Salwa Al Hajjar
8
3Born in the deserts of Ileriri to the rather influential House Hajjar, Salwa was raised by her parents Earl Mazen and Countess Hanaa Hajjar both witches with ties to the covens of the Kingdom… Even with everything setting her apart from the normal person, since her first formed thoughts, she knew she was different from everyone around her.
Growing up Salwa stayed in the family's estate for most of her youth, the outside world terrifying to her with Salwa's sight often plunging her into living nightmares, it sometimes got so bad that she willingly confined herself to the dungeons plunging herself into complete darkness for hours at a time… This of course concerned her parents and the household and sought to figure out what afflicted the young heiress.
Once the cause was found the household was sworn to utmost secrecy as it turned out Salwa was born with the gifts of a Seer, a rarity to the Hajjar Bloodline. The power of her visions had been too much for the young witch and had bled into her other magic causing an amalgamation that haunted her waking hours, though oddly enough her dreams were always peaceful… As she slowly grew to control her powers one of the solaces she often fell back on was her shadow magic, being one of the only ways to cut off her fits Salwa's connection to the darkness grew deeper over the years.
Eventually, like most secrets Salwa's status as a Seer leaked to the Covens, annoyed at House Hajjar's attempt to hide the knowledge of such a precious resource from them heavily curtailed their influence. With things tense in Ileriri, Mazen, and Hanaa thought it best to send their daughter out of the Kingdom to stay with a family friend until things blew over… And so there she stayed for years until one stormy night her residence was attacked by a mysterious group of cloaked figures, Salwa attempted to fight back but she was overwhelmed and knocked out the last thing she saw before she fell was a burst of brilliant white light.
