Description
Selena Berg, eldest daughter of the Berg noble family in the Sorcier Kingdom, was engaged in childhood to Prince Ian Stuart, the kingdom's second prince. This arrangement followed her early magical manifestation at age nine. Yet her magic plateaued at average levels and her academic performance remained unremarkable, breeding deep inadequacy and low self-esteem. She constantly measured herself unfavorably against noblewomen like Suzanna Randall, Catarina Claes, and Mary Hunt, reinforcing her conviction of unworthiness for Ian. His reserved nature—rarely initiating personal interactions—intensified her perception of his disinterest or rejection.
Desperate to prove her value, Selena fell under the manipulation of Rufus Brode (alias Sora Smith), a butler secretly serving antagonist Mason. Guided by Rufus, she orchestrated Catarina Claes’s kidnapping during the Magic Academy’s School Festival. The plot aimed to pressure Prince Geordo into renouncing his throne claim, securing Ian’s succession. Though complicit, Selena ensured Catarina’s comfort in captivity, revealing her inherent gentleness. A pivotal conversation with Catarina then challenged Selena’s passive stance toward her insecurities. Catarina urged her to directly confront Ian about his feelings, prompting Selena’s tearful confession of her fears. Catarina’s offer of friendship became the catalyst for Selena’s transformation.
Post-kidnapping, Selena avoided punishment, and her engagement endured. Ian explicitly affirmed his genuine care, dissolving her longstanding doubts. This validation ignited Selena’s newfound confidence and self-worth. Her growth manifested later when she proactively aided Catarina in protecting another character from danger, demonstrating resilience and kindness. Her bond with Ian evolved into one of mutual affection, distinct from typical political noble engagements.
Inherently gentle, quiet, and thoughtful, Selena’s initial low self-esteem rendered her socially inconspicuous. She diligently studied languages and prized loyalty—exemplified when she shielded Rufus’s role in the kidnapping, citing gratitude for his past service despite her own culpability. Parallels to Catarina Claes—both brown-haired duchesses engaged to blonde princes and deemed unsuitable due to weak magic—contextualized Selena’s struggles within the noble societal framework.
