//I made a similar post on my boy, but I wanted to make a brief update post about Selene here! I haven’t abandoned my daughter at all and am planning on coming back to writing for her hopefully soon! I’ve had some new headcanons/thoughts and some inspiration hit me after another Alola playthrough and gosh do I miss Alola. Thank you all for your patience and do stay safe!

[moonkxssed]

//Tfw you’ve been writing the same muse for over three years only to have your mind blown that her name may not actually be pronounced how you’ve been saying it!! Seh-lene (the one I’ve been using) and Seh-lee-nee are technically correct, though given the inspiration for her name is from the greek moon goddess, that points towards the latter....hmmm what to do.

Dating Pros and Cons

Pros:

Super affectionate!! Loves to shower you in kisses especially and hold hands and snuggle and just everything 

Smol gf(tm). No really, she’s barely five feet, she’s perfect to pick up and cuddle just don’t dare call her cute or prepare to face pouty cheek wrath 

Expect adventure in everything, because even the smallest thing can be exciting to Selene! Lots of fun dates and traveling to places that most people don’t know about especially--the perks of being an explorer!!

The best selfies. She’s great with a camera and she’ll always be happy to post pics with her special someone

Home-cooked meals!! You’ll never go hungry with her 

Very playful!! She loves to laugh and smile and tease 

Fame. Although a bit of a double edged sword, that comes with dating a Champion. 

She’ll serenade you!! 

Super loyal 

Big starry-eyed romantic, every moment is special 

Cons:

Skillfully hides emotions behind smiles because she doesn’t want to burden anyone 

Kind of sort of affected with alien energy that makes her eyes glow among other symptoms. 

Also a magnet(tm) for Ultra Beasts 

A vampire. Forget waking her up earlier than noon and also forget trying to go out during the brightest parts of the day. Photophobia complicates things. 

Jealous type

Constantly in the spotlight as a Champion. 

Won’t hesitate to make reckless a decision when it comes to protecting others which in turn means neglecting herself 

Also has a bad habit of not being able to say no to favors 

Super emotional.

Will steal your clothes. they are now hers. 

Needs physical affection or gets :c and huffy 

Stubborn when she’s set on something. 

Not a homebody

@moonkxssed​ 𝓈𝓊𝒷𝓂𝒾𝓉𝓉𝑒𝒹 :

Oh, it was so fun having a friend who shared the same birthday with her; maybe it’s because deep down she’s always longed for one, but it was almost like having a sibling! A sister from the universe.

And so Selene skipped (rather, did as close to a skip as she could given the weighty contents snugly within her arms) and hummed the birthday song until she found the birthday girl herself. She beamed, giggling in a mixture of nerves and excitement–her gift was a bit…big, and maybe she should’ve mentioned it before coming all the way, but no turning back now, right?

“Li~siaaaaa~! Happy birthday~!” Musical as can be, as she offers out a large, ocean colored bag. “I probably should’ve asked if you had the time, but…oh, I couldn’t help myself! My Primarina had her first eggs with another Primarina recently and I couldn’t help thinking of you!” Within the bag was an azure egg, a cyan stripe nearing its bottom that foreshadowed the future Popplio it would become.

“I thought a Popplio could be your own piece of Alola to carry with you. And I thought it’d be cute if you could both be twinsies too.” The other contents of the bag were two headbands–one a perfect size for Lisia’s head and another made for a Pokemon for sure. Pearl strings attached to one another and punctuated at the ends by a pink star–a petite blue veil at the top of each as well. All home made. There may or may not have been a few attempts prior because they weren’t just right yet.

“I hope this is okay!” 

A chirpy tune sounded from her as a whistle, but it was soon too hard to maintain as her lips involuntarily shaped into a grin at hearing another upbeat song nearby. She turned lightly on her feet like a soft breeze, eyes lighting up with joy.

Selene’s arrival and greeting grew Lisia’s grin into one impossibly brighter. How great it was to see her friend! Her birthday twin! The day was made all the more special due to the fact they shared it in such a way.

“Selene! Happy Birthday to you too!”

With her good mood bubbling through her, it brought the urge to hug the other birthday girl, affection peaking. But oh, that would be a little tricky with the bag involved.

