Silver... is actually a pretty apt description of them.

Their light grey hair is shoulder length, messy, and shimmers ever so slightly, even in the absence of light. Under their hair, they have elongated, furry ears that appear to be a mix between a human's and a fox's. They also have a long and fluffy tail, which, like their ears, is silvery-grey with white tips. Their hair and fur is speckled with magical sparkles that constantly twinkle and fall away, only to disappear after a few moments.

Their skin is pale in such a way that it almost makes them look sickly. Their facial features are delicate and not very pronounced. Combined with their short stature and slight frame, this can make them look very young at first glance.

For the most part, they appear human. However, there are some notable exceptions in addition to their ears and tail. Their palms, fingertips, and the soles of their feet have thick black paw pads, and they have small claws on their hands and feet. Here and there they have strangely placed tufts of sparkling fur, such as on their elbows and ankles.

Their eyes are peculiar in that the right one is lavender, but the left one is pastel green. They both glow unnaturally in the dark. A small, faded black tattoo resembles thick eyeliner above both eyes, then the line continues down and ends with a small teardrop-like swirl high on their cheekbones. These tattoos glow brightly in moments of intense emotion.

Silver wears modest, relaxed clothing in soft colours. Their clothes are chosen for comfort and functionality with less regard for how they look. They regularly wear jeans, sweaters or oversized t-shirts, long socks, and sneakers or soft boots. No matter what they're wearing, they always have a ribbon-like black collar with a distinct round charm on the front. They carry a huge, well-worn satchel with them everywhere they go. It mostly seems to be full of odd magical trinkets and Vulticus treats.

Whether or not she's actively mentioned, Zii is always floating somewhere nearby Silver, usually in the space just behind their left shoulder.

Silver is, in a word, confused. Their perception of reality, especially regarding the passing of time, is quite distorted. They are often nervous when there's no reason to be and reckless in the face of actual danger. They will connect unrelated events in their head, leading to them blame themselves for things like bad luck or even the weather. When they're not around other people, they will often talk aloud to their creatures as a way of gathering their thoughts. The more self conscious they get around others, the less they talk, and the more easily they become disoriented and overwhelmed.

Kindness drives most of their actions, and they will always go out of their way to help others. They have a great deal of empathy for people and creatures alike, and they cannot bear to witness suffering of any kind. They are vigilant and protective of their creatures and friends. They are willing to do anything for their creatures, even going so far as to put themselves in harm's way for them. When it comes to their relationships, they are doubtful and worried about being a good enough friend or caretaker, even though they often make sacrifices for others.

Since they grew up without many people around, they sometimes struggle to understand others' motivations. A lot of the time, they don't know things that would be considered common knowledge, which can be a barrier to social interaction. Combined with their kind and caring nature, this makes them vulnerable to being manipulated.

Some time in the recent past, Silver lost a large portion of their long term memories. Though they have occasional moments of clarity, they cannot easily remember their past, where they came from, or the people that they used to know. Trying to remember causes them discomfort, so they generally avoid doing so.

Silver is a pacifist who will go to extreme measures to avoid violence. Even when provoked, they will do everything within their power to not permanently harm any living thing. They eat only food they grow themselves and trade the extra for the food they give to their creatures. However, they don't have a problem feeding meat to creatures who need it. The comfort and safety of their creatures comes above anything else for them, even their morals and well being.

Silver grew up in a modest house in the woods outside of a small town. Their mother, a fox mammalian, was a herbalist and healer. She would trade potions, herbal cures, and the occasional touch of magic in exchange for anything she couldn't make or grow herself. Otherwise, it was just the two of them. Together, they maintained a humble farm with a few animals and a robust garden.

One night, Silver woke up in a cloud of smoke. Their home had caught fire, and they were trapped. Before they could escape, they passed out from smoke inhalation. When they finally came to, they found out that their mother had saved their life at the expense of her own. Having lost everything they ever knew in an instant, Silver grabbed the only thing they could find to remind them of their past - a round necklace charm that belonged to their mother.
