Serafina Pekkala

Encyclopedia : S : SE : SER : Serafina Pekkala

Serafina Pekkala is a witch queen in the His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman. She rules over certain clans in the district of Lake Enara in Finland. Serafina appears throughout the fantasy trilogy and is closely associated with the journey of Lyra Belacqua and her companions. Serafina Pekkala's dæmon is Kaisa, a large grey goose who is capable of being separated from Pekkala by long distances, as is normal with the dæmons of witches. She assists Lyra in her journey against her father, Lord Asriel

She once had a child with the Gyptian Farder Coram.

Her name apparently originated from Pullman's browsing of a Finnish telephone directory.