What’s this?

Lisia accepted the bag with care, curiosity rising like the early morning sun and glittering in her eyes.

“Ariel had eggs? Oh, wow, that’s so exciting!”

Oh, she could hardly imagine the pure delight and excitement Selene and her pokemon must be feeling. Helping her own pokemon with eggs or simply raising an egg herself had been a hidden thought blooming in the back of her mind. The excuses and pressure of her lifestyle had helped block it out, but now it seemed it was out of her hands ( or technically in her hands now ).

“A popplio egg? F-for me?”

A part of Alola to take with her…oh, the idea warmed her chest and lit a sparkle of excitement within her. Popplio and its evolutions had captured her heart from the moment she’d seen them, and Alola had quickly become dear to her too. And now both would be with her, always.

She must not cry, she must not cry!

Taking a breath to steady her emotions, Lisia peered into the bag and carefully shifted her hold, soon discovering the beautiful headbands. She gasped, eyes jumping to Selene’s.

“Did you make these? They’re gorgeous! Wow, I can’t…wow, thank you so much!”

Happiness and affection built in her until the pressure had to be released. She set the bag down safely and stepped closer, throwing her arms around Selene as tight as she could.

“They’re absolutely amazing! You’re absolutely amazing. I’m gonna take such good care of this egg, I promise!”

Cruel reality whispered in her mind and questioned her ability to do so, but she ignored it for the moment, blocking it out with pure excitement.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you!” she said, before pulling back and immediately trying on the headband made for her. “How’s it look?”

Gloria can’t help the soft laugh that escapes her at the Alolan Champion’s excitability. It’s warm, and entirely welcoming in a way not even Gloria expected.

(She had heard such wonderful things about Selene, but to be greeted like this in person was heartwarming.)

With a small nod, and an even shier smile, she meets her blue eyes.

“Alola,” it’s foreign in her mouth, but the attempt is there all the same. “It’s nice to meet you too! I heard it was your birthday and wanted to give you some cupcakes!” she pauses, “if it’s okay with you that is!”

MAYBE IT WAS SILLY, BUT ANOTHER NEWLY CROWNED CHAMPION WHO WAS A GIRL HER AGE had Selene feeling both proud and excited; oh, now there was someone else she could maybe relate to a little more. Four years have passed so quickly, but she’ll still never forget how...overwhelmed she felt becoming Champion--how she had no guidance to help her through it all. So if she could be a guiding light or friendly face to a fellow new Champion? She was certainly going to try her best. 

Her features can’t help but soften at the other brunette--aww, was she shy? 

“Of course it’s okay! I’d love some cupcakes! There’s nothing that tastes better than dessert, after all.” A giggle. “I know a really nice little cafe we can go to here in Malie if you wanna sit down. They serve really good tea.”

@beloved-death​ asked: "Happy Birthday Selene!" From Gladion 

AWW! HOW SWEET OF HIM TO DROP BY. Her cheeks are raised from the bubbly grin that seems permanent on her features today. “Mahalo, Gladion! It means a lot that you remembered!”

Gladion's Present

Gladion was supposed to be on a trip to the Galar region, meeting with some potential sponsors to help the Aether Foundation. He was supposed to not come back for another week. He did promise a call today (after all, he wanted to wish her a happy birthday), but it was starting to get late and she hadn’t received anything.

Of course, that was because he was coming to surprise her in person. A random knock on her door was enough for him to get her attention, and Gladion readily accepted any welcome she may have had with open arms. “I wanted to wish you a happy birthday in person, business trips be damned.” Maybe it was because he got to see her again, but he was a lot more cheery than normal today.

Once they had time to settle down and greet each other, Gladion pulled out several boxes from his bag, setting them down all in front of her neatly so she could pick and choose which one she would want to open first. Inside three of them were various high-end camera lenses, all of which would fit well with her current camera, and all the newest models as well!

The last one, however, was something special. A brand new phone, complete with it’s own purple case adorned with golden stars and a crescent moon, the name “Mahina” inscribed around the moon. “I’d figure I’d help you get with the times while I was in Galar… so I got you a Rotom-grade smartphone for your own Rotom to inhabit. Think of it as my extra special birthday present to you.”

