Since the start of the series, Serena has proven to be a kind and polite girl. However, in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', she was openly rebellious towards her {{kal|Grace|mother}}. She refused to wake up when her mother ordered her to, and gave a sassy response to her mother's call to watch the news. This tumultuous relationship was best demonstrated when Serena's mother made her practice {{p|Rhyhorn}} riding, which she had hated doing. However, their relationship is also very loving as shown in ''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]'' and ''[[XY053|A Race for Home!]]''.

While she genuinely cares for her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}, as well as the well-being of other Pokémon, Serena initially expressed little ambition towards becoming a full time [[Pokémon Trainer]]. In ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', however, she did attempt to capture a {{p|Corsola}}, which she thought was cute, but was unsuccessful due to Fennekin's type disadvantage and Fennekin's unwillingness to fight.

In ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', however, she did attempt to capture a {{p|Corsola}}, which she thought was cute, but was unsuccessful due to Fennekin's type disadvantage and Fennekin's unwillingness to fight. Later, having established a goal, she managed to capture a mischievous {{TP|Serena|Pancham}} who had the same objective as her, and have been shown to have a very trusting relationship since.


During her debut, Serena was uncertain what paths or career to pursue in life. Although she possessed a diverse and well-rounded skill set, she was undecided about what best suits her. Fortunately, her travels with {{Ash}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, and {{an|Clemont}} afforded her a chance to find herself and explore her options. In ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'' Serena began to think that not having an established goal was a problem for her future as a Trainer. After losing her first official Pokémon battle at Summer Camp to [[Shauna]] and her {{p|Bulbasaur}}, and seeing how passionate the Trainers around her were, Serena began seriously considering what she wanted to do with herself and her Pokémon. In ''[[XY047|Dreaming a Performer's Dream!]]'', Serena decided that her goal was to be a top-class [[Pokémon Showcase#Pokémon Performer|Pokémon Performer]].

Since establishing her goal, Serena has been diligently training both herself and her Pokémon, which made it quite a shock when she lost in the first round of their [[XY060|first]] Pokémon Showcase. After the Showcase, Serena strengthened her resolve to do even better, and to symbolize this, she cut her hair short.

After the Showcase, Serena strengthened her resolve to do even better, and to symbolize this, she cut her hair short. Serena's travels with Ash has established a more confident attitude, having taken his never-give-up will to heart, which later allowed her to turn a crisis that occurred in her second Showcase into an advantage.


Serena has been shown to have a phobia of the supernatural. When the group entered an abandoned house where a wild {{p|Espurr}} was staying in ''[[XY014|Seeking Shelter From the Storm!]]'', whenever the group was spooked by anything, she would openly assume the worst, or that a supernatural being was in play. Likewise, in ''[[XY038|Forging Forest Friendships!]]'', when Ash had been kidnapped by the {{p|Trevenant}} living there, she became worried that Ash would be eaten by them after Clemont told her the rumors surrounding the forest. This is seen again in ''[[XY072|Scary Hospitality!]]''. In such occasions, she often speaks without thinking, continually making assumptions about the scary houses that made Ash or Clemont cringe, and she would promptly cover her mouth when she realized what she had said.

Serena has a love for fashion and [[clothing]]. An early example of this is in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', when she spent time carefully selecting an outfit, and was troubled over which of two hats looked best. Serena then asked her mother, who selected a beret. However, Serena promptly tossed the beret aside and picked up the other hat, saying that whatever her mother did not choose was certain to be the cuter one. Later, in ''Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!'', Serena expressed excitement about visiting the clothing boutiques in [[Lumiose City]]. In ''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]'', she was eager to dress up in many different outfits while making her [[PokéVision]] video.

She has also displayed some skill in tailoring, slightly altering her Rhyhorn racing gear in ''Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!'', as well as being able to modify her Showcase dress on-the-fly in [[XY079]], when it was accidentally torn before her Free Performance.


Serena also seems to like baking and is quite skilled at it. An example of this was demonstrated in ''Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!'', when she stayed up late at night to bake cookies for Ash and the gang, which they seemed to enjoy. Also, in ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', she had baked some macarons for the group, but they were stolen by a {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}. In ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]'', she also participated in a [[Pokémon-Amie#Poké Puffs|Poké Puff]] baking competition.
