HelpRe: cannot decide

The accent mark on Selene is confusing. I imagine that some readers might misread it as "sel-en-AY"
I think Selina is easier to read, seems less effortful on your part, and I think anyone familiar with the name Selene would recognize the relation.
I think the name Selina Silverwell is perfect for a fantasy witch.
I think using two S names is no big deal. It sort of implies a kind of kinship or similarity or rivalry between characters - and that can be a good thing, even if it's a villain and a protag. If you want them to seem contrasty, maybe change it (the other one, not Selina!)