A SERENE MORNING--RATHER WHAT WAS LEFT OF IT GIVEN HER SLEEPING HABITS soon became a busy afternoon full of celebration and well wishes from family, friends and fans alike. Serenades, small gifts, lots of laughter, a delicious lunch and the cherry on top: cupcakes. Sooooo many cupcakes (with the cutest moon designs on them) that she probably could eat the dessert for the rest of the week. Twice a day--which was a really tempting idea, given her sweet tooth. The kindness she’d received from so many made her heart full, had her wearing the merriest smile the entire day.

Yet afternoon had become evening. 

Minutes becoming hours and hours becoming...more hours. 

And she’d heard not a single ring from her phone. The time passing so rapidly, making her wonder quietly if the promise Gladion made would actually come true today. Selene knew her rival--her close friend, not to be a person to make idle promises--if he said something he was certainly going to do it, even if it cost him his health sometimes. (And who was she to judge given her similar habits.) But she also knew Gladion was human....and the sole head of a company. He could be super busy in Galar still, doing way more important things that would benefit Aether. 

Much as she did want to hear his voice today, she’d understand if he couldn’t find any free time. 

...but even as she’d made up her mind about that, that didn’t mean azure eyes weren’t repeatedly checking over her phone, as she lay sprawled across her couch. An old rom-com, one of her favorites, was watching her more than she was it--and it’s right when Selene let out a heavy sigh and rested her phone on its face that there’s an unexpected knock on the apartment door. She blinks. 

‘Maybe another birthday surprise or something?’ She reasons to herself as she rolls out her spot and makes her way to the door. 

And birthday surprise doesn’t begin to describe the sight of Aether’s President before her himself. Her eyes widened. Lips parted. He...he came all the way back just to see her in person for her birthday? Without any warning, Alola’s Champion flings her arms around him with enough force to nearly knock them both off balance, smiling perhaps the biggest she has all day. “I thought you forgot, Glad...!” She mumbles into his chest, joyful laughter escaping after the admission. “Come in, you’ve gotta be tired!” 

She wastes no time in tugging him inside and practically skipping as she leads him to the living room. It’s probably going to have no effect on him, but the minute they’re settled she finds herself pouting at him regardless. “I was waiting by the phone all day...you should’ve texted me.” Huffed words as she nudges him playfully. 

When he starts setting gift boxes before her, childish wonder paints Selene’s features. Seeing him was enough, but now he’s brought a lot of gifts. “You just wait, I’m gonna get you something really special one of these days and you’ll never see it coming!” A tease, but he should know very well she’s also serious. With that, she’s opening the first three boxes before her, endearingly bouncing in her spot at the sight of the lenses. “These are so quality!! Ah, and they’ll totally fit my camera! The pictures I’ll be able to get are gonna be amazing!” 

Her hand moves to the last gift. Jaw dropping. Eyes twinkling. Talk about getting with the times, this phone was incredible! The colors and aesthetic beautiful, so her--and she feels her heart soften at the inscription of her middle name.  “You make it seem like I’m not a techy girl.” A laugh before she’s beaming. “I can’t wait to figure it all out! I know Rotie’s gonna love it too!” 

“But Glad...You flying all the way out here was already the extra special birthday present.” She hums, arms embracing him in a much softer embrace this time around. “You didn’t have to do that. I...I hope it didn’t get in the way of things back in Galar.”

Lisia stood before her with a bright smile and a large basket cradled somewhat awkwardly in her arms. “Haaaappy Birthdaaaay!” she sang, offering the basket out to Selene. The plan had been in motion from almost the first moment Lisia learnt of their shared birthday. Her thoughts had zipped into overdrive and put pieces together, soon going ahead to make the necessary arrangements of ordering things and getting a particular pair of prized pokemon prepared to procreate.

“I know you’ve already got a lot going on and all, but I absolutely had to give you this sweet little egg! I just know you two will be so good for each other, I can feel it!”

One as knowledgeable and experienced as the current Alolan Champion would likely recognise the blue, white spotted egg as one that would hatch into an Azurill. Wrapped around the egg to secure and warm it was another gift for Selene; a Primarina themed ‘mermaid’ blanket.

