Canon Personality: Word of God is Selendis represents the best and brightest traits of the Protoss Templar: she has an inhuman dedication and loyalty to Protoss ideals (all-encompassing racial unity, furious warrior pride and a willingness to lay one’s life down for the greater good). Selendis is a fierce, no-nonsense woman who thinks that she’s better than everyone else. In a race of honorable psionic warriors, Selendis respects straight-up, face to face combat; but she is willing to lay that aside for what is best for her people overall. Sometimes that means running from a fight; sometimes that means attacking a former ally; and sometimes that means incinerating all life on a planet from orbit.
This is a female who doesn’t trust any human woman because one happened to manipulate the Protoss into a very bad position. One who’s willing to openly politically maneuver another Protoss into doing what she wants. She doesn’t care if you don’t like her, because she thinks she knows what’s best and damnit you will do swallow your pride and do it. She is also generally confused and annoyed by your pointless human mannerisms.
Despite Selendis’ air of superiority and all the ferocity she projects, she is painfully aware that as Executor she has some big shoes to fill; martydom is a tough act to follow. She has a burning desire to see her race retake their homeworld from the enemy to restore the pride and glory of the Protoss--even though all it would really accomplish is regaining a broken world. Luckily, she demonstrates that she has enough self-control to wait for the right time for what would currently be a suicide mission, instead turning her attention to more productive things.
Whatever Selendis does, she does proudly, methodically and openly. If she doesn’t like you, she will remind you at every opportunity--maybe even contradicting you on principal. She is the least insulting and contradictory when you use an honorable method to either defeat her in a fight or otherwise prove her wrong.
Blank Personality: The Protoss seem to generally be indoctrinated into their roles over centuries. There’s a reason their base military unit is “Zealot.” Their honor and ideals were learned in order to unite the race and keep it from annihilating itself. Selendis will always be a fierce, arrogant female with inhuman levels of loyalty and dedication; what’s most likely to change is what she is loyal to and what she considers good and honorable. She also won’t be concerned with how she measures up to the previous Executor’s example.
Likely, Selendis will act more like the Protoss in the times when they were split into warring tribes: protecting and acting in the interest of her team will be more important than anything else, even if that means another team must suffer for it. This may not sound like much of a difference, but to the Protoss, who have achieved psychic unity (known as the Khala); those Protoss who cannot join the unity of the Khala develop in entirely different social and cultural ways. Selendis’ unit will be her tribe.
Since the Protoss naturally turn to telepathic communication (they have no mouths), she will also spend a lot of time being frustrated with all the people who keep up their bracer-provided psychic wards. And she will always, always be confused and annoyed at your pointless human mannerisms.
