- Not to be confused with Clancee's mother.
Selma[1] is a member of the Hypnobrai tribe, the mother of Skales Jr. and the wife of Skales.
History[]
Background[]
Selma was later among the Serpentine that were trapped in the tomb of the Stone Army. As the Serpentine resigned themselves to their new fate underground, they made the tomb their new home. Eventually, Selma married Skales and bore him a child, Skales Jr..
The Curse of the Golden Master[]
When the ninja confronted Skales outside their village in the Tomb of the Stone Army, Selma accepted them, persuading her husband to let them in so they could learn the Curse of the Golden Master. During the Nindroid attack, she attempted to protect her son, only for General Cryptor to trip the latter and mock him. When the ninja held off Cryptor, she was able to unite with her son and escort him to safety.
The Tall Tale of Clancee (non-canon)[]
As a child, Clancee was briefly under the care of Selma, who hugged him and then watched with love as he rolled down the hall in his stroller.
Appearance[]

Trivia[]
- She is one of the only seven known female Serpentine, the other six being Rivett, Machia, Aspheera, Mikloshe, SsssSsss Underwood and Hantro.
- According to Tommy Andreasen, there were female Serpentine among the group during the first two seasons of Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu, but it's unknown if Selma is considered one of them, as she was not seen in these seasons.[2]
- She uses the same design as Mezmo, but is pink in color.
- Selma is voiced by Jillian Michaels, who voiced two other mothers in the series: Edna, the mother of Jay; and Maya, the mother of Kai and Nya.
- She is the first Serpentine with jewelry. Presumably she got it from one of the Serpentine's trips to the surface.
- Aspheera is the second, although chronologically, Aspheera is the first.
- Along with Zoltar, Clancee, and all Serpentine introduced in Ninjago: Dragons Rising, she is one of the Serpentine whose name is not a pun or word play on anything.
- Additionally, none of them appeared in Rise of the Snakes.
- Tommy Andreasen suggested her name could be Slitherella,[3] presumably unaware that she had been named in the credits.
- The soundtrack for her and Skales Jr.'s introduction scene is called "Meet the Scales."[4] This would imply her last name is "Scale" or "Scales."
- In Chapter 6 of The Splinter in the Blind Man's Eye, it's revealed that Clancee's mother abandoned Clancee before he hatched but Selma is seen taking care of him in "The Tall Tale of Clancee", meaning she was not his mother but his baby-sitter or adoptive mother.
- Despite being a Hypnobrai, her skin color is mainly pink instead of blue, which is also the case with Underwood, Hantro and Delphee's mother.
