Serena (Pokemon)

Serena (セレナ Serena) is a Pokémon Trainer and Performer from the Kalos region and was one of Ash's traveling companions during his journey in the Kalos Region. Her goal is to be named Kalos Queen, the highest prestige achievable for Pokémon Performers. She and Ash met before the events of the series when Ash aided her in her time of need. She developed a strong crush on him from that day on and it became one of her most notable characteristics, evident through her blushing whenever she looks at, talks to or is amazed by him.

Appearance
Serena's first outfit consisted of a dark gray tank top with a white collar, dark gray stockings, long honey blond hair that reaches just above her waist, medium skin tone, red double waist side buttons pleated skirt, black hi-tops with pink semi-Poké Ball printing on the sides similar in design to Hilda's, and a dark pink hat paired with a black hatband and ribbon bow. Serena marks a return to basing Ash's female companion off of that generation's female player character in the video games. However, Serena is also the first to have undergone minor cosmetic changes for the transition to the anime, whereas May and Dawn remained the same. Among the cosmetic changes are;
 * She appears a little younger or shorter than her game counterpart.
 * Her fingernails are short and trimmed like most other characters on the show, rather than long like her game counterpart.
 * Her fingernails are kept natural without any nail polish on, while her game counterpart wears a faint pink nail polish.
 * Her shirt collar is white instead of black.
 * The sunglasses on the hat are replaced by her tiny bow.
 * She doesn't have a Mega Ring.
 * Her eyes are blue despite the fact that her game counterpart is a gray color (even her game counterpart's contacts can be changed to blue).
 * Her hat appears larger, more curved, looking similar to a straw hat.
 * She wears high-top shoes unlike her game counterpart, who wears sneakers; however, they are in the same design.
 * The line going down from the top of her shoes, down to the soles, is one straight line, while on her game counterpart's sneakers, they are two separate lines.
 * She also does not have the purse that her game counterpart does, instead having a backpack.
