PERSONALITY

PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION: Silvana is a woman who enjoys her privacy thoroughly, deigning not to even give others her first name unless deems them to be very special to her. To others, she is simply known as Ms. Arles. She is an ambitious young woman with a severe disrespect for authority, believing strongly in her own sense of justice, a sense that just so happens to put her at the top of the world. Needless to say, she does not recognize the authority of any king--even her own and chooses to live in self-exile instead. In her own view, she is the only person that can truly be counted upon to look after number one.

Silvana is also very manipulative. Her motives are almost never completely out in the open and she would be quite happy to have others believe she is a harmless heroine with no greater interest than to lend a convenient hand. In reality, however, she is constantly plotting against those around her and there is little that she considers below her. Vindictive, judgemental and somewhat self-centered, she enjoys finding creative ways to punish those who wrong her. She can be rather intense while questioning others, using her sharp wit to bully them, sometimes without ever launching an insult.

A rough and passionate person by nature, Silvana enjoys fighting but takes flesh wounds very seriously. It would be more accurate to say that she enjoys being in a position of dominance. She's a very intelligent woman and perceptive warrior, able to keep up with larger and stronger foes by outmaneuvering and outthinking them. One of her favorite hobbies is adventuring, as she believes that it is the key to gaining the strength she desires. Closely followed by this is identity theft, a game Silvana plays wherein she takes on the identity of someone else and briefly attempts to live their lives in their place without anyone noticing.


LIKES: 

• Flattery: Whether it be her beauty, intelligence or strength Silvana enjoys a good compliment and sometimes even flirting. 

• Curry: Silvana is coocoo for curry. One might say that she has a serious addiction, or that the path to her heart is through her stomach. A plate of good curry is the easiest way to earn Silvana's cooperation on any given issue.

• Domination: Silvana gets a real kick out of putting others in her place. In the same regard, she enjoys the company of servile persons for the most part and is happy to issue commands.

• Hot Baths: Give Silvana a hot spring or a warm bath and she'll readily soak herself for some time. The warm water eases the discomfort from some of her wounds.

• Treasure: Silvana is no stranger to greed. She will readily take anything shiny she can get her hands on and enjoys flaunting her wealth when possible.

• Playing with others: Because Silvana never speaks of her true intentions or motives for the most part and keeps a low profile, she enjoys watching others attempt to figure her out and playing with their expectations in turn.

DISLIKES:

• Being seen in her true appearance: Silvana is very sensitive about all the scars she has and normally hides them, along with making several other adjustments to her form to reach the appearance we see normally. However, having her illusion disrupted or having others see through it is the quickest and easiest way to make her very angry.

• Being body shamed: As an extension of the above, Silvana has a difficult time tolerating criticism of her looks and body shape. This is easily the most effortless way to inspire hatred in her heart.

• Lechery: Although Silvana is a very capable flirt and doesn't mind tasteful flirting herself, there is a fine line of crudeness after which she quickly stops taking this sort of attention as a compliment. In particular, she does not like being touched or handled and does not tend to appreciate vulgar humor.

• Being the center of attention: The more people that are around, the harder it is for Silvana to act without drawing too much attention to herself. Simply put, she doesn't like when people are paying attention to her. It's bad for business!

• The Gerudo: Although Silvana shares some values with the Gerudo, she considers them to be the biggest threat to her privacy and by extension her safety. She was also considered a 'runt' growing up and holds bitterness towards those who bullied her as a child.

• Authority: As previously mentioned, Silvana has little true respect for authority. She sees them, even her own Gerudo King, as being incapable of holding her best interests.

• Swimming: Silvana has a difficult time swimming and loathes the sensation of wet hair upon her nape.

MOTIVATIONS: 

• Freedom: Silvana doesn't like being chained down or obeying authority. By playing her cards right and working with others to defeat greater foes, she hopes to one day be powerful enough that she no longer has to.

• Bringing her own order to the world: Silvana dreams of a world where she is recognized as a queen not because of a royal bloodline, divine mandate or authoritarian command but because of the merit she has shown through her actions. Ideally, she would have liked to have never asked for it.

• Personal Growth: Silvana resents her humble upbringings and desires to make a name greater than that she was born with. It's her own personal form of revenge against those who wronged her in her youth.

FEARS:

• Vulnerability: Silvana doesn't like feeling vulnerable. One of the most extreme examples of this is a hatred of being restrained, whether it's in a jail cell, with magic, some tightly tied rope or just a hug from someone she doesn't 100% trust. Other things that frighten her or make her anxious for example are swimming, thunder and the sensation of being watched by someone she cannot see.

• Personal Failure: Silvana is a perfectionist and does not accept her failures, to the point that she regularly attempts to pretend they never happened.

• Love and Intimacy: More specifically, Silvana is afraid of falling in love with others. She sees this as a form of vulnerability and a method by which plotting enemies could strike at her indirectly.

HISTORY: Silvana was born as the result of a love affair between her mother, a gerudo with a particularly strong disdain for hylians, and a twili man. However, much like every other inter-species gerudo relationship, she inherited none of her father's racial features, as far as anyone knew anyway. Instead, her inheritance from her father came in the form of two family heirlooms, a short sword and an ornate breastplate that she would only obtain after becoming a teenager. Silvana was born quite short for a gerudo, her rather relative lack of muscle mass marking her as a runt to her peers. This caused Silvana to grow up suffering from something of an inferiority complex, fed by a near constant supply of bullying in a vicious cycle of ambition and inadequacy.

