Claws - Her hands can produce long claws that 

can easily pierce flesh and tear through thick and lightly armored clothing.

Strength -  She is very strong for a being of her stature.  She can easily lift up to 600 Lbs.  She often likes to grip a human in each hand and fly off with them.

Seductive Kiss - Serena loves to entral an unknowing victim under her control.  If she is able to kiss any bare skin, That person can fall victim to her suggestions.  Male or Female, the kiss will cause the person to become hopelessly in love with her and prone to her suggestions.  The enthralled person will not do something they are violently against doing, but would do as she bids on lesser tasks.  Someone with good mental shielding can resist her kiss, and she can only have one enthralled victim at one time.

Mass telepathy -  She can talk in people’s minds, but they can not speak back mentally. The range of the telepathy is about 500 yds, and she is limited to five beings at a time.   She can have a two-way conversation with her enthralled.

Vampiric Touch - When active, Serena can pull the energy from the one’s energy and heal herself and rejuvenate her youth.  For every second she is touching her victim, she appears to age a year and grow more weak.   It takes about an hour rest for each year she has drained off a victim.

Power Limitations: Most of her abilities are touch-based. Her ‘kiss’ can be broken if her victim is dazed  (very strong blow to the head) or knocked unconscious. It also wears off an hour after her last kiss. When the kiss wears off the thralled victim is immune from the kiss for five minutes before they can be enthralled again.

Her flight can be limited or taken away with damage to her wings  or if they are bond. Aversion to blessed items, and she can not enter blessed or holy grounds.

Hobbies and Interests: Serena loves to collect unholy items and magical artifacts.   She has a secret hoard in her collection spread out over the country.   Her largest is in New Orleans. Her favorite is a 12’ long bull whip that was owned by Tomas de Torquemada, leader of the Spanish Inquisition.  She has became quite good at it and can snap it with precision and bind legs or one or both arms to one’s body.

She is also a collector of secrets, through her thralls.

Background: Serena was born to two gypsies that were from Hungary in the year 1842.  Her mother, Isabella, could tell one’s future by tasting their blood.   After Serena was born, her blood was tasted and her mother saw she was destined for long life and power.

Their gypsy band travelled all over Europe, where Serena learns smattering of phrases from each country they visited.  Some of the languages include: Italian, French,  German, Spanish, and even some Russian. When Serena was a young teen, they were traveling around Paris.  During a Divination session, her mother was caught stealing from a French Aristocrat.  He pulled out his sabre and thrust it towards Isabella.  The man stumbled and his blade ended up through Serena.   In pain, she collapsed against this Aristocrat and held onto him.  This was when the first of her powers manifested as she drained all the life form his body to heal her mortal wound.

They had to flee Paris, but were not caught.   As they continued to travel, Serena discovered another gift.  She could enthrall anyone with a single kiss.   She used this to its fullest as she enthralled men and women of wealth and power.   She soon did not want the life of a Gypsy and left her parents.
