Serena van der Woodsen is the most beautiful girl in the world. She’s the girl who looks good without making any effort, who the tackiest clothes look good, who we all love to hate. She can get too outrageous (or spontaneous, whatever) that she got kicked out of her boarding school in Europe because she frolicked in Southern France. She can’t stick to one guy for more than a week but she is totally devoted to whoever she’s into.
Serena, Blair, and Nate were always the awesome threesome until Serena went away to Hanover Academy. Blair waged war on Serena when she first got back, especially when she found out that her boyfriend Nate had slept with Serena in their sophomore year.
Serena and Blair have been best friends since first grade. You don’t just totally give up girlfriends like that.
Pilot. Serena comes back to Manhattan to care for her brother Eric after a year at boarding school in Connecticut. She tries to get back to being best friends with Blair, who’s mad at her. While she’s being treated as an outsider, she meets another outsider, Dan Humphrey, who takes her out to a Lincoln Hawk concert. She goes to the concert and meets Dan’s dad, Rufus, while everyone else is partying at the Kiss on the Lips party. After the gig, Dan and Serena had to crash the party to save Jenny from Chuck, who had also pulled his moves on Serena the night before. By the end of the night, Dan and Serena were holding hands.
