PERSONALITY Boggart: A giant spider with a massive white egg sack on its back. Suddenly the sack explodes and thousands of tiny baby spiders start scurrying everywhere. Mirror of Erised: She'd see herself, flying on a broom across a grassy meadow, then landing at a most quintessential spot of flowers and a little stream where a picnic awaits on a classic white and red checker blanket. A good book, a chilled bottle of crisp white wine and cheese board waiting for her. Perfection. Patronus: Manatee - The feeling she gets when a new book she's been waiting for eventually gets released! She cannot produce a patronus. Salem is a pretty smart individual. There are a lot of things she loves to learn about. She’s got a taste for knowledge and she tries her hardest to learn as much as she can about a subject when it strikes her fancy. She’s often found with a book or two in her bag and she’s always reading in her spare time. She loves nature and will often head outside when she feels the urge to explore, which is quite often when she’s been cooped up all day. Exercise isn’t really her thing but thankfully she has a pretty speedy metabolism because she loves to bake. Like really loves it. The most exercise she gets is walking to a good reading spot, tripping over thin air, or flying. In school she was on the house Quidditch team as seeker and absolutely loved it. Socially Salem is a little … awkward. She never really made making friends a priority and as such her interactions when she first started school were kind of lacking. She got to know her dorm mates slowly over time but that was more because they would initiate conversations. Quite often she won’t know how to strike up a conversation or how to carry it, conversations she initiate will often just fall dead because she has nowhere for it to go. This makes her feel exceedingly awkward and self aware at what a colossal failure she is at socialising. She really needs friends that can chat away for hours, unlike Salem who can only really socialise for short bursts. A couple of hours here, a couple more two weeks later, that kind of thing. At least being quiet meant Salem didn’t really get on anyones nerves. There might be people that think she’s a little strange but because of her quiet nature and shyness she’s never really had people that don’t like her, which is good for her she supposes. Romantically speaking Salem is still entirely innocent. Yep. She’s never even had a boyfriend. She’s had a few snogs here and there, definitely had a gazillion crushes but never gone further than that. I know! She’s a catch, all that awkward, inability to talk to guys while tripping over her own two feet, what’s not to want to sweep off her feet? Well it’s not that guys aren’t interested, there have been a couple of guys to ask her out, but she’s always been too nervous and frightened to just go for it and when asked by friends ‘What the heck!?’ she’s always managed to come up with some excuse. Guys are a real awkward thing for her and she much prefers books, walks, flying, and baking to the company of a guy, but then that could be because she’s never had the company of a guy!

Lyric was born on a mild winters day in the middle of February. Her birth mother, a pureblooded witch, was giving her up for adoption to a kind and happy couple she'd met a few times during her pregnancy. They had one son already and wanted to complete their family with another child. She was able to give them a daughter, a child she'd been calling Lyric through her entire pregnancy. It worked for a boy or a girl and she wanted something sweet and representative of her love of music. Charlie and Manny Rose loved the name enough to give it to their new baby girl as a middle name while her first name became Salem. Once home Salem was doted on by her parents, dressed head to toe in pink and frills that she'd later come to dislike in life. She was their little princess. She had been wanted so desperately for years. Manny in particular spoilt Salem, buying her gifts and treating her to something special every time they went out. Raiden was clearly Charlie's favourite and she would be firm with Salem, expecting her to be the very best that she could be. As a result Salem pulled away, retreating into her shell and finding solace in her books. Her father made her an enchanted little cupboard under the stairs where she would spend hours on end with her nose buried in a book. Her grandmother would visit frequently, teaching her to bake and cook. After being a family of four for a few years, unbelieveable news came to the couple that couldn't have children. Charlie and Manny were expecting a child of their own making. Salem wasn't really aware of what that would mean to her, but she was excited none the less. Then the news came that it was twins and things actually became a little exciting. Salem turned out to be a pretty good big sister. She liked to read to Cordelia and Otis and would often make up stories for the two of them. She was always aware that she had been adopted and that Raiden had been adopted too, but seeing babies grow that looked nothing like her was when the reality really hit. At around age eight, just before the twins turned two, Salem asked her parents some questions of where she came from and why her birth mother hadn't wanted her. It was all explained very well and left her feeling warm and pleased that she'd built up the courage to ask her parents what had been playing on her mind. Raiden went off to Hogwarts and then Salem followed two years later. Her brother was a Gryffindor and she became a Ravenclaw. It wasn't until they were at Hogwarts that Salem realised how protective her big brother was of her. She also realised what a complete moron she was when it came to socialising, but the girls in her dorm never seemed to mind too much, or at least they never said anything. Salem was never any good at reading people, so whatever they told her she'd almost entirely believe. Even though she liked her dorm mates Salem still spent plenty of time alone. She would visit the library and relax with a book until she got restless and then she'd go for a walk, taking to the grounds. She joined the Ravenclaw quidditch team and became seeker after falling in love with flying in her first year. She wasn't the competitive sought in the slightest but being involved in the game helped her feel as though she fit in a little better. It was no surprise to anyone when Salem did exceptionally well in her OWLs and NEWTs. After Hogwarts she bounced around from job to job, never really finding anything that suited her and having the luxury of parents that would help support her through life while she discovered what she wanted to do.
