[edit] Description
Little is known about Serina other than the fact that she acts as a Military Advisory AI, which may or may not be her only function.[1] She is a smart AI,[2], which is usually a sign of advanced memory capacity, like Cortana. In contrast, other AI's known throughout the Halo Canon exhibit only minor aspects of personality. Her avatar is a young female with long hair, and her attire resembles a lab coat. She appears to speak in a generic, or Received Pronunciation, British accent. She seems to have a caring personality,[3] and she has a fascination with human relationships.[4] She often acts sarcastic, and on the outside, she seems not to care about anyone.
As the Spirit of Fire was too far away from UNSC territory and traveling without a Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine, it is unlikely that Serina was deleted.
[edit] Quotes
- "Recalling surface squads so we can all die together. Aye, sir!"[5]
- "Well, this is new... and scary." (Upon seeing the Flood)[1]
- "The MAC is online and primed. Payback time!"[1]
- "Expecting trouble, Captain?"
- "Standard orbit achieved, all systems normal."
- "So... nothing too difficult then?"
- "Here are some reinforcements... play nice."
- "So, we left a note saying we're leaving, right?"
- "Well, it'll be pretty obvious if he succeeds."
- "Aye sir, crazy mystery trip to Arcadia plotted in, spinning up FTL drives."
- "Threading a needle while accelerating around an exploding star inside a planet that's falling apart? Sure, why not?"
- "So...am I the only one freaked out by the fact that we're inside the planet?"
- "Captain. Wake Up. Something has happened."
- "Closing your eyes might help, too."
[edit] Trivia
- Serina seems to have a theoretical interest in chocolate.
- "Spinning up FTL drive" may be a reference to the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica, which uses this phrase frequently when the Fleet jumps.
- Serina, knowing the crew of the Spirit of Fire may be on a one-way trip, manufactured and delivered fake emails from family members to the crew celebrating Valentine's Day. No one ever suspected her of this deception. [6]
- She has a very sarcastic and detached nature. She frequently seems to disregard the lives of others, even her own ship's crew - such as when the Spirit of Fire is slowly being pulled inside the Shield World - almost always responding to their peril with some curious remark or dark joke.
- She was voiced by Courtenay Taylor.
- Her name "Serina" means "Clear and "Tranquil".
- Serina's human memory is "kissing a boy".
- After completing the game on Legendary, Serina will say "Captain, wake up; something has happened." After that, she will repeat that quote if the last level is completed.
