== Appearance ==
Serene has several different forms. She usually appears as a ghost, where she'll hide herself behind an old-fashioned cloak. Her eyes are deep blue, and her hair looks slightly purple. She also radiates beauty and serenity.
As a human, Serene appears even more attractive. Her hair is blue rather than purple, and usually has strands that drop down to the bottom of her neck. Her cloak is also more decorated, and contains golden broaches. She'll also wear purple fingerless gloves with golden bangles.
Both forms contain Serene wearing her dagger pendant, as a token of protection.
== Biography ==
Serene used to be a
normal human, alongside Serena. To everybody, they were two quiet and caring
girls, which left them to be perfect victims of the bullies that roamed their
home town. Verbal abuse constantly rained down on them from their tormentors on
a daily basis. They could never take one step outside without avoiding the
insults. At first, they thought that it would eventually pass. But it never did
– It just became worse. Much much worse.
The bullies started
to physically hurt them by beating them with punches and kicks. On rare
occasions, they would even break their bones. They always came home with cuts,
scars and bruises coating their bodies. Despite the agonizing pain they never
minded the bullies, for they found comfort in the form of the Gods of Wikiana.
They would worship each one with great devotion and leave them sacrifices.
“Serena?” Serene
asked.
“Yes?”
“What would it be
like if we were to live with the Gods themselves?”
“Serene!” Serena
giggled. “We do live by the Gods themselves: They’re watching over us all. But
to actually be with them would be…
would be our dream come true!” The two started to giggle even more.
“As much as I want
to be connected to them, I kind of like it down here on Earth. I would be happy
enough to serve as a guardian of something.”
“Well I don’t like
it here – The bullies! They’ve buried us under the terrain for far too long! I’d
do whatever it takes to avoid them! If I could be with the Gods, I’d want to be
part of the council or help them guard the Underwiki!” As the two continued
with their little discussion, the Gods watched them intently. There was no
doubt that they were all flattered and even wanted the girls to join them, but
there was no direct way. They could only do so if they were dead. And they didn’t
want to kill their biggest fans.
“What do we do
Erlend?” Kekai asked, glancing down at Serena.
“I-I don’t know. I
guess we wait.” Once more, they were all silent. Nobody dared speak, until a
flash of green and yellow spread on the ground – Caitlin had used a Yggdrasil
leaf.
“Waiting is the
best game,” Caitlin agreed. “But how long will it take?” That was it. Nobody
had any clues of how to bend the situation of themselves and the young girls.
So with that, they waited.
The next day, the
bullies invited Serene and Serena to an apology party. Serena seemed quite
suspicious, but Serene wanted the forgiveness she and her sister deserved. Whilst
Serena stated a few facts that this was a trap, Serene was having none of it. For
once in her life, she wanted a fight. The thrill was entering her mind,
manipulating it into a new persona. The naïve and innocent girl Serene was had
now vanished completely, engulfed by a fearsome determined fighter. One that
nobody would ever see coming. She eventually managed to persuade Serena to go,
for the justice that was misinterpreted to be non-existant.
As soon as they
arrived, everything seemed genuinely real – There were plenty of cakes,
balloons and I’m sorry banners. Serena was overjoyed, but Serene felt uneasy.
The whole affair had changed her, and there was still tension. Then she saw him
– Tybalt, hesitating as he cut a massive cake. The other bullies were also at
other larger cakes. Serena was about to rush to a free one, when the bullies
smashed the cakes, and revealed guns.
“SERENA! THEY HAVE
GUNS!” Serene shouted. But it was too late – The bullets ripped through Serena
like knife through butter. Her pained screams sounded like that of a banshee,
and blood started spurting out of her wounds. Then their attention turned to
Serene.
Serene didn’t want
to make it out of there whilst leaving Serena to die, so she started sprinting
to her nearly dead sister. Their tormentors were taken aback by this, but they
regained their composure as quickly as they lost it. Serene still ran, but the
bullets also fired through her. Now she was in the same state as Serena.
“Ser-Serena. I-I’m
sorry for not being there.”
“Serene. Don’t be.
I’m sorry for not listening… had it not been for me, we would be alive… I’m the
– screw up.”
“Serena, don’t say
that!” Serene pleaded with tears in her eyes. “If you’re going – to be a screw
up, then I’ll- be one too!” Serena started to gasp even more heavily, as Serene’s
heart thumped quicker than a rabbit. 
“Serene… next time,
I’ll heed your – testimony. Promise me… you’ll do the same,” Serena’s eyelids
started to flicker, as Serene watched on in horror.
“I-I promise… I won’t
ever pressure… you again. Please, just stay with me for a few more minutes.
Serena?” But her sister’s breathing had completely stopped. Her eyelids were
shut. But her pulse was still there. Serene wanted to deliver one final message
to Serena.
“We’ll always be…
together. Even after death. If we do see the… Wikians, then our dreams… will be
true. Keep believing, and it… will become real.” And that was when the pulse
disappeared. Serena was no longer in pain, no longer reminiscing the bad
amongst the good. With the peaceful look on her face, it was though as if she
was only asleep. Serene felt her eyelids fill with tears, dripping onto Serena’s
corpse. Then she started to feel her energy drain.
All kinds of
memories displayed privately to Serene, like the first time they opened their
eyes to one another, the different games they played together. With every last
ounce of her strength, Serene grabbed Serena’s hand, and breathed her last.
They were 14 at the time.
The Gods stared in
shock at the series of events. Their biggest followers had now passed on, all
due to a mean trick played out by a group of selfish cocky jerks. All the
Goddesses were in tears, whilst the others paid their respects.
