The next members of House Silva's next generation are the children of Solid and his wife Holly Whitmore (who I will describe alongside the children).
Their children are Eirlys and Ferro.
..........
Holly Whitmore
Solid's wife via an arranged marriage that became a romance.
Her name comes from the holly plant.
Age (at the beginning of the series): 20 (she's two years older than Solid)
Birthday: June 29
Magic Attribute: Snow.
Appearance: pure white hair like freshly fallen snow. It's quite long, reaching past her hips, but she normally keeps it all tucked up in a bun. Her eyes are indigo colored (curse you picrew limitations).
Personality: Holly is quiet and a bit closed off but cordial first and foremost. She's very slow to anger as well; she can be upset but it takes a while for her negativity to build to a point where she can't hold it back. She's polite, mostly for appearance's sake as taught to her by her family, but she genuinely respects kind people, those who instinctively smile at others. She hides her own warmth as her family called it "weakness" in the cutthroat world of nobles and politics. Her kindness mainly shows in the way she's willing to let people have any many second chances as they need to improve. People are always changing after all. She encourages people to try and to be honest with their efforts.
She agreed to marry Solid to get away from her family who openly saw her as a pawn for their own political gain. (Yes she was giving them what they wanted but at least she’d be living in House Silva and not House Whitmore.)
At first, Holly and Solid were awkward. Holly only really spent time with Solid when necessary (like a formal gala as his partner). And when Solid opened his mouth and said dumb things, Holly walked away. Solid, meanwhile, was pretty ambivalent to Holly. He thought she was just like the rest of her family, marrying him for status alone.
Solid eventually confronted Holly about her avoiding him and she told him “Neither of us actually want this marriage so let’s spare ourselves and minimize our contact.” It became clear that Holly wasn’t a gold digger but it was also clear she lacked interest in her future husband. A very annoyed Solid talked to his siblings about it and they all agreed that he had to try and make the marriage worthwhile. Cue Solid making very clumsy attempts to court Holly. He is smart and gets her flowers as his first gift as she’s very often in the garden (with Nozel and Helia). Solid messed up more often then not but the attempts in and of themselves warmed Holly’s heart. Solid found himself falling for Holly as she took a chance and opened up to him, showing a hidden warmth she hid because of her cold upbringing.
The marriage ended up being a happy one.
She likes flowers, particularly hollies (her namesake) and snowdrop flowers. She gets along with Helia as a result of this.
Eirlys Silva
Her name is Welsh for the snowdrop flower. Holly picked out the name since the snowdrop is her favorite flower.
Age: 13
Birthday: June 29
Magic Attribute: Snow.
Appearance: Silver hair like her father which she styles into pigtails and ties with ribbons. Her eyes are indigo like her mother's (again, limitations of picrew).
Personality: Eirlys is a quiet girl and peaceful girl, like Holly, but a little more willing to socialize. Although by "socialize," Eirlys usually means reading a book or working through a puzzle book while sitting with other people. Eirlys knows how to converse but she just likes the presence of people around her. She has trouble standing out compared to her cousins. Skylar's intelligence, Fleur's strength, Filomina's cuteness, etc. Her cousins all stand out in some way. Even Ferro is known for his boldness. However she is at least considered the pinnacle of a noble lady with how well-mannered she is. What she thinks of that judgement of her… She would nod and say "I'm glad people think well of me," making all her cousins look at each others and thinking "is she shading us?" She's got a "go with the flow" sort of attitude which, unfortunately, makes her passive at times. She does have likes (she has her own personal library and has completed so many activity books) but she has yet to have something truly light a fire under her.
Despite how chaotic they are, Eirlys gets along with everyone in House Silva (aunts, uncles, and cousins). Her favorite cousin is Aimee though with Elana as a very close second.
Eirlys doesn't have any interest in being a Magic Knight. She becomes an author instead with her primary genre being mystery novels with a dabble of historical fiction.
Ferro Silva
His name is Latin for "iron." Solid gave him the name because he wanted his son to be as strong and resilient as the metal. It's also to honor Acier's metal-based magic.
Age: 9
Birthday: November 18
Magic Attribute: Ice.
Appearance: Pure white hair like his mother's which is always kept short. His parents try to make sure his hair is neatly combed but he always finds a way to get it messed up. His eyes are purple, which isn't an exact match for either parent but it runs in the Silva family.
Personality: Ferro is a courageous and bold little guy. He's not easily deterred from a challenge and has a fascination with danger. Though thankfully he tends to only observe danger rather than participate in it… Tends to… Ferro is also quite honest with his thoughts, to his parents' embarrassment. Boldness + honesty means a lot of angry nobles when a little kid points out how they're definitely only being nice to his parents to get in their good graces. Ferro's strong attitude also comes across in his temper; short and explosive.
Ferro's got a rivalry complex with Naru and strongly dislikes Alfred and Jesse. He's got a great fondness for Elana who teaches him fun words to make adults mad, like "hauteur" and "impertinent." He likes saying those words to people who bother his parents. He's met Clara and would like to be friends with her but she isn't all that interested in a friendship.
Ferro would become a Silver Eagle like his father before him.
