I had the most terrible vision

SUMMARIZED;

Being locked in a cage that was Sally’s room for most of her childhood and young adolescents Sally is very timid and soft spoken. It depends on who she’s around. She has a mask, one that she’s undeniably herself in and the other where she hides the darker parts of herself from the public. She yearns for adventure and spontaneity which can cause her to be a little reckless at times. Though her premonitions save her from doing too much damage- most of the time anyway. Sally feels constantly torn between helping others like her--and on the other hand trying to resist the darker parts of herself. She fears if she ignores those feelings for too long that something catastrophic will happen.

HEADCANONS;

Sally has extreme claustrophobia due from being locked in her room for most of her young adult life. She hates being in small places, or in extremely large crowds. It reminds of her of a time that she felt completely helpless and can set off an intense panic attack.

While Sally was homeschooled she still always felt like the odd one out. Now being independent in the real world she can’t help but to feel she doesn’t necessarily fit in it. Not that she cares but she still see’s the looks people give her and her shop. Sally just wants to help people whom are like herself or interested in magic.

Her father was the main source of her pain--and yet Sally still can’t forgive herself for the fate she caused him. It was all those years of torment locked inside her and she finally couldn’t take it anymore. The magic she didn’t know she had within her took over and tried to break free. That’s all she wanted-- was to be free. Instead her freedom costed her fathers life. Whilst she’s happy to be on her own her father’s death haunts her, which causes her to have plenty of night terrors.

Her favorite place to wind down is in the forest or the cemetery. She never found those places unsettling or creepy, it’s always felt peaceful to her. She likes to talk to the spirits there whether they show themselves or not. The dead deserve love too especially the ones whose families are no longer living to visit them.

After her fathers death and learning that she was a witch Sally spent a lot of time studying it and practicing her powers. She didn’t want what happened to her father happen to anyone else, especially Jack. She feels more in control than she did when she was younger but there are times that she cannot ignore the dark whispers that flow from her fingertips urging that she was destined for more.

Sally wishes she knew more about her mother before she passed. Now that her father is gone all those questions are left unanswered. Where did her mothers powers come from? Did she inherit them too? Did she make a deal with a demon, was she blessed with a gift? Sally would never know and that killed her the most. The unknowingness of it all.

Jack Skellington is her best friend and confidant. She goes to him with anything. Her dreams, her visions, her fears, he knows it all. Except she is hiding one thing rather important from him. How she made a deal with Otis in exchange for her metaphysical shop. She’s worried Jack will show up at her shop one day and wonder why Otis is there and rather frequently too--but she’s too afraid to tell him that she made a deal with his enemy.

Otis has stirred a whirlwind of emotions within Sally. He’s everything that Jack isn’t and maybe that’s why she’s curious about him even though she’d never admit that aloud. He embraces the darker parts of her--which scares the absolute shit out of Sally.
