xxxxx⇾Gᴇɴᴛʟᴇ:
Behind their spooky exterior, Salem has a gentle hand with all living things. Patient and supportive, they have always erred on the softer side of life.
“Horror is about facing the deepest, darkest parts of someone, and recognizing beauty and love within them anyways.”-- At least, Salem likes this sentiment, and would like to live by it. They’re not really old enough to know what living by it means yet though.

xxxxx⇾Lᴏʏᴀʟ:
"Loyal to a fault" is a pretty accurate description for Salem. Once they have latched on to a person or ideal, it takes a heck of a lot to sway them from their path. Sometimes the thing they're most loyal to, however, is their own code of ethics, misguided as it may occasionally be.

xxxxx⇾Aᴅᴀᴘᴛᴀʙʟᴇ:
Change comes super easily to Salem. Between changing environments or even just outfits, nothing really sways them. Of course, growing up in increasingly weird circumstances can do that.

xxxxx⇾Sᴏғᴛ-Sᴘᴏᴋᴇɴ:
“Really, I just don’t know what to say most of the time.” Salem tends to be quiet in groups. They’re not against talking, but they know they tend to overthink and get confused, so especially around other people they’ll stick to sitting back and chuckling along.

xxxxx⇾Sᴛᴜᴅɪᴏᴜs:
Being raised in part by their Grandma Tami, Salem has learned a lot about learning how to learn and learning how to study from her. Salem is prepared and willing to work hard to learn, and is always open to learning more about themself (even if it sometimes scares them).

xxxxx⇾Eɴɪɢᴍᴀᴛɪᴄ:
Salem is a mystery to those that haven't taken time to get to know them. It's incredibly hard to get into their inner circle, specifically without knowing their quirks and mannerisms. Once those are learned, the mystery starts to unravel.

xxx𝒮𝓉𝓇𝑒𝓃𝑔𝓉𝒽𝓈xxx
xxxxx⇾ Unflinching– Salem has always had a very strong stomach for things traditionally considered “gross” or unsettling.
xxxxx⇾ Always willing to consider other perspectives

xxx𝒲𝑒𝒶𝓀𝓃𝑒𝓈𝓈𝑒𝓈xxx
xxxxx⇾ Easily confused. Just. What? Information that's overwhelming can lose Salem's attention and cause them to lose track.
xxxxx⇾ Insecure and often second guesses themselves.

xxx𝒟𝑒𝓈𝒾𝓇𝑒𝓈xxx
xxxxx⇾ To one day pass along the family name to a daughter
xxxxx⇾ To maybe write mystery books?

xxx𝐹𝑒𝒶𝓇𝓈xxx
xxxxx⇾Rejection. Being alone is unnerving, and Salem was frightened when their uncles were injured, but the prospect of the family turning them away was even more frightening.
xxxxx⇾Losing their magic. Boys have bever had magic in the Forne line, and accidental magic has never happened while they are feeling more masculine. They worry constantly that they lost their magic when they’re a boy.

Salem was born to the noble and longstanding Forne family. Her family was descended from one of the witches in the Salem Witch Trials (how Salem got their name, of course), though rumor and family legend suggested their lineage started far sooner. When put on trial, the accused (and literal, Salem should assume) put forth a promise that every woman in the family who should bear the Forne title should become a witch as well. She also claimed her thirteenth granddaughter should be the next to see through to the future.

Luckily (or unfortunately, depending) the thirteenth granddaughter of the family was Salem. Much like the other women of the family, they discovered their magical ability early on, and were able to begin their magical lessons. Normally these would be taught mother to daughter, however, shortly after realizing their ability, Salem's mom tragically passed away due to an illness. It really affected Salem's sunshiny nature, put a dampener on their spirit. Luckily, grandma Tami moved all the way from their family home in New Jersey, USA to London and stepped in to raise Salem, never letting the family's past affect her granddaughter. Ever since then, Salem's been at the epicenter of some strange occurrences. The family, of course, believed this to just be early magic for a mostly untrained child, but Salem always thought there was something weird. It wasn't until they were ten that Salem realized their magic power seemed to fluctuate on days they felt more boyish, versus those they felt feminine. Of course, they didn't dare to mention this to anyone.

A few months later, Salem was gifted a letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After a long talk with Grandma Tami, Salem decided to accept the offer and become the first in the family to go somewhere other than Salem Institute. Besides, their mom wouldn't have moved all the way to England unless she had wanted Salem to go... right?

Salem struggled to make friends, though that was probably since she hid out in the library with her grandma... a lot. She spent time studying, but mostly catching up on cool books. It wasn't much to show of herself, but she was happy enough.
