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''.

We were all pretty nervous and fluttery over our carelessness."</ref>


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.

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.
