The perks of having Sel being adopted into found family dynamics is that they can dramatically embarrass her with their antics. @vierandancer @aethericsea

👫 (It's been a while, but Kijin or Tataru?)

@sunaerie | Tataru & X'kijin Send a 👫and I’ll write four headcanons I have about our muse’s relationship

Tataru

During the beginning of Stormblood, after Selena recovered and wasn't busy setting up the code involving her Star's letters, she helped Tataru with whatever needed to be done at the Rising Stones.

Despite her aloofness, Sel enjoys listening to gossip than contributing to it. Give her the tea, Tataru.

While Selena already knew how to mend small tears, Tataru got her started on the art of weaving. Sometimes Sel adds itty-bitty embroideries of flowers and celestial objects when mending the tears.

Selena is banned from anything related to numbers. She really did try Tataru, but she learned her math from her Moogle merchant friend, who would be extremely disappointed. Thankfully, Tataru caught the error before lasting damage was done to the records and coffers.

X'kijin

After their first meeting, Selena kept her distance, always a few fulms of space, when speaking and purposely tried to make her normally quiet footsteps a bit louder to try not to accidentally spook X'kijin.

X'kijin figured out her ceruluem allergy before she did, but only after her allergy began to act up while she was near the ceruluem barrels, while Alisaie, G'raha, and the Garlond Ironworks were setting up their temporary workshop to decipher the node. Selena was immediately kicked out of the room before her lightning magic was accidentally conjured or her allergy grew worse. [She had previously offered to use her ice magic to keep the room cold. Poor girl just wanted to help.]

They had a culinary debate about tomatoes. Sel was adamant that tomatoes were berries. He disagreed.

Even though the misconception of her being an Ala Mhigan was cleared up, Selena still found herself wishing to connect despite her better judgment and the true reality. Despite the pain the misconception caused, it felt like it gave her a place to belong. Sometimes she asks X'kijin about Gyr Abanian recipes or something related once she picks up crafting.

@diademreigned | Koana Cont. From Here Warning: Dawntrail Spoilers

After finishing escorting and reuniting a Mamool Ja child to their surviving parent, Selena found her way up the Resplendent Quarter to offer aid for the civilians there. As she circled around, word of the previous Dawnservant's death reached her ears.

Feeling the shock settle into her bones, she stopped what she was doing and shut her eyes, inhaling and exhaling. The keybearer recalled the Mamool Ja's mother laying lifeless in the Bayside Bevy markets. Her mind then plays a much earlier memory, her own mother in the snow, vacant eyes staring up at the furious skies while her own blood slowly turned the surrounding ice a deep scarlet. She frowns as her brows furrow with worry.

After she reopened her eyes, Selena ran up the stairs to reach the palace, only to slip on a step, but regained her bearings with a grimace.

Selena sprinted to the palace. The Landsguard were preoccupied and spread thin. Despite this, she wasn't fully certain if they would allow her inside Sunperch when they were so vulnerable. But to her surprise, the lone guard at the door to the Sunperch allowed her in with a single nod.

She took a few moments to catch her breath and let her racing heart settle before pushing the heavy door open. The keybearer caught sight of the Reason of Reason staring down at a certain area of the floor where she could only presume was where the previous Dawnservant, his father, passed.

Koana... Not wishing to startle him, Selena took a steady pace in her approach and stopped when she is a single step behind him as he addressed her. A part of her is relieved that he is hale and whole but...

Something is wrong. It's too quiet. Why is he alone?

The metallic cylinder that the Mamool Ja child entrusted to her weighed heavily inside the pouch. It can wait... Selena decided at that moment and silently lifts her hand to place on his shoulder, It can wait.

As the Vow of Reason spoke, the keybearer remained silent and her grip firms up. He responded in kind and looked back at her with a smile. Koana would have seen the worry knitted into her brow and her lips pressed into a firm line.

"Aye...They're rightfully hurt, confused, and in shock over what just happened," Selena answered quietly, playing the memory of the invasion in her mind. The mechanical soldiers that she and the Landsguard fought appeared nothing like the magitek or any technology she'd seen previously.

He's trying to be strong at his own expense... She realizes, using the moment to take the step and stand beside him. Her eyes soften, watching with concern and blinking in surprise as he asked to walk and being glad of her company.

"Koana, wait."

Before the keybearer realizes what she is doing, Selena pulls him in by the shoulder into an embrace with one arm across his shoulder and the other hand gently cradling the back of his head.

For a brief moment, Selena internally wished that someone found and hugged her like this when she first woke up on the strange new world as the scared young girl who had unknowingly lost the world she knew all those years ago.

"Koana, please know that you don't have to carry the weight alone," Selena starts softly, closing her blurry eyes, "You have Wuk Lamat, your people, and your comrades to help you bear it should you let them."

"We're here to support you," the keybearer quietly reiterates then reopened her eyes. After waiting a full minute, she breaks the hug to pull herself away at arm's reach. With a shaky breath, Selena anxiously scratches her right arm and then rubs her eyes.

"I'm sorry for overstepping...I...I thought you should know that you're not alone."

Vermillion's Pledge Photoshop Do Not Reblog or Repost unless you’re Artie [ @diademreigned ]

A keyblade resulting from the sisterly bond between two right, brilliant fools, the secretive Keybearer and the compassionate Red Mage, who think the world of each other. [ @diademreigned ]

Gives Selena a high boost in magic and spell speed. It also gives her access to certain white spells such as Vercure and Veraise where she wouldn't otherwise.

Grants Selena the Vermillion Scourge level 3 limit break only when she has this keyblade equipped whilst activating LB3.

The design is based on Alisaie's Stormblood rapier. I really tried to get the crystal texture but couldn't get quite it right.

@agloryofuniicorns sent get behind me. // from g'raha Dramatic and Protective Prompts

"Shouldn't I be the one saying that...?" Selena mumbles, hearing the red-haired Miqote rush in. Watching the shadows pull themselves from the ground, the young adventurer tightens her grip on the hilt of the Heartsickness keyblade, transforming the weapon into a scythe and quickly follows him.

Leaving a Hellsgate behind her, she uses Hell's Ingress to dash ahead and slice through the shadows. Their glowing hearts rise up and disappear into the skies. Trying to locate their next spawning or suspicious movement, she turns her head and fixes her battle stance.
