[color=6ecff6][b]Currently Residing:[/b][/color] New York, New York. [color=6ecff6][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Salem is what is considered to be a fearless leader. The kind of woman who can look death in the eye and not flinch. At least that's what you would think by looking at her. In reality, there is so much more to her. From an early age, Salem was raised to be a leader - nothing more, nothing less. This has stuck with her. She makes the hardest decisions, and seems to do it with ease. Like her father, Salem is proud and takes pride in what she does. And, like her mother, can have a short temperament at times. However, despite her similarities with the her parents, Salem is reserved, always have said to keep her feelings under lock and key. In fact, so reserved, it is said, by some, that the girl is not able to feel emotion at all. However, Salem is a girl with a witty comeback for just about anything. If it comes off rude, well, you'll just have to decipher if it truly is or not. She is also very head strong and independent, always believing that she knows what is best for herself and others. She hates to be seen as a damsel in distress and will always try to do things on her own. Despite her temper - which sometimes does get out of hand - she is calm, cool, and calculated. Mess with the people she cares for (aka, the Guild) and expect some for of well calculated revenge coming your way. Despite being your typical, fearless leader prototype, you have to understand that what Salem does is for the good of her people - The magical users and the humans alike. Every law that she comes up with, or has to alter, is intended to make the world better as a whole, and bring everyone into a state of unity. She realizes that some people may think that she only got the position of leader due to her parents connections and such, and thus, she is on the path to prove herself. [color=6ecff6][b]History/Bio:[/b][/color]Salem was born and raised in Atlanta until the age of five. That was when her parents decided to pack up and move to New York, as to be closer to the Guild. Salem was a smart child, and knew that her parents were well connected, her father always having hushed meetings in the other room. However, what she didn't know was what these connections or meetings were. When they arrived in New York, Salem was told about her heritage. Her name held power, the de Silva line being one of the strongest to date. Many of her ancestors had been Leaders of the Guild, and held other ranks of power within the allegiance. Just like any other child, she would go to school and learn. When she came home, her father trained her to fight in the families basement, while her mother told her bedtime stories of their people. Her home life was like that of any other child - minus the magical ability and teachings. Her father was a lawyer, her mother a doctor. Together they were two of the Guilds biggest contributors. Her mother was a Captain, and her father second in command. Her grandfather was the Leader of the Guild, and just like her parents, groomed her to be a warrior. She was a recruit of the guild at the age of thirteen, and a member at the age of fifteen. They taught her to be proud of who she was, but to be kind to those who did not have special abilities or marks such as she. When she was twelve, her grandfather died, and her father rose to power. At the age of 19, she became fully aware of the Dark Shadow allegiance and their intentions. Shortly there after, the battle between them and the Dark Shadows leader broke out. Her father was killed in the battle, something she has been burning to get revenge for. There was a slight uproar in the Guild. Someone so young should not be allowed in a place of power. This was when her battle to prove her worth truly began. The officials of the Guild decided that there would be a test of sorts. She was given three different situations in which she had to come up with three different laws to make peace. After she passed this, there was a battle of force, to see how she would do in war. The greatest of the guilds warriors fought her, and she fought back even more fiercely than they. It was only then did the Guild accept her as their rightful leader. However, that has not stopped there from being more challenges that she has had to face. She has been met with difficult decisions. Having humanities fate rest upon your shoulders is not an easy weight to bear. The older members of the Guild still watch her with a close eye, trying to find any weakness.

His mother and her secretary dictate his every move - I'm surprised he doesn't have to ask for permission to wipe his own ass. No wonder he is the way that he is. Violent thoughts are the only ones he can come up with independently."[/color][/i] Salem has, nor ever will, forgive Aloysius for her fathers death. The day he started the war against the Guild, many lives were lost, but her fathers was the one that hit her the hardest, by far. Deep down, - very, very, very deep down - Salem has a strange sense of respect for the man. He does what he thinks is best for humanity, such as she. That doesn't mean that his intentions are good. The young woman will not rest until she has his head.

The only real reason that the young woman has to dislike Circe is because of her loyalty to the Dark Shadow.

I think she is the most stable of them all. Even I can let my temper get out of hand sometimes. Out of all of Als lapdogs, I believe that she is the one that I might be able to join our cause. However, her loyalty runs deep, so we shall see. I have to admit... I do like her hair though."[/i][/color] Salem neither likes nor dislikes Lana. Like any other person with magical capabilities, Salem finds her to be a formidable enemy.[/center] [center][b][color=6ecff6]Name:[/color][/b] Aliira Drauga [b][color=6ecff6]Relationship[/color] (Bold as needed):[/b] - Best Friends - Warm - [b]Characters opinion of them:[/b] [color=6ecff6][i]"My darling, darling little Li. Where would I be without you?"[/i][/color] Salem has a strong bond with her second in command. Aliira's family has protected hers for many years, and that is something that Salem has a deep appreciation for. Salem has leaned on the older woman more times than she can count, and Aliira has done the same. Aliira is powerful, pure hearted and good natured. Her smile can warm Salems heart, and honestly, she doesn't know what she would do if she lost Li.

She knows that his mental health is not the best, and he is constantly at war with himself. She knows that he doesn't need her protection, and can more than handle himself, but that doesn't stop her from wishing that she could heal his broken mind. However, Salem despite wanting to protect him, Salem keeps a fair amount of emotional distance between them. She knows that he could snap at any moment, and that wouldn't be a great thing.

I've thought about apologizing quiet a few times, but it seems like everyone I get close to doing, he flies off the handle again."[/color] Salem and David have a strained relationship at best. She finds him to be a pest, but puts up with him due to Alira. One time she caught him sneaking in her office and beat the living Hell out if him publicly. She doesn't regret this decision.
