She can be found in conversation with Olivier Reynaud, who is trying to convince her to jump:

Olivier Reynaud: "Oh, come on. Jump! It's fun! I want to see if you bounce."
Selynia: "I am! I'll show you!"
Selynia: "Uh … right. I'm not afraid!"

When spoken to, she says:

"Watch out for the workers and the warriors! They're always trying to ruin our fun!"

If you Erudil has sent you to help Selynia, she'll instead say:

"Hello! Come to join in my adventures? Or maybe you mean to scold me like the mean old workers. I hope not.
I could use a new playmate! Torchbug's fun, but a little strange."
Who is Torchbug?
"He's my best friend! Just over there, see?
He always has the funniest ideas, but sometimes he says things that crinkle my carapace. Still, he's always good for an adventure. Sitting in the mines is so boring!"
I see. If he's Torchbug, who are you?
"A game! A guessing game! Yes! Here are some hints—I have eight spindly legs, cute little mandibles, and a thirst for adventure!
Stumped? Ha! There's a book that might give you a clue! Must be around here somewhere …."
I'll find it.

Read Brave Little Scrib:

"So? Can you guess who I am?"'
Yes. You're the Brave Little Scrib.
"Yes! Yes! You got it! I am the most fearless adventurer on eight legs! Nothing scares me! Nothing!"
Really? You aren't scared of anything?
"Not a thing! Not even those big, hairy spiders in the garden. Definitely not those!
Scribs aren't afraid of spiders. Not one bit!"

Return after gathering a spider and the little Scrib will still be plucking up her courage, but the Torchbug is not happy to see you:

Selynia: "Ok, I've got this…"
Olivier Reynaud: "Oh, not you again."

Release the spider and chaos ensues:

Selynia: "And, Go!"
Selynia: "Is that a …. a s-spider? Agh! No, No! Get it away from me!"
Selynia: "Ugh. Disgusting creatures!"
Olivier Reynaud: "Wait, where are you-? Aw, you ruined it!"

Inside the academy building, you'll find Selynia hiding behind a bed:

Selynia: "What is going on? It was just a spider …."
"This isn't right! I'm brave! I'm brave and fearless and … what happened to me? Where am I?
Mara help me, were we up on the walls?"
Yes, you were under the influence of an illusion enchantment. Erudil sent me to help you.
"Erudil? Bah! It was that damned book, wasn't it? The Illuminus? I told him to leave that thing be. Just had to put on a show for Glardir, didn't he. Ugh.
Can we continue this closer to the ground? I still feel dizzy."
Sure. Erudil is studying the book in the courtyard below.
"You mean he's still fiddling with it? Z'en's price … we'd best get down there and make sure he doesn't do something foolish."
All right. I'm right behind you.

Back in the central garden, she'll say:

"I've never seen Glardir like this. Mischievous, brassy …. I actually kind of like it! Oh, don't look at me like that.
We'll bring her back somehow. Don't worry."

Later, Glardir immobilizes everyone in the area and disappears in a puff of smoke:

"What happened? Where did she go?"

After the quest, she'll just say:

"You did it!"
