## In the OCT

### Entry Comic

Silva, residing in the heavenly realm with her friends Amelia and Speca when suddenly Luciel, the God of Chaos, arrives with M4SK's invitation letter. While she isn't sure about the contents of the letter, when she reads it she's intrigued by the possibility of a granted wish. Despite keeping it to herself, she contemplates using the wish on her girlfriend Speca, who due to her alien race has an extremely limited lifespan considering she could explode at any moment. With her now determined to join the tournament to get her wish granted, she asks Luciel on how to get to the Center of the Universe in which he says he really has no idea. Silva actually never interacts with M4SK herself in her entry comic.

### Before the Invitation

As the Goddess of Balance, Silva's main duty is to ensure that everything essentially plays out the way it should. Much like her duty of balance, she can also be viewed as a deity of law and order. She is to maintain the stability of the universe and accompanying realms, making sure things don't throw themselves into chaos. However, she's only recently reincarnated into the position so as such, she is extremely inexperienced and has barely tapped into any of her godly potential. All her godly ability resides in her scarf, which she can control with the same freedom as a limb. It can extend, swipe, stretch, slash and all kinds of things to make it both a useful tool and weapon

### On the S.S. Oshea

Silva had two main events happen on the S.S. Oshea

On the deck of the ship, Silva met with Benny and the two grew a bond over the fact that they both have scarves. As they bonded, Benny began to become self-conscious and considered the idea that it would be better if one of them weren't accepted so that way they wouldn't have to fight one another. Silva gives Benny a motivational speech about how he shouldn't worry about all the infinite possibilities and just aim for the possibility he wanted to come true. Afterwards Silva grabs Benny's scarf with her scarf and vows that no matter what happens, they would be friends and would aim for each other's wishes as well as their own.

Later on, after the buffet on the cruise, Silva considers the idea that telling her competition of she's a goddess in order to intimidate them into dropping out. She attempts to sneak up on the first person she sees but she ends up bailing out in fear when she realizes it's Reaper. She ends up spotting F.A.A. and attempts to intimidate him by boasting her godly nature, but ends up embarrassed when she realizes he was a spectator rather than an actual contestant. The two proceed to have a conversation in which F.A.A. asks about Silva's abilities in which she denies most of his overpowered assumptions. When she tries to demonstrate what she can do, she ends up accidentally hitting Mipp.

### Round 1 - Silva vs. Kiki (LOSS)

## Personality

Silva was a young girl when she inherited her godhood and her story only takes place a year or so after her initial awakening to it. As such, she's a rookie through and through, she's inexperienced and the only people that can help show her the ropes are the other gods. However, most of the gods are extremely skeptical and biased towards Silva due to the Goddess before her being infamous for how much of a tyrant she was. While Silva has no connection to the previous goddess, just the inherited title was enough to put a bad taste in mouths. Silva demanding her to remove the seal but the thing is Silva doesn't know how to. Her godhood power is heavily unexplored and she doesn't even know most of the things she can do aside from using her scarf. Most of the malice from the other gods doesn't stop Silva from trying to befriend them anyway. A lot of Silva's initial hardship stems from judgement based off factors outside of her control. She doesn't just accept the labels and decides to prove herself to be a different goddess than the last. One that wants to make amends and peace with her fellows

Between the other gods, the Starborn, and Speca's pessimistic attitude; Silva has practically everything against her. However all of it has the idea of balance, hence she is the Goddess of Balance. When it comes to her girlfriend Speca, Silva is the optimist, Speca is the pessimist. Speca believes there's no point in gaining something if you're just eventually going to lose it. Silva on the other hand believes that even if you lose something, it just means you're eventually going to gain something. She becomes the balancing force that makes peace between the Gods and the Starborn and she even balances out the Gods bias toward her by having them all warm up to her. And despite it all, after losing all her friends (This story is technically a sequel and Silva outlived all her friends from the prequel) and the constant pressure from the outside forces, Silva still manages to maintain an energetic, positive outlook. This is the real balance that Silva manages to maintain, making the most out of a bad situation and turning it into your favor. When life gives you lemons, ya know.

This isn't something she deals with by herself. One of the few friends Silva retained was a demon named Amelia, who lived just as long as her. Silva at the end of the day still is just a child and Amelia despite technically being her assistant often acts more like a guardian for her. She understands that deep down Silva struggles with all the deals of being a goddess and offers to help her most of the time. Despite everything, another aspect of Silva's balance is balancing out what she does own with the help she gets from her friends, something she needs.

## Skills and Abilities

Silva's Godly Tool is her enchanted scarf. She can control it practically as well as a third arm, in fact even better than. She can straighten it out to thin the edge allowing for slices and swipes or bunch it up to resemble a fist, letting her attack with flurries of blows. She can even manipulate the end pieces as if they were fingers. However the most potent part of her power is the fact that she can extend her scarf to incredible lengths, allowing herself to attack from very fast distances, or even wrap it around herself to act as armor. She doesn't always use it for fighting, Silva likes to just use it for practical uses. Grabbing things she can't reach considering she's rather short, using it as a stool, and other uses she can think of. There are seven techniques Silva learned from her fellow gods:

* Ingrained Cloth - Learned from the Goddess of Life, Kira, this ability allows Silva to implant her scarf into the ground and multiple giant scarves will immerge from the ground. These scarves can be controlled remotely but Silva herself can not move while she's like this unless she removes her scarf from the ground.

* Steel Wool - Learned from the Goddess of War, Kumatora, this ability allows Silva to enchant her scarf by harden it to the strength of steel. This allows her slashes to be as sharp as a sword

* Bulletproof - Learned from the Goddess of Protection, Lacia, this ability allows Silva to use her scarf as a barrier or shield. This shield is practically indestructible aside from cosmic levels of strength

* Cotton Chamber - Learned from the God of Chaos, Luciel, this ability allows Silva to curl her scarf into loops and from the holes, shoot blasts of energy. This can be either a spurt shot or a beam

* Thermal Elements - Learned from the Goddess of Technology, Nafiza, this ability allows Silva to engulf her scarf in either fire, ice, or lightning

* Fabric Flurry - Learned from the God of Time, Tamot, this ability allows Silva to tap into the flow of time in order to rapidly punch with her scarf at incredible speeds

* Stretched Out - Learned from the God of Emotion, Zin, this ability allows Silva to increase the size of her scarf to ginormous sizes

## Trivia

* Silva actually has a distinct fighting stance she takes in which she slightly squats and puts her arms back. This allows her scarf to move more freely and lets her attack easily.
* Silva sometimes will use her scarf to imitate those around her in subtle ways, such as lowering her scarf to her lower back to replicate Kiki's tanuki tail, or wrapping her scarf around her head and slouching to imitate Raylah.
* Silva has a rivalry with Raylah considering due to her nature, Silva naturally has an advantage over her.
