DESCRIPTION:
→ No Dresden is ugly. That is what Selina has been brought up upon when she lived with her parents in Creta, her aunt in Xing and then Esparia. So she has made sure that she remains as beautiful as the day she was born. Her pale skin is as soft as a peach and a lovely creamy color without being sickly pale. This is why she also does her best to remain in shape despite her love for food and sweets. She knows her body is a one of the definitions of sexy with her ample bosom, small waist, and plump hips. So what if she's tall for a woman? It's genetics. Besides, it means she has long legs that can help accent her rump and elongate her features.
Her hair is cut short due to preference since long hair is so very troublesome. So the majority of her hair hangs down to the base of her neck, though she did decide to keep the hair that hands from her ears forwards long because…. Well she fucking wanted to ok? Sometimes she rolls up the front most strands so that they don't get in her eyes but leaves the other long strands to frame her face nicely. You can't hide the money maker all the time! Only when its necessary to. Her nose is delicate amongst her features, her eyes an almond shape that often stare with a mild disinterest in things going on about her. Unlike her brother, her eyes aren't a clear absolute red. They are a red-brown. In florescent light, they appear a bit more red than red-brown and in sunlight, they appear more brown.
When she walks, it is always with purpose whether it be slow or fast, graceful or a clunking stomp. She knows where she wants to be and how fast it will take to get there. It also depends on what is going on at the moment for her to decide how to walk. If she wants to play seductress, then it'll be slow and relaxed, emphasizing whatever she's trying to emphasize. If she has to get somewhere fast, then she takes long strides and takes advantage of her height and long legs to get there. She often will ignore those around her in this instance. She very rarely stomps, and if she does, it is only around her brother because of…. some reason. Who knows.
Her sense of fashion is that she wants to look gorgeous all the time and be comfortable. She knows how her brother loves to look formal in his suits, and so she at least tries to match/compliment that in her own way. Its very rarely anything outright "slut like," but instead making her sexy with her clothes on. She doesn't need to be like her girls to make men want her. When she goes to ride her bike, she ensures that she zips up into her "uniform" as she calls it, her helmet matching the black and red tones that consist of the skin tight suit.
...........................................................................
PERSONALITY:
→ If there is one thing that Selina doesn't give two shits about, its other people. There is only one person she will risk losing money, time, her life, or her business over and that is her brother. Oh, and maybe her girls. Selina is a literal ice queen with a pretty face, a black rose given flesh. She doesn't want to hear that you are late on your payments, she doesn't care if its because your kids can't get fed and your wife needs hospital bills paid. If you owe her gambling money, her sharks money, or anything, then you can bet your life will turn to shit real fast. At least… if you don't outright lose it right then and there.
For obvious reasons, this makes her hard to approach. She's always a business woman first and foremost, and her business consists of cards and numbers. She is a cardsharp and she loves her card games as much as any of the patrons that frequent her casino in Creta. But she will pretty consistently win, and not just because she's the owner. It is what she's good at, and she is not ashamed to admit it. She is extremely proud of it in fact. Her brother has his strong points, and she has hers.
This isn't to say she'll be cruel just to be cruel, thats hardly the case. She seems sweet and civil to everyone she meets, maybe even friendly. That is one mask she wears in order to interact with the public. Her other mask? She only wears when its…. appropriate. If she's decided to take a particular mission personally, she wears an appropriate disguise. Mask, wig, and good clothes for the job. Then she makes them pay. These cases are few and far between, but when they happen…. it isn't pretty. Her alkahestry is about destruction, not healing. She is utterly ruthless and equally as cold and calculating as any General in an army. Just without all the red tape.
If you at least earn her respect, she isn't completely cold to you. The likelihood of you catching glances of what she can be like around her brother, and maybe her girls, increases ever so slightly is all. Mind you thats a hard enough task in itself for though you might be a useful minion, she also demands that those she speaks to in conversation (relaxed or otherwise) can keep up with how fast her minds works. If they can't, she gets frustrated, and doesn't want to deal with them anymore. She'll leave that to a minion. They will just waste her time otherwise.
