Serena Fredrick
From Charmed
Serena Fredrick was a solitary magical practitioner witch in her mid- to late 20's, who lived in The Talmadge, an apartment building in North Beach, San Francisco. She was the third witch killed by Jeremy Burns, a warlock who stole her power in mid-1998.
She lived in an apartment with her familiar, a cat, who would become the Charmed Ones familiar, Kit, following her death. Serena was a nurse at County General Hospital. On a stormy night during a full moon, she began to recite a Protection Spell, perhaps after hearing about the two victims' deaths. Ironically, she was killed by the warlock, Jeremy Burns during the middle of her protection spell after he broke into her house and surprised her from behind. She recognized him, and thought he was playing around, but he then killed her with an athame which sucked her powers into it.

Notes
- It is possible that she was romantically involved with Jeremy before he killed her, as she recognized him in a casual manner and it wouldn't be the only time he became romantically involved with a woman to get close enough to kill her.
- It is unknown why she had the symbol of the Triquetra tattooed onto her neck, or why Kit, who has a collar with the symbol on it, was her familiar before becoming that of the Charmed Ones, though this may all hint at some hidden connection between Serena and the destiny of the Charmed Ones (which could be as simple as that she was meant to have a place in the events related to the christening of their Power of Three).
- She is the first witch, and first overall character, ever seen on Charmed. Ironically, she is the first witch/innocent/overall character to die, as she is killed off at the end of the first ever scene, by the first villain, also the first warlock, who turns out to be the first at-the-time lover of a Halliwell witch as well, ever actually seen by the viewers in the history of the program.
