Appearance Human: She looks to be between 15 -18 years old. Silvy is 1.6 m, 5'5" and weighs @ 59 kilos, 132 lbs. She has long silver hair, wide set silver eyes and slightly elongated canine teeth with a peculiar stubby nose. Although she has a peaches and cream complexion, her teeth are a little sharper and longer than that of a regular human. She has well-defined muscles like that of a gymnast. She walks with uncanny grace and stealth, not making any noise unless it's intentional. Her beauty and economy of movement are ethereal. Silvy has a soft, husky voice and rarely speaks to those who aren't Kelvic or Vantha. Wolf: Silver and white fur with almost colorless silvery eyes. Approximately 71 cm, 28 inches tall and 49 kilos,110 lbs. She speaks lupine/canine, but this is a racial thing not a language. Languages: Common, Vani. She speaks these better than the basics but not completely fluent. Some words are still a mystery.
Personality Silvy doesn't purposely smile when in human form unless she's afraid or hostile-and it's not a friendly smile. To Silvy, smiling looks like a fearful or hostile baring of teeth, as it is with all wolves. Silvy is shy, but curious and gentle--the true wolf in nature. She's slow to trust, but now that she's found Varian, her loyalty is fierce and valiant. There is debate on her intelligence because Silvy works almost entirely on instinct and speaks so rarely. Some would say silence is the best way to learn. Changing between human and wolf form is an exhausting and ravenous process that Silvy does not do lightly or often. While she prefers wolf form, she will take human form to communicate something important or if requested by her Bondmate, Varian. Silvy has extremely keen vision, sense of smell and hearing in both forms.
History Ever since she was a baby, Silvy was raised by Ellyssaryan, a kind and gentle old priestess of Morwen. Living on the edge of the forest, between cities, they would wander for hours daily through enormous groves and vast meadows. Just before she turned 6 months old, she became a wolf cub for the first time. Silvy was a natural when it came to tracking and the old druid began to depend on the Kelvic's burgeoning hunting skills. One memorable rainy night, Silvy ran swiftly through the forest to her home, with a wild hare firmly in her jaws. Her very first 'big' kill for a wolf cub!
"Mother will be pleased!"
As the silvery young wolf neared her home, the rain lessened into an ominous silence. A brilliant blaze of lightning shouted at the same time the thunder nearly cracked the sky in half! The ear-splitting sound echoed off the trees into a deafening quiet. No crickets chirped, the birds held their collective breath in terror and even the whispering grasses stilled themselves as if in waiting. A coppery scent lingered ominously. Silvy immediately dropped the hare and burst through the wooden door in a frenzy.
Ellyssaryan lay slumped over on the floor, dead of heart failure with rigor mortis not yet stiffening her corpse! The Gods decided it was her time to reincarnate and one didn't argue with the Gods.
Silvy trembled and cried out, begging the woman to come alive with all the feeling in her heart. She crept timorously toward her only known mother, the sole person she'd ever known. The smell of death filled the small cabin, choking the poor wolf till she couldn't breathe. The walls were too close. She turned on a foot, swiftly running with all her might through the darkened canopy, while rain drops fell like tears unheeded across her fur.
The Kelvic reached a small, secluded clearing and pointed her nose to the sky, singing the age old song of mourning. Her tender heart would never be the same again.
Relationships After the death of her adopted mother, Silvy bonded with Varian Snowsong a year later. Raised in almost total isolation, she doesn't know or trust people very much. Her first kiss was with Varian. She's utterly naive about the nuances of human relationships.
Drugs and alcohol She has tried neither intentionally. Silvy once ate a bit of fruit out of curiosity, but it had started to ferment and left her dizzy and a little nauseous. She's avoided fruit since then.
Likes and Dislikes She is entranced by music and it's one of the two things that calms her. The other and most calming influence is Varian Snowsong, her Bondmate. Silvy likes to howl as a wolf and sings beautifully in human form. She likes to run at full speed, feeling the wind in her face. Pure freedom. Silvy really enjoys tracking and scenting because it lets her satisfy her curiosity. Putting together scents and tracks to their conclusion makes her feel she's done herself proud. The scent of a fresh kill or settling in for a nap with a full belly is the best feeling ever! Silvy dislikes those who smile a lot because she's just not used to it. She hasn't discovered a hobby yet, but grooming her front paws is soothing and lifts her spirits. She adores the forest at night when the creatures all come out. She likes raw meat, but will tolerate cooked meat to be polite. She's a pure carnivore. Silvy's human form is what embarrasses her the most. It is clumsy, defenseless, has neither fur or tail!
Silvy is colorblind; she doesn't have a favorite color. The closest she can get to seeing or liking a color is watching Vantha eyes and their movement. Thunderstorms are one of the few things she strongly dislikes. They make her tense and unsettled, always bringing her back to that night of death. She is neither optimistic or pessimistic because she lives in the here and now. Silvy has no true sense of a tomorrow or planning ahead too far. She's looking to find a pack to belong with. Maybe she'll find one in Avanthal.
Silvy is insulted at being compared in any way with a common dog.
Aesthetics :
Silvy sees herself as natural, friendly, furry and playful in wolf form. As a human she sees herself as weak, defenseless, awkward, clumsy and out of place. Others would see a medium sized, well muscled wolf with large teeth and a piercing gaze, but unusually friendly. In human form, others would see her as unusually muscular for a short girl. (Think Olympic Gymnast here!) Her long hair and innocent expression would be at distinct odds with her sharp canine teeth, stubby nose and almost colorless eyes. Silvy's favorite feature is her tail. It helps her communicate, steers during quick turns and keeps her nose, feet and face warm when she sleeps. She is incredibly muscular and fit in both forms. Silvy wears a dove grey gown with matching cloak and boots that are silvery in the right lighting.
