Lightning's younger sister and Snow's fiancée. At one time an ordinary young woman, her involvement in an accident sets the wheels of drama in motion. Some time following that drama, a certain incident would cause her to pick up the bow and set off on a journey to resolve time-distorting paradoxes.
Description

Characteristics[]
Appearance[]
Serah's design is based on her Final Fantasy XIII-2 appearance, with the outfit Lightning gave her at the beginning of her new journey. She wears a revealing form-fitting dress of white, reddish-pink, and gold consisting of a white top, pink sections on the front and back connecting the top to the skirt over black shorts, cut-out sides at the waist, crisscrossing pink straps on the sides of her torso, and two straps that go over her shoulders into a cross-back shape. She wears a storage pack on her right hip that hangs from her waist, pink and black thigh-high leggings, and purple ankle boots. Serah retains her earrings and engagement necklace, and wears a pink choker, short pink sleeves under gray gloves that have gold ornaments, and gold armbands one in the shape of a bird that rests on her left bicep where her l'Cie brand used to be.
Serah's alternate costume is her Final Fantasy XIII appearance. She wears cat-shaped earrings, the engagement necklace given to her by Snow, and a black armband on her right bicep and a bandage on her left bicep. Her outfit consists of a red plaid-pleated skirt lined with black lace, a white sleeveless dress shirt, a semi-transparent pink sweeper vest, an extra matching hair tie on her left wrist, black thigh-high stockings with a white diamond shape attached to the top of her left stocking, and ivory ankle boots.
She wields her iconic Starseeker bow, however, the shape-shifting function and sword mode do not work in this world. Serah acknowledges her weapon is a transformed moogle.
Personality[]
Story[]
Serah is first seen in Utopia Niveus fighting Sweepers. Lightning finds her once she hears her screaming.
At first, Lightning is unaware of how Serah can use the bowsword, and she refuses to let Serah fight, claiming that Serah is a civilian, not a warrior. But Galuf, Vaan and Mog comment that the only thing that matters is the person's will to fight
Lost Chapter: A Burning Passion[]
After he joins the warriors of light, Snow greets his fiancée Serah and tells her that he is glad to see her safe and sound. Serah tells him proudly that she can fight on her own too, now, and Snow affirms her with excitement. While Vincent expresses a pleasant surprise at his support, Lightning becomes upset at his willingness to put Serah in danger. Snow defends both her and himself, saying he that just because he is worried does not mean he won’t respect her decision to fight as well. He reminds Lightning that Serah will always have the rest of them as backup.
Lightning expresses a profound anxiety after Vincent ruminates on not taking the proper precautions to prevent the loss of a loved one, and after also Shadow reaffirms her worry. However, eventually, Lightning gives in, and she firmly orders Snow and Serah to be particularly vigilant when looking out for each other.

Allusions[]
- Serah pairs with Minwu as both have the ability to see the future and were willing to forfeit their lives if it meant protecting their worlds.
- Serah is also teamed with Iris, who, like herself, can hold her own in battle despite an obnoxiously overprotective older sibling. Both have a soft spot for moogles.
Behind the scenes[]
While Serah and Lightning perform their finishing move for the Feral Link Reunion BT ability, Serah says "お終いだよ" (Oshimai da yo, lit: "This is the end"). The word "shimai" is a pun on 姉妹 (sisters).
