Personality: 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.
History/Bio: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.
