my god is gonna owe me there's nothing left to save now PERSONALITYOf the two Spellman sisters, Zelda is the sterner and can often come across as cold. In a lot of ways, she fulfills the stereotypical "paternal" role - she is the head of the household, the disciplinarian that does her best to keep the family in line. She is very concerned with appearances and spends a lot of time worried about how the Spellmans are viewed by the rest of the coven, and she goes to great lengths to try and counterbalance the embarrassment that she feels Hilda, Ambrose, and Sabrina often bring to the family name. However, Zelda's emotions and motives are proved to be far more complex than what they appear. Although on the outside, Zelda is an elegant and aloof woman, she often experiences a lot of inner turmoil. She carries any shame of the family name strictly on her shoulders and views herself as responsible for the outcomes of the choices her family makes. The more her family strays from the Path of Night, the more Zelda visibly suffers for it, going so far as to literally self-flagellate when she hits rock bottom dealing with Sabrina. To those around her, it is clear that nothing is more important to Zelda than being a witch and fulfilling her role as a follower of the Dark Lord. She is devout and often clinical in the ways she navigates her faith, following rules to the letter and lashing out when those around her break them. All devout witches put nothing before the Dark Lord, and that is where Zelda's weakness lies - or, perhaps, her strength. Zelda loves her family more than she loves the Dark Lord. It is a constant, internal struggle for her, and while she is well aware of it, it is not always clear to others. On more than one occasion she has had to choose between her devotion and her family, and she always chooses her family. Sabrina's safety is paramount to her, and while she can be strict and often too hard with her, Zelda would stop at nothing to protect Sabrina, even if it means going up against the Dark Lord himself. Much like Sabrina has learned to walk a fine line between the mortal and witch worlds, Zelda has become an expert at balancing her affection of her family with her role in the coven. She's learned to be incredibly duplicitous, and she is a master manipulator in getting what she wants. Zelda knows the best way to keep her family in the good graces of the coven is to rise to power herself, and she does this by appealing to the higher powers and even becoming the High Priest's mistress (and, later, wife). Even her moments of vulnerability are calculated, and it is uncommon that anyone--even Hilda, Sabrina, and Ambrose--have any full awareness of who she actually is or what she is truly thinking. Although Zelda can be cold and off-putting, she possesses a deep ability for love and affection. She is a renowned midwife and loves babies. She starts every morning with a cigarette and reads newspapers in multiple languages. Her familiar, a dog named Vinegar Tom, died a number of years ago and she still moves him around the house and talks about him as if he's still alive. She loved her brother dearly and took in Sabrina because, as she says, Sabrina looked so much like Edward she couldn't bear to give her up. Zelda loves Sabrina no less than as if she were her own daughter, and while they are almost constantly at odds, she never truly backs down from that love. Much the same could be said for the rest of her family - while she is embarrassed by Ambrose and annoyed by Hilda, she always comes through with love and support when it's needed most. The stress that Sabrina's choices often put on the family has helped Zelda come to terms with how much they all mean to her, and how lost she would be without them. While Zelda's seemingly cold personality and stringent rules can often cause conflict, she is, at heart, a huge softie who just wants what is best for her family. She has a strong sense of honor and will not be fooled or manipulated by others. She is also disturbingly self-aware of the darkness that envelops her faith; she is not at all blind to the subjugation of witches and the misogyny that runs rampant in the Church of Night, and she is well aware of the fact that the Dark Lord rules through fear and demands things of them that he shouldn't. However, Zelda knows that this is her path and walks it with confidence while striving to instill that same confidence and awareness in Sabrina. She will never forfeit her powers because she knows, even if they are a gift from the Dark Lord, they are still her powers and hers alone. And she will use them how she sees fit.
