She wears a storage pack on her right hip that hangs from her waist, pink and black thigh-high leggings, and purple ankle boots. The outfit mysteriously appears on her while she sleeps before the first paradox manifests. 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 resting on her left bicep where her l'Cie brand used to be.
Similar to Lightning's use of a gunblade that can switch between gun and sword, Serah wields a bowsword, though its true form is that of her new moogle companion, Mog. The symbol on the front of Serah's dress is also on Lightning's shield. Etro script is written on both symbols, the blades of Serah's weapon, the back of her dress, and her storage pack. Art Director Isamu Kamikokuryo consistently draws Serah and Lightning with blonde hair in concept art, despite their more "official" appearance.
A few details on her outfit are also different such as a different choker. A "White Mage" costume was released on May 15, Noel isn't himself these days. I wonder if it's because he can't remember the future. It's understandable. No one wants to think they'll forget something Serah is mature and wise and cares deeply for those around her. Despite the grave circumstances, she stays positive and believes in a better future as long as she has her friends.
Serah is a better cook than Lightning, who, in turn, is better at home-improvement work. In the three years that have passed in Final Fantasy XIII-2 , Serah is emotionally scarred by past events, but she retains her strong and caring personality.
While caring towards her students, Serah is a strict grade school teacher with a short temper, adopting Lightning's mannerisms, which earned her the nickname "Meanie Miss Farron" from her pupils, much to her dismay. Serah can hold her own in battle despite not having much prior combat experience.
She is determined to save the future despite learning of the peril it could put her in. After receiving proper training, Serah proves herself to be a natural fighter. She swiftly masters many weapons and has exceptional reflexes. Her fighting style capitalizes on her superb agility, jumping while firing her bows and skillfully performing backflips, similar to Lightning.
She learns magic, and out of herself and Noel, Serah is the more magically-oriented fighter. Serah gained the Eyes of Etro after her awakening, allowing her to see future visions; this comes with the cost of shortening her lifespan. Serah was born three years after her elder sister, Claire. Their father died when they were young, and they lost their mother to an unknown illness when Serah was twelve. With no other family to turn to, Claire took it upon herself to raise Serah and changed her name to "Lightning".
Since then, Serah has looked up to Lightning as her guardian. After Lightning graduated from high school and joined the Guardian Corps Bodhum Security Regiment, she began to lose sight of her goals and worked many hours while spending little time with Serah. Serah was planning to attend the university in Eden when she fell in love with Snow during summer vacation, much to Lightning's dismay. From a young age, the local landmark, the Pulse Vestige , caught her attention and made Serah interested in studying history.
One day, Serah visits the Vestige and finds a door leading inside and ventures into the ruins, where she is chosen by the Pulse fal'Cie Anima entombed within.
Serah is branded a l'Cie and dreams of transforming into Ragnarok and destroying Cocoon, but does not realize it is her Focus. She wakes up outside of the Vestige and notices the l'Cie brand on her arm. She tries to rub it off, but, affected by her fear, the brand evolves, and Serah walks off crying. Four days later, Serah tells Snow she has been branded a Pulse l'Cie and tries to break up, but Snow refuses to abandon her and offers to aid in figuring out her Focus.
Two days later, Serah befriends Vanille on the beach. Listening to Vanille's problem, Serah advises her to face it later and look at it from a distance to find a way to overcome it. She tells Vanille about her nightmare of destroying the world and how she tried to run from it, but now knows she will get through with her friends' help. Since it was her fault that Anima made Serah a l'Cie, Vanille apologizes; however, as Serah is oblivious of Vanille's involvement, she doesn't understand.
The next day, Serah goes out to the shopping mall with Snow to find a birthday present for Lightning. Serah buys a survival knife to keep Lightning safe while she is on duty while Snow slips away and buys two engagement necklaces. The night after, Serah and Snow attend the fireworks festival where Snow proposes to her, and she accepts.
On Lightning's birthday the following day, Serah and Snow tell her about Serah becoming a l'Cie and their engagement, but Lightning believes Serah is lying as an excuse to marry Snow. Lightning and Snow make their separate ways through the Hanging Edge to the Vestige to save her. Serah tells Lightning to save Cocoon and crystallizes , leaving behind a crystal tear for Snow. Snow believes Serah will awaken, but Lightning believes her to be dead.
Serah becomes part of the crystallized lake, and the others abandon Snow, who stays behind to try and free her. She is brought aboard the Lindblum along with Snow when he is captured by Fang and Cid Raines 's troops, the Cavalry , a rogue army regimen that seeks to free Cocoon from the fal'Cie rule.
What happens to Serah's crystal from now on is unknown, but Snow and Fang rendezvous with the other l'Cie, forcing Snow to leave Serah behind. On the Palamecia , the Cocoon fal'Cie's leader Barthandelus tells the group that Serah's Focus was to "assemble the tools for Cocoon's destruction", or lure them inside the Vestige to be branded l'Cie with the task of destroying Cocoon.
