**Laikia Silvano** was a recurring character in the World of the Exceed. She was a student at River High and prior to that, a vigilante. She was best friends with Rosefeather Takahashi and lived in her apartment along with Matsuri Misaka and Takana Fukumari.

## Appearance

Laikia was a seventeen-year-old girl with silver hair and eyes, a fluffy tail, and two pointed ears above her head.

## Personality

Laikia is bold, courageous, and kind. Despite her great personality traits, Laikia hasn't has much social interaction in her life and is a bit socially awkward. Because of this, she suppresses her true feelings and maintains a shy disposition, although those who quickly get to know her will realize otherwise. Since Laikia is pretty friendly, she gets along well with most people. Although she had a troubled past, she has gotten over most of it, mostly in thanks to her good friend Rosefeather. Even though it might seem like Laikia trusts easily, that is in fact not true. It takes a great deal of time to build up Laikia's trust with someone, although she may act like a best friend even at the start of a friendship. Those closest to Laikia see what she truly feels like, which is feeling alone. Laikia puts on a facade on the outside, but is actually hiding her true feelings within, only accessible to those closest to her. At heart, she wants to protect and help others, but mostly because she feels alone.

## Relationships

Matsuri Misaka - Strangely, Laikia doesn't really like Matsuri that much, despite the latter also sharing parental problems. Laikia sees Matsuri as a bad influence for Rosefeather, and is also jealous of Matsuri because she takes up all of Rosefeather's time. Laikia has sometimes even felt scared of her, fearing that she might molest her because of her constant perverted comments.

Rosefeather Takahashi - Rosefeather is Laikia's only true friend because of their deep connection from the fact that both of their parents were murdered by the Dark Dagger. Laikia also feels a sense of protection from Rosefeather since she saved her from being murdered as well.

## History

### Early Life

While Laikia's past is shrouded in mystery, one thing is certain: she experienced something truly mortifying at a young age.

Laikia was never rich, but neither was she poor. Living a good life, Laikia viewed the world as a happy, carefree place. She came from a loving family who helped the community many times, and were well-known as being very kind.

That all changed when Laikia turned twelve. A nearby cult, calling themselves the Dark Dagger, came to the Silvano household and demanded the family's funds. After taking the money and ransacking the home, the cult members killed Laikia's parents out of cold blood, and proceeded to terrorize Laikia and her siblings. But before the cult members could shoot Laikia, Rosefeather appeared at the rescue, brutally killing the cult members out of hatred.

Laikia later became friends with Rosefeather, and wanted to assist her in her vigilante duties, but Rosefeather refused; she didn't want Laikia to get hurt. So, as a way to cope with her trauma, and looking to Rosefeather as a role model, Laikia began her own operation, which wasn't as successful as Rosefeather's. She wanted to help people, in any way she could, to prevent them from having experiences like hers. While her intentions were good, due to her social awkwardness, she ended up causing more trouble than good. So when Rosefeather put her mission to rest, Laikia followed suit, and despite offers from her relatives to live with them, chose to move in with Rosefeather.

The two started to bond ever closer, and after a year, she has grown more responsible and has become a bit less awkward. But when she found out that Rosefeather was going to take in a homeless girl by the name of Matsuri Misaka, she was instantly clouded with hatred. When Matsuri arrived Laikia grew jealous that Rosefeather wasn't spending time with her, but with Matsuri instead. She also found Matsuri to be creepy and unsettling, and once she caught Matsuri taking pictures of her while she slept on a Polaroid camera. Since then she has developed a fear for Matsuri while living with her, and has tried multiple times to confide in Rosefeather about it, but it was treated as a joke.
