Serena to James in Paranormal Activity


Serena Julia Vivian is a main character in The Originals Fanfiction. She was a major supporting character in the first season. She is a New Orleans College Student who majors in English/Writing (Journalism). She already knew about the supernatural world and sought answers about her family from The Original Family but only Elijah was able to give her the answers she needed. Serena also formed a special bond with Elijah.

During the first season, Serena began to find herself surrounded by death. She ended up being attacked by a black-hooded figure which later turned out to be the Grim Reaper, who wanted her soul. She eventually found out that both her parents died nine to ten years ago. Serena confronted the Grim Reaper herself to get answers but ended up finding out that the Grim Reaper is her father, Jonathan Vivian. Throughout generations, her family has been part of a cult that has worshiped Reapers. Upon her birth, Serena was chosen to be the sacrifice for the next Grim Reaper as she was the only one with the soul that could grant the Reaper has full power and keep him in the world. As a child, she was taken in by Elijah by her parents request. Britney and Jonathan gave up their lives in order to protect their daughter. However, Serena does not remember any of this, possibly that Elijah compelled her to forget. Serena made her decision to become the new Grim Reaper so that her father could be saved from a fate he had suffered for years.

In the second season, Serena began to learn more about the Grim Reaper's history and explore her powers. Serena return to her college life in New Orleans after being in Miami for months. Her powers began to become more in effect after she was reunited with her childhood friends, Adam Norwood and James. When she tried to keep them out of the supernatural world, a horrific event of James' death came upon Serena and Adam but it was later revealed that James was still alive and was the True Grim Reaper. Angered by James' lies throughout the years, she became his student until he would take away her reaper powers.
