Personality and History: Sally was raised as an orphan, told that both her parents were dead. Raised in a rough area of New York, she was a frequent target for bullying and worse, which gave rise to a resentment for others. At the end of high school, her tormenters sabotaged her exam by getting her thrown out, and in her eyes destroyed her academic chance of escape. Curiously, those same tormenters later crashed their car. According to the only survivor the brakes had failed, but as the driver was way over the drink-drive limit, no one believed him.
When she was twenty she finally met her father, Miles Colburn, who had just been released by jail. He’d been arrested by Mr Steelman, who had made one of his infrequent appearances out of retirement to capture him. However, Miles died soon after, due to long-term injuries caused by Mr Steelman. Sally is now sure who she has to blame for her horrendous upbringing.
On the surface Sally appears to be sweetness and light but don’t let that fool you. Underneath she is completely ruthless and selfish. Her childhood experience prevents her from trusting anyone, and given her a sense of detachment from the rest of the human race. As well as her sizable intellect, Sally is an expert planner, able to plot ahead for several contingencies. However, when her plans do fail she does not react well, and her lack of experience shows through.
