How Long Can You Keep Serana in Skyrim?

Serana, the vampire companion in Skyrim’s Dawnguard DLC, is a fascinating character to interact with, and many players wonder about her availability to follow after the initial events of her storyline. As we investigate, we will explore answers to this question and look at the details of managing Serana in the Elder Scrolls universe.

General Overview

As a blood-bound companion, Serana’s availability can be categorized into two periods: directly after the storyline and further into the game. Below are the major points in Serana’s availability spectrum:

• Initially, following the storyline of Dawnguard, Serana follows the player throughout the plot.
• Upon completing her storyline, she becomes an available follower to be instructed, dismissed, or remarried.
• As explored further, certain events impact her availability; these have significant implications on her permanent followership status.

Dismissing and Regetting Serana

Default Dismissal

During gameplay, when you disapprove of a follower request or dismiss one, and then re-select them using the "Retain Familiar" feature, previous follower relationships with Serana can be reclaimed. At any point before the above scenario, re-disrupting her journey will trigger the default "dismiss Serana" animation.

Notable: After dismissing, Serana stays at Castle Volkihar or Dawngaurd Castle until re-call or re-meeting outside her home village.
