A girl in her late teens from the slums of Acryn, Selphina Reese discovered after reading a discarded book she found that she has something of a knack for magic, a talent she takes pride in and practices when not busy helping to provide for her family.

She was one of the victims of the experiments of mad binding mage Lhasya Esdras during the events of Misery Loves Company. Kidnapped and experimented upon, part of her was suppressed so that she along with others might be controlled to perform magic in unison for amplified power (in itself a flawed idea that proved to not work). However, an unexpected side-effect of this was allowing the dragon Tuireann to gain some control over her.

She travelled with the adventurers who were investigating the incident, guiding them away from the city to find her close friend and love interest Enna Walker, who was also one of the victims. After she herself attacked the adventurers, a Wounding ritual by Saul Logan was able to cleanse her of the dragon's influence, but left her with an enormous scar in the shape of a dragon across her body, reaching up to her face.

Though a bit annoyed by the scar and somewhat traumatised by the whole ordeal, she was somewhat inspired by the adventurers who saved her (and the sorts of amounts they get paid), and thus took up a career in adventuring herself.

Since that adventure, she has been in a slightly awkward teen romance-type relationship with Enna.

During The Memory of Chains, whilst under various influences she submitted to the will of Tuireann in the hopes of this allowing her to be closer to Enna. Following the adventure, she has been living in the overgrown Evil Eye with Enna, Darius and Nice Lizard.

Perhaps it is Stockholm Syndrome, but given that she is now closer to Enna than ever before, and rather enjoying her new life with the others whom she has come to see as her family, she has decided that Tuireann is a force of love who is rather misunderstood. Putting aside her occasional ultra-domme moments when her affinity for Binding gets the better of her, she is genuinely well-meaning, if horrifically misguided.
