Serena Rinnen


 * "So I really should try living life again with my teeth clenched. If I give it my all - don't you think I'd find at least two reasons to live? Like them."


 * - Serena to a dying Ho

Serena Rinnen is a Regular. She passed most of the tests on the Second Floor and was assigned the Scout position. She was a thief before she came to the Inner Tower.

History
Rinnen used to be a thief, who raided various trader caravans for wealth. However, one day she ran into a caravan protected by a Ranker and her whole group was decimated. After she realized the fragility of human life, she was then approached by Headon, who chose her as a Regular and teleported her to the Inner Tower.

Personality and Appearance
She is an plain, ordinary looking woman with brown hair and few flattering attributes. Upon first coming to the Tower, she was determined to gain power in order to stop anyone who would get in her way and with a resolve never to be as helpless as she was when her friends died. However, once observing Team A's resolve and being part of an existence greater than the individual, she felt repulsed at her past actions. When witnessing the fight between Androssi and Quant, she then resolved to try harder in life, instead of cowering when things were taken from her and she might find a reason to live, something she didn't have when she first came into the Tower.

Tower of God: Part 1
Serena managed to pass the first test on the Second Floor, by attacking and dismembering everyone she ran into. She teamed up with Phonsekal Laure and Ho and participated in the Crown Game with them. She barely got through Lero-Ro's Shinsoo barrier. She was then assigned to the Scout position.

For the Hide-and-Seek Test, she was put on Team B. She positioned herself with Ho according to Androssi's plan. She talked to Ho about how she had initially felt great about beating the other Regulars in the first test, but as she got to know those who made it through, she imagined having to kill them to ascend through the Tower and was disgusted at the thought. She then yelled at Ho, who mysteriously ran off. Once alerted of the Quant's presence, she ran and went to help Hatsu, only to get captured by Parakewl and Mauchi.

She ended up failing the Position Test. However her experiences on the Floor of Test had caused her to become a stronger person by that point.
