Selena Deveraux

Selena Deveraux was a witch who was resurrected by Céleste Dubois (who was possessing Serena Laurent's body) using the magical power from the latest Harvest ritual. Along with Céleste, Sevine, and Lauren, she was a major antagonist of the second season of The Inner Circle.

Selena's first appearance was in 1900 as one of the contestants to be a Harvest witch in the the Harvest ritual and she was chosen along with her sister, Sevine, but before the ritual was going to ever begin a huge accident occured in the hands of the Tréme Coven as they were trying an attempt of summoning the phoenix force as they had heard it had been sighted by an unnamed werewolf. Causing this attempt ended up with an explosion which killed most of the members of the Tréme Coven. BUt before being obliterated Sevine and Selena performed a final spell that would ensure that by the next Harvest they would be brought back and with the help of Céleste that was achieved.

In Après Moi, Le Déluge, she is resurrected, along with Papa Tunde and Bastianna Natale after Celeste stole the power of the Harvest, which was supposed to be used to resurrect the Harvest girls. As Genevieve, Bastianna, and Papa Tunde left their graves, Celeste welcomed them back to life and introduced herself to them with a smile.

In Dance Back from the Grave, Genevieve talked to Celeste while they walked through the cemetery. She noted that it hadn't changed at all. She and Clara Summerlin were seen in a flashback to 1919 as their coven welcomed Papa Tunde to New Orleans.

In Crescent City, she went to Rousseau's and gave Papa Tunde's blade to Cami, with a promise that if she made sure that it ended up in Niklaus Mikaelson's heart, the witches would free Kieran from his hex. She also made a deal with Oliver, to arrange to have the non-cursed bayou wolves attack Rebekah during the full moon.

In Long Way Back From Hell, she spent the day torturing Rebekah by using the hallucinations from her multiple werewolf bites to make her revisit her memories from 1919. She also linked Rebekah's mind to Klaus', so he would be able to see Rebekah's betrayal for himself. In flashbacks, it is revealed that Genevieve spent time as a nurse at the Fleur-de-Lis Sanitorium, using herbal witchcraft remedies to soothe the terminal patients during the Influenza epidemic of 1919. During that time Rebekah became friends with Genevieve with the intention of using her to perform a spell to summon Mikael to New Orleans. Then, when Genevieve learned of Rebekah's betrayal, Genevieve wanted to come clean to Klaus, but Rebekah, fearing her brother's wrath, killed her by infecting her with the influenza virus to keep her from telling Klaus the truth.

In, Le Grand Guignol, she and Bastianna attended a meeting arranged by Thierry. The meeting was shown to be a trap, planned by Rebekah and Marcel, in order to kill the witches so they could resurrect Davina and take her with them to run away from Klaus. Distracted by Thierry, Marcel was able to surprise and kill Bastianna. Rebekah attacked Genevieve, but Genevieve used her magic to give Rebekah a migraine. When Marcel tried to defend Rebekah, Genevieve used her magic to set his jacket sleeve on fire, and threatens to kill them both if they don't let her leave. They ultimately left her alone, and she was able to escape unharmed.

In Farewell to Storyville, Genevieve informed Marcel that she had become an Elder of the coven. Genevieve met with Marcel at Jardin Gris when Marcel wanted to make a deal; he promised to stop all executions of witches in the Quarter in exchange for her lowering the boundary spell placed on the cemetery by Céleste to release Rebekah. Genevieve ultimately agreed, on one condition -- Marcel must return Davina Claire to the coven, so she can once again live with her people and be taught how to control her powers. Marcel reluctantly agreed to the deal, and she reversed the boundary spell to release Klaus, Rebekah, and Elijah from the cemetery.

Personality
Compared to her sister, Sevine, her personality seems much more kind and gentle but that doesn't mean she's different as she herself is quite the deceiver in playing the lost, kind, or even timid girl at some times. She is also a great liar and manipulator as seen when she was able to get secrets right through Alaric. ut much like her sister she is fairly considerate of her sister and will always stand with her even if it was the whole world against them as she said to her before they were obliterated in the failed spell attempt.

Physical Appearance
Selena is a beautiful young girl with bright red hair and a slim build. Hodge remarked that she looks a lot like her mother, Jocelyn. Her clothing style is generally simple and conservative, and she dislikes wearing the revealing outfits that Isabelle had her wear on occasion.

Powers and Abilities
Selena was a very powerful witch capable of considerable feats of magic and along with the support of her sister Sevine they both become incredibly powerful and as it revealed that her and Sevine shared a psychic bond which heightens their powers both physically and mentally.

Her pain infliction spells are powerful enough to keep even an ancient and powerful vampire like Rebekah Mikaelson at bay. When she was brought back to life, after Céleste Dubois hijacked the power from the Harvest ritual, she set out to exact her revenge against Rebekah, creating a potion that included an assortment of herbs, Rebekah's werewolf-venom laced blood and her own blood that allowed her to reveal to Klaus Rebekah and Marcel's betrayal.

She was able to hold off Rebekah and Marcel on her own and reverse the boundary spell that Céleste cast on the cemetery. She used enchanted dreamcatchers to spy on Camille and Marcel while they were having sex. She, with Klaus' help, saved Hayley from being killed by Monique's curse. She even cast a spell that allowed her to speak with the Ancestors, begging them to spare Hayley's baby.

Selena was competent enough to combine spells from Esther's Grimoires in order to create enhanced Moonlight Rings under the order of Klaus. She combined the spell that Esther used to enhance her children's speed and strength. During the night of the full moon Sevine used Klaus' blood to bind his strength to the black Kyanite stones that would be used, consequently creating twelve Moonlight Rings that drain Klaus' strength.

Weaknesses
Selena had the typical weaknesses of a witch as well as the fact she is linked to her sister which may risk their lives she has stated before but it what helps their power grow.
