Salem
Salem is the oldest person alive – when she was a young seamstress, the Empire was still around. In fact, she even witnessed the supposed death of Ani – the shattering of the moon – and, like many, became fearful of divine vengeance. The sole survivor of a lunar meteorite impact, her journey through what is now known as the Frontier corrupted her in more ways than one. Alongside prolonged exposure to Dust over the course of several years, in conjunction to the effects of Grimmification, she was forced to adapt through a series of trials documented in the Cult of Salem’s sacred texts where, ultimately, she single-handedly achieved Tier 3 Semblance, or at least some variation of it (again, varies with each Avanist sect). Prolonged exposure to the Frontier and Dust has also elongated her life indefinitely. Having lived among the Grimm, who strangely revere her as a sort of pack leader, her views of the world have warped and distorted over time, to the point where she rejects her humanity and believes Grimm are the true master race. Her beliefs ultimately escalate into the formation of an underground cult and a conspiracy to topple human civilization in a Second Fall.