But wait, there’s more! Tucked along the edge of the basket was also a decently sized scrapbook, ready to be filled with the memories of the new life and connection.“…I didn’t go too far, did I?” she asked, belatedly hit by worry at being presumptuous. Not everyone would be okay with suddenly having an egg given to them after all.

IT ISN’T OFTEN THAT SELENE GETS TO SEE LISIA, BOTH OF THEM BEING VERY BUSY BEES, and so it’s all the more special that the turquoisette is able to see her in person on their birthday! That alone had warmth blossoming in her chest already, a wide smile of her own pulling at her lips. “Ma~halo~!” Comes her sing song declaration of gratitude, Alola’s champion barely managing to contain a small fit of giggles of glee. “I should be saying that to you too, birthday twin!” ...but then it hits that a gift is offered to her. 

Blues widen, head tilting, lips forming an ‘o’ of surprise that melt back into a softened smile--it’s right on the tip of her tongue to say ‘you didn’t have to!’ but, something tells her Lisia knows she didn’t have to. It’s just...well, she happened to have a sponge for a heart and even the littlest thing could move her. 

(Too sentimental? ...maaaaaaybe.) 

But then she hears a word. The magical “E word ” at the same moment that she registers the larger component of the basket, eyes twinkling. “Ah! an egg! An...an Azurill egg!” The familiar pattern...it couldn’t be anything else. That or perhaps she’d have to study up on Pokemon appearances again. But she knew it was an Azurill--and she’s wanted to raise one so she knew. “You got me an Azurill~! I’ve always thought they were adorable!” She was practically grinning ear to ear, arms gently encircling the egg and...oh, blanket to keep them warm?

“I’ll do my best to give you all the love you need, and then when you hatch, we’ll make lots of fun memories together. I promise! My teammates are going to love you too.” Sweet words cooed, before the “blanket” came partially undone--the tail becoming visible. The pattern...the colors...a mermaid tail Primarina blanket! 

And she squeals at it. “Now I can be a mermaid outside the water too~! Ariel’s gonna love that we can match together it’s perfect!”

As if Lisia’s gift package wasn’t wonderful enough, there was the scrapbook--the icing on the cake. Memories were dear to Selene--several scrapbooks of precious moments and people throughout her life tucked away safely in her apartment already. Now, with another book, she’d capture every sweet moment she and her new future friend were to have. 

It’s not that she can’t understand Lisia’s worry, but all she does is instead giggle. Sheer happiness radiating from her. “Not too much at all! These are a-mazing gifts! I was just happy to see you, and then you blew me away! I’m going to take so many pictures with Azurill and we’ll cuddle in my new blanket together!” 

Delicately, she wraps her new egg back up in the blanket and settles it within the basket. If there is another thing about her? She’s prone to being a hugger when she’s overwhelmed joy and can’t stop herself from flinging her arms around Lisia in a joyful embrace. 

“Thank you so, so much!”

@curryuuri​ asked: "I hope this doesn't seem too weird!! but I hope you have a wonderful birthday!"

WARM BLUES MEET THE OTHER GIRL’S FORM, SMILE UPON THE CHAMPION’S LIPS at the well wishes on her birthday. “Ah, Mahalo! It’s so nice of you to remember!” The brunette chirps, before...a blink. And another blink. Followed by two more. Wait a second...could it possibly be-?!

“A-Are you Gloria? The new Galar Champion?” Excitement permeating her voice, the girl lifting on her toes in delight and clasping her hands together. “I’ve heard so much about you, you’ve been in the news a lot! Oh, it’s so nice to meet you, Alola~!” 

[moonkxssed]

IT’S BEAUTIFUL...THE PRESENCE OF THE FULL MOON bathing the waters of Malie in her tranquil glow; there are many sights Selene adores about Alola, yet this is one is one that’s left a lasting impression. For years now, really. Her lips lift at the corners, cheeks raising and a small laughter melting into the breeze because of the little thought that enters her mind: 

Heh, It was almost like the universe was sending her a gift--and what better way to bring in her nineteenth birthday than under the most beautiful body of space?
