She does, however, react to an Amulet of Mara. Serana is not interested in joining the Blades, becoming your steward, or marriage. In response to a "Wait here" command, she tells you, in no ambiguous terms, that she will continue to follow you, albeit with a distance. While the Bloodline quest is active, she refuses to exchange inventory items, as she doesn't trust you. You can tell Serana to wait, come along with you, or exchange inventory items, but she might decline. All of these actions are visual only they have no gameplay impact. She sticks close to you, but might sit, read, eat, lean on a wall, use crafting stations (anvil, smelter, workbench, arcane enchanter, etc.), cook, or even mine ore veins. While the other followers act as if they are on an invisible leash, Serana behaves more like an independent person. She does not use one of the four personas of the base game (Imperial, Nord, Orc, or Argoant). Serana does not behave like other followers.

Her attire choice logic ignores the fact the she has no need for items that bestow cold resistance while she is a vampire. She might wear the attire you place in her inventory, although she completely ignores those included in the Arcane Accessories DLC.

She dons a unique hood when outside, which visually obscures her headgear. Serana wears a Vampire Royal Armor and a pair of Vampire Boots. If you find her, you can recruit her, regardless of the location. After completing the Dawnguard campaign, she often roams Skyrim in search of adventure. After completing the Beyond Death quest, she can also be found in Valerica's study. If you choose the Volkihar Vampire Clan, however, you can find her at Volkihar Keep.

If you join the Dawnguard, you can find her at Fort Dawnguard. Her main location during gameplay depends on your allegiance. In many ways, Serana is a unique follower.
