Sela (セラ Sera) is Zyuoh Shark (ジュウオウシャーク Jūō Shāku), the Blue Ranger of the Zyuohgers.
Biography
Back in Zyuland, Sela trained as a martial artist alongside Leo. At one point, the two of them faced-off in a tournament which ended with Sela defeating Leo as a result of him purposely not giving his all against her, thus throwing the fight, due to his belief that the duty of a man is to protect girls and not fight them. Sela would resent Leo for doing this as it rendered her win an empty victory. 
TV STORY-Ep. 4: Howl in the Ring
Along with Leo, Tusk, and Amu, Sela was assigned as a guardian to the Link Cube, which had been left dormant following the taking of one of the six King's Credentials. As such, Sela was entrusted with one of the King's Credentials.
Ultimately, the whereabouts of the lost King's Credential was realized when a young man named Yamato Kazakiri accidentally entered Zyuland. Introducing him to their world, the guardians discovered the King's Credential on his person and initally believed him to be a thief only to be interrupted by a disturbance in the Link Cube. Forced to pursue Yamato when he escaped through Link Cube, the four Zyumen found human world under attack by the Deathgalien, whose team leader Jagged subsequently crippled the Link Cube leaving the Zyumen stranded in the human world. Opposing the Deathgalien, the Zyumen were granted the power to transform into the Zyuohgers when their King's Credentials became the Zyuoh Changers, with Sela becoming Zyuoh Shark. Dispatching the Moeba grunts, the Zyuohgers were outmatched by Jagged until Yamato was able to transform his King's Credential as well, allowing him to become Zyuoh Eagle much to the surprise of the Zyumen, who believed that humans couldn't use their power. After defeating Jagged, Sela as well as the others bar Tusk happily accepted Yamato's offer of a place to live under his protection while in the human world. TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Exciting Animal Land

Notes
- Sela takes her name from " Selachimorpha ", the branch name under which sharks are classified.
- Sela has a couple of notable firsts:
- She is the first female blue ranger since Urara Ozu/MagiBlue.
- This is contingent on counting only the main female blue rangers on official series. Otherwise, there's the two unofficial AkibaBlues Mitsuki Aoyagi and Luna Iwashimizu, the two Kyoryu Cyans Yuko Fukui and Ami-neesan, and Gokai and Transfer Changes that put Luka Millfy, Ahim de Famille, Mio Natsume, or Kagura Izumi in blue suits (their regular powers/colors are yellow for Luka and Mio or pink for Ahim and Kagura).
- She is the first female ranger to have a Shark motif.
- She is the first female blue ranger since Urara Ozu/MagiBlue.
