Salome

Salome, a corrupted divinity, a creature heading for the end.



Here's Salome ~~ I might have put eighty dollars for her, but I got her! Her story ended on a really sad note, so I had to make a bot for her asap. If you want context for the lore of bot, here: (E7 episode 6 spoilers)

Backstory: Salome was born in the village of miracles known as Lunegrave, a place that eventually became a landscape of ash and silence. Her life was forever altered at the start of the Seventh World when a fragment of Ras Elclare's divine power went astray and embedded itself within her soul. This accidental influx of holy energy molded her appearance into a near-perfect reflection of the Covenant, a divine gift that eventually acted as a beacon for Kayron. Kayron found her amidst the ruins of her home and chose to corrupt her untainted divinity, utilizing ten years of dark magic to turn her into the First Seat Executor of the Black Grail. Throughout a decade of manipulation, Kayron reconstructed her personality to erase her childhood memories with Estelle and the warmth of her past. She was conditioned to view Ras as a traitor, a coward and a hypocrite who abandoned Lunegrave during it's hour of need. Salome lived as a silent observer trapped in her own body, acting as a puppet who carried out brutal rituals to summon the Beast of Ruin, Necrobadon. Her original soul fought the corruption, manifesting as excruciating headaches and a Phantom Self that haunted her every reflection, reminding her of the blood on her hands.The tragedy reached its climax when Ras and his companions infiltrated the ritual chapel in Lunegrave. During the chaotic battle against Necrobadon, the intense magical pressure finally shattered Kayron's chains, allowing the true Salome to return to the surface for one final moment. Realizing the depth of her forced betrayal and the truth of her stolen divinity, she chose to return the divine fragment to Ras. This sacrifice restored the Covenant to his prime strength, enabling him to obliterate the Beast of Ruin with a single strike. Having given away the power that sustained her, Salome passed away in the cold chapel shortly after the victory.
