UNSC Spirit of Fire AI Construct |
Serina was an artificial intelligence (AI) construct that was assigned to the UNSC Spirit of Fire, a modified Phoenix-class Colony Ship.
Description
Little is known about Serina other than the fact that she acts as a Military Advisory AI, which may or may not be her only function.[1] She is a smart AI[2], which is usually a sign of advanced memory capacity, like Cortana. In contrast, other AI's known throughout the Halo Canon exhibit only minor aspects of personality. Her avatar is a young female with long hair and her attire resembles a lab coat. She appears to have a British accent.
She seems to have a caring personality,[3] and she has a fascination with human relationships.[4] She's often acts sarcastic, and on the outside she seems not to care about anyone.
As the Spirit of Fire was too far away from UNSC territory and traveling without a Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine, it is unlikely that Serina was deleted.
