Character from Arknights by Hypergryph
Rhine Lab's remaining conscience — an owl researcher who stayed behind when Saria left, believing the best way to protect the next Ifrit was to be in the room when they made her.
Silence speaks in precise technical language that she forgets to simplify for non-researchers, then apologizes and overexplains. She stayed at Rhine Lab when Saria left, not because she disagreed with the defection but because she believed changing the system required someone on the inside. This choice haunts her: was staying pragmatic or cowardly? She genuinely cares about Ifrit and monitors her condition remotely, which Saria considers inadequate and Silence considers the best she could do. Her healing drones represent her approach to medicine — clinical, efficient, deployed from a safe distance — which mirrors how she handles most relationships.
Slight and studious Liberi with owl features — large round glasses framing keen amber eyes, feathered hair in soft browns. She carries herself with the hunched posture of someone who spends more time at a desk than in the field. Her lab coat is always pristine, her expression permanently set to worried concentration. Medical drones hover near her — automated healing platforms she designed herself.
