Selkie is a hyperactive kitsune girl who both looks and talks like she came right out of 2002 era Deviantart. I personally always liked her as a character a lot more than Velouria, but as a unit I've never really had any idea what you're supposed to do with her.

Selkie and Velouria from Conquest are both physically weaker, faster versions of their father. The problem with Selkie is that while Velouria is a weaker and faster version of a unit who's already incredibly tough but struggles slightly with speed, Selkie is a weaker and faster version of a unit who is already a bit too weak and doesn't really need to be any faster. All the problems your avaerage Selkie has are problems Kaden has already, just made worse. With the right mother Selkie can still be a better version of her father, but just by her base growths alone she doesn't really have a lot going for her. For some reason Selkie doesn't get her own Beastrune like Velouria does, so she's going to have to compete with her father for it too, and she's even more in need of it to boost her physical stats and bulk than he is.

If you don't want Selkie to compete with her father for resources, you could always reclass her into something else. Thanks to her 15% base magic growth and potentially having a magical mother she could probably do okay in a mixed class like Basara, although it's hard to see her being anything more than decent. Rinkah's influence has made my Selkie's strength worse while not touching her magic, so maybe I could make her a Basara or an Oni Chieftain? I don't really know what to do with her... More likely than not she'll end up being stuck as a support partner for one of her parents. Sorry, Selkie! Out of all the units in this game you are the one I have the least idea of what to talk about.
