Selena Tello was born Diana Sylorn, the daughter of former shipping magnate Kara Sylorn, who managed her business with her husband Moko. Her parents created their empire from scratch on Coruscant, and as a result they were really protective of their daughter, afraid that someone could use her against them and hurt her in the process.

For that reason, Diana was raised in a sheltered environement. The Jedi sensed her affinity with the Force at a young age, but her parents managed to use their relations to bar them from taking away their child. Diana grew up unknowing of this fact, reaching her teenage years living a happy life, working towards becoming a diplomat, and dreaming of joining the Order. She studied a lot, held parties with other rich Coruscant kids, and was known as a kind and sociable girl.

Two weeks before the fall of the Republic, Diana found out that she had been barred from entering the Jedi, and felt some sort of calling. The Order was the embodiement of everything she thrived to be, a diplomat working for peace in the galaxy. Two weeks later, she found a way to sneak past her parents' surveillance to go to the Jedi Temple, where she was studying a couple of days later when the slaugther of padawans perpetrated by Anakin Skywalker happened. Diana lost a leg that day, cut down by the future Sith Lord ; she avoided death due to the intervention of other Jedis of the temple, managed to crawl back to the streets and reach out to her chauffeur who brought her home.

She was given a brand new Cybernetic Leg implant, due to her parents being friends with the manufacturer. Sadly, her affinity with the Force was common knowledge in the political spheres, and even though she wasn't affiliated with the Order, a bounty was soon issued for her capture.

Diana had to run. She was hidden by her parents for a while, but soon had to escape the planet. Her parents' company and assets were taken away by the newly-formed Empire, Kara and Moko executed. Diana, 16 years old at that time, only had some spare credits, clothing, and a cybernetic leg. She was afraid, out of her depth, and looking for help anywhere she could.

Diana boarded a ship to Nar Shadaa, looking for a contact of her parents, Botaro. On the ship, she met Kalla Nyx, a young Mikkian wannabe explorer that was escaping to the same destination.

Diana found the guy she was looking for, a local scoundrel, who taught her how to live and behave in the criminal underworld. Diana toughened up and learned to use her charm, her wits and her social skills to live alongside the crimelords.

Diana helped people whenever she could, but her means were often limited, as she kept a low profile due to her bounty. She since then goes by the name Selena Tello.

For several years, she worked for Loyood the Hutt, of the Gorensla clan. She managed to get into the Hutt's good graces, through several successful trade deals arranged between the Rebellion and the Gorensla clan. This link has proved useful, as she kept good contact with the Hutt until now. She worked as an informant and an intermediary, using her talents to gather intel and facilitate trade deals for Loyood the Hutt. She kept a longstanding friendship with Kalla, who was working as a hunter for Loyood.

Through her business, Selena came into contact with a Rebel Soldier, Tamor, a few years back, and finally decided to take matters into her own hands and seriously join the fight against the Empire. She flew to Lantillies to meet him, only to learn he had died in an Imperial bombing. Selena has now joined the Alliance, and tries to find her place in this totally new enviornnement.

***One step beyond***:
The Alliance is understaffed, underequipped and poorer than the Empire. It needs every victory it can get, and should aim to grab any advantage it can, as small as it may be.

Selena realizes that very well. Despite her efforts at sticking to mission goals, the Sector Force's position in the area is still fragile, and the Empire is going strong. She now aims to always go one step beyond the original plan, to always fight for the extra inch, no matter the situation, to ensure the final success of the Alliance.

***Duty : Filling the gaps (1325)***

Selena's drive to accomplish her goals led her to diversify her abilities. She is now a very versatile operative, with the ability to respond to any situation relatively efficiently.

As a result, she prides herself in being able to fulfill any role on any team if necessary, and strives to make sure that missions don't fail due to the absence of a specialist.

Selena is a real beauty, being 5'6'', 38 years old, with attractive features and long blond hair. She is usually clothed with a heavy leather jacket.

Selena has a cybernetic left leg, but it didn't grant her additional kicking or jumping power as it was installed when she was a teenager, and was tuned to match her remaining physical leg. It is a prototype, so difficult to fix. It has recently been upgraded with the strength enhancement system of a Cyberleg Mod II.

Selena is a smart woman, educated due to her upbringing in the higher spheres of Coruscant, and well aware of her charms and social skills. She knows how to handle a gun, but tries to avoid confrontation if possible. She has a temper, likes drinking, and can get grumpy if things don't go her way. She can snap if treated unfairly, or disrespected.

She was an idealist, and tried to let her peaceful ideals lead her decisions, even if that didn't mean much in the Underworld. Nowadays, her philosophy changed. She's always on target, and aims to complete the missions she is given at all costs. Her goal is to allow people all around the Galaxy to live as they see fit, but she doesn't mind getting her hands dirty to achieve that if necessary.
