Selen Tatsuki

Selen Tatsuki (セレン 龍月) is an English female Virtual YouTuber affiliated with NIJISANJI EN's second-wave group OBSYDIA, alongside Rosemi Lovelock and Petra Gurin.

Profile
A sky dragon descended from the moon. She has a gentle heart hidden underneath her mischievous nature, like the glow of the moon on a cloudy night.

Personality
Selen has an energetic, trickster-type personality. She loves to laugh and to make other people laugh. Selen enjoys messing with people, and is more likely to taunt others rather than brag about herself.

She is especially well-known for her skills in Apex Legends. She has a strong love for gaming in general, especially shooters and retro games.

While she often comes off as loud and chaotic, Selen also has a cute, wholesome side that becomes especially noticable when drawing or making bentos, and has gained a reputation for "gap moe." She's very hardworking and often goes to great lengths to support her fellow EN Livers.

Background
On 30 November 2020, NIJISANJI opened auditions for their new English branch, with the audition period lasting until 15 December. Youtube channels for NIJISANJI EN's second wave were created on 8 July 2021, and their Twitter accounts were also created in July 2021.

NIJISANJI EN's second group, OBSYDIA, was announced on 14 July 2021, accompanied by a short teaser with the new Livers' designs and voices. It was also announced that an original song sang by OBSYDIA, "Black Out", would be released on the same day of their debuts. The song's composition and lyrics were written by TeddyLoid and the lyrics' story was made by Ryushen.

Debut
OBSYDIA began their activities on 18 July 2021 (JST) as part of a special debut program on the NIJISANJI English channel. Selen was the last of the group to debut, with commentary provided by Elira Pendora. Selen's debut stream featured an animated introductory video with remarkable audio production.
