Style Serena loves flowy fabrics, anything that resembles the ocean. She enjoys wearing blue, but will generally lean towards cooler colours or whites. She enjoys simple accessories that sparkle and flash, often leaning towards silver over gold. She does love the summer months and sometimes in the winter, she'll be sporting flip flops and sandals more to try and preserve her summer lovin'. She's a stylish dresser, not dressing for anyone else but herself so she can at least feel comfortable in her own skin.

Her Story
When Anastasia Parker met Louis Rivera, it was like the stars aligned. Before their encounter, Anastasia was previously a waitress working various other part time jobs from time to time. Most of her love for life and desire to live was her sireness abilities. Her mother had allowed her to become a full siren at a very young age, bringing her to the moon pools where many women before her had chosen the difficult and yet magical life of the siren. Being a full fledged siren, she now required a sacrificial man every month like clockwork, and the only way the "curse" or permanance of the spell be taken away was by the first sign of a true love or romance. Blissfully, Louis had a blessed life. Full of money and connections, he managed to lead a charmed life of great academics and opportunity. He found himself in a small town on the edge of Ireland, overlooking the water, and there he encountered Anastasia for the first time. She had attempted to seduce him into the waters, but her spell was broken moments before he complied, much to her distaste. She had taken another life instead that night. A few weeks later, their paths crossed again, this time when Anastasia wasn't under the influence of the moon's lustful pull. She had the chance to speak to Louis and through a few hoops, she discovered his wizarding abilities. Surprised, she demonstrated her's as well, although they were untrained as she hadn't attended any wizarding institute. The two bonded over the next few days with the talent until she needed to quench her thirst.

One night, while Louis was sleeping soundly next to her, she slipped away and proceeded to head towards the nearest body of water - guided only by the moonlight and its pull towards the nearest, most vulnerable man. When she found him, alone in a boathouse far from his home, she slipped inside and instantly began to do her work. She had just committed the deed when she saw Louis staring at her through a window, his face dark and his eyes sad. She had no choice but to explain to him who she was after that. She felt as though he could never, truly love her and then she wanted to break the curse. At the time, it felt like the only thing that mattered. That is, until she discovered her pregnancy. It was a shock to the both of them, and Louis agreed to remain with her throughout the entire nine months and slightly after. Thus, Serena was born. Her mother and father, although loving towards her and soon to her little brother, never really rekindled their affections for one another since that incident, although things had begun to heal.

Serena and her little brother, Toby, are loved beyond belief by their parents. Although the son's never inherit the siren abilities, he is growing into his looks enough to challenge even Veela's. When Serena was growing up, she was faced with the decision to become a siren or to become a witch. She was torn between the two and eventually chose to remain... in between. It was a strange decision, but not an untraveled one, thus the solution was simple. She would grow up as a witch and a siren, but her magical abilities would blossom late. She grew up normally regardless, with her regular friends and admirers. But most of the time, she wondered what life would be like as a siren or as a witch - one or the other. Through this decision, she managed to push towards her siren abilities when she passed through puberty. She felt more connected towards it as that would be the age where she would have really sealed her sirenity. While at their Ireland home, she came across a moon cave similar to that of her mother's, and although she didn't linger long enough, some effects still remained. She still requires a sacrifice, but only once a year. She killed her first soul at fifteen years old, and is still new to the feeling. Her death count is up to 8, despite it only being 2 years. Being a newborn half-sireness made it hard for her to resist the urges. With being more of a siren, her looks began to change into something more sultry and appealing to men, mixed with a little magic.

Now that she's been accepted into Beauxbatons, she decided to focus more on her witching side, but the idea of being a siren has always been there in the back of her mind. Instead of straying away from boys, thinking she'll snap and seduce them to their deaths, she's decided to fully integrate, wondering if she'll find someone to break the stupid "curse" preventing her from not killing.
