From the picture it is quite evident that she is very pretty, but this is not the only reason I would chose to be her. Serena Van der Woodsen, played by Blake Lively, is my favorite character from the show for a multitude of reasons starting from her social status and moving deeper into her personality and ability to handle situations that none of the other characters have the capacity to. Serena comes from a very very VERY rich family from the Upper East Side of Manhattan. She lives in a pent house apartment, goes to an elite prep school and eventually and Ivy League University, and has the closet any girl would dream to have. But, if it was just for the shallow reasons that I would chose to be Serena Van der Woodsen, I could have chosen to be any other character from the show. Yes, I would love to look like she does and I would love to live in a pent house apartment on the Upper East Side and i would love to go to an Ivy League University and I would LOVE to have her closet; but it is her personality that is most attractive to me. Even though Serena comes from a extremely wealthy family and could have any guy of her choice, for the majority of the series she is in a relationship with Dan Humphry, a boy from Brooklyn. Dan is looked down upon by the majority of the Upper East Side because of his lack of money but Serena is able to see past all of this and proves that she is not a shallow, privileged rich girl as many think she is. Serena is also a genuinely good friend. She and Blair Waldorf have been friends since birth but it was not always smooth sailing. Blair constantly pushed Serena down so that she could be on top but this did not bother Serena as much as it would most people. Serena was perfectly content being second to Blair because she did not find her worth in popularity. No matter how many fights her and Blair got in and no matter how many mean and hurtful things they said to each other, she was still always there when Blair needed her the most. Serena also grows a lot as a character in the series. In the beginning she is very wild and parties a lot, but after spending a year at boarding school she completely changes as a person. She lets go of that life of partying and matures, this is something none of the other characters do. Even though Serena has been through many hard times she still remains someone a girl could look up to. For example, before Serena went to boarding school, she witnessed a man die after snorting a line of cocaine, this would ruin many of the characters and hold them back from moving on and maturing but not Serena; when she comes home from boarding school she faces the man's parents and lets that time in her life go completely. Because of all of this I would chose to be Serena Van der Woodsen, not just because of how beautiful she is (although that sure does add to it) but because of her personality and depth of a character.
