Selvaria was born in a small village in Eastern Europa, the kind of place one hears about in folk songs. Her mother was a loving woman who enjoyed cooking and her father was a strong, dependable man. Selvaria enjoyed a peaceful and happy childhood surrounded by her family until the outbreak of the first Europan war. The Imperial Army invaded her small village, causing Selvaria's Valkyria Power to reveal itself during the carnage. The Imperial troops immediately knew Selvaria for what she really was and took her away from her parents to quarantine her in the Imperial research facility dedicated to studying the legends of the Valkyria.

Trapped in the research facility, Selvaria suffered torturous experiments every day as Imperial scientists attempted to develop a way to turn Valkyrur into weapons. Not a single person at the research facility treated Selvaria as a human being, and she led a miserable life as nothing more than a test subject. One day, a young man arrived at the research facility and spoke the first kind words Selvaria had heard in years. That young man was none other than Prince Maximilian. Removing Selvaria from the research facility, Maximilian invited her to stay at his royal estate. He took Selvaria as his personal aide and gave her a luxurious life complete with the highest education available in the entire empire. Selvaria quickly developed romantic feelings for Maximilian and worshipped the man who saved her from the hell of the research facility. She swore her everlasting loyalty to the prince. One of her fellow test subjects was Crymaria Levin. While the latter had more raw power, Selvaria proved more stable.

Desperate to please Maximilian, Selvaria led his battalion to many victories as their commander, and her name soon became known to the highest echelons of the Imperial army. During this time, Maximilian revealed the true nature of her Valkyria power to Selvaria, telling her that it could easily allow her to conquer the world but that using the power would eventually drain her of her life force. Though they both knew that Maximilian could take over the empire with Selvaria at his side, he warned Selvaria not to use her powers, stating that he was concerned for her well-being. He also pointed out that if too many people came to know that she was a descendant of the Valkyrur, other individuals may come after her in order to exploit her powers. They agreed to keep the secret of her heritage between the two of them.

Eventually, the second Europan war began, and Maximilian prepared to invade Gallia. Hoping to be of some use to Maximilian, Selvaria stepped up to the frontlines as one of his Triumviri.

Maximilian, who saved her from her life in the research facility, was like a god to Selvaria, and she was determined to use her powers to their full potential in his service. She had been told that a Valkyrur powers first emerge when the Valkyria's life is in danger, and they come into contact with their lance and shield. Without hesitation, Selvaria plunged a dagger into her own chest, and by grabbing hold of her lance and shield, she was able to awaken the ancient legacy within her. As a Valkyria, Selvaria swore to live only for Maximilian.

Despite the fact that her Valkyrur heritage was the cause of her earlier suffering, Selvaria willingly awakened her powers for the sake of Maximilian. She accepted her role as his weapon and swore to do whatever she could to bring glory to his name. The knowledge that she was the only Valkyria, and that she was the one best suited to grant Maximilian's every desire gave Selvaria confidence and emotional support, but that internal pillar was shattered by the appearance of a second Valkyria, Alicia.

Selvaria had risked her life to gain her Valkyrur power, yet was easily defeated by Alicia, who had awakened as a Valkyria in the midst of war. To make matters worse, Selvaria then received orders from Maximilian to self-destruct in order to serve his purposes, and it was only then that Selvaria realized her worth had been measured by the Valkyrur Power she had possessed. In her last battle at Ghirlandaio, desperate to prove her worth as a human being, Selvaria sealed away her Valkyrur Power and challenged the members of Squad 7 as an equal.

Having suffered another loss, Selvaria knew that there was only one way for her to be of use to Maximilian, and that was to use her Final Flame. Maximilian had been the one who gave her the desire to be loved as a woman, but he had also been the one who shattered that dream. He was everything to her. Though her desire for Maximilian's success was genuine, her heart was filled with complex emotions in her final moments.

Selvaria is known to have been on speaking terms with Klaus Walz while the two were both Majors, and to have met the Ausbruch commander again in 1933 EC, when Walz was touring the partially-completed Siegval Line. She rebuffed Walz's attempts to woo her and rejected his offer of dinner to celebrate her promotion to Lieutenant Colonel.

She was actually present at Siegval to evaluate Crymaria's performance: Crymaria soon took offence to her words, having always resented that Selvaria was the one "chosen," and the evaluation became a pitched battle between the two Valkyria. Following this, Selvaria delivered her report on Crymaria to Heinrich Belgar, recommending that she was ready for combat. In private, she tried to console the unstable Valkyria, telling her that someday she would find someone who loved her, as Selvaria believed she had with Maximilian. Crymaria dismissed this as fairytale nonsense, but privately wondered if perhaps it could be true.

