Selphie the Warmonger

Not that long ago I reread a couple of bits from an arc of Laguna/Squall stories, one of them being a series of little written things from Laguna's POV. One of the tings in it was his disgust at what Garden turns people into - or more specifically how the kids who became SeeDs seem to have had no normal childhood - especially Squall and the others of the "Orphanage Gang". It mentioned specifically that even Selphie - the cheerful one of the lot - was not undamaged.

Now I have seen how Selphie acts in the game, she's cheerful, a bit hyper sometimes (but not as much as fanon would have you believe) and she is a total little warmonger with a thing for blowing stuff up an causing havok.

Thing is, I just found this is not the result of her being in Garden; if you watch the Trabia flashback, Irvine is talking about there being one kid he particularly liked in the orphanage and the scene has the child!Selphie turn to him and ask him if he wants to play, his child-self asks what they're playing and child!Selphie says "WAR!"

So it was in her back then as well.
