Biography[]
Serena Dunbrook was a 34-year-old business lawyer employed by the firm of Berman, Rautbort & Associates in Portland, Oregon. She was also breed of Wesen known as a Hexenbiest, which is a type of witch/ogre. Other members in the firm were also Wesen, including Camilla Gotlieb and senior partner Harrison Berman. Dunbrook and others at the firm were embroiled in a case that caused the shut-down of the Primrose Paper Mill - a family owned operation headed up by a Mellifer named Melissa Wincroft. When the mill went under, Wincroft lost everything. As such, the "Bee Woman" sought revenge against those responsible, and specifically targeted the Hexenbiest at the firm.
One morning, at 7:14 am, Serena boarded the the Portland street car out of Hillsboro on her way to work. To her surprise, a flash mob broke out on the car, dancing to the song "Y.M.C.A.". Beneath everyone's notice, a bee got into the street car and stung Serena, just below her left ear. She was poisoned with enough apitoxin that death was instantaneous. The flash mob exited the car at their predetermined spot, leaving the conductor to discover Serena's body.
She was taken to the morgue, where Portland Police Bureau coroner Doctor Harper rendered cause of death as anaphylactic shock. [2]
