Name: Selma Selander
Rank: Major
Alliance: Lanlania (Lagrain Union)
Birthplace: Rylmark
Age: 40
Sex: Pink Haro
Appearance:
Selma is a Lanlanian from Rylmark with dusty brown hair and brown eyes, a squarer jaw with more angular features, and a little bit of that tanned thing going on. Standing at about 5'7", she's heavier than most and somewhat rectangular in figure, never seeming to lose enough body fat to garner that "athletic" build that would really show off her broader muscles.
When you fall off a cliff, she's the person you want holding onto your rope at the other end.
Professionally she wears a standard Lanlanian officer's flight uniform, preferring the boots and pants instead of skirts and flats. When out of uniform but still working, she wears much the same style, sticking with pinstripe or navy pantsuits and ties and comfortable dark flats for all-day wear; you might catch her in a suitcoat, skirt and heels for particularly important events, but don't count on it too much. Outside of work you might catch her in a patchy pair of jeans and sunhat for working on the garden, or simple dark athletic wear while working out; if not doing either of these two things, she aims for light colors and simple lines, fashionable yet comfortable, and always in pants.
Personality:
Selma doesn't exactly put herself front and center in a crowd and will leave such showboating to more energetic and wordy people. She will dutifully make conversation to suss your interests and find something worth discussing, but you can otherwise expect very little in the way of small talk. If she does have something worth saying, you can expect her to speak strong and proud about it: she knows she smart, and she knows she's right, and she's been doing this too long to care about your masculine insecurities about it.
She isn't quiet, though. She has a habit of speaking while she works, or making observations - to herself, mostly - of seemingly mundane things. Ask her to explain a topic, and you'll get the encyclopedia; don't ask her anything, and you're still likely to get a snide remark when you do or say something that makes no gottdang sense. Don't take it personally, she's just quite humored by it.
Someone asked her what she does for fun, once. She replied that she goes to work. Her bookshelf at home is full of physics journals, the contents of which she mulls over while absently tending to her garden, or while rock climbing with 50 lbs of gear, or while kicking the snot out of heavy bags in her training room. She forgot about plans to have children somewhere along the way, something she regards, in hindsight, as no great loss.
Biography:
Selma was born into the Great War as the daughter of solders, prior to the full invasion of Lanlania, and her childhood was defined by the post-war rebuilding of the country. Thankfully she didn't lose either her mother or father - which is much more than she could say for many other children of soldiers - and she grew up with a rather happy childhood in the west of Lanlania following the war, which had survived much more intact than the east. She took a shine to the sciences in school, especially with the push into space and the great megastructures to follow.
Lacking many avenues to higher education despite her skill and still faithful to her military upbringing, she joined a rebuilding Lanlanian military as a means towards higher education; eager to expand and especially please to have those with scientific skills in this new era, and earned her education as part of a cadet service corps while studying Broda Physics. Unfortunately, this new post-war age wasn't any more peaceful than the pre-war age, and she saw herself on assignment to Krinis near the end of that conflict between the LU and HPA. She earned her piloting wings after that war, following her parents into the cockpits of mobile weapons.
But piloting was only a small part of her tasks. With her interests and skills, she became part of a small Union task force to apply new and experimental sciences to practical military uses, and when the Union came late to the mobile suit design party, she jumped at the chance to join when it was offered as an assignment. Finally applying her most precious area of study, she became part of the team that developed the new technologies required to make mobile suits a reality, and used..."other skills" to acquire the schematics necessary to advance their research in places and ways less than safe or official. As the project neared completion, she was assigned back to Lanlania, serving the country in integrating the new MS-02 Hjolrun into its arsenal.
