Selphie

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.

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 Re: Chain Of Memories

Kingdom Hearts II
''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.

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. 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.

Kingdom Hearts II
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. She offers for Kairi to go to the kids' islet after school one day and Kairi reveals that she promised herself not to go the the islet 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 islet when she can't even remember his name.

Trivia

 * A player may receive tech points when fighting Selphie by timing an attack when she attacks and knocking her jump rope back. Periodically if you do this it will give an additional point by bouncing back and hitting her in the head.
 * 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 13, and the eldest among the trio of himself, Selphie and Tidus.
