Selena is a bright young woman who takes her education seriously and revels in the chance to expose herself to culture and learning. In other words, she's a tool. But a well-meaning tool. She lives across the hall from Micki and Gemma; she likes Micki and can't stand Gemma, and the feeling is, in both cases, mutual.

Gifted with a beautiful voice, Selena has joined 23 Skidoo, a distinguished campus a capella group and one of Smithson's oldest traditions. She's beginning to learn that 23 Skidoo is much more than just a women's choir, and that membership confers both great power and unspeakable risks. Speaking of unspeakable, Selena is currently carrying out the vow of silence traditional for 23 Skidoo initiates, so she doesn't talk much these days.
