Physical Appearance
Selenia is an exceptionally attractive 30 yr old human female in excellent physical condition for a young woman her age, height and build who engages in extensive regular exercise on a daily basis. She is very lithe and has strong muscles, since she works out a lot with her martial arts & archery.

She can be found naked a lot, and when she does have clothes on, they are normally skin-tight black ones that show off her body. She used to hide it from her daughter, but was told that its okay.

She has a birthmark on her back, and a knife wound on her right shoulder. She has a very curvy figure.

She is quite glad that she wasn't left with any signs of having been pregnant, such as weight or stretch marks.

Background: Selenia was born into the Armande family on the planet Corellia in the city of Tyrena. Her father, Halcyon, was a transport & capital-ship pilot for the Cordann Syndicate, a trading company started by Dage and Lorn Cordann. Her mother, Jenna, worked for the Syndicate as an administrator who helped route cargo. Her brother is Connor, who is only but a single year older.

Selly was always interested in the ships at the starport, and reguarly tagged along. When she was old enough, her dad began showing her the controls of ships & put her in simulator programs. She showed apptitude, and by the time she was eight, she could easily fly even capital-ships superbly. However, she was way too young, but the syndicate owners did make notes of how she could be a prospective pilot.

Because their family was fairly-well off yet her parents moved around a lot, Connor and Selly were home-schooled initially. When Selly was about ten, they were sent to a prestigious Corellian boarding school. That only lasted a couple of years, for neither of them really liked it and complained bitterly. Selly's skill with piloting was a deciding factor in this. They left and went back to home-schooling & on-the-job training with droids and Syndicate staff. Meanwhile, the Syndicate grew, and Sel's father flew both legitamate and black-market goods.

It was early on in this time when she met the Dage's children around the age of eight. She grew close to Caylee and tagged along with Cade, but was shunned by Corin. As time went by, she developed a childhood crush on Cade, which Caylee teased her about but she ignored.

As she hit eleven, people started taking notice of her. It became obvious to her around twelve that Cade was also starting to take notice of her, which pleased her. She began to setup incidents, and was proud when she managed to let him see her nude once, even though he didn't tell her.

A few months later, they had been left alone. She let him convince her to come to his bedroom, and they began playing a game of Sabacc. Although she could normally hold her own, she intentionally played not to win but not in an obvious fashion. As she was getting down to not much, she wondered if he would suggest anything. When he jokingly suggested that she could sell some of her clothes, she was very pleased inside. She smiled and removed her top, throwing it into the pile.

The game went on, and it wasn't long before she was down to just her underwear. She lost the next hand in an obvious manner, and removed her bra. When she lost the rest, she was pleased that he made a move, reaching out to put a hand on her hip. Things went further from there, and both of them had their first sexual experience.

For the next three years, Cade and Selly regularly found time to continue with their relationship, but it was nothing more for either of them then just lust and inquisitiveness.

She delighted in flirting with others and the wonderful experiences that came of it as a result. Cade didn't mind, and knew about what she did. Selly had blossommed quite well, but although she showed interest in men and went past first base, she didn't ended up in their beds. It was only with Cade that she was totally careless with. Connor wasn't very happy about his baby sister becoming a slut, and it led to lots of arguments. He never knew Cade was doing her too.

Shortly after, her parents were a bit sad when Connor joined the Corellian Security forces rather then transport piloting. When she turned fifteen, she was saddened when her parents left the Cordann Syndicate to create their own company, with the blessing of Verresta Cordann, who was running it for Cade until he was old enough.

Things went well for a short while before Selly knew that she was pregnant. She lied and explained it as someone else's. She gave birth to a daughter the next year, which she named Serraphyn, with the short form of Serra which most people call her.

Selly signed up as a transport pilot for her father's company when she was 18 and began doing runs, which pleased her father. Halcyon passed away recently as a happy man though, having also bridged the gap between himeself and Connor beforehand. Her mother retired shortly after, leaving the company in Selenia's hands. Selenia keeps in regular contact with her mother and brother when she can.

Selenia trained hard on her piloting skills, and has achieved Ace standing with starships. While she can competently fly capital-class vessels, she does not see any need for it. She has gained experience as a Blockade Runner recently, pushing goods through where they aren't supposed to go.

As Serra got older, she began helping Selenia more with running the business, and has helped greatly.

Recently however, she has gotten into debt with some nasty characters after attempting to expand the business into a few more lucrative avenues, and is now worried for the safety of herself & her daughter. She is currently stuck on Tel'Thranan due to a planetary blockade after offloading some smuggled cargo, and has no way to raise the remaining money. She did a check and found that it would be too dangerous to attempt to run this blockade.