While her brother has his temper, she conceals hers very well. He often explodes and creates a blood bath in that way, she prefers to catch people off-guard. Many mistake her to be less terrifying than her brother but in truth, she is just as monstrous as he is. She will keep a cool head on the other hand when he often flies off the handle and will save the revenge for a later date, when she can introduce them to her "Sweet Dreams." Thats ALWAYS fun.

...........................................................................
HISTORY:
→ The Dresden's were both overjoyed to have their kids born, and at the same time it made their lives even more difficult than it already was. They also did not expect twins, so when Victor and Selina came out, they were even happier. But they were worried, very worried about their children's future since they were fraudsters. Their specialty was con's and whatnot. They had to give up that life, they had to for their children. That was the decision that they made together once they saw those shining faces, and they did strive for this life.
Surprisingly enough, they managed to succeed for a few years, Selina and Victor learning the wonders of moving about a lot in their early years. It was normal to them to not form that many strong attachments with anyone else since they would most likely not see them ever again. This is certainly why Selina and Victor drew closer and closer together. The two were practically glued at the hip. Their parents taught them what they could while they were on the road since they certainly couldn't put them into any school systems and hope to remain under the radar for very long. Besides, that way, their children also knew some of their tricks in case they would ever need to use them later in life. Granted, they were still very young so could only absorb certain things.
Selina certainly did not mind their lifestyle in the least bit. In all actuality, she really loved it. She got to see new places, meet new people and it was like there was always some new adventure around the corner! Though… they did have a lot of rules that they had to follow in order to ensure that the police wouldn't find them. She hated those rules. That was the only part of their life that she wanted to change so very badly. So when their parents got arrested just after their birthday, she learned of the importance of those rules. She screamed and kicked when they tore them away and Victor wasn't any better. Perhaps that was amongst the first signs of the troublemakers that they would become.
The pair were taken down to the Police HQ of whatever city it was at the time and told that they would be living with their fathers brother, Isaiah and his wife, Miranda. She was hesitant to trust these two new people, even if they were related to her parents because, well, it wasn't like they had ever met or really been told anything about their extended family. Hell, for that first week, Selina often took to hiding when she would get called for something much to the frustration of Isaiah and Miranda. It wasn't until Miranda managed to find her one day when she hid in the attic and pulled her aside to show her some of the things that were hidden away there. The secrets that were buried away in those boxes. They were like her parents. From then on she took to her aunt and uncle and readily learned beneath them.
They were placed into school for a while where they learned what any normal child their age should, but those lessons were boring. Sure this was where they realized that she had a knack for numbers, but those were really the only lessons that she liked aside from science. Cretan could be interesting sometimes, but too often the books were so easy that she got bored with them and those in her classroom. The lessons that she truly enjoyed were the ones that her aunt and uncle gave them when they got home. She still retained some of the rules that her parents had instilled within her, such as what her background story was. She knew how to act and fool people, some tricks with locks, and one of the skills that would certainly serve her best, card games. She began to notice patterns in the game when they would play together during family evenings, and soon enough she could win every time. Usually mostly legitimately. She was about ten at the time.
She steadily was growing into one of those loner pre-teens who never really had a lot of friends, but certainly wasn't messed with. She asked her aunt and uncle to place her into a martial arts school once she was ten and quickly began to pick up those skills quickly as well. The thought of boys was one of the furthest things from her mind. No, she always thought of her parents and the potential new life that her aunt and uncle were introducing them to. She never acted out of turn at school and was really a model student except for the fact that she always kept people at a distance. She still hadn't grown out of the thought that she would just leave them behind again.
This was a good thing since once they turned 13, their aunt and uncle gathered the twins and told them what their plan was. Since the two of them had shown such promise with their criminal skills, they were going to separate and take them to countries that would further them. Victor went with Isaiah to Drachma, and Selina went with Miranda to Xing. At first she was speculative about this but once they were there? She fell in love with the country. It was so old and full of grace, and she found that most people could actually keep up with her in conversation! Once they had settled in, she joined a martial arts school there and furthered her education in that area. A friend of her aunts began to teach her how to knife fight and about the wonders of alkahestry. Much to the surprise of everyone involved, her path to alkahestry was a dark one. A very dark one for someone of her age. Though, no one was entirely surprised considering the family history.
