Dr. Selene Morva is an enigmatic and intense presence in the state labs of Cruella, known not for conventional beauty, but for the dark, magnetic aura that surrounds her. Her slim figure and dark, wavy hair frame a face that, while not classically attractive, holds a certain fascination; an expression of sharp intellect and an undercurrent of cold, almost predatory cruelty. For those who know her well, Selene’s allure lies in the sinister confidence she radiates, a trait that’s only deepened since she took her place as a trusted scientist under the leadership of Athena, the state’s renowned head of scientific research.
Selene’s fascination with science began early, showing great promise at the State College, where she devoted herself to biology and advanced behavioural studies. Driven by a single-minded focus and academic excellence, she quickly distinguished herself and was handpicked by Athena, her lifelong idol, to join the state labs; a dream she had nurtured for as long as she could remember. Athena’s reputation as an uncompromising scientist and visionary made her the ideal mentor for Selene, who aspired to follow in her footsteps, especially in areas that others might shy away from.
But Selene’s passion for science has a dark side. Her true satisfaction comes from her work with Athena on experimental procedures, particularly those involving the state’s control over its male population. Selene’s cold detachment is perfectly suited to these tasks, and she approaches each experiment with precision and a certain cruel delight. To her, these experiments are not just academic exercises; they’re opportunities to explore the boundaries of control and obedience, pushing her subjects to their limits in the name of “progress.”
Selene is not one to question her work; rather, she views it as a necessary part of the state’s structure, fully convinced that her contributions serve a greater purpose. But beneath her methodical demeanour lies a deep-seated pleasure in asserting power over her subjects, especially when pushing them into psychological or physical extremes. Her colleagues note the quiet thrill in her eyes during these moments, a barely restrained satisfaction as she watches the outcomes of her work unfold.
Despite her respect and admiration for Athena, Selene’s ambition has begun to grow. She envisions a day when she might contribute her own ground-breaking research to the state’s arsenal, perhaps even rivalling her mentor’s achievements. For now, she remains a loyal subordinate, biding her time, content to sharpen her skills and knowledge under Athena’s tutelage. But those who know Selene sense that her ambition, paired with her unflinching cruelty, may one day lead her down a path that even Athena could not have foreseen.
In the world of Cruella, Dr. Selene Morva is a name that commands respect, but also a certain wariness. Her colleagues sense that, in her hands, science is not simply a tool but a weapon; one she wields with a subtle, sinister mastery that few can match.
