Bound and chained, the pale female explained she sought a way to cleanse her void-corrupted red mage gem.Without hesitation Selena vowed to aid in this endeavor and reached for the gem. This became her last conscious thought for over a week.
Pain and Emptiness
Throughout her life Selena had rarely given relationships much weight. Bar one time, a time which she gave herself heart body and soul to a young Midlander woman (Who shall remain nameless here.)When Selena found out she was nothing more than a convenience to her lover it shattered her, she has since drifted from place to place selling her sword and body trying to drown her heart in blood and debauchery. In more recent times, she has been trying to make more of herself again, claiming a lovely viera she fed on as her own.

Embracing Death
Following her encounter with the Viera, Selena's nights were one nightmare after another. Blood and death dominated her senses, filled her mouth, and ran between her fingers only to vanish when she awoke.Eventually even the waking world could not provide refuge, the veins of each person she passed calling out to the young knight.One can only resist temptation for so long however, Selena's time came when she was wounded in a Garlean incursion. When she broke out of the blood red haze she tasted the blood in her mouth and knew she couldn't pretend anymore. She began feeding on those she became intimate with, never the same twice and never when they were awake.In time she like the viera before sought a cure which brought her to the attention of the Lemures, but that is an entirely different story...