By the time of the invasion of Gallia, Selvaria's meteoric rise through the ranks had made her one of Maximilian's three most trusted generals, Drei Stern. She led the Imperial Infantry formations during the invasion and occupation of Gallia and was a direct subordinate of Prince Maximilian. Selvaria is first encountered inside the ruins in the Barious Desert, escorting Maximilian into the unexplored depths of the hidden sanctuary. She later comes into direct conflict with Squad 7 as a Valkyria when she leads the Imperial forces to rescue the prince following the Batomys' demise, during the Battle of Barious Desert.

Selvaria later leads the Imperial forces at Naggiar once again as a Valkyria but is defeated by an awakened Valkyria Alicia, retreating with the remaining Imperials back to the Citadel of Ghirlandaio where she is finally defeated during a desperate last stand. Captured and with the Imperial forces in full retreat, Selvaria is brought before Georg von Damon, the supreme commander of the Gallian forces, who has taken up residence within the Citadel. In a final act of mercy, she requests that the militia escort the captured Imperial troops back to the capital where they are to be held as prisoners of war.

Von Damon agrees and unwittingly saves Squad 7 from certain destruction. While being held within Ghirlandaio, Selvaria decides to reveal to Damon her true power, to destroy Ghirlandaio using the Valkyria's Final Flame, considered to be the ultimate weapon in the Valkyrur's arsenal. Selvaria sheds a tear as she unleashes fiery destruction upon the Citadel, annihilating the structure, its surrounding areas, the Gallian soldiers stationed within and ultimately vaporizing Von Damon himself with her blue flames.

In Selvaria's Mission: Behind Her Blue Flame downloadable content, Selvaria commands the original assault on the Ghirlandaio Citadel at the behest of the supreme commander of Imperial forces, Maximilian against the Gallian Army garrison led by General Georg von Damon.

She is assisted by an Engineer, Johann Oswald Eisen who is assigned to the force to assist Selvaria after the loss of her squadron's previous engineer in unspecified circumstances.

In spite of artillery bombardments and poisonous gas attacks ordered by Georg von Damon, Selvaria and her squad push the Gallian forces from their defensive positions inside the citadel in a well coordinated assault and wiping out Gallia's military presence in the area, allowing Imperial reinforcements to pour unhindered into the country and beginning the war against Gallia.

She doesn't carry Ragnaid canisters as their blue phosphorescent glow brings back unpleasant memories of her childhood spent in an imperial research facility and the ragnite she was exposed to there.

• Abilities and Standard Weapons -

Selvaria since awakening her Valkyrian Powers has gained the ability to call upon the Cobalt Flames of the Valkyria, which is a potent type of ionic energy that Ragnite is valuable for. Selvaria is not yet fully aware of the true nature and capabilities of her Valkyria Heritage and the Ionic Energy, but knows and is capable of enough to be like a goddess on the battlefield compared to even the armies of Europa, hence her earned title of "The Azure Witch" from both friend and foe alike. She accepts this title, but secretly resents the fear it inspires in others of her.

In most combat situations she uses a Spiral Lance and Shield of Ragnite construction, it is a relic from the Valkyrur and it's workings are poorly understood, even by Selvaria, though she can use them reliably.

She can channel her powers through the spiral lance or shield for attack and defense, firing energy bolts or beams depending on the target, she can use these powers without the weapons but they are less precise and have shorter effective range, her Rapier can be used for focusing but only for low power attacks, as otherwise it will quickly heat up and if pushed too far, will melt from the overuse of her powers channeling through it, as such she prefers to use her powers either with the Valkyrian weapons or if deprived of them, her own body, which unlike other objects, is not apparently harmed by her own cobalt flames unless their intensity becomes immensely powerful, far stronger than what she needs to defeat most enemies.

Other than her Spiral Lance and Shield, she carries a custom made Rapier that was commissioned for her by Maximillian and gifted to her as a present to celebrate her promotion to Brigadier General.

She is experienced with every weapon in the Imperial Infantry's Arsenal and is a brilliant tactician skilled with armored warfare tactics and combined arms doctrine. She rarely uses firearms, not due to any pride or reluctance, but because when using her Valkyria powers, with a blade or her Valkyrian Weapons and powers, most firearms are more of a handicap for her than an advantage, though this is in part an overestimation of her brute force abilities with her powers and a more open mind would benefit her tactical opportunities that her powers alone would not provide unless fully realized.

Heavier-Than-Air Flight such as Bi-Planes, Monoplanes, etc, had not been put into practical development and are largely experimental, however access to Ragnite has rendered Fossil Fuels obsolete outside of niche civilian applications, with Ragnite being abundant enough that fossil fuel alternatives are seen as a "Primitive" alternative, with Ragnite based medicine and technology allowing technologies and medical advances that in the field of first aid and engineering to be superior to what Earth in the 1940s were capable of.

The name of her world is also called Earth, but it is not the same Earth that the "Real World" is, continental configurations are different though similar, some names are also similar, Europa being a Continent for example, having similar cultural and political dynamics to 1930s Europe.
