Silver

Silver, age 19, is a secondary character in Half Gift, and the main love interest for Arabella in the story. Silver is also a fully gifted shielder who has little practice with shielding but manages to do alright as the need arises. Throughout the story Silver shows a knack for many different skills; piloting ships, gifts, masts, and reading maps among many others. His 'jack of all trades' and relaxed carefree spirit make him an indispensable crew member to Jargosfin, and an all around likable guy. Silver initially finds Arabella lacking in areas of self sufficiency, but realizes as he comes to know her better that she is stronger and more capable than she looks, and he grows to accept her.

Personality:
Silver is very sure of himself and of his capabilities, resulting in a humorous arrogance that both gets him into scrapes and helps him out of them. He likes to be able to do things on his own, and is bad at asking for help from anyone, especially Arabella. He is a talented showman, able to think on his feet fast, and downright hilarious when he wants to be.

Physical Appearance
Silver has tousled brown hair that is cut short to meet with ship rules, but he grows out just enough to be a small rebellion. He has light, teasing green eyes that are generally hiding some form of mischief, and calloused hands from working on ropes. Having worked on ships his whole life, Silver is built muscularly and has strong arm and leg muscles capable of rowing great distances and scurrying across rope nimbly. He generally wears plain brown garb with the extra layers of a ship crewmate.
