Hooks:
Sela often struggles with her personal role as a Realm Knight and Guardian of the Earth. It causes her to doubt her worthiness in the role. Her trusting nature can get her into trouble but she believes that there always has to be some good in everyone. She sometimes can be a bit serious and eccentric in her personality. This causes people to sometimes see her as a bit of a hardass but those that know her will also know that she never gives up, always stays in the fight, and would die to protect the people of Earth. Her indomitable will is one of her defining character traits.
What would the others(players) possibly know about you?Everyone knows that she is a professor and is she is known as a teacher that drives her students hard.

However, students that stick with the class almost always get good grades as she gives frequent opportunities for students to do additional work to make up for lost grades.
What weakness do you possess or what is your weakest skill? She is not a very creative person. Charging into battle or tackling every problem head on is her normal go to.
What is your biggest personality flaw?Sela's sense of humor is lacking or at least it's buried below the surface of a tough exterior.
What are you most afraid of?That someone will try to take her daughter away from her again.
Tales:
- Sela was made the Guardian of the Nexus long before she was ready when her predecessor was killed by an evil Witch. At first she stumbled in her new role and very briefly ended up being coerced and tricked into doing evil and harm to the people she was sworn to protect.
- Sela became a Realm Knight when all of the other Realm Knights were slaughtered by an entity known as the Dark One.
- As the result of an enchantment, Sela forgot that she had a daughter for about 17 years but has since been reunited with her now teenager daughter. Their relationship is... complicated.
- Note: Sela's daughter, Skye, is a student at Arcane Acres. Sela made this choice as a way to be closer to her, protect her, and guide her as she develops her powers.
Sela's Arcane Abilities (special instructor NPC):
Sela is an instructor, a Realm Knight, Guardian of the Nexus (Earth), and soul remaining person in all of the realms that has personal dominion over the portals between realms. This makes her one of the most powerful beings in all of the realms. While her powers are still no match for individuals like The Dark One, or the Dark Queen, or any number of nearly omnipotent beings she is still immensely powerful and able to wield in one form or another a bit of power from each of the four realms.
She is also the keeper of the original mystic tome of the Grimm Fairy Tales, which power has the unique ability to draw it's reader into a dream like realm where they will live out a sort of horror/nightmare version of the fairy tale - a fairy tale which will have either a happy ending or a disturbing ending based on the choices that the reader makes.
Contained within the mystic tome is also the legendary indestructible Excalibur which Sela and call forth at will as a weapon.
She is also the holder of the key to a pocket dimension on Earth where a library of all of the knowledge from all of the realms is stored. Protecting this is one of her most sacred duties as the Guardian of the Nexus
