Serena (Japanese: セレナ Serena) is the female player character in Pokémon X and Y, and also serves as the rival in the same games if the player chooses to play as the male character. Her male counterpart is Calem.

If playing as Serena, the player character may earn the title of Grand Duchess by defeating most of the Trainers in the Battle Chateau.

Terminology

She is named Serena (Japanese: セレナ Serena) when she appears as a non-player character in the Generation VI games. The same name would be reused for merchandise and in the Pokémon Masters EX mobile game. Pre-release media for Pokémon X and Y referred to Serena as Yvonne (Japanese: ワイ Y).

In the core series games

Appearance

Serena along side her male counterpart, Calem, in concept art for Pokémon X and Y

As player character

Serena is a young girl whose appearance changes based on trainer customization. The player can choose between 3 different preset default appearances, chooseing between Serena's hair, eye and skin color. These defaults otherwise are identical. In most media and her stock art, Serena uses the default middle option, having gray eyes and long honey-blonde hair.

Serenas's hair is styled with long Honey blonde hair. Her head is covered by a red Felt Hat that has 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 has a pair of white Wide-Frame Sunglasses with black visors. These glasses are circular in shape and end in a point towards the outsides connecting to the arms of the glasses. Serena has tall rounded eyes, having gray irises and three eye lashes on each eye. Her thin eyebrows show no color.

Her dress is a black sleeveless High-Waisted Outfit, having a deeper black collar. The dress has a red pleated skirt with 7 sections on the front and back ends, the sides being longer than the rest. The sides also have pockets. Her long black OTK Socks go up to her mid thigh, and lack any decoration on them. The black High Top shoes have darker black laces and gray soles. The sides of each foot are decorated with pink Poké Ball-like markings. Serena's bag of choice is a pink Tote Bag that opens on the top with two pink straps on the ends used to slring around one should like a purse. The bag is covered in several patched squares with a half ciricle being included in the middle.

Serena wears her black Mega Ring along 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 lacks the hat and glassses that her player counterpart would otherwise have, instead she sports a long curly Ponytail in the same Honey blonde color.

Pokémon X and Y

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

Serena is the player's neighbor and their main rival, choosing the first partner Pokémon which is super effective against the player's.
