Selene is a beautiful girl with an incredible figure who gets hit on as she walks through the town that appears in "A Story of a Boy from a Village Before the Last Dungeon Living in an Early Town," or "Last Dungeon" for short. She's devoted to the main character, Lloyd, which sounds nice, but in reality she's an ultra-stalker and the weight of her love is super intense! Even the people around her are shocked by her behavior. So what caused Selene to develop such a personality? In this article, we'll introduce Selene from when she had the eyes of a warrior to the present day when she has become a stalker!
Serene looks serious when she first appears
Let's start with Serene when she first appeared. At that time, she was not called Serene, but "Belt Princess" or "Cursed Belt Princess". As you can see, the reason for the name is the belt wrapped around her head. When she was a child, she touched a rare item (cursed belt) that her father collected, and she has spent many years with the belt wrapped around her head. The power of the curse is so great that even monks and scholars cannot break it. In the midst of all this, Selene's only hope was the words of the monk, who told her to "gain the strength to overcome the curse." Relying only on these words, Selene honed her sword skills, and eventually her skills reached the royal capital, where she was able to take the exam for the military academy.
A naive young lady inside?
She has sharp eyes and an aura that keeps people away, but inside she is a genuine young lady from a local noble family. She has never cooked or even shopped. She was hungry and wanted to go shopping, but didn't know how to spend money. She happened to see Lloyd shopping, and learned that she could exchange money for goods. After that, she even practiced shopping in the back alleys, but in the end Lloyd gave her some skewered fried food as a gift, so she didn't go shopping this time.
The moment Selene was freed from the "Cursed Belt Princess"
Selene was hiding her face by pulling her hood up deep because she didn't want to be seen as creepy by the people around her, but when she encountered a monster, mud got on her face and clothes, and Lloyd wiped it off. Lloyd noticed the dirt on her face and flipped her hood over, so Selene hurriedly put the hood over her face to hide it. She was in tears because even Lloyd was creeped out by the fact that he had seen her face, but Lloyd didn't care and flipped his hood over again and wiped the mud off her face with a handkerchief engraved with "ancient runes". In the end, this was the trigger for breaking the curse on the belt, but Selene developed feelings for Lloyd at this moment, and when the curse on the belt was lifted, she began to pour out her abnormal love for him.
Selene's personality changed after falling in love with Lloyd
A few days after being freed from the cursed belt, Lloyd and Selene met again at the military academy exam. However, when they met, Selene looked completely different from when they first met. We often see descriptions of "hearts in the eyes," but that's no longer the case. Her body was shaking, her breathing was rough, and smoke was coming out of her head. Furthermore, he repeatedly called out "Mr. Lloyd" as if he was casting a spell. In contrast, he glared at Riho, who he mistook for a love rival, and questioned her about their relationship.
Selene and Marie's first meeting
Selene and Riho came to a witch's shop, which is rumored to be a place where various information is gathered, to find information about the missing princess. However, it was not the witch who greeted them at the shop, but Lloyd. The witch and Lloyd are living together!? Selene began to tremble at the thought. After that, she was in a good mood after talking about her love history with Lloyd (one month), but when Marie returned, she greeted him in broken Japanese with a terrifying expression like a monster. Marie was taken aback by his gaze. Furthermore, when Lloyd introduced Selene to Marie as a "friend," Selene cried tears of blood.
Even if Selene has martial arts skills, she has no eye for identifying strong people?
In this work, people with a certain level of ability, such as Riho and the instructors, can sense how dangerous a person is just by their presence and aura. In fact, when Riho met Lloyd, she was so intimidated by his aura that she ran away from reality. However, Selene does not have such abilities, and there is no depiction of her being frightened when she first met Lloyd. When she first met Alka, she threatened him by shooting guns at him, ignoring Riho who was frightened and said, "You're more dangerous than Lloyd."
The "cursed belt" becomes a "protective belt" for Selene
The cursed belt had tormented Selene for many years, but after the curse was lifted, Selene did not discard it, but instead wrapped it around her waist and used it as a belt. In the end, he hates the cursed belt so much that he tries to peel the skin off his face... but perhaps he couldn't throw it away after it had been a part of his body for so many years. (Or perhaps he threw it away to prevent the curse from being placed on someone else?) However, this belt was actually cursed for "certain reasons" and was originally made from the skin of the "Holy Beast Vritra" and was an artifact passed down by Conlon that protects the wearer from all evil. Now that Lloyd has lifted the curse, the "Cursed Belt" has become the "Belt that Protects Selene" and automatically protects Selene from all enemy attacks.
There are some exceptions where Vritra's belt does not react
Vritra's belt reacts to malice and protects Selene. He mercilessly counterattacked not only Alan's attacks but also Alka's malice, trying to protect Selene. However, the younger of the Kinon sisters, Philo Kinon, was someone Vritra did not react to at all. She is a very aggressive and outrageous battle maniac who suddenly attacked Lloyd with a heel drop when they first met, but Vritra did not react to Philo at all. The reason is that Philo's attacks were not malicious at all. Vritra became nothing more than a belt against Filo, who was emotionless and unleashed his martial arts without any ill intent. By the way, after that, due to Selene's passion? (anger), Vritra started to move as Selene wanted.
About Selene and Magic
One day, as the Continental Student Magic Tournament approached, Colin ordered his students to train in magic. The reason was that he just wanted to find students who could use magic in preparation for the tournament... but for them, who were attending a military academy, studying magic was outside their specialty and was not very welcome. Among them, Selene and Lloyd raised their hands enthusiastically. Lloyd was simply curious to try it, but Selene wanted to learn healing magic to heal Lloyd's wounds and create a fait accompli once they had deepened their bond.
What is Selene's magical knowledge?
Selene raised her hand enthusiastically, but when Riho asked her if she had ever used magic, she snorted and said it was a stupid question, and with a smug look on her face, she said, "I can't use it all." (Probably because she tried to master the sword with her own strength, there was no one to teach her magic.) However, when Lloyd said, "I respect people who can cast fire magic and healing magic," she started asking Colin to teach her fire magic. In the end, she was able to use only the basic fire magic "Flame," and there was a scene where she repeatedly used Flame at the magic tournament.
How did Selene do in the magic tournament finals?
Selen, who has learned magic, even if it is only Flame, will face Philo of the Kinon sisters in the finals. Since it is a competition to compete in "magic" and physical attacks are prohibited, you wonder what the warrior Philo will do, but he takes a rough tactic of hitting her with a magic stone in his hand... (like hitting with a bomb with his bare hands). In response, Selen counterattacks with the belt of Vritra, which she can now control as she pleases... but the attack using this belt is a foul and she will suffer a disqualification loss.
Stalker heroine, Selene summary
So far, what did you think of Selene? This time, we've introduced her activities up until the Magic Tournament, but in fact, you can see more of Selene's activities in the Trent arc that follows. There's a commotion triggered by an arranged marriage meeting, but there are plenty of blissful times for Selene, such as an arranged marriage meeting and a date with Lloyd. I don't know if the anime will go that far, but if it does, Selene fans should keep an eye on the second half of the story!
