YES ANOTHER ONE OF THESE THINGS SHUT UP.

Now...

History:
Diagnosed with Dermatomyositis at the age of 5, Selena was often guarded over fiercely and given little to no freedom growing up. Because of this, she has lived up to her name and found a separate world in music, learning to play a couple of instruments in order to escape the mundane and boring everyday life she was living. The lack of freedom only pushed her even more so to travel and free herself, and this led to her running away from home. Now knowing they could no longer keep a free-spirited person trapped, yet worried that she'd find herself in all sorts of trouble with no one to help, Anders was gifted from her cousin to serve as Selena's bodyguard in a sense. At the age of 15, she left to journey through the different leagues, including the ones in Sinnoh and her cousin's home region of Johto.

When visiting the Unova region to compete in the league and receive higher medical attention and advice for her disability, she stumbled upon the Dreamyard, and soon Fennel's lab, where she experienced the Dream World for the first time. She joined the tournament in order to learn more about the Dream World and the experiences that both people and Pokémon have on entering said world.

Selena is barely Psychic; the only ability she has is telekinesis, which she uses to help support herself when she starts to get weak but still refuses help from Atticus. She grew an ability for it a year before her journey at 14 years of age, but even though it's been six years, using the ability still occasionally tires her out.

Other tidbits:

:bulletblue: Her favourite colour is either blue or white. It depends on the shade of blue.
:bulletwhite: Even though Psychic, she cannot use telepathy; Anders takes care of that for her.
:bulletblue: On that note, Anders and Atticus are the only ones who really benefit from the telepathy link Anders creates. Mario can too, but he chooses to speak in regular squawks, squeaks and chirps.
:bulletwhite: The instruments she plays are Clarinet and Guitar. She's played flute occasionally before and wants to learn to play piano.
:bulletblue: Selena has a fascination with the moon, living up to her name, and her last name describes a musical composition inspired by the night. She wears crescent moon earrings and a tie with music notes on it to represent who she is.


Personality:
Selena's disability has done very little to dampen her spirits; it instead encourages her to continue doing what she loves to do. Unfortunately, she has a very stubborn streak in her that prevents her from taking an "r&r" when she is supposed to, and if she wants to be out and about instead of "restrained like a criminal to a bed", then, well...she will be. Generally though, her health problems have given her a more optimistic; albeit naïvely reckless, view of life, always saying something along the lines of "it could be worse, but they aren't yet, so who cares?"

She is very easy to approach and tends to be very bubbly and friendly, quick and willing to make a new friend anytime and anywhere, and it is very rare for her to not trust anyone. Selena is probably the person to who they created the expression "Physician, heal thyself", as she hides her physical pain and passes it off as being nothing while offering a helping hand to her friends, even though she knows she needs it at times as well.

Selena has a personal bond with her pokémon and has a soft spot for birds because of her Staraptor, which was the house/pet pokémon until she was old enough to leave on her own. If she sees a bird pokémon that is puffy and fluffy enough, she will most likely tackle it and then explain herself as she continues petting it. She's kind of goofy like that, but it's ok. She's known to be extremely naïve.

On a side note - Selena hates the cold. It aggravates her condition, weakens her Pokémon, and that's enough reason to dislike it. So she hates it. Period.

Anders | Gallade (shiny)
Brave Nature | Thoroughly cunning
Steadfast | Wide Lens
Psycho Cut - Focus Blast - Ice Punch - Leaf Blade


Anders is Selena's right hand man...er, well, pokémon. Anders has served as a kind of bodyguard for Selena from a young age along with Mario, keeping her out of danger and serving as her conscience. He cares for her very deeply and would defend her with his life in a heartbeat (as all in the ralts family have a tendency to do). He's basically a taller, kick-butt version of Jiminy Cricket. He can have a sense of humour and relies on not just strength, but wits when in battle. He constantly worries over Selena and is always the one to try and get her to sit down and rest every once in awhile. Luckily he has Atticus to physically make her rest.

Anders wears a piece of a wide lens as a pendant around his neck.

Mario | Staraptor
Quirky Nature | Loves to Eat (that's not even hitting it...)
Reckless | Focus Band
Brave Bird - Fly - Pursuit - Heat Wave


Mario is Selena's loveable, fluffable, eccentric, goofy ball of feathers. He is just as naïve as Selena is, and this often lands the two of them in trouble. He is constantly hungry (think of your typical teenage guy here) and will either peck or try to eat anything he comes across that looks interesting, colourful, shiny, or all of the above. He serves as the smiles for Selena and always acts in a goofy enough way to cheer her up whenever she's down or out of commission from her disability. His actions can be unpredictably silly, but one thing's for sure - mutter even a word meant to harm Selena and the cuddly ball of feathers becomes a cuddly monster of doom.

Mario wears a focus band tied around his leg (like how a bird wears a band around its leg to identify it if it escapes from its owner).

Atticus | Dragonite
Careful Nature | Proud of its Power
Inner Focus | Charcoal
Draco Meteor - Surf - Dragon Rush - Fire Punch


Atticus treats Selena like she was his baby Dragonite sister, although that's because he's treated like the older brother. Not that he minds - he loves the role and often brags about it, looking for any opportunity to prove just how awesome he is and how he can be the best big brother ever. He is as affectionate to her as she is to him and uses it to his advantage, grabbing her into a big dragonite hug to keep her down (hugs from her 'mon are her weakness) when she needs to be. Atticus is a little too overprotective, insisting (and sometimes forcing with said hug-tackles) that she stay down at the first sign of tiredness, even when both Selena and Anders know it's really nothing that'll hurt her. Even though he has a weakness to cold and ice, he fights against it for Selena's sake, knowing she becomes much weaker in such conditions, and has grown a bit stronger of an aversion to it than other dragon-types. He still has Fire Punch to use as a defensive though in case he needs it.

Atticus wears a regular green handkerchief to match Selena's choker, and inside of the handkerchief is a piece of charcoal to strengthen his Fire Punch. It is one of his main moves, as he uses it to warm up Selena as well when she isn't feeling well.

And for those who still stayed after all of that...

~Selena is basically me. I have the same condition she has, and that's where I got the inspiration for her character.
~Mario is based off my 'tiel :iconcockatielplz:, which is where inspiration for him comes from.

Hi there!  I just wanted to let you know that I cameo'd Selena in my Round 1 entry here: meip.deviantart.com/art/PDL-Ro… She was really fun to draw! :love:
