Silva of Crystal Peak

Silva of Crystal Peak

Species: Butterfly (?)

Design based on: Green hairstreak butterfly

Silva was found by Gambit at the Crossroads as a baby. She was taken to Crystal Peaks where Gambit worked as a demolition expert among other miners during the active times of the crystal mines. There, Gambit and the kind miners helped raise Silva under family like environment, teaching her several basic life skills and crafts.

As a child, Silva met Taka the dream master in one of her dreams and they started talking about meditation. He guided her to search and find one of the Crystal Hearts lost among the crystal clusters. With it, she was able to contact him easier so Taka could properly teach her to meditate.

Rham was also a person she grew up with. As a fighter at the Colosseum of Fools, Rham thought Silva how to close combat, wrestle and pack a punch. Being Gambit’s close friend, he visited the mines and trained Silva while he was there. He eventually gifted her the basic armor and gauntlets. Later, Silva would adjust them to work with her Crystal Heart.

When the infection struck the mines, she quickly lost almost everyone she knew. Gambit succumbed to it as well, falling off the Crown of Hallownest which was a devastating blow for Silva. She stuck around the mines because Rham told her the outside was too dangerous at the time, spending a little more of her life locked up in the mines with infected miners but safely away from them. She learned to deal with loneliness, finding safe routes around the mines and even step out to visit Dirthmouth.

Eventually, Silva learned about the existence of Teacher’s Archives and decided to search for a solution to infection on her own, hoping to at least put the miners at rest. She left Crystal Peak, finding her route through the Greenpath where she met Yonna, a wingless moth and Pilgrim (Pim) and Traveler (Trav) the vessels. Traveling, talking, meditating and fighting with them, the group grew close and Silva and Yonna eventually even fell in love, finding each other fulfilling in their lonely travels, mending each others trauma’s and now slowly growing together…
