As player character

Serena is a young girl whose appearance changes based on trainer customization. The player can choose between three different preset appearances, choosing between Serena's hair, eye and skin color. Of these details, the skin color cannot be altered once chosen. These defaults are otherwise identical. In most media and her stock art, Serena uses the default middle option with gray eyes and long honey-blonde hair.

Serena's hair is styled in a loose ponytail with center-part bangs. Her head is covered by a red felt hat with a black ribbon tied around the base. This hat is thick and has a wide brim going all the way around her scalp, folding upwards. The hat is accessorized with a pair of white cat-eye sunglasses with black lenses. Serena has tall rounded eyes with gray irises and three visible lashes on each eye. Her thin eyebrows show no color.

She wears a blouse and skirt combination that the game describes as a high-waisted outfit. It is composed of a dark grey sleeveless blouse with a black peter pan collar and a red high-waisted pleated skirt with cargo pockets. Her black over-the-knee socks go up to her mid thigh, and lack any decorative pattern. The black high top shoes have darker black laces and gray outsoles. The sneakers' lateral outers are decorated with pink Poké Ball markings. Serena is depicted with a pink quilted tote, closed with a half-moon shaped latch.

Serena wears her black Mega Ring on her left hand. This Mega Ring is decorated with a gray symbol around the Key Stone similar to that of the Mega Evolution symbol.

As a non-playable character

Serena's appearance as an NPC is nearly identical to that of her center default player character appearance. She trades the hat and glasses for a long curly ponytail in the same honey blonde color.

Pokémon X and Y

Serena appears both as a playable and non-playable character in Pokémon X and Y. When playing as Calem, Serena will appear as one of the player's friends and rivals.

As the protagonist

Serena is a girl who recently moved into Vaniville Town with her mother, Grace. Her mom owns a Rhyhorn and Fletchling, the latter of which wakes Serena up at the start of the game.

As a non-playable character

Serena is a young girl who lives in Vaniville Town when the protagonist moves into town. Serena is the player's neighbor and their main rival, choosing the first partner Pokémon which is super effective against the player's. She is also the character who teaches the player and Shauna how to catch a Pokémon, catching a Bunnelby with the use of her Fletchling. Soon after, she can be seen in Santalune Forest with the other friends.

Serena is the child of two prominent Pokémon battlers, and is seen as one of the two best battlers of the group of friends, alongside the protagonist.

At Route 7, Serena battles with the player against Tierno and Trevor. She then helps the player defeat Team Flare at Glittering Cave to save the fossil assistant, and is given the fossil not chosen afterward. At the Tower of Mastery in Shalour City, Serena battles the player for the chance to get the Mega Ring.

The next time Serena battles the player is in front of the Coumarine Gym.

When the group of friends meets up and decides to go to the haunted area in Route 14, Serena is the only one of the friends to not go to the house, claiming that she has to train. She then helps the player defeat Team Flare at the Poké Ball Factory.

The next time Serena battles the player is in front of the Anistar Gym. After the player defeats the gym, she will ask for a rematch, but cancels her challenge after Lysandre announces his plan of eradicating all life forms not a part of Team Flare. She then helps the player defeat Team Flare get to the legendary Pokémon and defeat Team Flare for good.

As the player traverses Victory Road, Serena appears by a derelict altar and demands one last battle before their final challenge.

After the player enters the Hall of Fame and battles at the Battle Maison, Serena can be battled in Kiloude City, at which point she has obtained a Mega Ring of her own. When defeated for the first time here, she will give the player an Absolite and tell the player to meet Professor Sycamore in Anistar City. She can be battled at Kiloude City once per day.
