{ SALEM WINKS } Spear. No one really knows her real name, Salem Winks, she's never bothered to say it and she's never gotten close enough to anyone for them to know. But obviously, Spear would be an alias, apart of the infamous weapon-based group; “the arsenal” As previously stated, her alias would be Spear. No one refers to her as anything else other than the weapon in which she wields. Female/unlabeled Doesn’t care for pronouns/doesn't care what you use for them but would rather not be addressed in masculine formality. Again, unlabeled. Never cared for romance or romantic relations. Relations in general. But she's not necessarily against new things if they’re worth her time. 19-24 Born in the US but is descended from the philippines along with france. [ 50%, 50% ] Spear has slightly tanned yet fair skin, smooth and clear but despite this, she does have her occasional stress breakouts as one does. Spear rocks wavy light-blonde/dirty blonde hair that flows gently past her elbows, in a slight side part with lots of volume. She had low, oval shaped, thin framed black glasses. Her eyebrows are thin and a dark brown, sporting the nineties brow trend. Her eyes are a dark, coffee brown with a gorgeous set of full lashes, dark brown though the brown is only noticeable when up close. She has somewhat of a button nose and a natural blush, her lips are plump and full, with a very subtle cupid's bow opposed to a prominent one. She stands at about 5’6”-5’7. As for attire, lots of black, tight dresses. Drawstring. Sweater. Mini. You name it, most have lone sleeves that have a thumb hole or no sleeves at all with straps instead, normally wearing long black gloves, fingerless. When she’s not in this attire she can be spotted in, once again, all black. Black sweatpants and a black compression shirt, black leggings and a black zip up. Anything black, really. Says she looks best like that. Spear works hard to maintain a clean, sleek appearance, putting lots of effort into her hair, skin and makeup. Most would assume that based on her personality she would be extremely opposed to the idea of wearing makeup, doing skincare and having a long list of hair products but if you think about it, it makes sense, considering how sophisticated and classy she acts. And, since she's a germaphobe. Has a tattoo along her collarbone of her spear, with a purple vein of electricity wrapping around it, and a tattoo on her lower spine area of a gorgeous luna moth. Spear is an extremely closed person, intelligent and finds herself above speaking of futile subjects. She’s very observant though does let her ego get to her sometimes, judgmental. She’s elegant, classy and such, which is reflected in her movement with her weapons. She enjoys the occasional challenge of new things and environments, after all, nothing is fun when you can get it done within seconds. Spear presents herself in such a way that one would question her morals. She’s extremely straightforward; blunt, and opinionated, not afraid to speak on matters that could get her in trouble. Despite everything, though, she has extreme difficulty understanding social cues and such, along with reading the tone of others, taking things too literally or seriously. Doesn't understand jokes..you'll have to explain them to her to laugh. She tends to pick up on sarcasm easier now, though. She tends to be calm and collected as her appearance may intel, although she has her manic times where she may snap and a lust for violence is visible. Literally goes insane at times and does need to be locked up. Likely has a lot of mental issues resulting from a poor adolescence experience. Some form of bipolar depression and/or BPD, along with a tamer form of psychosis. [ schizophrenia ] Has come to terms with her problems, though, and now lives as one with them. Doesn't talk about it too much but may occasionally give a little "I cant hear you right now they're being too loud." as a hint towards the voices occurring in her head at the same time as someone may try to speak with her. Finds it easier to shut them up through art, surprisingly. Her art can be extremely disturbing, gruesome, gorey and more importantly horrifying. The voices would ask her to draw them, and she would, letting her body take over and draw how she imagined them. Each was worse than before, disoriented shadow-like figures with bulging heads, large smiles and crazed eyes, wrinkly faces shriveling up. As she does this she could be heard laughing quietly to herself, laughing along with the voices that kept her company. Some may claim she's insane, but she prefers the term "interesting," instead. As her alias suggests, spear wields not one, but two double-headed spears as seen in the reference photo, having them specially made. The two weapons also act in ways as a boomerang would. Fluent in French, as for Filipino....only really knows Tagalog
Spear's Backstory --- She was essentially abandoned by her biological family, left in the hands of a family friend who raised her but later ended up dying from a god awful case of TB, with no one or no where to go to, she found shelter within the members of what's now the arsenal. Never really had a social life or anything, attended school and graduated or whatever, but rarely spoke with others. She actually used to ignore people who tried to speak with her, found the silly little elementary-level topics they discussed to be childish. Politics. Religion. Gossip. She found it all to be so stupid. Likely met the group in her early teens, or at least one of the members before the Arsenal was formed. She was bullied throughout her childhood for being quiet and since everyone knew that her family wasn't her actual one. The son of the family would often go around talking down about her, blabbing about how he wasn't even related to her and how she was basically just the family's pet. He was the only one to not die from TB, but instead by her own hands, later on. She was extremely traumatized throughout her early years, witnessing many deaths without realizing it at first, watching as each person she actually cared about slowly met the same fate. It was awful. She gets extremely sensitive about it now, and often breaks down when anything even slightly related to it is mentioned, hence why she doesn't talk about it. ----- ❝ тнє ѕℓιgнтєѕт мιѕтαкє ¢συℓ∂ яєѕυℓт ιη ∂єαтн. ιƒ уσυ αяє тнє мιѕтαкє, ι'∂ ѕυggєѕт яι∂∂ιηg σƒ уσυяѕєℓƒ вєƒσяє ѕσмєσηє єℓѕє ∂σєѕ . ❞ flag to see visual references { "THE ARSENAL" } Marion "Arrow" Feng ; [ to be made ] Shuriken "Shuri" Vargas ; https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/967683937/ Salem "Spear" Winks ; [ you are here ] ???
