Selkie

Kaden's daughter, carrying kitsune blood. Highly curious and fearless. Ready to take on any challenge. Appears in Fire Emblem Fates. Name: Selkie Gender: Female Race: Hybrid Kitsune Birthday: October 20 Relatives: Unnamed grandfather, Kaden (Father) Weapon: Beaststone </Personal Information> Selkie have 2 forms: Her human form and her beast form. In her human form, she appears to be a young teenage girl with short light blonde hair with a brown strand, yellow eyes, yellow kitsune ears on her head, pale skin and a light yellow kitsune tail. Her attire consists of a white shirt with a red jacket over it, a brown sash on her waist with a red ribbon over it, white fingerless gloves, red wrist guards, white socks and red sandals.

Her beast form is a giant fox with light yellow fur and red spikes on the back of her front legs and tail. Cheerful and innocent, Selkie grew up never facing the harsh reality of being a Kitsune. She is unerringly energetic and is on the constant prowl for playmates, incessantly bugging others to join in on her fun, sometimes at their own resistance. She literally hates standing still and is easily persuaded into things if it could lead to fun play, making her somewhat gullible to the inherent dangers of the world. It is only after Kaden set her straight does Selkie begin to express a minor degree of awareness.

Selkie loves to play no matter what form it takes and has no problem leaping into action without the slightest hesitation, making her the most fearless member of the army. Due to Kaden framing warfare as a game, Selkie gives it her all when fighting, making her a ferocious fighter. She often disregards cautionary advice of others and simply chooses to enjoy her activities to the fullest. That being said, Selkie is easily bored when someone tries to tone down her activities, even pouting and refusing to change course against reason.

Selkie can be best described as a girl who "leaps before she thinks", such as in the case of Forrest where she recklessly destroys a prized scrap of fabric with scissors before he could explain to her what he wanted to do with it. Despite Shigure's warning to not glide with a sailcloth on a particular day, Selkie does so anyways and inadvertently puts herself in danger due to a rogue gust. Selkie is perfectly capable of learning from her mistakes, but she learns in most situations after the matter has passed or once she actually experiences the consequences of her actions.

Like her father, Selkie feels the need to repay someone when she feels that she owes them a favor. This is shown in Forrest's support where she turns the mangled fabric into a soft pillow as an apology and as thanks for teaching her how to sew. She grew up in a Deeprealm without any Kitsune, so she is excited to visit her father's home at the Kitsune Hamlet once the war concludes, hoping to play with her fellow Kitsune. One of the only people Selkie is willing to calm herself around is her mother, even asking to learn how to apply makeup from her. However, with both of her parents, her recklessness and need to play shines through and both encourage her to enjoy life and play around while she is able to. Like the other children of Fates, Selkie was raised in the Deeprealms to protect her from the war.

In her Paralogue, Selkie is chasing birds when she goes through the gate of her Deeprealm and ends up in the normal world. She is then encountered by Daichi and surrounded by his group of bandits, hoping to capture her since she is a kitsune. Unfortunately, she does not fully understand the situation and thinks they are playing with her. Kaden, who was on his way to see her, catches wind that Selkie is in trouble and races off to rescue her from the bandits. After "playing" with the bandits, Selkie reunites with Kaden who tells her about her situation. Selkie apologizes, but Kaden convinces her to play a new game, "Hunt the Humans". After taking down the poachers, Selkie still does not get that the poachers were trying to capture and kill her, but Kaden is nevertheless relieved to see her safe. Enjoying the "game" she played, she asks Kaden if she can join the army so she can continue to play. Kaden tells her that war is not as fun as she thinks and Selkie apologizes for getting carried away. However, since the army saved her, she wants to return the favor by fighting with the army, a sentiment that Kaden is proud of. By using her Beaststone, Selkie can transform into a beast fox form for combat.
