Serra joins as a [[Cleric]] very early in ''The Blazing Blade''. In Lyn mode, she joins in chapter 5; in Eliwood mode, she joins in chapter 13, and in Eliwood mode, she joins in chapter 12. Her base magic is very low, and she is very frail, but she has a good magic growth and a base D rank in staves, which allows her to use [[Mend]]. Her growths are fairly good across the board, with the exception of defense. Having a healer in the early game is useful, especially on harder difficulties, because other units cannot always use a [[Vulnerary]] to heal themselves. As such, Serra has unique utility in the very early stage of the game. | |||
Serra's main problem is that the mounted healer who joins after her, [[Priscilla]], outclasses her. She has better stats, a better base staff rank at C, and she is mounted, providing her with higher movement. While Serra can still be useful even after Priscilla joins, usually there is no need for more than one healer in ''The Binding Blade'', and once there is, [[Pent]] is also available. Serra requires plenty of training to keep up, and it is hard for her to get that training, since she cannot fight and staves give very little experience. As such, it is difficult to take advantage of her good growths, particularly her good magic growth. | |||
Another issue Serra has is that the [[Guiding Ring]] is a very competitive promotion item in ''The Blazing Blade''. There are many units who need that item to promote, and many of them are good, such as Priscilla, [[Erk]] and [[Canas]]. While Serra's promotion is not the best promotion in the game, it still gives her statistical increases, the ability to defend herself with D rank in light magic, and an increase in staff experience. Because of that, it is even more difficult to give Serra long-term potential. | |||
Serra does have unique utility in the desert chapter, because she has no movement penalties there, unlike Priscilla.

Coupled with her earlygame utility, Serra is definitely a useful unit in several parts of the game, but she faces strong competition and her long-term potential is difficult to take advantage of. | |||

Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
Role
Serra is a healer working for Ostia. Initially, she is being escorted by the young mage Erk.
Lyn's tale
In Beyond the Borders, Chapter 5 in Lyn's story, Serra is first seen as an NPC character, along with her escort, Erk. Speaking to her with Lyn or simply clearing the chapter will recruit her. She then becomes a member of "Lyndis' Legion.". If she falls in Chapter 5, she will instead send Erk to join "Lyndis' Legion" and state that she is too hurt to continue, and must wait behind on the path to let her wounds heal.
Eliwood/Hector's tale
Serra is automatically recruited in Chapter 13 of Eliwood's story, and Chapter 12 in Hector's. She is traveling with Hector and his small crew from Ostia when she reappears.

Endings
Lyn's tale
Serra, Cleric of Ostia
Ultimately, Erk succeeds in seeing Serra safely to Ostia. While her behavior is irritating at best, she is sorely missed. Her ascerberic tongue has become legendary.
Eliwood/Hector's tale
Serra, Outspoken Cleric
Serra returned to Ostia. She spent much time tending to her own affairs, but lately, she has begun to enjoy her free time.
Erk and Serra
After the battle, Erk returned to his studies. His newfound feelings for Serra were an unwelcome distraction. In Ostia, Serra declared she would “live for love” with Erk, and Marquess Ostia gladly saw her off.
Matthew and Serra
Matthew returned to Ostia, where he led the network of spies for the new marquess. During this hectic time, his thoughts turned to Serra. Thanks to her, the pain of losing Leila slowly became more bearable.
Oswin and Serra
Oswin returned to Ostia, where his duties as minister to the new marquess kept him busy. Serra clung to him intensely, despite his protests. Finally, her innocent stubbornness won his heart and eased his weary mind.

Serra |
A feminine name derived from "Sarah," a name used in English, French, German, Hebrew, Arabic, and Biblical Hebrew. "Sarah" means "lady" or "princess" in Hebrew. This was the name of the wife of Abraham in the Old Testament, who became the mother of Isaac at the age of 90. In England, Sarah came into use after the Protestant Reformation.[3] Incidentally, serra is also Latin for "saw," which matches her abrasive demeanor extremely well. |
