Selphie Tilmitt

Selphie Tilmitt is a playable character in Final Fantasy VIII.

Appearance and Personality
Selphie is a childish, hyperactive sort, who is always looking to have some fun. However, she is not stupid, and has a flair for electronics, with her running her own website, being the head of the Garden Festival Committee, disarming missles and piloting an airship during the course of the game. She often says a lot of cutesy things and tries to bring Squall out of his shell, much to his chagrin.

Selphie most often wears yellow overall dress, and is lethal with the Nunchaku.

Story
Selphie grew up in the same orphanage as the rest of the group (except Rinoa). She was later adopted and was sent to Trabia Garden to train to become a SeeD. Since Trabia Garden does not allow the Junctioning of Guardian Forces, she did not Junction one until she defeated a monster which contained a GF. This way, the GF's ability to make people forget did not affect her until then, and she can remember a bit more about her past. At the beginning of the game, she was transferred to Balamb Garden to take her final SeeD test, which she passed.

It is debated whether Selphie and Irvine become a couple, with only a few scenes in the game pointed to as evidence.

Selphie in Battle
Selphie utilizes Nunchaku and upgrades of that weapon, such as a mace. Her Limit Break, Slots, allows her to cast spells without drawing, at random. Some weaker spells, like Cure and Thunder can be cast up to 5 times. The player can do over the Slots infinitely. She also has four spells that cannot be cast without Slots:
 * Full-Cure - Restores all party members' HP and removes all status effects
 * Wall - Casts Protect and Shell on all party members.
 * Rapture - Wings appear and carry enemies away
 * The End - The party instantaneously wins the battle. Works against all enemies, even Omega Weapon.

Kingdom Hearts series
A younger Selphie shows up in Kingdom Hearts as a resident of Destiny Islands. Rikku from Final Fantasy X was originally meant to be in the game, but to avoid confusion with the character Riku, Selphie was put in the game in her place. She is good friends with Tidus, Wakka, Sora and the rest, and spends a lot of time keeping Tidus and Wakka in line. She uses a jump rope instead of nunchaku.

In Kingdom Hearts II, Selphie is seen back near the islands in some cutscenes with Kairi. She is wearing a typical school girl uniform this time around, and mentions Tidus and Wakka who are never actually seen in the game.
