Serena

"Oh, good! K... Here you go! Silver axes are pretty nice, too. Definitely up there in the whole precious-metal-axe scene. See how it cuts for yourself! B'bye, now!"

- Serena

Serena is a goddess dog in who appears in the town's fountain. She is the source of both the silver axe and the golden axe.

Appearance
Serena is a white with a white dress. She has large beady eyes and wears golden jewelry. On her head, she wears a veil, and also has large pointed ears in front.

Personality
Serena expresses dismay at people throwing axes at her. Her mood is highly unpredictable, though she can sometimes be kind to the player. If the player throws axes at her and she asks the player a series of questions, she can give the player a silver axe or golden axe once the player answers her questions; however, she usually returns the axe to the player or gives the player nothing.

In
In, Serena appears in the town fountain if the player throws an axe into it; this is done by swinging the Wii Remote or pressing while holding an axe. Serena will ask the player a series of questions, including, but not limited to, "Which axe did you throw?", "How do I look today?", "Did I seem goddessy?", and "Do you really not like me?", before asking them to choose her left or right hand. After the player answers the questions, Serena will either give them a silver axe, give a golden axe, return the standard axe, or give nothing, keeping the standard axe. The answers the player gives to her questions have no effect on the outcome. Sometimes, Serena won't ask any questions and will keep the axe the player threw.

This interaction is a reference to the fable, where a man drops his axe into a river and a god appears, asking him if he dropped a golden or silver axe. The man answers neither, and impressed by his honesty, the god gives him all three axes.

Serena also appears as a statue on the fountain in the city.
