Selene
The Last Sisterhood
"The world mistakes kindness for weakness and cruelty for strength. I have lived long enough to know they're both lies."
Selene has walked the shadows for centuries, witnessing kingdoms rise, faiths crumble, and ancient powers disappear beneath the weight of history. Elegant, fiercely intelligent, and armed with a wit as sharp as any blade, she possesses a presence that can disarm an enemy long before steel is ever drawn.
Though her words are often laced with sarcasm, those closest to her understand the truth hidden beneath them. Selene protects those she calls family with unwavering devotion, refusing to abandon them no matter the cost. Whether guiding Alida through the mysteries of the Bloody Kiss, standing beside Alasdair when darkness threatens to consume him, or challenging Thorne whenever his burden grows too heavy, she remains the steady force that binds them together.
Long before the events of The Bloody Kiss, Selene shared a complicated history with Thorne Vael. Their bond was forged through trust, tested by impossible choices, and fractured by tragedy. Time has never erased what existed between them, and beneath every sharp exchange lies a connection neither has truly left behind.
Selene is also the last known leader of the Sisterhood of the Bloody Kiss, an ancient order dedicated to preserving sacred rites, forbidden traditions, and a prophecy older than kingdoms themselves. While others see only blood and darkness, she understands that true power has always been rooted in choice, memory, and devotion.
Confident, fearless, and endlessly resourceful, Selene embraces danger with a smile that often unsettles friend and foe alike. Yet beneath that confidence is a woman who has endured profound loss without allowing it to harden her heart.
She knows that love is never without sacrifice. She simply chooses to love anyway.
"Hope isn't found in the absence of darkness. It's found in those willing to walk through it together."
