Serah Farron | Final Fantasy XIII-2 | Not Reserved

[star_seeker]

Lebreau then told Serah that she cannot rely on Lightning anymore and that she needed to learn to stand on her own. At this point, Serah will enter the game (if accepted).

Personality: Outwardly, Serah may seem rather timid. However, underneath that shy exterior, she is a sugary-sweet girl with a big heart. She hates conflict and wants nothing more than her loved ones to be together. Unfortunately, the entire Final Fantasy XIII world seems to be against her. Becoming a l'Cie brought her and Snow closer together, but it drove a wedge between her and Lightning. Then, in Final Fantasy XIII-2, Serah loses Lightning (and Snow when he pursues Lightning) to some unknown force. All things considered, it would be very easy for Serah to lose heart and give up. However, the girl is made of tougher stuff.

Underneath her youthful exterior, Serah is imbued with patience and hope. She refuses to accept the worst case scenario (i.e. Lightning and Snow are dead/gone).

Serah is willing to do anything to bring her loved ones back - even if it means learning how to fight. Therefore, it's clear that Serah is also brave. While she may have played a "damsel in distress" role in the first game, she is definitely taking the reins into her own hands in the second game. In order to do so, however, she - like her sister - has to accept that she does have good instincts and that she should trust them in chaotic situations. (It was easier for Lightning to accept her instincts in the first game because she was a soldier. Serah doesn't have that education - yet, she is wary and alert to everything around her (thus why she refuses to believe that Lightning is simply crystallized on Cocoon). Therefore, even without soldier training, Serah has the gut instinct it requires to, at least, find her sister and her fiancee.)

Thus, Serah is a bright, optimistic, brave girl who inherited the same gut instinct that has served Lightning so well over the years. As she learns to fight, she will slowly mature into someone who can - and likely will - save her sister and fiancee. Serah is, plainly put, a diamond in the rough. It won't be long before she blossoms into someone that can stand on her own and protect those she holds dear.
