Sera is the youngest of three children born on Zhevra province, Andor. When Sera was eleven, during the height of the Dominion War, Sera's family feared that Andor was under imminent threat from invasion and evacuated to Lunar One Colony. Sera's family were among a minority of families to take this offer and her families reputation has been tarnished by many other Andorians who believe those who fled were cowards.

Spending her teenage years on Lunar, was a mixed experience for Sera. Even though Andor had always been at the heart of the Federation, Andorians have found it difficult to bond with other species. This led Sera to have some very awkward teenage years, she found it very difficult to socialize with her peers and spent much her first year on Lunar as an outcast at her school. This began to change when Sera joined the wrestling team at age thirteen, naturally disciplined Sera found the tough wrestling practices extremely fulfilling. Sera lost her first six matches in a row, but eventually become one of the teams better wrestlers and found her teammates wanting to socialize with her a lot more.

During Sera's first mission on the Gorkon she was part of an away team investigating Leutra IV, a planet that in theory shouldn't exist. Due to it's a lush, temperate M-class planet, but it's in orbit around a magnetars. While on the planet, there was a massive solar flare that knocked out all the team equipment and forced the teams to find cover in a nearby cave system. Sera awoke in darkness and remembered that she had fallen into a pitfall upon entering the cave, cut off and in darkness she was able to signal for help but was rescued by mechanical spiders, caretakers of the cave. Unfortunately, she believed they were going to eat her and resisted her rescue until she was dropped at the feet of her away team. For the rest of the mission Sera served her team by repairing and recharging personal equipment until herself, Ensign Tasha MacFarlane and Lt. Commander Alerta Millis salvaged a secondary com array from a wrecked Ranger shuttle which they were able to use to contact the Gorkon and arrange a rescue.
