Silver

## **Physical Appearance**

Silver is a young anthropomorphic falcon with a deceptive build; she is very lean, yet insanely strong. She has mainly silver gray plumage (hence her name), and a white underside barred with small black bands. Unlike most falcons, she also sports a distinctive head crest made of long feathers that protrude from the back of her head and curve slightly upward. This crest, along with the rest of her head, is black. She has large black eyes with diagonal dark gray markings around them, and each has a single pointed eyelash. She has a white blaze marking on the lower half of her face that goes over her beak and connects to her throat. Her beak is yellow with a black, hooked tip. She has large wings with black tips and white underparts and distinctively separate long arms with five fingers on each black hand. She has long digitigrade legs. Her upper legs are covered in short white feathers speckled with black, while her lower legs are scaly, yellow, and have the trademark foot design of all raptors: three toes facing forward and one backward. She has long, narrow tail feathers tipped in black. She is usually seen wearing blue scrubs and a white surgical mask to hide her beak, but will switch to more casual attire when out of work; this usually consists of her a red T-shirt and black pants. She prefers to be barefoot.

## **History**

### **Early Life**

Silver hatched from a lone egg in an empty falcon's nest and began learning to fend for herself immediately, growing up with no parents or siblings. By the time she turned four, she was able to speak proficiently, fly, hunt, and fight. She moved out of the forest she'd been born in to avoid predators and began living on the streets of Bellingham City, where she quickly adapted to urban life. She was soon caught stealing food from a local grocery store by police and subsequently placed in an orphanage, where she endured harsh treatment. However, Anga, who'd become deputy sheriff, decided to adopt Silver as her own to give her a better life. Indeed, Silver's life improved, developing a strong bond with her adoptive mother and older sister Arianna and gaining a happy-go-lucky, humorous personality. She began going to school at the age of six and quickly became a prodigy; she also stood up for herself and other carnivores who were being unjustly discriminated against. Silver graduated middle school at the age of twelve, but couldn't attend high school due to the racist policy of "No Carnivores Allowed".

She decided that she wanted to be a dentist; however, Anga couldn't afford to send her or her sister to college or medical school. Luckily, Silver managed to get a job at her local dentist office where she quickly became proficient at the profession, impressing her mother. When Anga became the Bellingham police chief, Silver was elated for her. She was later hired to work at the Bellingham Correctional School, a high school and prison for juvenile delinquents. Although her mother was reluctant to let her work in such a dangerous environment, Silver proved herself to be capable of doing so with her advanced knowledge, abilities, and quick thinking. To make sure her daughter would be able to defend herself, Anga had Silver enroll in martial arts and self-defense classes, growing elated when Silver's fast learning allowed her to blossom into an even better fighter. Silver has since been working as a dentist and security officer as part of the BCS staff.

### **Chapter 43: Silver**

The next day after arriving at Anga's house, Xenia is told by the eagle that she needs to see a dentist. Xenia asks who'd be willing to see her after what she did. Anga takes her to the living room and has her wait on the couch. Sometime later, silver makes her debut, chirping to indicate it's time for the appointment. Silver takes Xenia to the house's dentist office and has her sit in the chair, which she is then restrained to.
