Background
Not much is known about this mystery girl yet other than the fact that she is skilled at Jeet Kune Do, a type of martial arts.
Appearance
At first, she wears a fedora and a dark jacket which giver her an androgynous appearance. When she transfers to Teitan High, she gets rid of her fedora and wears appropriate female clothing. Her hair is dark, wavy, and short; it doesn't even touch her shoulders.
Personality
Sera has a friendly and quirky personality. She fails to correct Sonoko's impression she is a man and even makes it worse by declaring that Ran was "his type".[1] She seems to be prone to dramatics like most detectives seem to be, but perhaps to a lesser degree than Shinichi or Hattori as she bluntly says who the criminal is without preamble. Although she has crime scene experience[2], Sera seems to be less skilled as a detective than Conan, missing a critical clue that was necessary to understand how the murderer's setup worked. Her catchphrase may be "case closed".
Plot overview
Sera first met Sonoko, Ran, and Conan on a bus after she was mistaken for a groper. After Sonoko declared Sera was the groper, Sera and Ran got into a fight, with Sera's Jeet Kune Do holding even against Ran's karate. Conan and Sera cleared up the misunderstanding by pointing out the real groper. Sonoko then mistook Sera for a boy, an impression which wasn't helped by Sera declaring that Ran was "his type".[1] Sera and Ran both discovered they were heading to the same hotel.
Sera finds out the hotel she is staying at doesn't have a room available and complains at the front desk. A man then falls into the parking lot and dies. Conan runs to the source of screaming while Sera told the guard to watch the elevators before running to the roof. She immediately declares the crime to be a murder, giving her reasoning. She then reveals her name, Sera, that she is a detective, and knows Conan is a detective as well.
Speculation
Sera knew Conan and Ran's identities before they introduces themselves and additionally recognized Conan as a detective. This may indicate Sera has done research or follows stories about Conan's achievements or she has had contact (indirect or direct) with Conan and Ran. Ran and Conan though didn't recognize Sera. She might be one of Ran's rivals, though Ran, did not recognize him. Another possibility is that Sera could be Bourbon from the Black Organization, though that is starting to look unlikely due to the fact that Bourbon is thought to be a male while Sera is a female. Sera may be foreign, as she is staying in a hotel, uses the English phrase "Case closed", and introduces herself by her given name only.
