Salima has spiky red hair that is similar to Max Tate's except longer, she also has dark-purple eyes. Her basic attire is a black jacket and purple undershirt, she also wears a white skirt with a red belt, black stockings and purple shoes with black laces. In her first appearance she was not wearing her black jacket and instead of her stockings she wore socks.
She starts to wear the Team Psykick uniform, after joining the team.
Personality
She is very kind-hearted and truly believes in her team's goal: to learn everything they possibly can about Beyblading. She also cares about other people as she told ray to forfeit the match to save his bit beast and not just for a free win. This was also shown when instead of battling more she decided to travel the world and teach kids about bey blading. Salima was also one of the members of her team who did not want to cheat, which shows that she is a fair player and has a sense of honor.
Beyblade: V-Force
In her first appearance Salima came to help two kids who were beyblading, but one of their beyblades was about to get crushed by a bus. She gave them back their bey and told them to take care of their beys and play some where safe.
Later she and her friends helped Ryo when he was about to drown in a river. That is when she and her friends met the blade breakers. Salima told the blade breakers that she and her friends go around the world to train and learn new techniques and ways of living life. She was very attracted to Ray as he was agreeing with everything she was saying which made her think that they thought similarly. She was also really enjoying Tyson and Kane’s battle. She was surprised to see that Tyson could even keep up with Kane. At the end of the episode she was seen with her friends in front of Gideon and doctor B who asked them to join their team and take the cyber bit beast beys.
Salima was also seen along with Kane when the blade breakers tried to sneak into the Psykicks' head quarters and training facility. Salima is the Beyblader chosen to use Cyber Driger. She, along with Kane, was originally against the idea of using the Cyber bit-beasts and tried to convince her teammates that using digital holy beasts was a bad idea. She even wanted to help Ray and the Bladebreakers by giving them her Cyber holy beast to analyze, but demanded in return that they forfeit the match to keep Driger safe.
However, during her attempt to steal Cyber Driger, Kane stopped her and told her that making the blade breakers forfeit the match is a bad idea and told Salima that she should be doing the opposite and should try to use the cyber bey without summoning the bit beast. Later during a training match doctor B puts her against Kane so that she may become possessed by Cyber Driger. During the match she tried to play fairly and not summon Cyber Driger but she accidentally summons it. After the battle she becomes possessed by the bit beast’s power and wants to battle more with it.
During her match with Ray, she still displayed traits of her old self: the desire to win a match without cheating. During the match she tried to regain control and play fairly. She showed the desire to battle fairly when she destroyed doctor B’s fans. During the battle she was badly injured and harmed when cyber Driger was using too much of Salima’s power and was about to kill her. Ray managed to break through to her when he won. Ray tried to make her come with him but she was ready to accept her fate which was to be punished by Gideon and she was also ashamed that she was controlled by the cyber bit beast but she did thank Ray for all his help. After that she was locked in a cell for her failure. Also when the Kane was battling Tyson he was going beyond his limit and could hurt himself. To stop him Salima ran to give him some advice but Kane used his cyber dragoon to blow her away which made Tyson really angry. After Kane and Tyson’s battle the entire battle tower was about to collapse. While everyone was trying to get out Salima was helped to walk by Ray and Max because she was injured in her own battle and later by Kane when he lost control. After everyone got out she was very sorry for using cyber bit beasts and told evry one what beyblading was really about. After this speech Tyson agreed with her which led to Hilary teasing Tyson that he was in love with Salima which is not true, as he loves Kane. After this incident it was seen that Salima stopped battling alot and served more as a beyblade teacher along with Goki. In the championship arc she was seen teaching some kids about beyblading.

Ray Kon
They seem to be great friends and rivals, she shares lots of thoughts with him and was even prepared to give him Cyber Driger to end her teams madness.

Kane Yamashita
Salima has travelled with Kane for over a year and also seems to have a crush on him. She is always worried about him and is always on his side when it comes to opinions. Salima always trusts Kane and does not even get mad on Kane when he used his bit beast to knock her away.

After the events of the cyber bit beasts she and Goki parted ways with Kane and Jim to teach kids around the world about beyblades and learn more about life. She joins Goki for travelling while and Jim went for the World Championships.
