Alyssa Chang

**Alyssa Chang** was an orphan witch who was a siphoner witch and was taken into boarding school by Malachai Salvatore in 2004 after he saw her lost and sick on the streets.

Alyssa has a complex and complicated history. During her childhood years, she accidentally blew up her parent's house using magic, killing everyone inside and making her an orphan. Shortly after, Alaric arrives and asks her if she would like to become a student at the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted, a school for special children with unique abilities. Alyssa agrees, but her time at the school is not without problems.

She instantly begins causing tensions with other students, particularly Lizzie and Josie Saltzman, who are regularly subject to her unstable behavior. Eventually, Alaric talks with Emma about sending Alyssa away — which is later revealed to be a euphemism for sending her to the 2018 Prison World — however Emma disagrees. Instead, they wipe her memory to give her a fresh start, an idea which she herself agrees to. Sometime later, Alyssa's behavior improves, and Emma tells her that they no longer need to have weekly meetings.