“Rebekah, Kekai…
They’ll be at the Underwiki. Show them to the most welcoming room there is.
Caitlin, deliver this message to them as soon as they’re there.” Nathaniel
handed Caitlin a scroll. “But make sure Rebekah and Kekai are out of the room.
Make it seem more realistic. Don’t forget to report their reactions back to us.”
The three nodded at Nathaniel’s plan, and prepared to do so.
Meanwhile, Serene
and Serena stared in awe at the sight – They were finally in the realm of the
Gods. But it was all a terrifying experience for them – They hadn’t expected to
be met with the sight.
“Serene, look, it’s
Scarlet!” Serena whispered to her, as they boarded the boat across the River
Amaranthe. All they could do was contain their excitement as the goddess looked
at them, with a small smile on her face.
“But look! It’s
Katarina!” This time, they recoiled in fear as Katarina growled at them.
“And isn’t that-“
Before Serena could continue, they found themselves stood in front of the two
rulers of the Underwiki – Kekai and Rebekah.
“Ah, we have been
expecting you – You must be the Wormwood sisters! We’ve watched over you as you
worshipped us, and we are flattered.” Kekai blushes slightly at the last word. “Come
this way – We have set up a special room for you!” Serene nearly squealed with delight
as Rebekah carefully held their hands to guide them through the Dark Isles. 
“Ah, here we are!”
Rebekah led the two onto an island, that contained a miniature house. But on
the inside, it was almost like a palace! Gold chandeliers were in every room,
and everything a person could ever want lay in there.
“Please enjoy your
time here!” Kekai said, grinning like a goof before closing the door on them.
The twins stared at each other with disbelief, as they started to squeal and
celebrate out loud. The two started telling jokes and making remarks about the
Gods.
“Kekai is sooo hot!”
Serene stated, daydreaming herself with him.
“I know! It’s a
shame that Rebekah already claimed him. Such a shame…”
“Tell me about it.
I can’t remember which one, but one of the goddesses previously showed an
interest with him.”
“Oh, wasn’t that-“
But before they could finish, there came the sound of wings fluttering. At
first, they thought it was Scarlet. But then they remembered that she had to
stay at the River Amaranthe.
“Come in!” Serene
said politely. At first, there was nothing. Well, until a massive amount of
wolves came bounding in, licking Serene and Serena whenever possible.
“Pack! Calm down!
They’re our guests, not your toys to slobber over!” Serene and Serena gawked as
they received a smile from the angelic figure, her blonde hair flowing behind
her. 
“She’s the one who
I was thinking about,” Serene whispered, petting a blue wolf on the head.
“Aren’t you
Caitlin?” Serena asked, winking at Serene.
“Yup. That’s right!
Caitlin, goddess of wolves, questing and the revival of chat. It’s a pleasure
to see you!” Caitlin shook their hands, beaming greatly at them. 
“What brings you
here then?” Serene enquired.
“Well, I came to
deliver something. A quest in fact. I’ll read it out!” Caitlin opened the
scroll and briefly read through it all. “Dear Serene and Serena, we have been
inspired by your devotion to us – We’ve never seen somebody be so grateful for
us, so we’re giving you an offer you wouldn’t decline – Serena, you can help
protect and guard the spirits of the Underwiki, become a deity of them even. And
Serene, since you would like to regularly be on Earth, we’re leaving you with
one of the most dangerous missions yet – You need to help guard one of the
pieces of a goddess that once tried to destroy us. You won’t be in the same
territory as her, of course, but you must ensure that nobody comes knocking on
her door. Yours sincerely, the Primal trio.” Caitlin finished off by adding the
famous quote: ‘You’ve received a quest request, will you put yourself to the
test?’
The twins gaped at
each other, taken aback by the surprise. They didn’t even think before they
said yes. Caitlin nodded in approval, before greeting them farewell. And then
she was gone.
“Serena, what is
that?” Serene asked, pointing to two presents.
“I don’t know. But
they’re addressed to us, respectively. Let’s open them!” The presents weren’t
that big, so they opened it with ease. Inside of them, there was a priceless
treasure for each of them – A pendant. Serena had hers in the shape of a pointy
flower that looked more like a shuriken than anything else. But Serene’s was
different – Hers was in the shape of a cross, but looked like a small dagger.
“There’s also a
note inside of them!” Serena pointed out, picking up a small scrap of paper.
‘Dear Serene and Serena,
We figured that you would want something to
defend yourselves with, in case you get into trouble.''
Serena, that flower is actually a shuriken. And
if you throw it, it will split into three. But don’t worry, because one will
return to you like a boomerang, no matter what.''
Serene, the cross is a dagger. Within moments,
you can will it to become any other weapon you wish it to be, whether it’s a spear,
a sword, or even a missile! Use wisely though – The dagger can only transform
once every three days.''
From, all the Gods of Wikiana’ The note contained the signatures of all the
Gods on the back.
“Serene, this is
going to be even more awesome than I thought it would be!” And in agreement, Serene
nodded.
== Personality ==
Serene is, well, serene. She likes tranquil moments where she can think and daydream about anything and everything. Unless she's around the Gods or Serena, she's silent. Unless there is a matter of great importance, she will clam up. But she can turn from quiet and reserved to fearsome and determined in a matter of moments. There's also no trying to stop her from achieving her goals - She is as stubborn as a mule. Despite her seriousness, she likes a bit of fun every now and then. After all, there's nothing like a laugh when you're taking a break, right? 
== Trivia ==
* Serene's name originates from serenity, which means peacefulness. This is ironic, as her life was far from tranquil.
* Serene's ghost form is actually a character from DQIX: Sentinels of the starry skies. Her name is also Serene.
