Selena (The Sacred Stones)
| ||||||||||||||
|
“ | Prince Ephraim, you cannot understand. I know the path I'm given is foolish. Yet I am a knight, and I have no other. | ” | — Selena |
---|
Selena (Japanese: セライナ Celina) is a character in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. She is one of Grado's Imperial Three, having been promoted many years ago when Valter was stripped of the title, and is one of Vigarde's most loyal supporters. While she appears as a boss in the main story, she can be recruited as a special character in the game's Creature Campaign feature.
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
Role
Selena, being a loyal general of Grado, is an enemy of Ephraim and Eirika.
Her first appearance is in Chapter 2: The Protected, she is in Ide warning the villagers to lock their doors due to bandit activity. If Eirika happens to visit the village, Selena does not recognize her, and pays her with a red gem to chase off the bandits after Eirika claims to be a mercenary for hire.[1] Selena appears again after Chapter 8: It's a Trap! at the Tower of Valni with Caellach, they wipe out the majority of the Frelian guard and destroy Frelia's Sacred Stone. After the successful mission the two retreat to Grado. If Eirika's route is chosen later on in the game, these are Selena's only in-person appearances in the game.
In Ephraim's route Selena appears, chasing down a fellow member of the Imperial Three, Duessel, on orders from Vigarde. However, Valter diverts her attentions by giving her a message from Vigarde, the emperor wants her back at Grado Keep, as she has been deemed untrustworthy. Selena appears again later in Ephraim's route, she is the boss of chapter 13. Myrrh approaches her, intending to ask Selena to return her Dragonstone, and tells Selena about the darkness festering in Grado Keep. While she does not return Myrrh's Dragonstone, Selena does allow her to go back to Ephraim before the looming battle begins. She refuses to back down despite realizing her emperor is probably not the man she swore to serve[2] and is killed by Ephraim's forces.
In the Creature Campaign Selena can be recruited as a bonus unit. In this appearance, and like all other Creature Campaign characters, she has no dialogue or support conversations with other characters.

Fire Emblem Heroes
Role
There are two different variations of Selena available to Heroes, both based on her storyline appearance in The Sacred Stones. The normal variation of Selena is one of the characters added to the game in the Book V launch update, and became available for summoning by players on December 8, 2020. A summer variation of Selena was first made available to be summoned by players on June 18, 2020 as part of the summoning event surrounding the launch of the Summer Passing update; the addition of this variation of Selena marked the first time a character who shares their English name with another fully-distinct character (discounting different variations of series mascot Anna) already on the Heroes roster became a part of Heroes. Selena is one of a very few characters to date who had a special variation made available to players before their normal variation in which the normal variation has actually been added to the game, another example being Ilyana.

Personality and character
Selena was born in a lowly backwater village in Grado. During a time of hardship, emperor Vigarde sent supplies to the village, Selena was shocked by the emperor's gifts; her village wasn't even able to pay its taxes.[3] The emperor's kindness is what inspired her entrance into Grado's knighthood.[4]
Selena's kindness did not dull after becoming one of the Imperial Three, desiring to help even Renais citizens in their times of peril during the war. Her kindness has also won the love of Grado citizens.[5] She is very dedicated, perhaps too dedicated, her dedication leading to her death in the War of the Stones, serving an emperor that had long been dead himself.

Fire Emblem Cipher
Selena is currently featured on one card in Fire Emblem Cipher.
As both this Selena and a Fates character with an identical English name have both featured in Cipher, there are a number of schemes devised among the fandom in order to differentiate the two. As this Selena first appeared in Cipher after the Fates Selena did, the full card names in the below box will treat this Selena's name as "Selena (Magvel)", in line with how Japanese Cipher parlance differentiates Gray from Asugi, Deen from Deen, Linda from Linde, and Claude from Claud.
- The below card's epithet is still in raw, untranslated Japanese; it needs translation.

Trivia
- One of the classes that appears when lingering at the title screen too long shows a male Mage Knight with Selena's color scheme.
- When the player forces Duessel to fight Selena, Selena tells Duessel to settle their battle "with steel", despite the fact that Selena can only use magic and staves.
- During the original release of Selena: Fluorspar in Heroes, Selena was erroneously credited as being voiced by Julie Ann Taylor, the English voice actress who voices the Nohrian mercenary with the same name. This was corrected in a later update.
