Selene has gone through many changes over the years of her life. She used to be a somewhat timid, soft-spoken girl but she has grown into a maturing, self-assured woman. There are many aspects of her past self that have changed due to the circumstances of her life. When she was born, she was adventurous and rowdy. She eventually calmed down after a terrible run-in with some bandits, and her sense of adventure was lost. She preferred the safety of her town, which was comfortable for her. Her world was shaken when she was chosen by the Goddesses to fulfill a duty to her land and people. The adventures and creatures she was forced to face made her hardy and strong. The timidity and fear in her heart was now filled with courage and certainty. She still gets her bouts of fear, everyone should, but she doesn't let it control her life nearly as much as it used to.[break][break]

She is a wholesome girl, with her flaws and faults and beautiful quirks. Selene can still be quite naïve to most of the ways of the world, and Hyrule is unfamiliar to her and so she is still learning about new cultures and practices. While she may accidentally step on some toes, she certainly didn't mean to. Her sense of adventure is always brimming to the edge and with the land of Hyrule to explore, she definitely gets a little carried away and might even land herself in danger a time or two.[break][break]

Deep down, though, she's still the polite and caring girl that she has always been and always will be.

Selene was born into a loving family. Her mother and father fell in love and had their first child fairly quickly. Helio Merrows was born first, and a few years later came Selene. Selene adored her brother and made her feel safe. Their youngest sister, Eos, was born five years after Selene, and the family was complete... for a time. Their father was a wanderer at heart, and he took to exploring again after he knew his family would be okay. Selene hasn't seen him since.[break][break]

For the most part, her life was normal. Her brother was protective, her younger sister was a bit bratty. It was easy to see that Selene got along with her brother more, though he doted on each sister equally. Selene didn't spend much time with her girly sister and preferred to go on "adventures" with her brother. She'd much rather play the Knight than the Princess when playing pretend. It was her fearless nature that got her into a bit of trouble later on.[break][break]

Her brother was the apprentice mailman in their town, and Selene would often go along with him and the mailman when they took the caravan out to deliver packages. There was one time in particular, when she was around fifteen, when the mailman urged them both not to come along. Selene's brother was just about as stubborn as she was, and so she made her way onto the caravan along with her brother. The caravan was attacked by some bandits in a scary part of the land, and her brother ended up sustaining a permanent shoulder injury while trying to protect Selene from a volley of arrows. Her brother was never quite the same, and he left home much the way their father did; without so much as a goodbye or reason.[break][break]

Selene was more devastated when her brother left than when her father had. Her brother had been such an important role model and fatherly figure than anyone could ever know. She became more closed off and reserved when he left. She lost her sense of adventure and even grew timid because of it. She took over his position as the mailman's apprentice, and soon took over full mailman-ship when the old one retired. It was sometime later that she realized she was chosen by the Goddesses to defend her land and keep certain evils away. After a long and tireless journey, wins and losses, finding and losing love and heartache, she succeeded in her destiny and eventually lived a life of peace for a time after.[break][break]

Having experienced thrilling adventure, her wanderlust soon bubbled over. Being stuck in her hometown, delivering mail every day was just not cutting it for her. When her best friend Josh talked about searching for a new place to settle, Selene seemed eager to go along with him. She then set out for a new land: Hyrule. Josh eventually found a place to settle into while Selene just couldn't truly find her place, though she knew she would be welcome at the ranch any time.[break][break]

Her time in Hyrule had been fairly eventful (like staving off baddies in Kakariko Village) before she suddenly received a letter from her sister. Their mother had grown ill, and her sister Eos could not take care of her alone. With much hesitation, she made the decision to travel back home. Letters were her only source of communication between herself and her best friend in Hyrule; though about six months after leaving, her letters stopped. Her mother had finally succumbed to her illness, and it broke her heart. Eos became increasingly bratty and insufferable. Selene just did not want to talk to anyone during that dark time; however, she finally let the sunlight back into her life and made her way back to Hyrule once more... and she hopes to surprise those she left behind.[break][break]


HEADCANONS[break][break]

• Her favorite color is lilac, despite not wearing it often. She much prefers darker, moodier colors.[break]
• Selene's scent of choice is a custom mixture of pink freesia, red apples and water lilies. She purchased this perfume in a beautiful crystal bottle in the Market some time ago and has worn it ever since.[break]
• Her mode of transportation is a beautiful palomino-colored gelding named Saffron. She used to be afraid of large animals, but he is incredibly gentle and intelligent that she couldn't help but fall in love with him. Josh lets her board him at his ranch when she needs to take a break from her adventuring.[break]
• Selene's favorite flower is a sunflower. She even set up a garden on Dragelion Ranch, dedicated to growing such plants. In fact, her garden is rather large and full of many different varieties; she even made a small area in its center to hide out and relax.
