Silene was born blind, having never known the world through sight. Yet, she never considered herself unfortunate. From a young age, she learned to experience the world through sounds, scents, and the gentle touch of the breeze.
Her life changed when she encountered a peculiar jellyfish. Rather than drifting away like any ordinary sea creature, it stayed by her side, eventually forming an unusual bond with her. Through their connection, the jellyfish became her eyes, allowing her to perceive the world in ways she had never imagined. It rarely leaves her, often resting comfortably atop her head like a living hat.
With her newfound companion, Silene grew into a carefree and curious wanderer. She carries herself with effortless elegance, speaking in a gentle voice and often teasing those around her with a knowing smile. She rarely appears troubled, even in unfamiliar situations, and has a peculiar habit of making others wonder just how much she actually knows.
Beneath her playful demeanour, however, lies a deep fascination with the natural world, particularly the mysteries of the sea. To Silene, the ocean is more than a place — it is a living, breathing world filled with secrets waiting to be discovered.
And perhaps, somewhere beneath its endless depths, there are still things even her little companion cannot see.
