Selina is a former witch, originally a fairy, who attended Cloud Tower. She was the Keeper of the Legendarium and the main villain of Season 6 along with the Trix and Acheron, whom she was working under much to the Trix's dismay. She is a childhood friend of Bloom.

At the end of the season, she renounces dark magic and reverts to a fairy.

Overview[]

Selina was a new student at Cloud Tower in Season 6. She is from Earth and has the ability to bring legendary creatures to life, by using the Legendarium. She was previously, and once again has become, the apprentice of Eldora. She was also Bloom’s good childhood friend back on Earth.

Appearance[]

Selina has waist-length thick dirty greenish/olive blonde hair, fair skin, light brown eyes and purple lips.

Civilian[]

Her favorite color may be navy blue, as she wears a navy blue crop top with wavy black ends and a mesh collar with a pink circle. She also wears a navy blue jacket with a high collar and sleeves that end with spiked gray areas. Her stomach is covered with mesh, and she has navy blue gloves with light teal buttons on her hands. Selina also wears a navy blue skirt with a chain-belt, which she usually uses to hang the shrunk Legendarium and navy blue thigh-high heeled boots with gray tights and multiple light teal buttons on the side.

Younger Years[]

In Bloom's flashback, she used to have shoulder-length hair and her clothing is shown to be a pink short sleeve shirt with a blue skirt and pink socks and blue shoes. As a preteen her clothing is shown to be a less dark as she is shown wearing a dark teal cardigan with a gray top, short sea-green ruffled skirt, dark teal belt, silver bracelets, gray tights and dark teal boots.

Personality[]

Selina is an intelligent and confident girl who is not afraid of standing up to use her powers and of the Legendarium to others. She showed great respect and admiration towards the Trix and was willing to help them to take over the Magic Dimension's colleges in exchange for them to teach her the dark arts. But when the Trix refuses to share the power with her, she is shown to be a traitor, preparing schemes for her bigger goals. She is very loyal towards Acheron. She is shown to be very proud and protective towards the Legendarium, willing to defend it at all costs if needed. However, in the flashback in "Attack of the Sphinx", it is shown that she was timid and shy as she was unable to talk to a boy she appeared to have a crush on until Bloom made her.

Selina showed to have a great passion and thirst for power and knowledge since she wanted to be very powerful, which is why she left Eldora since she never taught her how to do powerful magic. And for that same reason why she served Acheron since she promised to give him power if she freed him.

After being redeemed and locking the Legendarium for good, she is shown to be kind, repentant, caring, friendly, loyal, brave and compassionate who is also a lot more gentle, patient, and calm than she was before.

Magical Abilities[]

Selina constricting Bloom using her snakes to acquire her Dragon Flame.

As a fairy, the basis of her powers was never revealed. However, as a witch Acheron clearly states and dubs her the Witch of Snakes.

As such, she can generate ethereal snakes and control them to her whims. Her snakes are transparent green in color. Her ethereal snakes were powerful enough to destroy the Dragon Skeleton where the Trix held the magic schools' powers. She is shown to be the only one (besides Eldora) who can bring legendary creatures to life. The Trix using her rather than stealing the Legendarium from her is the proof. She will speak an incantation that is specific to the legend she wants to bring to life. The Legendarium glows a light purple and a bright blue color will emit from inside the book, bringing the legend to life. When Acheron was released the book emitted a deep red color.

She is shown to be powerful enough to trap and hurt Bloom for a short period of time, and even then Bloom had to use a lot of power to simply throw her across a room without inflicting any other visible injuries.

When Selina manifests her magical energy, they range in several colors: gold-orange, light blue, purple, green and dusty green. They can also be purely lightning strikes (similar to Stormy) though this is often attributed to when she enlarges the Legendarium. Most of the time, her energy beams are magenta-black with bubble and lightning appearance.
