<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;For other uses of the word &#039;&#039;&#039;silver&#039;&#039;&#039; see [[Silver|here]]&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Silver&#039;&#039;&#039; is an inhabitant of the planet [[Shand]], and is a sociologist, comparative <br /> historian, linguist and animal meat herder (the Shandi being firm believers in<br /> multiskilling). About three metres high and looking like a cross between a [[Wikipedia:bear|bear]] <br /> and a [[Wikipedia:walrus|walrus]], it is for her linguistic abilities that [[Jago Jalo]]<br /> hires her on their trip to the Discworld. Silver is able to remove her Shand tusks to be able to converse better in alien languages which require more precise use of sibilants. Tusks are a status symbol for adult Shand: having had hers replaced by artificial ones that she can unscrew at need (or she would otherwise have a serious [[Igor]]-like lisp) is a major sacrifice proving how dedicated she is to her profession as linguist and diplomat.<br /> <br /> Shandi can only survive for about two days without food before turning into ravenous beasts, <br /> so when their [[Dumbwaiter|food replicator]] is destroyed it gives [[Kin Arad|Kin]] and [[Marco Farfarer|Marco]] a lot of motivation to find a replacement quickly. Like all [[Book:Strata|Strata]] characters, Silver only appears in this one book.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Strata characters]]<br /> [[Category:Leading characters]]</div>
