When lives are at stake Autumn doesn't waste a second, pulling out her field surgery kit she proceeds to work on her patient's wounds with such efficiency it'd make a seasoned military field surgeon blush - though while efficient, her work isn't pleasant to look at.
"I'm not a bloody cosmetologist mate, when I see somebodies life hanging on by a hair-thin thread I quite frankly couldn't care less how hideous they might think my stitches look when they're done healing, they can thank me later for still being able to draw breath."

The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).

Whisper of life
Not every prayer is spoken loud enough to hear
When Selma uses this Gift, the air around her drops a few degrees, a subtle shiver brushing against anyone nearby. She leans close, her voice barely more than a breath, whispering into the target’s ear. As she speaks, a faint, ghostly glow — like moonlight caught in mist — gathers at the wound, shrinking it until it vanishes entirely, leaving nothing but untouched skin behind.
Selma's healing is not loud, not explosive, but intimate — a communion between the dying and the dead-yet-walking. She does not command flesh to mend; she convinces it, softly, to forget its pain. Her words are stitched with a magic older than hope, with a certainty that death is neither enemy nor end, but a passage. "Whisper of Life" is not a shout against mortality — it is a secret, a hush passed between bodies that are trying to survive just a little longer.
