Serena van der Woodsen is the girl that every other girl thinks she wants to be. She’s tall (for a girl), blonde, blue-eyed, rich and beautiful. Her family is New York Society.
Serena is best friends (well, on again-off again) with fellow socialite, Blair Waldorf. They share an affinity for shopping, attention and the opposite sex – well, one member of the opposite sex in particular: Nate Archibald.
Always a pretty girl, Serena modeled a bit before landing a starring role in Breakfast at Fred’s, a remake of Breakfast at Tiffany’s (in the 9th book of the series, Only in Your Dreams).
Her relationship with her family has always been strained. Her relationship with her mother, Lillian van der Woodsen (“Lily”), is a particularly interesting dynamic. It seems like Lily wants to live a little vicariously through Serena and enjoys her daughter’s successes (while cringing at her failures). Shades of Dina and Lindsay Lohan?
In the pilot episode of Gossip Girl, Serena comes back to town. You can just feel the love at home, no?
