But she realizes that this is not possible anymore because of the strife between her parents. Serana does wish that they can abandon all of this resentment and become a family once again. She thinks that they only see her as a pawn that they constantly use against one another. Serana is often involved in the conflict between her parents. Despite this, Serana does have some love for her father. Her father became increasingly drunk with power, to the point that he saw Serana as only a means to an end that would allow him to gain even more power. But once her family started following the Daedric lord Molag Bal, her family begin to grow more and more apart. Serana was never really close with her father, Harkon, before they all became vampires. Her mother would tell her nothing but negative opinions about her father and she grew to believe them. But this didn't last long as her parents started to fight with each other. When she was a young child, Serana was very close with her mother. She is very resentful towards Valerica for locking her away in a tomb for centuries.

She does, however, have a great deal of loneliness due to her troubled childhood and her mother's exile. She is very open about her past and usually shares intimate details about her life with Dovahkiin.

Serana can be described as a very friendly person. Serana, regardless of the choice of the player, will help the Dovahkiin all throughout the DLC. After taking Serana to the castle of Lord Harkon, a Vampire Lord and her father, the Dovahkiin has the option of either joining the vampires in their quest to rule over Tamriel by fulfilling an ancient prophecy or helping the Dawnguard thwart the plans of the evil vampires. Serana is an ancient vampire of pure-blood that the Dovahkiin finds in Dimhollow Crypt, where she had been trapped for centuries along with her Elder Scroll, right at the beginning of the Dawnguard DLC for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
