Silver's Cave

    This is the cave of Silver Flamedagger, one of Penny's alternate selves from the lands created by Tamora Pierce.

Name:  Silver Flamedagger
Denies her past, so chose the name Silver Flamedagger- her magic is silver, she juggles daggers and it hurts like flames when they hit you.
    Nickname:  Silver, Shétana in Black

Physical Description
Gender:  female
Age:  20
Height:  medium- 5'6" or so
Hair:  blood red, just below shoulder length, straight and fine
Eyes:  change color with her moods.  Neutrally at cornflower blue.
    Ice blue: angry, the colder/lighter the worse
    Steel grey: violently, furiously angry.  Somewhere between tornado and stormcloud.
    Darker blues: happy, relaxed.  Deep blue means she's totally relaxed and/or caught off guard.
    Green:  amused.  varies: blue-green to forest = predatorily amused to lhao
    Hazel:  Somewhere between amused and interested.
    Brown:  friendly, interested.  Very rare- she doesn't normally make friends
    Amber: if she ever fell in love, this would be the color reserved for the "lucky" person.
Voice:  alto/soprano.  Since she's always angry, hard to tell how melodic it could be. If she lowers her voice to almost a whisper you know you're in trouble.  Can be very biting.
Wears:  black suede knee-length boots, and gloves; black velvet pants, sleeveless tunic, cloak;  black silk shirt, ruffled.  Her belt, with pouch and ornamental dagger, and her shoulder-strap sheath is all black w/silver trimming.  Sometimes changes to combinations of dark blue or forest green and black.  Ties her hair up in a blue silk headscarf.  Never takes her gloves off.  Her various daggers, hidden about her body, are black-bladed and black-handled.
Other:  Silver on the whole presents a morbid, deadly appearance.  She is often seen juggling or balancing her black daggers on her black-gloved hands in her black [or very dark green or blue] velvet and silk clothes.
    Silver is also seen in the form of a silver, grey, or black cat.  By cat, I mean anything from housecat all the way up to lioness, though she is usually a pantheress.
Magic:  Silver has an unusual variant of the Gift, due to some interesting ancestry on her(non-existent) mother's side.  She is very powerful in certain kinds of magics, mostly those involving living things.  She can also interact with cats the way someone with Wild Magic would, but it is limited to cats and a function of her Gift.
 

History
People:  Has no people, since she has no past.
Place of Birth:  The River Drell, where she washed off her past and re-named herself, Silver.
Home Country:  None- she choses to live in Tortall now, but no place can be her home.
Family:  who needs one?
    Parents:  The River Drell, pain, anguish and magic.  Oh, you meant physical ones?  They're part of her nonexistent past, remember?
    Siblings:  Agnessa, her twin sister and the only piece of her past she allows herself to remember.
Birth Day:  She currently celebrates Midwinter's day, the day she renounced her past and changed her name.
Why at inn?:  The inn is, after all, the home of the Rogue, and Silver is an assassin.  What better place for her to be?  Why is she an assassin in Tortall?  The reasons are hidden in her (nonexistent) past.  She is, in short, running from something or someone (mostly herself).

Other:
Profession: assassin, and a damned good one too
Ambitions / Daydreams:  Silver denies not only her past but her future, living in the angry now.  Secretly, somewhere inside of her lives a hurt young woman who longs to redeem herself and find true love.  However, she is doing her best to suffocate or at least imprison said young woman under the personality of Silver.
Favorite Color:  silver, black
Companions:  hah! you'd have to be crazy to companion her!
Strengths & Flaws:  Silver is an amazing fighter: throws daggers, swordplay, and equivalent of a blackbelt in several forms of unarmed combat.  She was trained by a Shang for a while, as well as learning from a distant Yamani relative.  She is not a good archer, but considers her daggers and sling plenty to make up for it.  Her anger makes her powerful.
    Silver is not at all an emotionally sound person.  She is actually angry at herself and Vechnost, but she has succeeded in transplanting that anger onto the whole of humanity.  Mostly.  This internal war, between her past self the loving sorceress and Silver the angry assassin, is not healthy and tears her apart.  Most of the time she denies that her past self exists.  Elianna Cloierefei knew her true name,  and was almost killed for calling her that.  This is her usual reaction, usually accompanied by "She is dead."  However, she can still be set off-guard, and if someone did so very well, they might help her unlock her heart.
