I have a theory that Salem is actually a parasitic Grimm, who takes over hosts, gaining their knowledge, skills, possibly part of their personality (though warped due to Grimm behaviour), and maybe be able to use Aura. Whether the host is alive or dead is another question.

Salem thus would not actually be Salem - that would be the name of her current host.

But that's a theory. Or hypothesis, given the closest we've ever seen to this was the Geist.
