The promotional videos also refer to the character as '''Moon''' (Japanese: '''ムーン''' ''Moon''). Promotional videos and trailers for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon refer to her as '''Ailey''' (Japanese: '''コウミ''' ''Koumi''). The GoodSmile Company's page for the [[figma]] Selene figure lists the character as '''Mizuki''' instead, both in English and Japanese, this is contradicted by the actual figure box and [[Pokémon Center (store)|Pokémon Center]]'s listing for the same product. The game's internal data and English website simply refer to Selene as '''HEROINE''' or '''heroine'''.

Selene's known relatives include her [[Mom (Alola)|mother]], and her unnamed father.{{sup/7|USUM}} Selene is native to the [[Kanto]] [[region]] and currently resides in Alola's {{rt|1|alola}} in the [[Hau'oli City]] Outskirts, with her mother and {{p|Meowth}}. [[Professor Kukui]] considers him and Lillie to be Selene's neighbor.<ref>[[Professor Kukui]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}:''"And that's how you met our new neighbor <player>, huh? He/She just got to Alola yesterday. Help him/her find his/her way around, yeah?"''</ref>

Selene is an 11-year-old girl who recently moved from the [[Kanto]] [[region]] to [[Melemele Island]] in the [[Alola]] region. She moved to the region along with her {{al|Mom|mother}}. Selene exclusively appears as a [[player character]].

Selene begins her adventure when [[Professor Kukui]] asks to see her. After grabbing her bag and hat, she walks with the professor to [[Iki Town]] to receive her [[starter Pokémon]] from the island's [[island kahuna|kahuna]], [[Hala]]. Mistaking the young girl for the kahuna, she runs into [[Lillie]], who's {{p|Cosmog}}, [[Nebby]], has escaped her bag and gets attacked by {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Spearow}} on an [[Mahalo Trail|unsteady plank bridge]]. She quickly protects the Pokémon despite not having one of her own. After the bridge collapses, the island's [[guardian deities|guardian deity]], {{p|Tapu Koko}}, saves the two from falling. Selene quickly befriends Lillie and Nebby and the two proceed to walk back to Iki Town for Selene to choose her first Pokémon. After doing so, she gives the [[Sparkling Stone]] to Hala, receives a [[Pokédex]] from the professor, and meets [[Hau]], a [[rival]] who she befriends and has battles with often. The following day, Professor Kukui teaches Selene how to become a proper Trainer. She battles Hau once again and is given a [[Z-Ring]] by Kahuna Hala, officially starting her [[island challenge]]. Professor Kukui then updates her Pokédex to the [[Rotom Pokédex]] with a Pokémon by the name of {{p|Rotom}}, who becomes a new friend and mentor for the young trainer. After Lillie and Kukui describe the functions of Rotom Dex, Hau comes into the Pokémon Research Lab and the three learn more about their [[island challenge]]. Selene then sets out to Alola's {{al|Trainers' School}} with Lillie, who helps helps care for and teach Selene about her Pokémon. Selene gets called to the principal's office (to which Lillie and Rotom jokingly tease her for) and graduates from the school. Selene begins Walking to [[Hau'oli City]] with her new friends, discussing island life and the upcoming city. As soon as they get to the new city, the three explore the island, and Hau drags Selene to the tourist bureau to upgrade Rotom Dex. After which, Selene takes a group picture with Hau and Lillie using the new function. While on her island challenge through Melemele, Selene runs into the troublesome [[Team Skull]], a group of hooligans harassing people and interfering with the island life. She clears her first trial with [[Ilima]] and gets taught how to use [[Z-Move]]s from the professor. After finding Nebby who is lost in [[Melemele Meadow]], Selene defeats Hala in her first grand trial and travels with Lillie, Hau and Kukui to the island of Akala to proceed her island challenge.

At the start of the day, Hau informs Selene of his victory with Hala, and gives her the two remaining Z-Crystals of the starters. Selene is then contacted by [[Looker]] and [[Anabel]] of the [[International Police]], who request her help in catching the Ultra Beasts unleashed into Alola due to Lusamine's actions. Selene agrees to this, successfully catching all the Ultra Beasts roaming around Alola. While learning about the Ultra Beasts, Selene soon finds out that she may be a [[Faller]], a person who has gone through Ultra Wormholes and were bathed in tremendous amounts of Z-Power.

