| '''Selphie''' is a minor character in the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' series, originally from ''{{ff|Final Fantasy VIII}}''.

|
| ==Story==
| | '''Selphie''' is a minor character in the [[Kingdom Hearts series|''Kingdom Hearts'' series]], originally from ''Final Fantasy VIII''. She is voiced by Molly Keck in the English versions of ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and [[wikipedia:Mayuko Aoki|Mayuko Aoki]] in the Japanese versions. |
| ===''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''===
| |
| Selphie is a resident of the [[Destiny Islands]] and a friend of [[Sora]], [[Kairi]] and [[Riku]]. She spends most of her time with [[Tidus]] and [[Wakka]].
| |
|
| |
|
| She is one of three to ask Sora a question during his [[Dive to the Heart]] in the Destiny Islands area. Her question, "What is most important to you?" can be answered with either, "being number one", "friendship", or "my prize <!--sic-->possessions". Later, Selphie talks to Sora about the legends of mysterious effects the [[paopu fruit]] has on people. Sora can also challenge her to a duel; if he defeats her, Tidus, and Wakka, he can challenge all three at once.
| | ==Biography== |
|
| |
|
| Her whereabouts are unknown after the [[Heartless]] destroy Destiny Islands. However, thanks to Sora, she is able to return to Destiny Islands when it is restored.

| | [[Image:Kh-selphie.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Selphie in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'']] |
| A memory-based version of Selphie appears within [[Castle Oblivion]]. Sora briefly speaks to her along with Tidus and Wakka when he goes to Destiny Islands. When Riku goes there, she also appears with Tidus and Wakka, but quickly disappears.
| |
|
| |
|
| Some time after the defeat of [[Marluxia]], the real Selphie plays with Tidus and Wakka on the beach while Kairi watches the small island, waiting for Sora.{{ReCoM}}
| | Selphie is a resident of the [[Destiny Islands]] and of [[Sora]], [[Kairi]] and [[Riku]]. She spends much of her time with [[Tidus]] and [[Wakka]]. Like Tidus and Wakka, you can challange her to a fight for experiance points. She uses a jump rope (a would-be toy counterpart of her original incarnation's weapon, a nunchaku) to attack, and is probably the fastest out of herself, Tidus, and Wakka. However, her attacks are easy to block and counter, which means more exp. |

| |
| [[File:Kairi and Selphie 01 KHII.png|thumb|left|Selphie tells Kairi she does not have any memories of Sora as they discuss his existence.]]
| |
| Like the other islanders, Selphie has forgotten Sora as a result of [[Naminé]]'s manipulations. She invites Kairi to go to the kids' island after school one day, but Kairi reveals that she promised herself not to go to the island until she remembers Sora's name. Although Selphie has no memory of Sora and can only remember Riku who she misses since his disappearance, she does believe Kairi's story of Sora's existence. She hopes that Kairi's [[Kairi's Letter|letter]] to Sora reaches him.

| ===''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''===
| |
| A data version of Selphie appears on the [[Datascape]]'s Destiny Islands, alongside Data-Wakka and Data-Tidus. She has [[Data-Sora]] destroy [[Bug Blox]] on the beach, and rewards him with an item.

|
| ==Design== | | ===Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories=== |
| The official ''Kingdom Hearts'' website states that she is thirteen years old at the beginning of ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' and fourteen during the events of ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
| |
| | |
| Selphie is a short, thin girl with lightly tanned skin, green eyes, and light brown hair in a peculiar hairstyle, with one large curl on the back of her head and two more on either side. In ''Kingdom Hearts'', she wears a short yellow dress with overall straps and a large pocket on the chest, a blue beaded bracelet on her left wrist, and brown-strapped tan sandals. She carries a brown-handled jump rope that she uses as a practice weapon. She retains this appearance in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' and ''Kingdom Hearts coded''.
| |
| | |
| In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', a slightly older and noticeably taller Selphie is briefly seen in a school uniform similar to the one Kairi wears: a short-sleeved white polo shirt, a plaid, sky blue tie, a pleated skirt of the same color, navy blue knee-high socks, and black shoes. She also wears a small brown strap around her left wrist in lieu of her bracelet from ''Kingdom Hearts'', and carries a pink-lined white handbag with charms shaped like yellow stars and a moogle.

| | |
| 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>

|
| ==Personality==
| | [[Image:KHCoM-Selphie.gif|left]] |
| Selphie is carefree and outgoing. She also seems to be a romantic of sorts, commenting how romantic the paopu fruit legend is to Sora when he speaks to her on Destiny Islands. She also appears rather charmed by Kairi's idea of sending a letter in a bottle to the "other boy." | |
|
| |
|
| ==Abilities==
| | A memory-based version of Selphie appears within [[Castle Oblivion]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''. |
| {{Main|Game:Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka}}
| |
| On Destiny Islands, Selphie practices fighting skills with Sora using a jump rope as a practice weapon. She is faster than Tidus or Wakka, jumps away from or around Sora during battle, and her jump rope can stun Sora if it lands. However, her jump rope can be deflected back at her and stun her instead. After defeating Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka as individuals, Sora is able to fight against them all at the same time.

| ==Origin== | | ===Kingdom Hearts II=== |
| [[File:Selphie FFVIII.png|left]]
| |
| 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 is the only other Islander to appear in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. Like the other characters, she is shown to have forgotten Sora as a result of [[Naminé]]'s manipulations. She is a schoolmate of Kairi's. |
|
| |
|
| While Selphie is not the only character from ''Final Fantasy VIII'' to appear in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, she never meets Leon, Seifer, [[Fuu]], or [[Rai]], due to living on different worlds, breaking Selphie apart from her former castmates to coincide with the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series' theme of multiple franchises and works combining.
