History:
Serena was born and raised in Vanivelle Town, a small and charming town located in the southeastern portion of the Kalos Region. Serena is the daughter of Grace, a famous retired Rhyhorn racer, who currently works as a professional Rhyhorn riding coach. Some would label Serene’s family as "upper-middle class," mostly because of her mother’s fame and successful career. Serene's mother often spoiled her and gave her everything that her heart desired. It is not a surprise that she has turned out to be an overly pampered and high-maintenance young lady, who takes pleasure in the finer things that life has to offer her over the years.
During her youth years, Serena spent most of her time traveling and training alongside her mother, due to her mother’s demanding careers. Therefore, she did not have too much of a choice, but to fall in love with traveling and Pokémon. She would often watch her mother participate in various races, train and breed the finest Rhyhorn, which also gave her the amazing opportunity to care for Pokémon and learn how to understand them a little bit better along the way. She learned how to become a talented Rhyhorn racer by watching her mother, and she even became fluent in multiple languages across the world due to traveling from region to region alongside her mother. Whenever she was not busy practicing her riding skills or assisting her mother with caring for the Rhyhorn, Serena would be spending time watching Pokémon Showcases and performance tournaments. Of course, there were also times when she would spend time with her mother in the kitchen, too, learning how to prepare and bake delicious treats for Pokémon and humans alike.
Throughout her pre-teenage years, Serena was mostly known as the beautiful and sophisticated honey-haired bombshell that ruled over the popular kids at her local school. Of course, with all the popularity that was engulfing her, people often labeled her as just another pretty girl with a cold heart and a love for expensive materials. There were times where she felt as if she was a little bit better than other students attending the school, and she strongly believed that the world revolved around her. She was known to be a clever and determined young lady who held high expectations for herself. She was one of the top students in her class. However, she felt that even though she was ahead of most of the students in her class, she wasn't getting what she truly wanted out of her life. Her mother wanted her to follow in her footsteps by becoming a famous Rhyhorn racer, but to be honest, that was not Serena’s true desire. After watching live Pokémon Showcases and performance tournaments, Serena decided that she wanted to become a talented and powerful Master-level Performer. It was not until she turned the age of fourteen, she asked her mother if she could embark on her own Pokémon journey and follow her own path as an aspiring Performer. At first, her mother was astonished and heartbroken by her question. However, after Serena explained her reasoning for wanting to become a Performer, her mother agreed to give her an opportunity to chase after her own dreams.
After the start of her journey to becoming a Performer, Serena had chosen a fiery, yet kind-hearted Fennekin. Luckily, the two of them were able to develop a rather strong and everlasting bond with each other within a short amount of time. It was not too much longer before Serena would encounter a wild, tough, and mischievous Pancham in a nearby forest. The adorable and playful Pancham was a bit of an outcast in the forest due to his constant need to be the center of attention, which often led him to create trouble for everyone else around him. Serena was able to see past Pancham’s self-absorbed and mischievous personality after he protected Fennekin and her from a pack of Mightyena.
With a new member on her team, Serena was able to take down a couple of gym leaders, earning their badges and creating fun and lasting memories along the way. Eventually, her Fennekin would evolve into a beautiful and majestic Braixen and a timid Eevee, who shared a passion for dancing, would be gifted to Serena by her mother to show her unwavering support. She trained the Eevee alongside her other Pokémon and fed it delicious treats to enhance her cuteness and beauty before evolving it into a stunning Sylveon. She trained her growing team with grace, elegance, and power. She managed to enter a few battle tournaments to strengthen her battling skills. Surprisingly, she was able to win most of those battle tournaments, which soon helped her to gain even more confidence to take on the task of becoming a Master-level Performer. She later started to participate in Pokémon Showcases, winning princess key after princess key with her Pancham, Braixen, and Sylveon. She quickly gained fame and popularity as a blooming Performer across the Kalos Region. People would travel across the world to witness her perform with her beautiful and powerful Pokémon. However, others become even more interested in her strikingly beautiful appearance, natural poise, and great sense of fashion while performing on the stage. It was not too much longer before Serena and her team made it to the Master Level Contest to compete for the title of Top Performer. Despite her talented battling skills and her dazzling performances, Serena and her team fell a little too short of earning the title of Top Performer after losing to her favorite idol. She was severely heartbroken by her defeat, and she took some time off as a Performer. In the meantime, she and her Pokémon took part in a few modeling gigs and have managed to grace the covers of many magazines related to fashion, beauty, and style.
Despite her loss, Serena still managed to gain fame and fortune from her career as a high-profile Performer and social media influencer. However, there was not enough for her. She felt as if her life was still missing a huge puzzle piece that she could not find. After wallowing around in her self-pity for a few months, Serena finally decided that it was time to pick herself back up and dust herself off again to embark on a new journey. A new journey that would require her to travel to the Johto Region to study the art of becoming a Pokémon Coordinator after her idol encouraged her to give contests a shot. There, Serena will obtain knowledge regarding conservation and research. She is also looking forward to new challenges, capturing new Pokémon, and creating even more meaningful memories and connections with others.
Goals:
- To captured/befriend new Pokémon in the Johto Region.
- To earn the title of Top Coordinator.
- To met and befriend other coordinators and performers.
- To sharpen her battling skills.
- To go out on her first date.
