She is violent and has a peevish behavior, which might be because she is of Saiyan descent. After Bardock is injured by the last surviving Kanassan, Seripa and others decide to return him back to their homeworld Planet Vegeta so that he could be healed.

The group leaves Bardock on Vegeta to recover, and set off to destroy the inhabitants on Planet Meat as their next assignment. They are able to easily destroy all of Meat's natives. However, in Freeza's betrayal, she meets and is killed by Dodoria and his team of elites.

Female Saiyans are very rare. In the manga not one appears, and in the anime, hardly any appear except for Seripa. Strangely, Fasha is one of the only female pure-blooded Saiyans to appear in the anime as a supporting character, as none have appeared in the manga. Although a brief story scene that Goku is told by Kaio-sama does briefly show several full-blooded male Saiyans and a full-blooded female Saiyan (with a knife in her mouth), all dressed in primitive clothing. Also, in Freeza's Flashback of King Vegeta's revolt, one of his elite guards was female.

However, the female Saiyans were not seen again until Pan and Bra were born decades later.

The original name of Seripa was given to her by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru was Kōn (コーン), a pun of the vegetable "corn". In Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru's original character designs for the movie, Fasha/Seripa wore a Battle Armor with shoulder pieces. At her waist, there was a cloth like substance which resembles a skirt. Her hair was also more bushy and larger. It is obvious that these changed when Akira Toriyama finished his draft of the characters.
