Selphie Tilmitt is a playable character in Squaresoft's (now Square Enix) RPG Final Fantasy VIII.

Selphie's first appearance in the game comes when she runs into Squall Leonhart while late for her class. She asks Squall to show her around because she has just transferred to Balamb Garden from Trabia Garden.

Selphie's next appearance occurs during the SeeD exam mission during Galbadia's assault on the Dollet Dukedom. Selphie is a messenger for her squad and is ordered to tell all other squads to withdraw at a certain time. Selphie chases after the squad consisting of Squall, Zell Dincht, and Seifer Almasy, and her FMV entrance shows her tripping and falling down a cliff before them. She joins the party once Seifer runs off.

Spunky, hyper, and somewhat childish, Selphie seems misplaced as part of an elite military academy, but she is actually a valuable asset to the party. She is highly talented with computers and machinery - during the game, she runs her own website, disarms missiles, and pilots the starship Ragnarok. She wields oversized nunchaku in battle and her final limit break The End is the most powerful out of all the main protagonists', which will send any enemy to a field of flowers and then instantly defeat it (however, if fighting multiple stage enemies, The End will only eliminate one stage). Despite her girlish demeanor, she also shows flashes of a subtle bloodthirsty streak and an unexpectedly black sense of humor. In the Japanese version, it is revealed that Selphie thinks in Kansai-ben (a Japanese dialect associated with humor in Japan) and thus her quirky style is somewhat justified. In the European version, her weapon of choice is called Shinobou.

Other appearances

A younger version of Selphie also appears as a non-player character in the Kingdom Hearts series with Tidus and Wakka (both of whom she likes to boss around somewhat). By Kingdom Hearts II, Selphie is a little lonely as she and the guys (who are physically absent in KH2) drifted a bit and are now into different things. She appears to be rather friendly with Kairi.