Family :
Silvy's parents died when she was far too young to remember them. It's always a possibility that she could have litter mates or family out there. If she has any brothers, sisters or extended family, she's not aware of it. Silvy considers new friends as part of her 'pack.' Depending on if it's a prey animal or a predator, her reaction to animals will vary. When meeting another predator, regardless of it being Kelvic or not, she's generally friendly--and submissive if they're larger. When she meets a prey animal, even if it's Kelvic, well it's fast food and she'll most likely drool. The only exception is birds in regular or Kelvic form. She's fascinated by them.
Location :
1. Silvy was born in the forest, a few clicks away from the gates of Avanthal. Silvy is wandering around Avanthal, with no set home. Given the choice, Silvy always prefers the woods. The large forests of Avanthal is her favorite place to be. Silvy is nervous and edgy in large, busy cities with cobbled streets.
Traits :
The young Kelvic considers her human form her biggest weakness. Her true weakness is her trusting, innocent nature. She has a tiny scar under her chin. During her first kill, the claws on a hare's back feet scratched her deeply and now she always takes care to prevent it from happening again. Both paws. She doesn't know what right or left handed means. One of Silvy's distinct characteristics is pacing when she's nervous. Also, when she meet someone new, she will either keep her chin tucked and protected or to the side and bared. If she holds the former position, she doesn't trust/like someone. If it's the latter, she trusts that person completely. Her most annoying habit is gnawing bones. Even in human form, it's like a pacifier for her to gnaw bones. The sound of teeth on bone is grating! Silvy has never seen a tattoo or piercing.
Occupations :
Actively looking for friends and a bondmate is Silvy's only occupation If Silvy had a choice, she would be fully wolf or fully human. She admires music and anyone who can make music, whether its a bird or a musician, instrument or voice. Weapon making with metals is a smelly and loud occupation that Silvy avoids.
Childhood :
As a child, Silvy was (and still remains) friendly, playful, compassionate and earnest. Her favorite and worst moment of childhood was her first change into a wolf. She was terrified at the vast differences and ashamed at her weaker, slower human side. She resents that she must be in human form to speak, when she's feeling things most passionately. Silvy has never met her parents and has known only the kindness of her foster mother. Ellyssaryan was her role model growing up. She was a kind and gentle old druid woman who taught Silvy to respect all forms of nature and animals.
Education :
This young Kelvic has no formal education. She can neither read nor write any language. Her learning was entirely verbal. Silvy has a strong understanding of animal habits, tracks, nature and habitat. She loves learning new things, but has never opened a book in her short life. Ellyssaryan taught Silvy for almost 6 months. Singing, herbalism, tracking, skinning, hunting, and a bit of herbalism. She learns best by listening to someone and she has a natural aptitude for singing. Silvy has no defined goals for her educational future. She simply doesn't look or plan that far ahead.

My Bondmate Varian Snowsong! He is my other half and now I am complete! May I share our moment with you? Varian had to write this for me as I cannot make the pictures he calls words on paper...yet. I love you Varian. I didn't know I was looking, until I found you.
Our Bond
**He stopped here. She had said a word that he wasn’t really familiar with.
„What does bonding mean, Silvy?“ he wanted to know. 'How can he not know what Bonding is? And how do I explain what I don't fully understand for myself?!' She thought intently.
The young woman brought her face to within a hair's breadth of his and looked into his amazing eyes. She touched a delicate finger tip to his mouth, feeling the texture of his full lower lip.
"Bonding is to be the answer to the questions, to complete the other half, for him to see what she sees, for her to hear what he hears, to...feel everything together until sometimes there is no separation and we are truly one."
Suddenly she saw herself in startling color! No words can describe starting out color blind and then seeing the glory of a sunset! She felt the ache of Varian's heart and mind and comforted them with her own. Silvy replaced the finger on his lips with her own mouth, and something yearned within her for more. The woman closed her eyes and felt the mesh, the bonding as one person finally becoming complete.
Her heart beat for his, and she opened her mind, her body, her everything to Varian, no corner left hidden. She opened her shining silver eyes and saw herself through his.
"This. This is bonding Varian."
Maybe everything would be better if he had somebody like her, if he could feel what she felt, if he could see what she saw.
Maybe if you combined somebody that was half alive with somebody like her, that was more than alive, maybe the result would be perfect then, a perfect kind of bond. For a moment it almost seemed to him as if he could feel it, as if he could see everything through her eyes. For a moment it seemed to him as if he could feel the blood pulsing through her veins, the warmth of her skin. He could smell everything, the snow, the hint of the wolf within her, his own slightly unpleasant scent, death mixed with a hint of perfume. He could hear her heart beat.
He could feel it as she touched his lips. He could feel both her soft, warm skin and his cold one, and he didn’t ask why, why she was doing this to him, a dead man, how she could make him feel this way. It just seemed perfect, natural, as if this was how it was meant to be. „This is it then?“ he asked, amazed. „Will it always be this way?“
As the bond started to overtake them, for just a brief moment, Silvy's eyes whirled as a Vantha's would. Silvy reveled in the feel of Varian's mind, the depths of his strong emotions, his hundreds of vivid memories all open to her all at once.
Silvy didn't know the answer to that question.
"I don't know Varian, but I hope it will last for eternity."
With this she held him close to her, both of them sharing her racing heartbeat until it really did become one heart, together. She blinked her silver eyes and saw the startlingly handsome Vantha in full color again! His eyes, his mouth, his skin--it had so much---color! The young woman could only think of one way to express herself to him.
She closed her eyes and kissed him fervently as she shared all of her being with Varian. She could taste the tender sweetness of their first kiss; The Bond forever melded in their shared memory. **