Silvana would regularly pick fights with her sisters in the name of her pride, often coming to blows over perceived insults and mockery. This gave her a reputation as a miscreant, someone who was unable to control herself or respect authority. She often lost these fights as well, either because she was picking a fight with someone bigger than her with reckless abandon or because she was picking a fight with multiple people at once. On multiple instances Silvana found herself locked up amongst the trespassers, only further ostracizing her from her people. Because of her violent tendencies, she was never trusted with her own weapon. Her relationship with her mother was strained to a breaking point over her rebellious behavior and, at the young age of thirteen, Silvana excused herself from her homeland to wander the world in search of a better life in a sort of self-inflicted exile.

The first thing Silvana did was seek out her father, his location a parting gift from her mother. She had never known him during her life, but wished to understand life outside the fortress so that she could gain better understanding of life inside it. The journey to find him took an entire two years in spite of her knowing his location. This was on account of her being too weak properly defend herself against the armed foes wandering the wilderness. During this time she was homeless, stealing food to survive. Thankfully, her age bought her mercy the first few times she was caught in the act, giving her the opportunity to learn from her mistakes and become a better thief. By extension, she also became a better actor. Being forced to live a humble life taught Silvana the virtues of pretending to be something she wasn't and, over the next two years, she got used to the idea of swallowing her pride and playing the innocent fool.

When Silvana finally found her father, she found that he was eager to know the daughter he never knew he had. For the first time, Silvana had met someone who did not judge her. Her father and she got along well, in the sense that he was far less a shameful secret than her mother had led her to believe. Thoughtful and altruistic, he offered Silvana his thoughts on what she chose to tell him of her life thus far and offered her a place to stay if she so desired, an offer that Silvana readily accepted at first.

However, Silvana found that she was not content to settle down. Explaining this to her father, he reluctantly accepted that his daughter needed to leave once again only after just having arrived. He explained to Silvana that his life had been full of what he'd consider his own regrets and that he wished her the best. To that end, he bestowed upon her three gifts. The first was a shard of the triforce he had picked up, which he believed she would find far more useful than he. The second was an ornate breastplate designed to be worn by a spellcaster, light enough not to restrict movement too much but heavy enough to protect several key body areas. His last gift was a twili blade passed down to him by his own father. This blade was stated to contain a remote form of his consciousness, allowing him to speak to the wielder at will. That way, although Silvana was leaving him, she would never be alone.

Taking these gifts and her fathers' tales of regret to heart, a very flustered Silvana realized she'd just been given the opportunity and trust she'd never had when she was younger and vowed to make a better life for herself and pursue her dreams so that her fathers' kindness and understanding would not be in vain. She then tapped into the power of the triforce shard she'd been given and used it to hide the many scars she'd received during her years of vicious fighting as well as to change her skin color to a much paler color resembling the hylians she'd been living amongst for years now. She saw this as herself washing away her past and starting anew.

APPEARANCE

HEIGHT: 5'2'' (157.5 cm)
WEIGHT: 98 lbs (44.5 kg)


APPEARANCE DESCRIPTION:


Face: Silvana's skin is quite pale for a Gerudo and, if it weren't for her lush cherry red hair, her scarlet eyes might lead one to believe she was born with albinism. Her features are quite striking in spite of this, with a powerful gaze framed by flowing, neatly trimmed bangs and a sharp yet petite nose that fits perfectly above her supple lips. One is left to question how exactly a woman from a warrior society can possibly not have a single scar, to which one would rightly begin to assume that perhaps some form of magic was at play here.

Body build: Lithe and somewhat athletic, one would be hard-pressed to guess Silvana's body type at a glance as a result of her choice of clothes being a skirt and a breastplate that obfuscates her form somewhat. Although the breastplate gives the impression of an hourglass figure, she is actually not all that well-endowed underneath it and her true body shape is that of the humble pear.

Clothing: Silvana is something of a minimalist fashionista, the quality of her clothes speaking of an upper-class upbringing. She is typically found wearing an ornate breastplate and tiara to compliment her otherwise simple outfit, the customized regalia of a mage-knight. The breastplate, in particular, is designed in a way that makes it difficult for enemies to get at her throat during combat.

Cosmetics: Silvana's seemingly surreal natural beauty would have you believe she's wearing makeup, but in fact, she is not. Perhaps magic is all the "cosmetics" she needs. She smells strongly of curry spice pretty much constantly, a somewhat strong aroma.

Equipment

Name: Silvana's Ethereal Blade
Rank: Common
Type: Short-Sword
Handling: One-Handed

Description: This somewhat pretty short sword has a translucent blade, as if it were made of stained glass. This is, however, misleading, as the blade is actually quite durable comparable to steel. It can survive extended use without needing repairs and is quite difficult to break with force. Although one would be hard pressed to notice this at a glance, the sword actually has a spirit living inside of it that speaks to the wielder. Physically, the blade is about 20 inches long and has a leather grip that allows for easier wielding. The hilt of the sword is long enough to enable the user to wield it with both hands for extra power should they so desire. A scarlet gem is embedded in the pommel, the technical living space of the spirit that embodies the blade.
