Silver

Silver is a player character in Wishchasers. She is played by Roma. She is the captain of the party's ship, and a Shaper from the Verdant Tides, travelling on her coming-of-age voyage.

## Appearance and Personality

### Appearance

Silver is a shorter woman with pale skin and short white hair. A portion of her hair in the back of her head is tied into a short braid. Her upper torso and arms feature red line markings that occasionally branch into circles before meeting back together. Her eyes are red with white pupils in a shape akin to four-pointed stars. Silver often wears an unknown kind of white flower in her hair.

In terms of clothing, Silver often wears a sleeveless white dress, kept tight around her waist with a rope. She wears teal cloths on both of her arms that act as sleeves. A portion of her dress is separated from the rest of it and tied together in a circular loop. This portion features elaborate floral patterning. Silver is often seen with her staff, a long wooden instrument with a wishstone affixed on the top. A circular decoration akin to a wheel sits below the wishstone, which connects to an orange cloth with floral patterns.

### Personality

Silver is an incredibly friendly and optimistic person. She often spends her free time wandering around and looking for people to help. While still unfamiliar with the ways of the world outside of Verdant Tides, she is incredibly perceptive and understanding of other cultures, often acting not out of naivety but rather active desire to subvert what she sees as unfair practices. Silver is incredibly passionate about Wish magic.

## History

### Early Life and Young Adulthood

Silver hails from the Verdant Tides, where she spent her childhood. During this time, her people determined that, once she completed a traditional coming-of-age journey, she was to be their next Elder. Once old enough, she set off on this pilgrimage, departing on a single-person boat to experience the world beyond her homeland. About a year prior to the campaign's start, she arrived in Regency, earned the patronage of La Rosche, and began to live in his manor. Over the course of this year, she made a habit of getting lost in the city and meeting strangers that she would bring back to the manor and try to persuade La Rosche to support.

### The Wishchasing Expedition

Eventually, Silver was chosen by La Rosche as one of his representatives for the research and wishchasing expedition that would be jointly funded by himself and the Crown of Regency. On the day the expedition was due to depart, she met Gem in his uncle's tavern. Bonding over their mutual capacity as shapers, she ended up bringing him along when picked up by Remilio Valdez, another member of the expedition. After picking up Marceline Havelock and Murdoch, the now-assembled party had a discussion about hiring additional crew members; when Marceline suggested bringing Gem on, Silver enthusiastically approved, declaring that she would teach him shaping herself. As the party departed for the docks to inspect their ship, La Rosche provided details of the first task he had for them; investigating ancient ruins ostensibly belonging to a precursor civilisation to the Verdant. This caught Silver's attention, and she took an immediate interest in seeing this task completed and any discovered artifacts returned safely. He also informed her that she was to be the Captain of the ship, to her surprise.

When they arrived at the docks, Silver took part in business with The Red Man, trading some rope and a talisman to Sedge in exchange for a feather, which she traded in turn for a crystal full of glowing blue orbs. When the party met Owen, she led efforts to figure out the party's skillset and what they would need out of a crew, and invited the shipwright to join them as a repair specialist. After registering their crew's details, she accompanied Remilio as he reported to Captain Fields, from whom they received a mission from the crown to inspect sightings of a Stormcanter. She then provided Gem's uncle with details their planned route, and helped Gem build a new wishing focus. Following that, she picked up a mail delivery from the harbormaster's office, and then boarded the boat with her crew and patron to personally inspect it.

## Abilities

Silver is an incredibly powerful Shaper, able to utilize Wish magic in ways that far outpace the normal capabilities of a Shaper. Her ability is so potent that she destroyed a Shaping gauntlet after attempting to attune to it.
