Selene is a fairly diligent individual. She's very committed to her independent studies and always just wants to know more. She's fascinated by the paranormal and unknown. All of her free time goes into her studies, she'd give just about anything to know all the answers.
Selene is fairly introverted, only really talking to those she's close with. She's sarcastic and often lightly bullies her friends. Because of her blunt nature, Selene often finds it difficult to make connections with people. That and most people don't care for her constant infodumping about aliens and ghosts when she finally opens up. Selene often just clams up around new people knowing her history with eye-rolls and annoyed grumbles.
She's also sentimental. She loves her family and her grandfather and their heritage, even though her dad tells her to hide it. She can be a proud individual, but she still gets embarrassed over what she loves.

Abuelo Marco:
Selene loves her grandfather dearly. He can only speak Spanish, never learned a lick of English in his life and he thinks he's too old to try. She loves to sit on the couch with him and watch telenovelas or help him make Cuban tamales using her late Abuela's recipe. Marco is always trying to get her to see that her "ghost hunting" hobby isn't something she can make money off of. He just wants the best for her, he wants her to go off to college and get a good degree and earn the opportunities he immigrated over for.
