Chapter 14 - Selene Virelle — The Sentinel

Selene Virelle — The Sentinel

• Age: 24 (turning 25)

• Birthday: May 14

• Zodiac: Taurus sun, Capricorn rising — earthbound, but storm-forged

• Lineage: Unknown father. Mortal mother — military strategist turned recluse. Selene's bloodline is a mystery even to her, though some say it runs colder than human.

• Occupation: Private security officer. Former elite military. Tactical mind behind survival. Aira's shadow, protector, obsession.

• Role: The blade behind the veil. A quiet constant in a world that trembles.

Appearance

Selene walks like a warning — silent, exacting, and beautiful in a way that threatens.

• Build: Tall, athletic. A soldier's body sculpted by repetition and resolve.

• Hair: Silver-blonde, cropped short with precision — disobedience never touches her edges.

• Eyes: Forest-green, cold and assessing. They soften only for one.

• Skin: Pale as moonlight on metal — untouched by sun, marked only by battle.

• Aura: Glacial. Composed. The stillness before something violent.

• Beauty: Blade-sharp. Mouth unreadable — until she smiles, and it devastates.

Style & Symbolism

Selene doesn't dress — she arms herself.

• Attire: Dark tactical silhouettes — tailored pants, high - collared coats, gloves, boots. Always armed.

• Signature: Aira's silk ribbon, wrapped beneath her glove like a sacred promise no one else sees.

• Off - Duty: Black tank tops revealing bruises like coded language — meant only for Aira's eyes.

• Aesthetic: Discipline draped in shadow. A fortress in the shape of a woman.

Personality

Selene is stillness and strategy. A quiet protector. A war waiting to ignite — for one girl only.

• Core Traits: Stoic, methodical, unfaltering. Loyal beyond logic.

• Vibe: The soldier who never left the battlefield. The protector who'd rather burn than break.

• Role: The knife beneath the pillow. The last line between chaos and the one she protects.

• Inner Truth: She doesn't know how to be loved gently. But she knows how to protect what she cannot lose.

Hobbies & Habits

She doesn't rest — she recalibrates.

• Combat: Knife balancing, precision drills, sparring without sound.

• Mind: Tactical strategy, war theory, espionage novels.

• Private Rituals: Plays classical piano late at night — songs written for no one but Aira.

• Devotion: Watches over Aira like myth — tracks her breath, guards her door, carries her name like a weapon.

Likes & Dislikes

• Likes: Silence with purpose. Rare steak. The feel of Aira's heartbeat under her palm. Loyalty without performance.

• Dislikes: Empty sentiment. Clutter. Being emotionally exposed. Hands that reach before they're invited.

Love

How Selene Loves Aira:

She doesn't speak it. She becomes it. Her love is protection shaped like obsession.

• She learns Aira's every breath, her silences, her fears.

• She waits in doorways, follows from shadows, kills in dreams.

• If Aira ever said "leave me," Selene wouldn't move. She'd burn there.

• Her Vow: Be the monster Aira never has to see.

"Selene doesn't confess. She becomes the consequence of loving her."

How Aira Loves Selene:

To Aira, Selene is danger shaped into calm. A storm held in a soldier's skin.

• She calls her "my anchor made of fire."

• In Selene's silence, she feels safe. In her stare, she feels seen.

• Aira leans into her like one leans into gravity — terrified, trusting.

• Selene is the softest place in her world, even if she has no softness left.

"She both fears and needs the way Selene looks at her — like she's breakable, like she's holy."

Apocalypse Role: Classified.

Selene knows more than she lets on. She uses her powers in secret. Aira doesn't know — yet.

Final Note:

Selene Virelle is loyalty sharpened into weaponry.

To the world, she is untouchable.

To Aira, she is the softest place in hell.
