Personality
As she has been trained largely in Duel Monsters and confined in Duel Academy castle since her childhood, Serena is serious-minded, but has no social skills as a result, not understanding that not everyone is a Duelist. She is constantly trying to prove herself worthy to Leo Akaba and wants to fight Duel Academy's enemies, and even members of Duel Academy when necessary. Serena is strong-willed and determined to prove her strength to the point that she is willing to put herself in danger to do so. Ironically, while desiring respect, she is very rude when addressing other people as she believes herself to be superior to them. Because of her obsession with demonstrating her skills, she takes her Duels seriously and seeks to fight the strongest Duelists she can find and is frustrated and disappointed when she defeats "worthless opponents". She is also proud and short-tempered. She is proud to serve Duel Academy and believes that what they are doing is right. Like most students of Duel Academy, Serena is prideful and arrogant, refusing to back down from any challenges she came across. Serena's pride is also her downfall, which leads to her being impatient and reckless.

Serena is also someone that believes at the "Survival of the Fittest", often comparing duels with fights between animals in the jungle, and thinks that only those duelists with a strong will shall be allowed to fight. She also thinks that in order to be strong and have success in life, any weakness (whether being ideas, objects, people, etc.) should be discarded as they only get in the way.

Despite this, Serena also appears to have honor, refusing to use cheap tactics in her Dueling, and also doesn't even dare to duel anyone unable to fight.
