Selena

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Selena is a descendant of a fallen wizard family whose former glory had long since faded. Early accounts identified her family as the Veerlin family, which retained a decayed wizard estate and ancient books on magical plants; later events identify her as a member of the Krog Family and the younger sister of Bernal Krog. Her parents placed their hopes of restoring the family on her, leaving her under immense pressure from childhood. 20 76

While studying at Ainak Wizard Academy, Selena was bullied because of her family’s decline and her introverted nature. Unable to fight back, she withdrew to the forest and isolated herself from others. Bernal later revealed that he had sent her to Ainak Wizard Academy to help her escape the Krog Family’s calamity. 20 76

She joined the Forest Patrol as a First-Level Wizard Apprentice. No other squad wanted her, so Dago accepted her into his own unit. He encouraged her to be more confident and learned of her familiarity with Moonlight Flowers. 20 21

Dago offered Selena Mental Potions in exchange for cultivating Moonlight Flowers. The first potion enabled her to advance to the Second Level; she later mastered the flower’s cultivation method and planned to partner with Dago in producing Mental Potions. 21 22 30 31

After Mariko’s death, Selena was devastated, but remained with Dago through their escape, academy interrogation, and the continuing assault on Aina Town. Dago ultimately bought her an airship ticket and sent her away so she could survive and become more independent. 37 39 40 45

Following their separation, Selena reunited with Dago in Kletam City under Bernal’s protection. She continued cultivating and training to close the widening gap between herself and Dago, eventually becoming a Formal Wizard with the aid of large quantities of Silvered Mental Potions. 78 82 117

Selena later trained in a hidden Krog Family refuge and entered a Mirror Forest secret realm to practice newly learned wood-element spells. Her attempt activated a dangerous garden trial, leaving her exhausted and trapped until Dago rescued her. 89 109 112

Appearance

Selena is a slender young woman originally described as about 160 centimeters tall, with pale skin, freckles, light-green eyes, and long light-gray hair usually tied into a loose low ponytail. 20

• Habitually hunched and lowered her head to avoid attention during her time at Ainak Wizard Academy. 20
• Her hair had naturally curled tips and loose strands framing her cheeks. 20
• Her oversized gray apprentice robe was inherited from her family; its faded vine embroidery represented her fallen family’s former glory. 20
• She later received a rune robe from Dago before leaving Aina Town. 45
• By her reunion with Dago in Kletam City, she had grown noticeably and wore a printed long dress rather than her old apprentice robe. 78
• She is later described as having brilliant pure-gold hair, associated with her identity as the Princess of the Life Court. 496

Personality

Selena begins as deeply timid, anxious, and lacking in self-confidence. She stammers when nervous, blushes easily, and initially treats Dago with excessive deference. Her academy bullying and family burdens left her accustomed to making herself unobtrusive. 20 21

Magical plants bring out a more assured side of her. When discussing Moonlight Flower cultivation, she speaks with knowledge and confidence, and she eagerly gathers soil and studies the requirements for growing the plant. 22 30 31

Despite her fear and inexperience, Selena is loyal and courageous in combat. She stays with Dago and Mariko when other patrol members leave, supports the team after her first killing, and repeatedly risks herself to interrupt or restrain stronger enemies. 24 25 27

Selena becomes more determined after reuniting with Dago and learning how far his strength has progressed beyond hers. She trains under Bernal’s harsh supervision, takes low-level missions to support her cultivation, and enters dangerous secret realms in an effort to become strong enough to catch up. 78 85 99 109 139

Her devotion to her family remains a defining trait. During the Thorns of Pain’s attack on Krog Castle, she tried to offer herself to save Bernal despite knowing that she was only an Apprentice Wizard and could not endure the Pain Dagger’s soul damage. 86