Interests:
Selenia is interested in numerous things. She loves martial arts & archery, for which she trains every day. When Selly is mad at you, you most likely will know with a vicious kick between the legs or a lightning series of punches. Her favourite style is K'Tara, and has high standing in it.

She enjoys dancing and even can often be found doing exotic dancing in one of the Syndicate's many cantinas. She is an avid gambler, but isn't always on the winning side. She can also sing very well.

She absolutly loves flying, and improving her abilities with starships.

Psychological & Personality Profile:
Selenia is very egotistical, and is constantly trying to prove her superior she is to others. There is a twinge of narcissim in her personality.

Selenia constantly pushes the envelope of what she can make the ship do, even at the risk of being killed at a slight miscalculation. Operating with others is just one more opportunity to show off.  Cade has punished her in the past for reckless activities, but it hasn't helped.  He still keeps her flying, since she is one of his best pilots and gets the cargo through where others can't or don't.

She enjoys sex and is very flexible. Her fellow pilots knew she was a whore deep down. She is quite submissive in bed.

She has a warped sense of humor and has a very sunny outlook on life. She is very headstrong though, and not good at asking for help.

Selenia has a mild case of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and can't help keeping things neat & clean & logically grouped. She hates when her daughter spitefully takes advantage of it to punish her.

Selly has also become worried about how her daughter seems to have a very black streak through her. She hates that Serra can be cruel and remorseless, such as when Serra got the nickname of 'Black Widow'.  Selenia still suspects that a number of 'accidents' that happened to fellow smugglers were Serra's doing, but has no proof or idea what she would be able to do if she did.

Vehicle of Choice:
She has her own freighter, nicknamed Yteria, which she is doing up. It is an older Corellian Engineering Corp Barloz-class medium freighter. While it doesn't look much from the outside, she has modified from its original specifications.

It has improved hyperdrives and extra shielding. In addition, she has replaced the laser cannon and added improved turretted weaponry. This includes two quad-lasers, a light ion cannon, a tractor beam projector and two concealed concussion missile launchers. It was her daughter's suggestion to install an ordinary sensor mask to the ship and modified 20 tons of cargo space to be concealed so that they could improve some of the profits. This shocked Selly, but she did it anyway.

There is also a mainframe computer aboard for her company records, that is duplicated on Corellia. EMP charges are placed around the shipboard mainframe in case, and it is auto-synched via encrypted hypertransciever every five minutes.

Base Of Operations:

Form Of Dress:
When Selenia is by herself on a space transport, she doesn't bother with clothing that gets in the way. However, she dresses when her daughter is aboard.

Otherwise, she can be found in what is most appropriate. This can range from a space transport flight-suit, a slinky evening gown with plunging neckline or jeans & a t-shirt.When she knows she may have to fight, she brings her bow and quiver along.

Her clothing style is mainly Corellian, and she doesn't bother fitting in with the locals.

She keeps a remote handheld computer with her at all times to provide access to her ship. It uses military-grade encryption and has a built-in comlink.

Weapons of Choice:
Selly carries a Naboo Royal pistol at her hip. When she can, she prefers to use her modified composite bow. It is made of the most modern materials, and has a series of special pulleys to provide increased power & speed for the arrows. She keeps a number of armour-piercing and explosive-tipped arrows in a shoulder quiver. Some of the armour-piercing arrows also are designed to leak debilitating toxins & poisions into targets.

Her preferred style in martial arts is K'Tara, which allows her to use her knowledge of the art to disable, stun and debilitate opponents.

Superhuman Powers or Augmentations to Body:
Selly does not have has any sensitivity to the Force. The stories she had heard seemed designed to scare little children.

Abilities:
Selenia is a superb pilot with ace status. She has done by normal piloting and also combat piloting, thus won't lose her cool in a firefight. Her skills in pushing ships through hostile blockades is remarkable, and she has gained quite a reputation for it.

She enjoys larcenous skills, and has become very good at sleight-of-hand and lockpicking. She can move silently, hide in shadows and listen for sounds that others have trouble hearing. She also knows forgery, acrobatics, spotting, appraising, disguise, searching and escape artistry.

Her father made sure that she knows how to be streetwise yet also act correctly in high-society too.

From her time working, she knows about how the underworld and black-market works. She also learnt how to use demolitions while working for him too.

She has qualifications as a spacehand and ship mechanic. She can be often found in the docking bar, tinkering.

Selly has the 'gift of the glib', and is incredibly persuasive when she wants to. She seems to generate an aura of being trustworthy. These both allow her to bluff others quite well.

Special Notes: None.
