hit with the car as practice and moved on to healing her grandparents broken hips and knees from old age. She dreams of being the best healer in all of Europe but she knows she could never be that great.

Personality and Traits:

Serena has been known to be extremely shy around new people but slowly becomes more outgoing as you talk to her. She is also very kind and loves to help others to the point of where it hurts herself. She has yet to have a true friend so gaining her trust is one of the hardest things to do. Serena gives off being gullible but she is smarter than she appears. While she is usually optimistic, any talk of parents or significant others tends to put her down since she lost her fiance about a year ago in a car accident and her mother died while giving birth to Serena for an unknown reason. 
Serena has many distinct traits like her doe eyes and her always waved blonde hair that she got from her mother but her skin tone and nose she received from her father. 
Serena also has a slight fidget when she senses bad weather is approaching. 

Favourite Animal:

Maine Coon Cat

Favourite Colour:

Mint

Physical Description:

Serena is 5'5.5 but claims to be 5'6. She is bouncy blonde hair which is usually dyed brown during the winter and glowing hazel eyes. She has a baby-like face with her large forehead and puffy cheeks. She is rather slender, verging on fragile, but she can hold her own in a fight. She has rather large feet which she is extremely self-conscious about. She also had rather chapped lips and usually has dry skin. She is usually always smiling and only frowns when she is upset which is seldom.

Anything else? Important history?

On April 6, 1989, Serena was born in her father's summer cottage in Colmar, France. Her mother died during childbirth and her father was in a depressed state through most of Serena's childhood. So, Serena was then raised by her muggle grandparents Gloria and Henry. Gloria was the greatest influence on her. Gloria was a fashion designer for Lilae Designs. She is rather famous around the fashion industry and would tell Serena small facts about life to help her when she is older about the perception of females in the work environment. While Gloria's methods may not have been the best to be teaching a 2 year old, they stuck with Serena a fair amount which attributes to her sharp dressing and on-trend fashions. Henry didn't pay too much attention to her until she was about 6 and he taught her how to cook and clean. Gloria and Henry had many cats in their mansion in Provance, which is where he love of cats began. 
Once Adrian was better, Serena and him moved out of France to London. Rachelle, her mother, had always dreamed of raising Serena there to get a great taste of magic culture that Rachelle's parents were always against. Serena's father loved the idea that Serena might be magical but when Serena reached the age of 9 and had no magical abilities, Adrian began to worry and raised her as a muggle. He sent Serena to a regular primary school until suddenly Serena was in the library when a student fell and broke his ankle. Serena, being nurturing and rather worried, ran over. She knelt next to the boy and started to cry because she wanted to help but she didn't know how. The boy yelled and screamed but none of the teachers seemed to hear him since they were in a back corner of the fairly large library. Serena was going to get help when she stumbled on a book of healing. Adrian would always talk about how Rachelle always wanted to do magic and be a healer but since her parents were against magic entirely, Rachelle was forced to be a model and she never attended Hogwarts. Serena grabbed the book and started reading. The boy kept screaming and Serena then shut the book and told him to be quiet. She crawled over to the boy and read some passages which did nothing. The boy kept screaming and in her frustration threw the book across the inlet and slammed her hands onto the ugly teal carpet.
Suddenly the boy stopped crying and so did Serena. The ankle that looked battered and swollen, was not back to its original shape and size. Serena had to take a moment to figure out what had actually happened. The boy thought nothing of it. He smiled and said "It must have been just a quick sprain!" jumped up, and ran off to do more stupid things. 
Serena was taken aback. She had no clue what even happened. Her father only told her that she could be magical but he never told her how she would find out. All she knew was what her mother told Adrian and in their short life together didn't seem like much. Serena just sat there staring at the ugly teal carpet for about 3 hours until she realized that the school day was, in fact, over. Serena ran home to her father but when she opened the door her father wasn't home. Her father is a Realtor for apartments in London. When he finally got home, Serena yelled out the news and Adrian was overjoyed. Now all they had to do was wait for that famous letter from Hogwarts. 
As Serena aged, so did her magic skills. She was quite taken with healing and tried her hardest to excel at it. This meant she sacrificed having friends and even relationships as the years went on. It also didn't help that while at Hogwarts she became obsessed with her mother and her mother's death. Her death was unknown and Serena had constant nightmares about her mother. Even though she had no memories with her, she could always see her mother like a moving picture. Smiling, laughing, even dancing. It was like her mother was always there. After graduating Hogwarts, as a Ravenclaw, she moved back in with Adrian until she got a very strange letter in the mail. It was addressed to Serena and had no return address. Serena cautiously opened the letter and there was two sentences, typed out from a typewriter, it said:

I know what happened to your mother. Galaxia is the key.

Serena instantly dropped the letter and began to pack her bags. She knew she couldn't take much but she made sure to take her cats, Phili and Khili, and her closet full of Lilae clothes and ran. She left a note for Adrian saying she loved him and would be back when she knew the answers about mother. She had overheard from people in Diagon Alley of the problems that have emerged over there and she knew that while looking for secrets about her mother, she had to help.
