12 Silence facts YOU may not know about!

1) Her full name was meant to be "Olivia Hermer" (赫默 "hèmò" in chinese), and her codename was "Silent". But due to inconsistencies, she became Olivia Silence outside of the chinese version, where she is named Hermer. This can be seen in the official artbook.

2) She is able to shapeshift her arms into wings, as confirmed by her designer, NoriZC. This can be seen in the artbook, but also in her Lacquer and Frosted Breath skins.

3) Silence used to be able to summon three drones rather than one. Their range were also different, being 4x3 rather than 3x3.

4) Her earlier design shows her without an infection monitor, and without infection at all.

5) The symbol of Rhine Lab was supposed to be ressembling of an owl, surely in reference to Silence, who might have been supposed to play a bigger role.

6) She is one of the very few characters to have a base animation on her default skin.

7) On her default skin, when used in battle, her plumicorns (the tufts on her head) become longer. This is something that has been changed on her skins, where they are the same size in both the base and battle sprites.

8) She is often shown winking on official art, especially on NoriZC's art. This is a reference to how owls blink one eye at a time to keep their vision when blinking.

9) Silence the Paradigmatic hasn't been illustrated by NoriZC's, her creator, but by Juri Jiuhao.

10) It appears that she used to have telekinesis Arts in the earliest versions, but it has never been shown again.

11) Her illustrator, NoriZC, has designed a Fakemon version of her, as well as Saria and Ifrit, where she is a Plant/Flying Pokemon.
