⚜ In-depth Relationships ⚜
Personality:
♦ Extremely Forceful ♦ Socially Awkward ♦ Fiercely Loyal ♦ Snarky And Cold-Hearted ♦ Absolutely Relentless ♦ Viciously Tempered ♦ Scared and Insecure ♦
An extremely forceful, though also a fiercely independent young woman, Selena has always been noted by those lucky enough to get to know her for being a relatively hard working, and quite the cold-hearted individual; her rather vast intelligence in a range of subjects, and at times quite intuitive nature, coupled with her time spent within Talon proving her to be (time and time again) both quite studious and productive whenever she the need to be so. While at times seen to show an immense amount of not only social conscience, but also social tenacity and then, on the rare occasion, social awkwardness (brought on by her many years of abuse); Selena’s strong emphasis upon logic has, more times than none, made her quite the sceptic about accepting almost anything without being presented with any form of rational proof, or hard physical evidence… nevertheless, as the years continue to pass her by, she has both seen and learnt more about the world she’s a part of, and as such, has become slightly more willing to accept things as they are; willing to also now come to intuitive conclusions.
Rarely ever showing others the rather high sense of responsibility that she feels due to being the daughter of Gabriel Reyes (Reaper), or the deep seated fear and scarring terror she holds thanks to her abusive past; Selena seldom ever regrets any of the choices she has made which have led her to where she stands in the present. Mostly closed off, though still a slightly free-spirited young woman, Selena is usually always classed as only ‘putting up’ with those who find themselves lucky enough to be considered her ‘friends’, often making her come across as sharp of tongue, and exceedingly quick of wit- her light cynicism, and on the fleeting occasion, bad temperament and snarky attitude often leaving her to be the voice of reason among her more… impulsive of friends, however to varying levels of success.
Despite her seemingly antisocial, and cold-hearted disposition towards all those around her however, Selena does indeed have a both softer, and more compassionate side to her that not many a person gets the chance to see; her fierce loyalty towards those she both calls and considers to be close to her shining through, showing itself (more times than none) when those she cares about are in trouble… in immediate danger… are seriously hurt or injured… or are on their way to death. However, oftentimes keeping this more caring side to herself well hidden behind the walls she had built up over the years, Selena chooses to instead become quite vengeful; holding grudges against those who are responsible for whatever it is that had caused her to feel that way in the first place, showing all around her that she is not one to forgive easily.
In spite of her rather straitlaced disposition, however, Selena is nowhere near above using coercion or threats to get just what it is that she wants; the young woman learning quickly from her father that she needs to be unafraid to stand up to not only her enemies, but also those that she considers to be her friends, especially when she truly believes in her heart that it is in her best interests, or that they are in the wrong. Her actions proving that she can be both extremely cruel and harsh towards those who cross her, or towards those of whom she dislikes; her strong focus and determination showing that she can indeed become absolutely relentless- the young woman not above taking revenge out on those who have wronged the people close to her in her life; whether it me something as simple as kicking their ass or injecting poison into their system, or something of a much more permanent nature such as taking their lives without so much as a second thought.
Regardless of her rather overly opinionated, and oftentimes infuriating nature; Selena, in her younger years, held fast her status of being quite the sweet-hearted, rather shy, and oftentimes sensitive and caring young girl, however, now much older, and having experienced more of the world, Selena now has a much better understanding of just what it is the world she is a part of has to offer. Even so, her sometimes abrasive attitude, masked with her many deep insecurities and strong fear of failure cause her to oftentimes feel as though she needs to prove herself, not only to those who did their best to raise her, but also to the mother she has never known; however, this is partly because of the many people who indeed look down upon her due to the reputation she had gained by being the daughter of Gabriel Reyes, and having followed in his footsteps to become an agent of Talon.
Nevertheless, Selena tries her best, never truly letting anyone use her past life as a means to try and bully or belittle her in anyway; the young woman (since once again slowly opening back up to others around her) never having any issues when it comes to ignoring, standing up to, or even engaging any morons who dare to, and are stupid enough to try and get on her nerves, or her bad side. However, despite her strong confidence within both her skills and her abilities, Selena is rarely ever shown to be exceedingly arrogant, or conceited; and although she is not shown in public to be as short-tempered as some of her friends, she is quick to get annoyed, and has been known to be easily frustrated- the young woman never once backing down from an argument. With a strong attitude that can match all and any she comes across in Talon, and an indestructible, though if not slightly twisted passion for chaos and trouble; Selena does all that she can to try her best at whatever she does, or whatever she puts her mind to, even if nothing ever truly works out for her in the end.

Abilities
Umbrakinesis/ Shadow Travel: Taking after her father, Selena is extremely skilled in the art of shadow travel, able to use them to transport not only herself, but also others over great distances, however it has been shown that the longer the distance, the stronger the wear and fatigue that befalls her after the journey- however, a downside to this particular ability, overexertion of shadow travel can cause her molecular structure to begin to fall apart, gradually turning her into the very shadows themselves, causing her to lose herself, or even on the rare occasion, to enter what is known as a shadow coma.
Weapons
Hellfire Shotguns: Given to her consecutively by her father, the first when she turned thirteen and the second when she turned sixteen; Selena owns and maintains two hellfire shotguns, each extremely lethal at close range, however growing more ineffective the further away she grows.
Ultimate Ability
Death Blossom: Taking after her father, Selena shares in his ability of 'Death Blossom", allowing her to move in a blurred motion as she empties both of her hellfire shotguns in quick succession, helping her to deal mass amounts of damage to all and any in near proximity; however, due to both the fact that she is still learning this skill, and the fact that she rarely gets training from her father, she doesn't always manage to hit her mark.
Other: Though she refuses to show anyone around her, not even her family or those she considers to be her friends, how she truly feels about what happened to her in the past; Selena is only ever truly terrified of one thing in the world, that thing happening to be the very ex-boyfriend who abused her not only mentally, but also physically as well for a large portion of her life.
Seemingly enjoying to just sit back, and relax without letting on that anything is bothering her in any way; when not hanging out with her friends, Selena is often found sitting alone within the Talon base either reading, sketching or listening to music- the only thing that truly gets her to show any sort of love and excitement being the one holiday of the year that she truly enjoys: Halloween.
Absolutely hating to be used or caught up within large crowds of people when it can be avoided; Selema has quite a large disdain for those who tend to gain unfairly against others, and has no qualms with both interfering in, and putting a complete stop to such situations much to her own disgust- the young woman often choosing to hide away alone within the isolation of the base with a brooding mood whenever the Christmas holiday comes around.
Theme Song:
"In The End" by Black Veil Brides.
Lyrics:
Born a saint,
But with every sin I still wanna be holy,
I will live again.
Who we are,
Isn't how we live,
We are more than our bodies,
If I fall,
I will rise back up and relive my glory.
In the end,
As you fade into the night,
Who will tell the story of your life,
And who will remember your last goodbye,
'Cause it's the end and I'm not afraid,
I'm not afraid to die.
