Template:InfoCharacter Selphie is a minor character in the Kingdom Hearts series, originally from Final Fantasy VIII.
Personality
Selphie seems to be a typical "girlie girl", as she is carefree, fights very scarcely, 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 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.
Journal Entries
Kingdom Hearts
A spunky girl who lived on the Destiny Islands. She is rather impulsive, and quite the romanticist. Nobody knows what happened to her after her island disappeared.
"Final Fantasy VIII"
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
A perky girl from Sora's islands.
Selphie is assertive and tends to leap before she looks, she also has a romantic side.
Kingdom Hearts II
Final Fantasy VIII
A girl who lived on the same islands as Sora. She always played with Sora and the other boys.
Selphie's whereabouts were in question after Destiny Islands vanished some time ago, but thanks to Sora's help, she was able to return home.
Story
Kingdom Hearts
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 that helps determine his leveling pace during his Dive into the Heart in the Destiny Islands area. Her question, "What is most important to you?" can be answered with either A) being number one, B) friendship, or C) my prize possessions.
Like Tidus and Wakka, you can challenge her to a fight for experience 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.
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: Chain of Memories
A memory-based version of Selphie appears within Castle Oblivion in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. 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. In the ending credits of Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, she is shown playing on the beach with Tidus and Wakka while Kairi looks at the Small Island.
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 the the island until she remembers the boy's (Sora's) name. 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.
Battle Skills
Selphie fights with a hopping rope, which is a toy version of sorts to her original nunchaku.
On Destiny Islands, she practices fighting skills with Sora as a way for the player to improve his level. During the fight, if Sora manages to deflect her jump rope, he can earn 1-2 Tech Points. If the jump rope hits Selphie's head in the process, Sora gains an extra Tech Point. It should be noted, though, that if Sora fights only by deflecting Selphie's jump rope, her HP will be reduced to 1 and will not decrease any further, making it a good way for Sora to gain experience before dealing the final blow.
On the second day, Sora is able to fight against Wakka, Tidus and Selphie at the same time.

Trivia
- In the Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts II it is hinted that Selphie is younger than Kairi, as she calls her big sister (onee-san). This should only be true, as Wakka's age is presented in Kingdom Hearts as 15, and the eldest among the trio of himself, Selphie and Tidus. Amusingly, she is attitude-wise the youngest of the six main characters, despite being one of the older members of the party.
