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.


Like Tidus and Wakka (also from the Final Fantasy games), you can challenge her for exp. 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 the three. However, her attacks are easy to block and counter, which means more exp. However, her speed may annoy impatient players, as she sometimes dodges attacks easily.
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.


When the [[Heartless]] destroyed Destiny Islands, her whereabouts were unknown. The most possible answer to this is that she disappeared along when the islands were destroyed. But thanks to Sora she was able to return along with Destiny Islands.

===''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''===
Selphie is the only other islander apart from Sora, Riku and Kairi 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 as she is seen wearing the assumed school uniform. She offers for Kairi to go to the kids' island after school one day and Kairi reveals that she promised herself not to go to the island until she remembers the boy's (Sora's) name. And although Selphie has no memory of Sora, she does believe Kairi's story of his existence. This also hints that Kairi has romantic feelings for Sora, because she can't bring herself to "betray" Sora by going to the island when she can't even remember his name.

A data version of Selphie appears in ''Kingdom Hearts coded'', alongside Wakka and Tidus, all of them made of data. She tells the Data Sora to destroy the block and gives him a Hi-Potion for doing so.
==Design==
 
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''.
==Appearance==
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', Selphie has almost the exact same appearance as in her original game, ''Final Fantasy VIII'', albeit she is younger here. She wears an odd, yellow dress with overall straps and a large pocket on the chest. Minor changes to Selphie's appearance include her original brown boots changing to sandals and the black electrical tape she originally wore on her left wrist being replaced with a loose, blue beaded bracelet. Selphie's eyes are green and she uses a jump rope as a weapon (referencing Selphie's original weapons in ''Final Fantasy VIII'', Nunchaku). She also retains her peculiar hairstyle; brown hair styled into one large curl on the back of her head and two more on either side.


In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', a slightly older and noticeably taller Selphie is briefly seen in a school uniform similar to the one Kairi wears. However, Selphie wears her uniform straight, with the T-shirt worn simply as a T-shirt, unlike Kairi, who rolls her sleeves up into a makeshift tank top. Selphie 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 belt (possibly a watch) around her left wrist in lieu of her bracelet. Another accessory of hers is the "moogle bag," which she is seen with for a mere moment in ''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 Re:coded]]'', Selphie's thighs are noticeably larger, giving her "quite an adult impression". This is due to a mistake among the developers, though they ultimately decided to keep the change.<ref>'''Ultimania Interview; Mai Okauchi''' [http://ffplanet.exteen.com/20101115/kingdom-hearts-re-coded-ultimania-interview-part-1]: 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."</ref>

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.


In all of Selphie's appearances, she dons a small bracelet on her lower arm. However, this bracelet changes throughout its different incarnations. In ''Kingdom Hearts'', her bracelet is on her left arm, in ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', it is on her right arm, and in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' it is brown, contrary to the other games in which it is blue.

Selphie seems to be a typical "girly-girl", as she is carefree, fights very scarcely with her jump rope, and overall acts like a little girl. She also seems to be a romantic of sorts for when you talk to her a second time on Destiny Islands she mentions how romantic the [[Paopu Fruit]] legend is. Her romantic nature is heightened when [[Kairi]] (After talking about Riku) tells her she is sending a letter to the "other boy", who turns out to be [[Sora]] - Selphie is rather charmed by Kairi's idea.

Selphie Tilmitt was originally a major character from ''Final Fantasy VIII'', in which she is a classmate of [[Squall]]'s 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 later graduates to SeeD with Squall and Zell, 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 Irvine, who serves as her copilot on the Ragnarok.

Selphie is a minor character in the Kingdom Hearts series, originally from Final Fantasy VIII.

Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts[edit]

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 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.

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.

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories[edit]

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.[KH Re:CoM]

Kingdom Hearts II[edit]

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 letter to Sora reaches him.

Kingdom Hearts coded[edit]

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[edit]

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.[1]

Personality[edit]

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[edit]

Main article: 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[edit]

Selphie Tilmitt originated as a major character from 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 graduates to SeeD with Squall and 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 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.
