Serina was a UNSC "Smart" AI that was assigned to the UNSC Spirit of Fire, a modified Phoenix-class colony ship.[1]

Description

On board the Spirit of Fire, Serina acts as a military advisory AI, which may or may not be her only function.[2] Her avatar is a young woman with long hair. She speaks with a distinct British accent.

Serina has a very sarcastic and detached nature. She frequently seems to disregard the lives of others, even her own ship's crew - such as when the Spirit of Fire was slowly being pulled inside the Shield World - almost always responding to their peril with some curious remark or dark joke. Although prone to sarcastic comments and exhibiting a seemingly uncaring attitude, she is more compassionate than she seems.[3]

She also appears to have a fascination with human relationships.[4] Knowing the crew of the Spirit of Fire may be on a one-way trip, Serina manufactured and delivered fake emails from family members to the crew celebrating Valentine's Day. No one ever suspected her of this deception.[5]

As the Spirit of Fire was too far away from UNSC territory and traveling without a Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine, it is unlikely that Serina was deleted.