Selina went to a school again, having only a little bit of issue in the beginning months as she got the knack of the Xingese language. God it was so much harder than Cretan! She found herself missing her brother at random points over the couple of years in her life. Her aunts friend, Shen Hua, soon became her connection to the Triads where she continued to flourish in her criminal knowledge. About two and a half years passed and then Miranda told Selina that she would be leaving to return to Creta. When she was younger, Selina probably would have yelled in protest, but now? She merely nodded and thanked her for all she had done in her life.
It became clear that the gambling side of the criminal underworld was where she was strongest for she was turning out to be a regular card shark. While following Shen Hua on a survey of the nightlife in Xing, they came across the Red Light district, and it was here that Selina had to stop and observe. These girls here…. some of them had no light in their eyes. Some had bruises or scars on their bodies that they tried to hide, but Selina could see right through them. Shen Hua was rather surprised to see such perception in a 16 year old, and so decided that she would also ask some members of the Triads to teach her about their prostitution ring as well. Selina wanted to help those girls, to teach them the strength that she had been taught while she had been growing up.
So she apprenticed under a couple of members in the Triads with Shen Hua always watching to ensure she wasn't taken advantage of amidst her lessons. She didn't go to college once she finished high school, no… She enrolled in the criminal underworld. She now had gathered quite a decent amount of friends with few enemies, most respecting her for her skills and intelligence. It probably helped that she had grown into a beautiful little flower. But it was when she was 19 that she first actually used her alkahestry that she developed.
One of the girls she had befriended in the red light district had been raped and murdered by one of her customers. Selina requested the job when the Triads asked for someone to go take care of the man. This was when Marionette was born. She wore black clothes and a cloak that she wrapped about her body, a white mask hiding her features from view. At first it had two lines that went through the center of the white eyes with a black down in the center of her forehead, no lips painted on so she did not need to speak. She hunted that man down and pinned him to the wall with a dagger in both wrists and both feet. He was screaming and begging for her to stop, that he was sorry for whatever he had done wrong. She walked up to him slowly and stood over him, just touching one finger to his forehead before turning away. It didn't take long for him to die after that, blood pouring from his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. She was paid well for her duty. It was clear to her now that this criminal life was what she had been born to do.
Once she was 21, she was told to return to Creta for some reason or another and so she did as she was told. She thanked them all for what the invaluable knowledge they had given her, and left the Ancient country behind. When she got there, Victor and Selina quickly realized that their aunt and uncle had been arrested just like their parents. Part of Selina wanted to go and break them all out, but for once it was Victor that told her no. They weren't kept hidden for so long only to get captured or die. So they did what they were bred to do, make crime. The pair started their own little crime ring within Creta with Victor dealing in weapons and Selina taking over gambling and prostitution as the Madam. They were surprisingly successful, or maybe it wasn't so surprising. They had been bred for such purposes!
Of course…. some folk can't stand to see such success. A certain crime lord of the area named Jacob Knox soon began demanding that they owed him money for operating on his turf, and Victor refused. Mr. Knox didn't take so kindly to that, and so Selina got greeted by the sight of her brothers beaten body once his men were done with him. He had been dropped off at home and she came back to find this. She began planning for the man's demise then and there. But they paid their tribute to the bastard for the next three years, all the while their own group growing in power and strength. It was all done very carefully. If there was one thing she had learned in Xing, it was to be patient and operate undercover.
Then the day that they waited for finally arrived, they attacked Club Vivid from which Jacob Knox operated. They tore those assholes to pieces with her brothers guns, and her knives. No one was left alive that day. They reveled in their sweet sweet revenge, as men fell to their weapons of choice, working their way steadily up to where the bastard king himself sat. That was the one time that Selina enjoyed firing a gun. They had the man get down on his knee's before them, each putting a barrel to the back of his head as they dripped in that crimson lifeblood of his men. Then they pulled the trigger and he was no more.
Now free, the Dresden twins took over his throne of power and excelled from there. They had his book of associates, his base of operations that they cleaned up and filled with their own men, thus beginning their crime regime in the city.

Re: Dresden, Selina
{REVISE}
- Case file should declare whether you are militant or non-militant.
- Also you wrote English instead of Cretan in the 5th paragraph as a mistake.
