SALEM LEE
GouHFmt.gif

Birthdate : March 25th, 2041
Residence : Christchurch, NZ
Blood-status : Half-blood
Education : HNZ Gryffindor, Class of '60

Wand : Curly 15 Inch Flexible Chestnut Wand with Phoenix Tail Feather Core
CORE : Phoenix tail feathers are not easy to come by. The animal is known for its versatility, making wands with this core useful for wand casters who seek to become good with different types of magic.
WOOD : 'Chestnut Drones' says the old poem - but Chestnut most commonly takes on the attributes of the core that it holds within it - though it may have a unique attraction to those wizards and witches who excel in herbology, taming beasts and flying.

PERSONALITY
Tomboy | Energetic | Flighty | Stubborn | Earnest


Salem grew up a very open child, she doesn't have much of a concept of deceit or a fear of failure and is a vibrant and energetic kid. While open minded, she does struggle a lot when expectations are placed on her without her control, and finds difficulty in defining what she really wants long term. Salem is far more focused on short term goals and her own flights of fancy.

While she's previously led a life a lacking in structure, Salem is now struggling to settle into a more set routine, unsure how to function within the confines of school and daily life. Used to the more flexible nature of her life travelling with her parents, Salem can be quite stubborn when things move in a direction she isn't comfortable with. Conversely, when in charge of her own time, Salem is very non-committal about what activities to pursue, often jumping from task to task as she sees fit. This leads Salem to being something of a jack-of-all trades, she struggles to excel in anything particular.

Not particularly book smart, Salem favours more active or outdoor activities and craves new experiences. With her mothers travelling a lot, she is used to having a new city or culture always on the horizon to explore and looks to fill the void with other new experiences when possible. Salem is also keen to share her hobbies and experiences with others, not shying away from expressing the things she enjoys.

Strengths : Honest, Athletic, Open-Minded
Weaknesses : Non-committal, Gullible, Ungrounded
Likes : Travelling, Rock Collecting, Flower Pressing, Trying New Food
Dislikes : Being stationary, Uncertainty

FAMILY + HISTORY
Coming from a very strict and traditional family, Salem's mother Hye-Jin was determined to break away from them as soon as she was able, leaving them and their high expectations as soon as she was old enough to travel and explore. An artist at heart, Hye-Jin easily fell in love with the vibrant world around her, and eventually in love with Preeda, Salem's other mother, when the pair met in Thailand. Together, they raised Salem as differently from Hye-Jin's restrictive upbringing as possible. Rarely staying put for too long and with little expectations or structure for Salem's early childhood, they travelled expansively, bringing young Salem along to experience the world with little restriction.

Near the end of 2051, Salem's grandmother passed away, causing Salem and her mothers to travel to New Zealand for her funeral and to reconnect with the rest of the estranged Lee family. Spurred by the loss, Salem's parents decided to stay in New Zealand and set down roots, afraid of missing out on what family they had left after her grandmother's loss. Salem's not sure how she feels about this, but she's willing to give the new circumstances a go.

Salem was unsure what to expect after finding out not only was her family staying in New Zealand, but that she would be attending school there as well. It took a lot of adjusting, but Salem was levied by the excitement of so many new things and people. The excitement had somewhat worn off by the second semester, and despite making a few new friends, Salem's unsure how she's going to last six more years without anything new at school.

Salem wasn't all that pleased to realize that her staying at Hogwarts was going to be a more permanent situation but at least she still had one more year left of school with her cousin Tyler, who Salem had enjoyed spending more time with despite his grumpier demeanor at times. Salem tried to stay busy over the year, getting more involved with the Wild Patch, attending Quidditch games, and teaming up with her dormmates to attempt to learn acrobatics like her roommate, Elara, though with mixed success. By the end of the year, Salem was sad to see Tyler leaving the school, but had at least settled in more with the idea that she was stuck her for the rest of her own school career.

THIRD YEAR

Fully settling into her time at school, Salem spent her third year enjoying socializing with her class and housemates. She particularly enjoyed the school events, finding them the more exciting parts of the school calendar compared to her lackluster performance in class and enjoyed attending them with her friends like Natalia, or as it were towards the latter half the year, spending more time with Aubrey. Salem found herself quite taken with Aubrey this year and was grateful that the older girl didn't seem to mind her monopolizing her time at school events and around the common room.

FOURTH YEAR

Salem's fourth year started off with an unexpected but definitely not unwelcome surprise when Aubrey asked her out point blank, indicating she'd liked her for quite sometime and Salem had somehow simply failed too notice. Salem then spent most of the year enjoying spending time with her friends and girlfriend, though this started to change over the Summer holidays. After speaking with a seer at the Inner Eye, Salem was given the unwelcome news that her and Aubrey weren't meant to last. While Salem tried to put it out of her mind, she found it hard to stay as involved with Aubrey as the year ended and the two eventually drifted apart, breaking up over the break with minimal hard feelings.

FIFTH YEAR
tRTLnFp.png

Despite the newfound pressure of her OWLs this year, Salem entered her fifth year with her usual optimism. Things with Aubrey were still a bit awkward but the pair remained friends even if Salem wasn't sure she was quite ready to jump back into dating just yet. She did brave attending a Spin the Bottle game with some of her peers which resulted in her taking Kaia to the Yule Ball, though the two remained only on friendly terms for now.

Glad to put OWLs behind her, Salem spent a quiet sixth year hanging with friends and enjoying her time with the Wild Patch. Having gotten over Aubrey fully, Salem kept an eye out for potential romance, but wasn't quite confident enough to ask anyone out, though she did have a fun time participating with Elara in the three-legged race even if the pair thoroughly lost to the younger students.