This revelation cripples Snow, who, until that point, had believed their Focus was to save Cocoon, as Serah asked. After defeating Cid Raines in the Fifth Ark , revealed to be a l'Cie branded by Barthandelus, and observing him enter crystal stasis despite going against his Focus, Snow emerges from his depression and vows to follow Serah's wish to save Cocoon.
She reasons that, like Raines, Serah beat her Focus by putting Cocoon's fate in their hands. In Oerba , Barthandelus uses Serah's guise to try and trick the party into turning into Ragnarok, but they see through the illusion. As the party returns to Cocoon and treks through Eden, Barthandelus tells them he is holding Serah and Sazh's son, Dajh , hostage.
After Orphan is destroyed and Vanille and Fang transform into Ragnarok to halt Cocoon's descent by forming a crystal pillar to support it above Pulse, Serah wakes up from crystal sleep, no longer a l'Cie. She reunites with Snow and Lightning. Serah forgives Lightning for not believing her, and Snow begins to plan for their wedding, with Lightning congratulating the pair.
Um, Snow. Do you think I'd make a good teacher? We don't have schools yet, or even homes, but there're so many kids here. They'll need schools and teachers, right?
I want to teach them about the world, tell them the things they have to know. Like why Cocoon fell, and what happened to us Serah and Snow talk about rebuilding on Gran Pulse and saving Vanille and Fang, who remain crystallized within the pillar.
Serah asks Vanille what she dreams about in her crystal sleep, revealing she knows about Snow staying with her at Lake Bresha since he carried her crystal tear, enabling her to hear him and see what he saw.
Serah theorizes the dreams people have in crystal stasis vary since Dajh told her about his dream of playing with chocobos. Serah decides to become a school teacher and educate children on why Cocoon fell. She wants to tell them their side of the story and help them grow into adults who can think for themselves. Shortly after, she discovers that Lightning is missing. School studies are a thinking exercise, there is no point in seeking the significance of that in itself.
It's practice so of course you would think there's no point in it. Since the timeline was corrupted, Lightning was removed from history. Only Serah remembers her ever returning to Gran Pulse with them, leaving Serah confused and devastated.
In the two years after Lightning's disappearance, with help from the Cavalry, Bodhum's former residents build the Pulsian village of New Bodhum , and some learn to use magic , including Snow and Serah. Serah learns how to fight with weapons and discovers she has more fighting prowess than she knew. Serah becomes a teacher like Lightning was to her to teach the children how to protect and think for themselves.
However, deep inside, she feels unable to move forward, haunted by her memory of the day Lightning vanished and how everyone thinks she is making things up to avoid facing reality. One day, Snow tells Serah he believes her about Lightning still being alive and sets out to search for her.
Serah wants to go with him, but Snow insists she stay for her students' sake. Giving Serah his engagement pendant as the symbol of his promise to return with Lightning, Snow departs, but a year goes by, and Serah never hears back from him. The truth is, I didn't want to let her go. I'd come so far to find her, I was afraid to lose her again. But I had to be strong, for her sake.
She had her own battles ahead of her. Then comes XIII-2 which, after seeing the ending, I'd argue is an entire game about how you can't escape fate and nothing you do will be able to overpower it in the end.
I'm not so much scratching my head over the details of this, plot-wise, it just seems like So, any ideas why? Actually, pretty much all three of the games try to tell you how you can't defy fate, because nothing will matter.
Lightning went into a crystal sleep when she realised she couldn't win against Caius. I think this is being explained in her DLC side-story. Alyssa died in the Purge back in XIII, but the distorted timeline created a reality in which she survived.
Serah and Noel fixing history caused her to stop existing. The reason why she was working against them was so she could continue living in the paradox version of history.
Hope and Alyssa were cryogenically frozen, they explain this. They didn't time travel. Sazh and Snow apparently did after having Lightning appear in their dreams like with Serah. Cocoon fell but it wasn't the cataclysmic extinction level event I was hoping it would be. Because then it would have actually been epic. But it wasn't epic at all, it was like somebody dropped a big ball of sand the ground. This was supposed to be akin to a meteor crashing into the planet.
So WTF? How did this wipe out humanity? What did they even have to build an ark for? Acedemia might as well have been hit by a Cat-5 hurricane.
In the twisted timeline, Caius used the new Cocoon and smashed it into the old one, that's where the cataclysmic extinction level event comes from. Serah and Noel prevent this. Serah dying. Did I get the wrong ending? Is this -supposed- to happen? Is it because I chose to kill Caius? Even if you didn't kill Caius, he still 'dies' and Serah still dies.
It's the Canon ending 3. Chaos was unleashed, causing the real doomsday event that Cocoon was supposed to, so that was awesome. But what's up with the statue of Lightning? Caius said something about her but when I saw that statue I thought it her possessed by chaos and turned evil. That would be really cool. Lightning is Crystallised, it will be expanded upon with DLC.
How it happened no body knows quite yet. What ever happened to Alyssa? She tried to kill Noel and Serah why? Alyssa died when Serah and Noel corrected the timeline. She died in the purge, but because Etro messed with the time line she was brought back to life.
That's why she was working with Caius trying to kill Noel and Serah so they couldn't correct the timeline, and ultimately, kill Alyssa 5. How did they find Sazh and Dajh?
