Serena

Serena is one of the main protagonists of Chasing Beth (2021), the sixth game set in the Elsaverse, and she also features as a side character in some other titles, starting with Saving Chloe (2018), where she is one of the non-canon, alternative love interests. Serena works as a lawyer in a foundation that helps abused women; in her idle time, she is a house music DJ that goes under the stage name DJ Serena Beatz. After being secretly in love for a decade with her friend and former co-worker, Paul, she is currently in a relationship with Joel Dresden. Serena doesn't have any power, although she is well aware of their existence.

Character Overview
Serena is an attractive woman, with blue eyes and dark skin, and a distinctive British accent. She met Paul in college, when a teacher was mistreating her in class: even though they didn't know each other before that situation, Paul stood up for her, and they quickly became great friends. Paul was kind, smart, brave, and had a strong sense of justice, and Serena ended up falling in love with him, however, he was also broken by a traumatic past relationship and seemed unable to move on. After seeing him destroy a couple of promising relationships in college with other girls because he was still haunted by the way he was forced to end his relationship with Chloe in high school, Serena understood she could never be like that girl he was still pining for, and she decided to keep her feelings to herself and at least enjoy his friendship. As she is bisexual, Serena started to date multiple women, always telling them she wasn't looking for something serious; this way she felt she was being emotionally loyal to Paul.

After graduating in Law, Serena and Paul started working together for a small foundation in Sangrive that helps abused women. As best friends, they used to go to work early just to have some time for themselves, to chat and bond. They used to talk about everything, including their tastes in women and their favorite sex positions, all while Serena was still secretly hoping for him to be her man, someday. What she didn't know, however, is that he was also feeling something for her, although he never expressed it because he firmly believed she was gay and, deep down, he was still hoping for getting a second chance with Chloe. And, a decade after their forced breakup, that chance finally came, and Paul took it. In a matter of just a few days, he got reunited with Chloe and left his work, and Serena was left alone.

Miscellaneous

 * Even though Serena's character was originally intended to play only a side role in Saving Chloe, Tora Productions' writer, Tlaero, found the model Mortze created for her so attractive that she decided to adopt Serena as a recurring character and planned Chasing Beth to revolve around her, trying to depict Serena in a happier situation with another man.


 * Tora Productions' artist, Mortze, was also quite happy with his creation, and Serena was supposed to be one of the multiple love interests in the game The Science of Lust (2019) that he started to develop with another writer, Iksanabot, when Tlaero announced her sudden retirement in April 2019 . Serena features in the game's beta released in May 2019, but the project was abandoned shortly after.
