Serena Fredrick was a powerful witch practitioner (in her "mid- to late- 20's") with the power to create fire with her mind. She lived alone with her cat and worked as a nurse at the County General Hospital. In 1998, Serena was the third witch murdered in three weeks by a warlock.
Powers and abilities[]
Serena had the power of pyrokinesis and it was activated through her fingertips. She demonstrated this power by lighting nine candles on top of her altar in preparation for her Protection Spell. Serena could also cast spells, could presumably create and use potions, and strangely enough had a tattoo of the triquetra on her her neck.
Altar[]
Serena's altar which was a low round table with a dark blue tablecloth, carvings, and covered with nine candles (three white, three red, two blue, and one green). There were also assorted herbs and spices, a wand, an athame, an incense burner, and a chalice full of red wine.

Protection spell[]
Presumably after hearing about the two other witch-murders, Serena cast a protection spell which included many different hand and arm gestures.
- Auger de Gomay, Auger de Gomay
- Ancient one of the Earth so deep,
- Master of moon and sun.
- I shield you in my Wiccan way,
- Here in my circle round.
- Asking you protect this space,
- And offer your sun force down.
History[]
Something Wicca This Way Comes[]
Serena is seen feeding her cat, whom she affectionately calls "Baby" as she prepares her altar for a spell. The spell turns out to be a protection spell and as she finishes her chant, a strange man walks up behind her scaring her. But she knows who it is, smiles, and asks why he has come over. He pulls out an athame and stabs her in the stomach, killing her.
Andy Trudeau and his partner Darryl Morris arrive on scene of the murder. Andy asks Darryl about the killing and explains his theory of it being part of a witch hunt.
