Selena "Sellie" Flareborne

Rewritten a little bit.

Deceptively strong despite her lithe body, can lift people or objects of up to three-hundred pounds / one-hundred thirty-six kilos, knows ice magic and is also a crackshot with most firearms. Has profound skill in firearms engineering, weapons manufacturing, armour manufacturing, and engineering of the latter two as well. Also skilled with magitech engineering.

Owns a .700 eight-shot riflescythe, the scythe of the weapon also acts as the butt/stock of it. Could carry feasibly any other firearm and use it to proficient effect, but prefers .500 revolvers as her sidearm.

Clothes tends to use hot pink as a trim, which is her symbolising colour for Blackdove Arms Company / Alice-Sellie munitions, a company she runs with her younger twin sister Alice. Tends to prefer black and white as a main colour for her armour and clothes.

Despite the always smiling pokerface that Sellie's capable of giving, one would ultimately assume that with such a face - her life must've lacked diversity and action. Thus, she's seen as one blissfully ignorant. Although historians and philosophers have begrudgingly worked together to find an answer towards one thing. What makes a Sellie? They had to draw the lines, and simply - A Sellie would be made through some rough hardship in a one year slump towards poverty, with nothing but her younger twin sister at her side. The bond created was stronger than diamond itself, as the two sisters had understood each other on a completely grand scale.

Selena Flareborne is the fourth child of the Knowledge-Flareborne family, being Alice's older twin sister. The two had rather sharp minds when they were young, and they vaguely remembered their parents at the age of three - up until their abandonment. Selena and Alice were found on the streets by a woman running an inn of renown, ran by attractive housewife-esque women. There were initially plans for the two to be raised amongst them and to become part of their "family". They were educated, fed, dressed. They had done chores since they were five, and had lived at the Inn for a total of seven years. Both girls were taught how to sew, Selena was taught how to perform with a violin. Alice was told how to even weave clothing and stitch any holes together in a barely noticeable fashion. However, as with good business goes: there will always be something to try and drive anything good under their heel.

The women were approached by a man who wanted to convert the Inn to a brothel during the night, the leading matron had refused. The man responded by spreading rumors, creating stiff competition, and blackmailing. The matron had never broke to the last, although the two eventually ruined the once good reputation of the illustrious inn, tarnishing it. Soon enough, the Inn had ran out of customers, and had to go out of business. The man from before had bought the inn, although changed up management. Alice and Sellie were given an option: Serve as it's illegal option for clientele, or get kicked out. They were kicked out, taking their belongings with them as they had gone. Selena had fear for the road ahead, although Alice on the other hand rationalized the situation and had schemed a plan for revenge.

The girls had to live through stealing others' property. And taking what could be offered. Sellie was able to make money off of violin performance until the strings had broken from lack of tools for maintenance and wear down. Alice was able to convince a chef to keep himself from throwing away a knife and to give it to her - citing that she wouldn't mind any durability to it. Using whatever money they could pilfer to avoid the coldest winter nights and move from place to place. They moved stealthily, and whenever they stole or committed anything else illegal - they'd wear black cloaks (made from whatever dark cloth Alice could scavenge) to disappear within the night as well as to hide their faces.

Being the most unlikely pair of criminals in looks from Sellie's timid behavior and Alice's togetherness in providing for her sibling, they were often overlooked by the police. Those that were more suspect of them were usually imprisoned for something they've done. Some would come for revenge for their actions, for either stealing from them or somehow landing them in prison. Some even noted making the two girls "pay out of their hides", although Alice's preparedness with a knife and innocent helpless look would catch any would be attackers offguard. As a result, the two would keep moving at their own pace; although eventually they came across a man who would be more prepared than them. The man had easily disarmed Alice, and the two had spilled into a fistfight in an alley. Selena would cry out and beg for the two to stop, although they only would after getting a punches and kicks in to one another. Both girls took note of the man looking rather similar in appearance.

The man wasn't set to kill Alice, although he did say that now that Alice tried to steal his wallet: That he'll be doing something about it. He at least allowed them to sate their curiosity in turn, and had both sisters and himself DNA and blood tested. After confirming that he was their brother (who now they know is a bit too young to be a soldier), he noted that he was too busy to take care of them. He gave them an option of a large array of textbooks to read off of, all of it coming from a majority of their brother's money. The topic agreed on was mainly Engineering - of the automobile, weaponry, and explosive varieties. Sellie had also took it one step farther and got a textbook on marketing. It's said that the aftermath had caused a drastic one-eighty shift, whereas any timid behavior had then disappeared and was replaced by a confident, more cheerful and lively set (complete with a pokerface smile). Alice on the other hand, had followed likewise, but with a textbook upon wilderness survival.

They balanced this with education from the Grand City Academy for military training later on, and they were taught marksmanship (with Alice having an unusual choice compared to today's conventional warfare: a bow). Both sisters became rather proficient snipers. Eventually, their brother visited them with a solemn look. He explained that while they are training, he has to carve into them and brand them with the same type of wounds and brands that he got (although he was ultimately a bit gentler compared to his deeper, heavier scars). The end result cause Selena completely silent and losing her pokerface for just a few days, before going back to it - although it was ultimately assumed that she was distraught in wondering why her brother would willingly hurt her for her own good. Alice had received her own without much emotional trouble.

Later after their training, the girls were allowed to accompany their brother on his missions (sometimes with just the three of them), planting bombs behind the scenes as Aster (their newfound brother) or Warden Team One had gained Genesis' attention. When given the signal, they'd detonate high yield explosives at areas of strategic importance for the Templari, using their previous lives as thieves as experience for stealthy movement. Soon enough, the end result would be driving Genesis outside of Kagerou for good; thus allowing their brother to make his move and found Orihara. The eager soldiers who had joined the Organization in Kagerou from the First Warden Team's actions had then became known as the Oriharans. Alice and Sellie had then returned to their studies for a time, before starting up their munitions business. They had no respect for patents and illegally modified various weapons, gaining new clientele in the process: The Kagerou Tengu Mafia (Kagerou-dan/Kagerou-kai depending on the group talking about them.)

After gaining a black market footing, the sisters had worked with their new friends and Aster to eradicate any presence of Genesis still present in Kagerou. The sisters (specifically Sellie) had learned from the Kagerou-dan in lessons, playing dirty to their competitors in order to run them out of business. Eventually, the sisters got rich enough to hire workers. Granted, any worker who tried to lie a hand on the sisters usually got punched and terminated, not in any specific order. Likewise for would-be customers. Those caught embezzling however, were usually peppered into swiss cheese by Selena. That, or given a near instantaneous death by Alice compared to her sister who'd rather let them bleed out. Their histories as thieves had also allowed them to create very effective countermeasures towards anyone who'd try to make away with their merchandise. The most brutal method would be tasers that respond to any hand that isn't Alice or Selena's magic fingerprint index.

After driving all of Genesis out of Kagerou, the sisters had set up a base of operations within the taiga forest that is near where Orihara has been founded. And it's to this date that their munitions company serves the Oriharans and their allies, along with the Kagerou-dan. Give or take a few years, and the munitions company has became the monopolist for almost anything that's a weapon in Kagerou, facing only competition from Lavi's Yukiriva Corporation, and Masquerade Labs. The companies have had run for such a long time
