During development of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'', a coding mistake made her legs slightly fatter, giving her a more adult impression.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded Ultimania]]''''', '''Mai Okauchi:''' "Once, the people from the cutscene team looked at the graphics we'd prepared, and pointed out "Selphie is getting a bit sexy, isn't she? (laughs) We took a look and saw that Selphie's legs were one size fatter because of a mistake we'd made, and thanks to her plump thighs she really did give quite an adult impression... We were all pretty nervous and fluttery over our carelessness." [http://www.kh2.co.uk/kingdom-hearts-recoded/news/kh-recoded-ultimania-interviews.php Translation via Goldpanner].</ref> | |||

Selphie Tilmitt originated as a major character from '' | Selphie Tilmitt originated as a major character from ''{{ff|Final Fantasy VIII}}'', in which she is a classmate of [[Squall Leonhart]] at Balamb Garden, having recently transferred from Trabia Garden. She is active and energetic, although slightly clumsy. She participates in many extracurricular activities, such as planning the Garden Festival and running the school's website. She wields Nunchaku in battle, and her Limit Break, "Slot", allows the player to cast a random spell numerous times. She is obsessed with trains and other vehicles, and she ended up being the pilot of the team's starship. Selphie first shows up when she runs into Squall while late for class, and later joins Squall's team after [[Seifer]] runs off during a field exam. She graduates to SeeD with Squall and {{ff|Zell Dincht}}, and the three are assigned to the same team, which is given a mission to free the small nation of Timber from the giant Republic of Galbadia. During the game, she recovers her childhood closeness with {{ff|Irvine Kinneas}}, who serves as her copilot on the Ragnarok. | ||
Selphie was the second character that Nomura designed for the game, after Squall, intentionally giving her an impractical hairstyle. Initially, Nomura drew her in overalls; however, he realized that none of the characters would be wearing a skirt. In the end, he gave Selphie a mini-skirt and let Quistis have pants. | Selphie was the second character that Nomura designed for the game, after Squall, intentionally giving her an impractical hairstyle.
