Berlyne Alvarado

**Berlyne Alvarado** is one of the main characters of The Silver Eye. She is fierce, brave, loyal, and caring despite her sarcastic personality.

## Biography

Berlyne Alvarado lives with her sister Chara and her father, Joe, on their ranch. As a "traditional ranch girl," she is skilled at making things with her hands, including clothing, stuffed animals, and carved wood sculptures. Her mother and father are divorced, and her mother doesn't come into the picture much.

Though her mother left when she was young, Berlyne was still able to create and maintain close relationships with her father and sister.

She is always willing to dive into danger headfirst and is willing to do anything to help those she cares about. As she becomes more accustomed to life during her journey on the Novalog, she becomes more caring, kind, and curious, along with being able to gain a deeper understanding of her strengths, fears, and feelings.

## Appearance

Berlyne has peach or light colored skin and is 5'3. She has bright green eyes and thick, frizzy brown hair that reaches halfway down her back. She typically keeps it in a fishtail braid except on rare occasions when she leaves it down.

She generally wears dresses with multiple pieces or layers and with contrasting colors. Though not seen much in the comic, many art pieces done by Laura Hollingsworth depict her as holding a bow and arrow, which is given to her by Ayran Greenway in Chapter 21.

## Personality

At first glance, Berlyne is serious and somewhat bitter with a saracastic edge, but those who know her well also see her as someone who is thoughtful and passionate about what she does. Though she often becomes riled up when her acts of kindness appear to be unappreciated by the receiver (such as Noah giving Ethelinda the scarf she has given him in Chapter 15), she is still willing to try to cheer others up through gifts, such as the stuffed panda she made for Enel.

Berlyne is also much braver than one would typically expect. She jumps into danger headfirst and isn't afraid to risk her life to protect someone that she cares about. She is triggered easily and can immediately become fierce and aggressive if an unlucky someone underestimates her abilities.

Though Berlyne appears to be unaffected by many things or situations that would frighten many others, weavers are one of the things that make her panic. After watching Goatface be taken and killed by the weavers, it made her panicked and distraught. Since this moment, any mention of these ferocious creatures has made her feel unsteady and scared.

Despite the fact that her personality and Chara's lighthearted and carefree attitude are polar opposites, Berlyne cares deeply for her sister even thought she cannot stand Enel and his relationship with Chara. Though she resents those who leave or betray her, she values close relationships and cares for her loved ones deeply.

She is an ISTP personality type, and would be a Gryffindor.
