Serah Farron

The younger sister of Lightning Age 18 Serah is Lightning's younger sister and Snow's fiancée. Possessing an inner fortitude beyond her years, she is more than capable of making decisions on her own, whatever her somewhat overprotective sister might think. In fact, Serah spends just as much time worrying about her elder sister's well-being as Lightning does Serah's.

Serah is an 18-year-old girl with the same pink tint of hair Lightning has. She ties most of her hair into a ponytail on the left side of her head, much like how Lightning's hair drapes over her left shoulder. Serah has blue eyes like Lightning, although Serah's are a darker shade.

She wears cat-shaped earrings representing NORA, a rebel group led by her fiancé, and a black armband on her right bicep and a bandage on her left bicep to cover her l'Cie brand. Her outfit consists of a red plaid-pleated skirt lined with black lace, a white sleeveless dress shirt, a semi-transparent pink sweeper vest, an extra matching hair tie on her left wrist, black thigh-high stockings with a white diamond shape attached to the top of her left stocking, and ivory ankle boots. She wears an engagement pendant shaped like Cocoon after receiving it from Snow.

Serah is a straight-A student, and one of her favorite subjects is history. 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, drawing strength from her friends. Serah is a better cook than Lightning, who, in turn, is better at home-improvement work.

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. She bought Snow a NORA pendant in the shape of a silver cat.
