Profile
Her name is the title of a 1827 novel written by Jean Paul, in which he officially coined the term 'Weltschmerz'. It is a word of German origin composed by 'welt' (meaning world) and 'schmerz' (meaning pain). The definition of Weltschmerz is "mental depression or apathy caused by comparison of the actual state of the world with an ideal state" ... and this itself is what makes this Nytron sad. Seeing the state of the world and it's people, the deforestation, global warming, economic and societal failures. Selina tends to daydream a lot in her 'own little word' - literally, that she created in her mind to help her get away... however once she opens her eyes and snaps back to reality, this nytron is filled with the sadness of the slow collapse of world that had such potential.
