Canon[]
Seliph and Julia are two playable characters in Fire Emblem Genealogy of The Holy War. Seliph is Deirdre's first son that she has with her first husband Sigurd. Some time after, she is abducted by Manfroy who also erase her memory, she is found by Arvis and marry with him. With Arvis, Deirdre give birth to two twins Julia and Julius. Seliph is sent to Ishaac for safety by his father and grown up without knowing that he has an half sister. Some time after sending Seliph to Ishaac Sigurd is betrayed and killed by Arvis.
Before the beginning of Seliph's quest, Julius obtain the Loptyr tome and became possessed by Loptyr. He attack his mother and sister. Deirdre die protecting Julia but before dying teleport her away. Julia became amnesiac because of the trauma. She is found by Lewyn who take care of her until meeting Seliph. Seventeen years after Sigurd's death, Seliph became the leader of the liberation army to fight the Empire oppression. After seizing Ganeishire Seliph meet Julia and Lewin in the castle town. Lewin ask Seliph to take Julia on his care and she joins the liberation army.
When the met Seliph and Julia has 490 love points (which is the highest number that two character can have before becoming lover). However they have negative love growth, which mean that they will never wed with each other (except if you use the jealousy bug). If Seliph has conquered Sophara he has a conversation with Julia. In this conversation Seliph give to Julia a Aura tome (that belonged to their mother) that he has found. If Seliph has conquered Ishaac a also have a conversation with Julia. It's almost the same that when Seliph seize Sephora except that instead of Aura it's the Nosferatu tome. In chapter 8 Julia has a special conversation with Seliph, Julia sense Ishtar presence. In chapter 9, after seizing Grutia Julia has a conversation with Seliph. In this conversation she cast a Ward spell upon him to increase his resistance to magic.
At the beginning of chapter 10 Julia is abducted by Manfroy. She regain her memory. In the final chapter Manfroy convince Julius to not kill her and mindcontrol her. She appear on the battlefield to fight the liberation army. She is only free from her mindcontrol when Seliph talk to her after killing Manfroy. They defeat Julius and Seliph became Grannvale king alongside his lover (if he has one). Regardless of who Julia marry she will always stay at the capital watching over her brother.
Fanon[]
Selilia is often a liked pair of sibling. Some fanarts and fanfictions show their life after the war often alongside their lover. Some others show them with Julius (sometime in a AU where he is not possessed) and more rarely with Saias (Seliph's cousin and Julia's half brother on her father side). Many fanarts and fanfictions show them reunited with Sigurd and Deirdre ,more rarely with Julius, Arvis and Saias. Sigurd is portrayed treating Julia like if she was his daughter. Many fanarts show that Julia follows Deirdre footstep while Seliph follows Sigurd's.
A part of the fandom ship them romantically. The persons who want to pair Seliph with Julia use the jelousy glitch to achieve it in-game while others use cheat codes to save themselves the trouble. The main reasons for the Selilia's shippers to ship them romantically is that it can mirror Sigurdeirdre and that Seliph and Julia start with the highest love point base. It's also heavily pushed in the Manga, which many fans use as the canon source for the pairings since it's official media. However due to its incestuous nature it's often hated by the rest of the fandom. The main rivals on Seliph side are SeliLana and Seliph x Tine (who is considered to be a better option to mirror Sigurdeirdre). The main rival on Julia's side is Julia x Scáthach .
Sometime they are portrayed having a small crush before learning that they where related but never going more far. Seliph initial attraction for his half sister is often pointed as a commun point between him and Arvis. Some fans think that Julia and Seliph base love exist to mirror Arvis attraction to Deirdre, and that Seliph manage to avoid his uncle mistakes.
They are also a part of the fandom who made jokes and memes about shipping Julia and Seliph romantically.

Trivia[]
- Despite being brother and sister, Seliph and Julia don't have the siblings bonus. This is likely because the revelation of their shared blood is not until late in the game, and the programming limitations would make it difficult to change their status since they are codded to start with lover points while units that have siblings bonus can't have love points.
- The manga adaptation by Oosawa pairs Seliph and Julia romantically in spite of the sibling relationship.
- In the comedic adaptation Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War Gag Paradise Julia has a one-sided crush on Seliph and is jealous of Lana.
- Since Arvis (Julia's father) is Seliph's half-uncle, Julia and Seliph are also cousins.
