Selene Lunis stands at a height of 5'6" and she has a slender body shape. Her skin is light brown in color and she has long black hair that goes past her shoulders. Her sharp eyes are such a rich, piercing shade of brown that they are almost gold in color.

Selene is, in fact, a duel-wielder. She carries around a dagger and something like a makeshift rope dart made with dark ribbons and a smaller, but sharp blade. She wraps the ribbons around her left arm so she is able to use the blade of the rope dart for closer range as well, but once she loosens it she could easily launch it at somebody else. She could use the rope dart for twining, binding, circling, hitting, piercing, tightening, etc.

Selene Lunis is usually a bit of a 'mellow' person. She is cool, level-headed, reserved, and solitary. She’s not much of a talker and she is very introverted, but she is friendly enough that she's not that hard to talk to. She doesn't prefer to socialize and would much rather keep to herself or with a small group of friends. Either way, Selene seriously doesn't talk much to anyone else, but she does tend to talk a bit more when she's around people she's more familiar with.

Despite her more withdrawn behavior, this doesn't mean that she does not have a sense of humor, even if it is a bit more reserved than others. What I mean by this is that if you manage to break through her hardened shell, even if just for a little bit, she might end up letting out a small, genuine chuckle. And maybe a full-on laugh, too, if you're that funny. This can be sometimes hard to do as she’s hard to get close to. But once you do get close to her, you'll find that Selene isn't so above it all after all, and that she is absolutely willing to do silly things with her friends.

Selene is intelligent, observant, and cunning, too. Selene is able to come up with a quickly-made strategy based on what she knows and she is also able to see a lot of the little details and put them together to form the bigger picture. She is full of knowledge on multiple subjects. However, while she could be a good tactician, she's better at thinking up of something and making decisions on her feet, and she'd most likely leave the initial in-depth planning to someone else.

She is also extremely determined and driven. Once she sets a goal for herself, there is hardly anything that can stop her from achieving that goal. Selene will push herself to her very limits to make sure that she reaches it. Unfortunately, this can cause her to also neglect doing basic day-to-day necessities, such as eating and sleeping, and it might have to take another person to really snap her back into shape.

However, if her goals have anything to do about the world and the crime and injustice going on, Selene would definitely be motivated for it. She's kind and has a sense of justice that she tries to live by, and she always feels guilty about her past mistakes. In fact, Selene perhaps lets her past take control of her mind a bit too often. Even if she's lost all her memories, she'll always have a feeling deep down that she's done something wrong that she was probably never going to be forgiven for, which lead her to develop such a strong sense of justice in the first place.

And even though she holds high moral beliefs and has a strong sense of justice, Selene is quite jaded toward the world. She has been through quite a lot and she often doesn't expect good things from many other people, and although Selene is willing to become friends with others on a surface level, it'll take a bit more to get to know her on a deeper level. She does think that the world is awful and cruel, and so are many of the people in it.

Yet she also believes that the world and its inhabitants are not bad at heart, and that anyone could make a change for the better. While she may have some less-than-optimistic views of the world they live in as well as other people, she doesn't hate them, and she holds hope that the future will be much better than the present. A better future is not just something that she believes in, but also something that she wants to fight for.

But...Selene perceives herself to be a coward, and a bit of a hypocrite. And she's not entirely wrong, either. The moment that all personal matters relating to her past starts catching up to her, Selene chooses to run. She acknowledges this, and she hates herself for it. Selene never wants to face her past and everything she's done even when she knows that she deserves to suffer punishment for it. She hates the person that she was back then and she hates the person that she is now, because she sees herself as a paranoid coward who abandons everything the moment too much trouble starts appearing.

Selene has done a lot of running in her life that at this point she's pretty much accustomed to it. She sees it as the easiest option, easier than actually facing her past and the mistakes she's made. She is more likely to run the moment that her personal trauma and problems start catching up to her in some form, especially when she's with friends, because she believes that no one else needs to suffer for anything else that she did.

