Story
Serah is Lightning's younger sister by three years and the fiancée of Snow Villiers, as revealed at the Final Fantasy XIII Premiere Party in September 2009. Those two argue about her in the trailers of the game. Lightning accuses Snow of failing to protect Serah.

In the web novelization Final Fantasy XIII Episode Zero: Promise, it is mentioned that before the events of the game, Serah was about to attend Eden's university, but during her summer vacation she fell in love with Snow, much to her sister's dismay. However, Serah had gone into the Lowerworld Vertigo ruins which the traitor fal'Cie Orphan took from Pulse, and she was marked on her upper left arm as a l'Cie by the fal'Cie Anima entombed in the ruins. Though she drove Snow away out of fear, he refuses to abandon her and offer to aid her in any way he can. Around that time, Serah met Vanille, who apologizes to Serah after she tells her she'll get through the mission with her friends' help.

As the game opens up, Serah once more enters the Lowerworld Vertigo, her Focus being to lure more people to the ruins to be made into l'Cie, so her Focus was completed when Lightning, Snow, Sazh and Hope went into the ruins and she was crystallized. Later, Galenth destroyed the crystallized Serah to unnerve Snow. However, after Orphan is destroyed and Vanille and Fang sacrifice themselves to keep Cocoon from crashing into Pulse, Serah is restored, and she reunites with Lightning and Snow.
