Mental characteristics
As an imp, Selena didn't start out envious of others. She was incredibly introverted, and although she desperately wanted friends, she was too shy to talk to people. As she grew into an arch-imp, and then a devil, her introversion continued to work against her, developing into severe social anxiety. Over time, constantly seeing other peoples' friendships and relationships seeded a deep envy and hatred within her for those who were happy, and had the social life she had always wanted. She eventually came to distrust everyone around her, and even when people tried to reach out to her, she rejected them, fearing that they would eventually abandon her in the end, further isolating herself.
By the time she had entered school, Selena's envy was set in stone, and she regularly lashed out at others, becoming a bully. Her grades were adequate, but her personality concerned her professors and she was eventually expelled, giving her a confirmation bias that nobody wanted or liked her. After that, Selena was adrift, never staying in one place for long, facing rejection everywhere she went, sometimes responding with violence. Eventually she settled down deep into the Surface layer, away from most settlements and large towns, where she could be alone, and allow her resentment of others to fester and consume her whole. And as she did, the symbol of Envy appeared above her head: A broken heart, with black smoke rising from the fissure.
This gave Selena new motivation. She knew that her new status automatically made her an overlord of Hell. If she couldn't be liked, she would force people to respect her instead. She returned to devilkind with a new fire in her heart, and wasted no time proving her dominance to everyone around her, ensuring they were made aware of her authority. If anyone below her command talked out of line, they were promptly beaten and sometimes even killed. She took great satisfaction in subjugating those who had scorned her before, forcing them to do her bidding and punishing those who insulted her.
Soon, she demanded to see the other Sins, and when she met them, she made sure they knew who she was and what her status was. She constantly butted heads with them, and her hatred for them only grew. The only one she didn't dislike was Neikona, who saw through her defense mechanisms and realized the root problem; the pain of rejection Selena had been dealing with all these years. Even though Selena tried to keep up her facade, when no one else was around other than her and Neikona, she went to Neikona for comfort. It wasn't much, but it at least gave her some reprieve from the daily scorn she recieved. At present, she can usually be found overseeing the torture happening in her domain, the Sixth Circle of Hell, representing Envy.
Although she was expelled from school, Selena took it upon herself to become knowledgeable in many different subjects, including combat and assassination, becoming one of the most skilled assassins Hell had ever seen.
Selena is currently employed as the Sin of Envy and as an Overlord of Hell.

Selena generally cares for no one but herself. She has no sympathy for anyone else, and often wallows in her own self-pity, while also showing hatred for those who are happy or successful.
Personality Characteristics
At the moment, Selena has no real long-term goals or motivations.
Selena is incredibly skilled at hand to hand combat and assassination techniques. However her envy and hatred often get the better of her, and she loses her cool, flying into an unstoppable rage.
Likes: Attention, being accepted, isolation, Neikona, seeing others suffer, sour and bitter foods
Dislikes: Her fellow devils, rejection, seeing others happy or successful, sweet and savory foods, the other Sins
Selena will not rest until an assassination has been carried out, and hunts her prey relentlessly without tiring or wearing out. She always gets the job done.
Her envy and hatred of others makes others dislike and reject her, which creates a positive feedback loop, as she becomes more and more convinced everyone hates her. She loses her temper easily, and enjoys watching others lose everything and suffer.
Social
The other Sins are Selena's allies. She is the direct foil of Mikhail, the Virtue of Kindness. Erebos, the God of Darkness, is her true father, but they are estranged.
The God of Darkness, Erebos, is her biological father, but she is estranged from him.
Like all devils, Selena believes in
Erebos, but does not actively worship him.
Selena is incredibly introverted, but more than that, she lashes out at people and has no problem showing her disgust and hatred for them, especially if they have many friends or are in a romantic relationship.
