Salome

Salome (去鳴 (サロメ)) is a member of the Kamisato Faction and Kamisato Kakeru's non-blood-related younger sister.

Etymology
was the daughter of King Herod, who is infamous for performing a seductive dance before her father in exchange for the head of.

Appearance
Salome has long silver hair, rolled up on either side of her head like disks or demon horns, and tanned skin. She wears two translucent hooded raincoats with nothing underneath, and goes barefooted. She wears a palm-sized plastic pocket watch on a thick string around her neck. She also carries a long sports bag with a shoulder strap.

Abilities
Salome makes use of Celtic-based sacrifice magic, which allows her to destroy and offer up weapons to a god, in her case the sea god, in order to increase her strength and gain the destroyed weapons' traits. While using her magic, Salome needs to offer up a weapon and continue the chain of sacrifices within three minutes, otherwise it resets to zero and she loses the acquired power. Her sacrificial magic comes in two forms; External Offering (外的御供), which offers up the weapons she destroys barehandedly and Internal Offering (内的御供) which offers up parts of her own body.

Salome also has a peculiar bodily composition which is convenient in the use of her Internal Offering. She is capable of functioning normally despite losing bodily organs or entire limbs, and can still talk normally despite being reduced to a head. In addition, she can still use Internal Offering even in such a state, pointing out that biting through the remains of still intact body parts is enough to invoke the technique.

Character Art Design
Haimura designed Salome based on several ideas like a and a wedding dress with transparent lace and many frills. Another explicit detail was the fact that Salome does not have the organs necessary to make or nourish a baby.

Salome has four character design pages dedicated to her, but since the first two were technically nude drawings, Kamachi has prohibited Haimura from hosting them on his blog. Despite this, Haimura pointed out that the nude drawings of Salome were needed to properly illustrate the core of her character.