Selene eventually finds her way through the rest of Poni Island, gaining access to a [[Key Stone]] and [[Mega Evolution]] from a revisit with [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]], who she has met in Heahea City. At the end of Poni Island, she encounters the [[Battle Tree]] and meets [[Red (game)|Red]] and [[Blue (game)|Blue]], the Battle Tree's [[Battle Legend]]s.

At Aether Paradise, Selene meets up with Gladion, who is now the acting president of the Aether Foundation. Gladion thanks Selene for her help with his family, especially with Lillie, claiming that Lillie has never smiled so happily since she met Selene. Gladion rewards them with a {{p|Type: Null}}, and says he is looking forward to Alola's strong champion.

Selene begins her adventure immediately after her arrival in Alola, being told to meet [[Professor Kukui]] on Alola's {{rt|1|Alola}}. She meets with the professor on her way to [[Iki Town]] and gets stopped by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Yungoos}}. At this point, three Pokémon, a {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}} and {{p|Popplio}} appear to help the new Trainer out. Kukui allows Selene to pick one of these three to learn the basics of being a trainer. After the commotion, the two leave to Iki Town, and Kukui asks Selene to go find the island [[kahuna]], [[Hala]]. Selene then finds a mysterious young girl, and mistakes her for the kahuna. [[Lillie]]'s {{p|Cosmog}}, [[Nebby]], has escaped her bag and gets attacked by wild {{p|Spearow}} on an [[Mahalo Trail|unsteady plank bridge]]. Selene quickly protects the Pokémon and battles all three Spearow with her newly obtained starter Pokémon. Nebby causes the bridge to collapse, and the island's [[guardian deities|guardian deity]], {{p|Tapu Koko}}, saves the two from falling. Selene quickly befriends Lillie and Nebby and the two proceed to walk back to Iki Town. After doing so, she gives the [[Sparkling Stone]] to Hala, receives a [[Pokédex]] from the professor, and meets [[Hau]], a [[rival]] who she befriends and has battles with often. The following day, Professor Kukui teaches Selene how to become a proper Trainer. She battles Hau once again and is given a [[Z-Power Ring]] by Kahuna Hala, officially starting her [[island challenge]].

During her travels, Selene encounters a group of strange pale people known as the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], who are later revealed to be working with the Aether Foundation. When Lillie and Nebby are kidnapped, Selene follows them and finds out that Lillie's mother Lusamine is seeking to travel to Ultra Recon Squad's home world to stop a Pokémon known as {{p|Necrozma}} before it can threaten Alola. She successfully uses Nebby's powers to travel to this alternate world, leaving Lillie and Selene to figure out how to follow her. They travel to Poni Island and perform a ritual that causes Nebby to evolve into the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}} or Lunala{{sup/7|UM}}. However, before Selene and Lillie can go after Lusamine, she's suddenly thrown out of an Ultra Wormhole before them, followed by Necrozma. Necrozma proceeds to battle and absorb Nebby, before traveling back to Ultra Space. With the Ultra Recon Squad's help, Selene travels to their home world of [[Ultra Megalopolis]], where she defeats Necrozma once again and saves Nebby.

Due to being the player character, Selene is required to pick between {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}} and {{p|Popplio}} as her first partner Pokémon in both Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. In the original Sun and Moon titles, Selene is required to capture [[Nebby]] at [[Poni Island|Poni]]'s altar. A Battle against a wild [[Alolan form|Alolan]] {{p|Exeggutor}} on [[Exeggutor Island]] is required to be fought in the plot but is not required to be captured. In Sun and Moon, Selene is also required to take part in battle against {{p|Tapu Koko}}, while not required to be caught, Lillie will offer unique dialogue upon capturing. In Sun and Moon's post adventure Selene is tasked to capture 5 of the 7 [[Ultra Beast]]s that appear.

In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Lillie with Nebby, will appear on [[Mahalo Trail]] in the post-game, Nebby as either Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}} or Lunala{{sup/7|UM}} will be fought and required to be caught if the event is activated. Selene is required to catch either two {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}} or {{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} under some orders of the [[Ultra Recon Squad]].

Depending on the game, Selene is required to capture some Ultra Beasts
