Personality: Sila doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She is sweet, adorable, and fairly convinced that the world is essentially good. A bit of a chatterbox, Sila loves company, and feels incredibly uncomfortable if she is not with at least two other people. Her memory is not the best thing in the world, so she often leaves pencil cases or notebooks at various places around Solstice, which leaves her awful (in her opinion) poetry available for almost everyone to read. She loves the world, and is known to stop her friends in the middle of walking or a conversation to point out a crack in the wall or the way the leaves are falling. Sila finds it difficult to stay on one topic, but she does try.

While she has an endless amount of optimism for the human race, she is aware of it's imperfections. This is partially because she has a tendency to get herself in the middle of every sticky situation within a five mile radius. It is also because she is aware that she herself is not perfect. Sila occasionally abuses her powers, and has a nasty habit of lying when she's scared. She is trying very hard to get over these character traits, but sometimes she acts without even realizing what she's doing.

Special Ability: "Ease". Anyone who hears Sila speak knows that she is an honest, trustworthy individual, and they feel like they should be the same around her. Her ability is triggered by her voice, and makes the listener feel very comfortable. She can calm people just by talking to them (although the angrier they are, the longer it takes) and can cause people to put aside their differences if she's mediating. Also, it is very hard for people to lie when talking to Sila. This doesn't work with pathological liars or people who just don't care who they hurt, but average people tend to not see the need to tell her falsehoods, since she seems like such a great confidante. Her abilities are only triggered if she is speaking, and can be negated if someone were to actively try to resist it.

Physical Description: Sila is about an inch or two shorter than the "average" height for her age, andon the lower border of a healthy weight. She has a slight build, and it's quite obvious that she is not an athelete. Her arms are long and skinny, as are her legs. She is generally skinny, but has a hint of curves around her hips and upper torso, and while she isn't heavily endowed, she isn't lacking either. Sila has smooth, light almond skin that thankfully isn't that oily.

Sila's face is short, squat, and round. She has chubby cheeks, a pointed chin that saves her from looking like a pug, and a wide forehead that also helps. Her eyebrows are thick, and arch over deep, kind-looking brown eyes. Her lips are thick, which makes her smile look even better, and along with her eyes are the first thing people look at. Her nose is fairly squat, but is also fairly small. Sila's small, rounded ears are not often seen under her dark black hair, but can sometimes be spotted if her hair is up.
