Selia started out as one of the tiny things living in Azura's walls — Kiana's pet, specifically — before getting caught up in a doomed scheme to steal one of Kiana's earrings. She survived Azura's 'games' three times over, which is the reason Lulu would do absolutely anything she asks. Underneath the deadpan sarcasm is real trauma she covers well, and a growing, unsettling taste for the kind of control she spent most of her life on the wrong end of.
What she found out about herself
Being handed real power over people bigger and more dangerous than she'll ever be again did something to Selia she didn't expect — she likes it more than she's willing to admit, and it scares her more than anything that's ever been done to her.
