To be honest, the poll makes me distrustful (at least the top 1), Selene has not done anything in 3 years in the manga and in the last poll she barely had 2000 thousand votes, very strange to be honest.

In general, clearly characters like Lucy, Erza, Natsu, Juvia, etc. are much more popular than Selene and you can see that on any social network. It is a little difficult to take the first place seriously considering what I mentioned above.

Maybe most Japanese fans voted for Selene that's why and we all know that the Big 3, Lucy, Erza, and Natsu have a very big fandom. Some just didn't bother to vote.

The thing is

1) I never usually see anyone talk about Selene in any social network.

2) No one makes fan arts of her.

3) No one promoted them to vote for her as if it happened with the other characters.

Even in tournaments that they do on social networks in fairy tail spaces I have seen how Selene loses against characters like Bisca, Lisanna, Mirajane, etc.

Just some examples:

Nobody who was moderately popular would lose to bisca or would even be so little talked about in the fandom. Keep in mind that what I mention is in general even taking into account the Japanese.

The first place is too strange, last time the difference between her and the others (natsu, jellal, wendy, juvia, etc.) was quite minimal considering that that was the time where her character was important. All of this that I mention makes top 1 unreal and very weird.

For real. In reality though, overall, the characters below are more popular than her. Even Mira can beat Selene in popularity. But we can assume that many voted for her this time or used multiple devices to vote. Anyway, We can't do anything about it.