She has trouble accepting the affection and loyalty of other people because she doesn't believe that she deserves it. She doesn't want to get genuinely, deeply close to very many other people because she believes that she'd just end up being a burden to them, even when she could feel that they don't have any bad intentions. Yet there is still the question of whether or not she wants to protect them more than she wants to protect herself.

Despite that, once you manage to break through Selene's hard shell, she will fight for you. She will show the blood on her teeth, she will bite, she will get blood on her claws, all just to defend the people she cares about. Selene is loyal to those who stick around long enough to gradually break through her hardened outer shell, and therefore they matter to her more than she could express in words.

Growing up on the streets was by no means a pleasant experience for Selene Lunis. Although humans definitely had many, many people of noble status among them, Selene was not one of them. She grew up as an orphan, a street rat, and she had never known any sort of parental figure in her life, so she had given herself some last name just so she could feel a bit better to herself. Right from an early age, she taught herself that she could only rely on herself to survive.

But right from the start, she was a young girl with big dreams. She was optimistic back then, and she had a lot of hope and ideals and energy. Even with her situation, she viewed the world through a rose-tinted lens, and she looked anywhere she could for any sort of positivity. She believed that the world really was a kind place and that there were many heroes in the world who was willing to help out a young girl like her.

So was it really any surprise when she attached herself right onto the first person who showed her any bit of affection? Well, right. His name was Cermait, and he was about fourteen years old at the time, whereas Selene was about seven. He, too, was a young orphan with little trust for authoritative figures, so of course the both of them got along relatively fast, and they definitely got along very well.

Naturally, as a young girl who didn't know any better, Selene developed a crush on Cermait. And, disturbingly enough...he knew about it, and he enabled it. Looking back on it now, Selene doesn't know why Cermait had allowed those feelings to grow, or why he did all of that to her. Perhaps he just liked having someone to control, since he didn't have control of many other things in his own life.

Regardless of what his reason was, Selene found herself in her first 'relationship' at the age of twelve.

And for her, it was a nightmare.

As Cermait grew in height and stature and strength, he also grew in his violence. He had a temper that she couldn't always control, even if she could tell when someone or something had set it off.

The both of them joined an underground group of rogues, criminals, and thieves who taught them how to properly fight. It was them who gave Selene the armor she still wore today, even if it was only Cermait who had wanted to join the group. But not wanting to be separated from him, Selene had joined him, and had committed plenty of acts with him. They had not only taken valuable items (and for some others it was their entire livelihood), but they had also taken lives.

Selene's not proud of all the blood she's got in her hands, and she's not proud of the fact that she even enabled Cermait in his violence. Yet at the time she had been afraid of him, for Cermait had shown over and over to her that he was just as capable of directing his stress and violence and anger toward her if not at someone else, no matter how much he claimed to love her.

For years, Selene didn't want to leave him, because he was the first person to show her any sort of kindness and made her feel as if she was worth something. Of course, Cermait's abuse of her started long before Selene became twelve, but back then Selene couldn't have seen it. She was young, and she was desperate, and Cermait had seen that and taken advantage of it.

Because of Cermait, Selene had done far too many things that would never leave her for many years to come. And it didn't help that Cermait himself was...manipulative. He was emotionally and physically abusive toward her, and he had even showed signs of it when they first met. But Selene only realized it when she was twenty years old, and then she attempted to leave.

Cermait tried with all his power to make her stay, but Selene had already gathered whatever of her possessions she wanted to take, and she went to leave. But Cermait had found her before she could go, and the two got into a fight that ended with Cermait slashing his dagger diagonally across Selene's stomach, but fortunately the wound was not that deep. When Selene made it clear that she wanted to leave, even just through begging and crying to Cermait, he was disgusted with her for wanting to leave after everything he had done for her.

So Cermait allowed her to treat her own injury, and then after that, she was on her own. Selene ran then, and she hardly dared to look back. Yet even after everything that had happened, Selene still held a lot of love for Cermait...and there were some thoughts that told her that she should go back to him, that he didn't really mean all of that. But she never really got around to doing that.

And somewhere down the road, Selene was, eventually, killed after some members from the group of thieves tracked her down, found her, and had her killed.
