1. She got her superpowers because of an experiment she joined to get money to pay for college.
2. She failed college because she went to classes astrally and her illusions reacted without her consciously knowing it, so when she thought she was doing assignments and tests, she wasn't.
3. The therapist she was sent to for delusions was a minor psychic who told Selene about her powers and taught her how to use them.
4. She is incapable of dreaming. Ever. If her powers are working, she's not dreaming on her own. If she's in a sleep state above or deeper than dreaming, she's normal.
5. She wanted to become a therapist or something along those lines because of her brother. He had trouble with their parents always working and problems at school. He turned to drinking and then died when she was seven. She wanted to prevent that for others.
6. Before Selene was a superhero and after she failed college, she worked in a bar. She did this because she thought to use her powers to help people and basically looked out for the 'problem drinkers' and helped them work through their problems by using their dreams to get them change. Usually with more positive, guilt driven dreams. And then nightmares if that failed.
7. Selene has a scary, scary temper. She is vindictive and she will get revenge on people.
8. She is also emotionally detached. Because she won't let herself to be swayed by dreams, which feels like reality to her, she ends up being detached in reality. She has to make the conscious effort to not let herself be detached in reality too.
9. Three coolest things she's done: Beat down a giant spider in her bar's bathroom with a mix of beating it with a beer mug and putting it to sleep. The time she got a boost from the Potentializer in Nazi alternate universe and caused mass dream alterations ACROSS THE ENTIRE WORLD to reveal the truth about world war too. And the time she blew up the ENTIRE Kanshian invasion fleet by putting the lead shift to sleep since it was a biological living ship and the fleet worked on hivemind and when it went to sleep, everything blew up. (This happened right before she came to Stacy.)
10. She is the reincarnation of Cassandra. The prophetess who was never believed. She does not know this herself. It is also why she was destined to meet Deja Vu/Helen in her time. Helen was also Helen of Troy.
11. She knows her powers can be seen as invasive and questionable. She has made excuses to justify every bad point about them.
12. She will never, ever, ever tell what she sees in other people's dreams unless she has been asked to look for this information and she thinks it's necessary to find out this information or if the information reveals something that will cause mass evil of some sort.
13. She has asked Helen that should she ever go into a coma and there is the chance of something happening to her memory, that if she does not wake within a month, that she is to be killed. Selene knows how angry she can get and she's afraid of what might happen if she isn't able to keep control of herself.
14. She has a button a smiley face button that she got from the Possessions locker. If she wears it and it's smiling, it means it's her. If it's frowning, it means she's possessed. Again.
15. Helen is the person who designed and made her superhero costume.
16. She is one of two Luminaries who actually has a secret identity. Most of the team don't care enough to do so.
17. She fears nothing. Enough nightmares and nothing is scary anymore. She's not stupid or reckless about things, but she's very logical about her concerns.
