The Magic Knight Squad associated with the House of Silva.


  • Alpha Bastard: Aside from the members of the Silver Eagles, the older Silva siblings have the tendency to be more prideful towards non-royals. While it's not the first on the rankings like the Golden Dawn, the Silver Eagles is one of the top-ranked squads led by unpleasant nobles who look down on commoners and peasants, including their own youngest sister for the worst part!
  • Animal Motifs: Eagles. They are a proud group who take pride in their status as nobility and royalty. Nozel, the captain, forms an eagle out of his Mercury Magic. Their outfits also have extensions resembling feathers.
  • Anime Hair: Unlike Noelle and Acier, Nozel, Nebra, and Solid each have weird and unusual hairstyles.
  • Aristocrat Team: The Silver Eagles are an elite group of Magic Knights. Founded and run by the highborn Silva family, the Silver Eagles have high standards and only allow nobles into their ranks, seeing anyone of lower class to not being worth the effort.
  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: A trait they share with most nobles. They are very prideful of their magic and can't handle the idea that commoners or peasants can be good with magic.
  • Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Noelle's older siblings may not have been the nicest of all people when they were young, but it soon becomes clear that they do love each other, as evident when Nozel teams up with Noelle to fight the elves after the latter decides to help them and later when Solid tells her to join her friends.
  • Badass Family: The squad is led by members of the Silva family. All of them are tough-as-nails badasses.
  • Big Brother Bully: Noelle's older siblings took their time tormenting her during their childhood, pushing the guilt for their mother's death on her and ridiculing her lack of magic competence. Nozel forbade her from taking the Magic Knights Entrance Exam and forced her into the Black Bulls so as to not shame the family publicly. Solid would often destroy her things and slap away her food when they were kids. Big Sister Bully Nebra regarded Noelle as an unwanted guest at the banquet ceremony because she was exiled from the House Silva. Nozel's actions are Justified in Chapter 176 as not only he did he not want to have Noelle disappear from his sight, but he kept her off the front lines all because he was concerned that Noelle wouldn't become powerful enough to defend herself.
  • Big, Screwed-Up Family: The reason why the Silvas became a dysfunctional family is because of Acier's death. When she died giving birth to Noelle, her older siblings mocked her for indirectly causing their mother's death as well as her Power Incontinence. Even then, Solid went so far as to destroy Noelle's toys. They would have been killed by the elves if Noelle had not been compassionate enough to help them.
  • Black Sheep: Although Noelle is considered one to her family due to lacking control of her Water Magic and being the "reason" of Acier's death, her siblings are truly the ones who tormented their White Sheep sister prior to the Elf Reincarnation Arc.
  • Break the Haughty: They don't seem to be taking their defeat to the Black Bulls in the ranking very well, especially Solid. They are also surprised when Nozel sincerely apologizes to Noelle in Chapter 176.
  • Color Motif: Silver. The squad is led by the royal Silva family.
  • Dysfunctional Family: They are first shown as dysfunctional, through Noelle being constantly mocked by her older siblings for causing their mother's death and failing to control her powers, Solid destroying Noelle's toys when she was young and Nozel purposefully keeping Noelle out of the front lines. Fortunately, Noelle helping her siblings fight the elves and Nozel reconciling with her brings them all closer together.
  • Family Business: The Silver Eagles are led by the House of Silva. The squad was led by Acier, the Silva siblings' mother, and Nozel is the current captain.
  • Hate Sink: Aside from the White Sheep Noelle, the Silva family often tends to Kick the Dog at every opportunity. This is eventually subverted when Nozel apologizes to Noelle after she steps in to protect her siblings from the elves and later when Solid proudly acknowledges her for who she is. Although so far, neither Solid nor Nebra have yet to apologize to Noelle for having her go through her tragic childhood pained with mockery and abuse from them.
  • Heroic Lineage: The Silva siblings are the children of Acier Silva, a Magic Knight famed for her beauty and strength who trained Mereoleona. The Silva Family are also descendants of the first Wizard King, Lumiere Silvamillion Clover.
  • Hypocrite: While Nozel has a justified reason to show "contempt" for Noelle, Solid and Nebra are two of the Jerkass siblings who think that she is a living embarrassment for bringing shame to the Silva family by lacking control of her Water Magic while they truly tend to bring one to the family name themselves by openly humiliating and belittling her for years.
  • Jerkass: When they are first introduced, they all take the time to mock and laugh at Noelle for not controlling her magic very well in public.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: After the Silva family mocked Noelle for her entire life, they are easily defeated by the Black Bulls, of which Noelle is a part of. Even better, Nozel teams up with Noelle to protect her siblings from the elves and acknowledges her strength, and Solid later admits how proud he is of his younger sister.
  • Light Is Not Good: They all wear white uniforms and are initially not the nicest of people, save for Noelle.
  • Lineage Comes from the Father: Gender-Inverted. The Guidebook confirms that Acier was a Silva by birth, and she was the Captain of the Silver Eagles and a Magic Knight famed for her beauty and strength. The Silva siblings all inherited the house's characteristic silver hair from their mother. Their father, on the other hand, is never mentioned nor seen aside from a very brief flashback which doesn't even show his face.
  • Making a Splash: All members of the Silva family have inherited some variation of magic connected to either water or liquids. Nozel manipulates liquid mercury, Nebra uses Mist, and Solid uses Water.
  • Mystical White Hair: All the Silva siblings have white hair, and they're all royals blessed with large amounts of mana (although not as powerful as their youngest sister's or Yuno's).
  • Nom de Mom: The Guidebook confirms that Acier was a Silva by birth, while the Silva siblings' father married into the royal family.
  • Nominal Hero: How the Silva siblings portray as a trio of heroic Magic Knights from the Silver Eagles who are also egotistical and abusive to the point that they had no problems of bullying and humiliating Noelle shamelessly before the latter's big damn hero moment of saving them with Acier's Valkyrie Armor during the Elf Reincarnation arc.
  • Politically Incorrect Hero: Or at least on the good guys' side. Like most of the nobility, they look down on other people for being weaker or poorer than them.
  • Practically Different Generations: Nozel is 29 years old, and Nebra is 24 years old, both of which are much older than his younger siblings Solid and Noelle, who are 18 and 15 years old respectively.
  • Rich Bastard: The Silva family is rich due to their noble backgrounds, and in very contrast to the Vermillion family, they are infamously known for their arrogance and bad habit to disregard whoever's weak with their magic and/or status (especially Noelle). Despite that they are a Big, Screwed-Up Family, it's rather subverted due to the fact that the older Silva siblings do protect them as Magic Knights of the Clover Kingdom. This is also very downplayed with Acier and Nozel since they show genuine compassion and regards for Noelle, unlike Solid and Nebra.
  • The Rich Have White Stuff: The House of Silva are one of the royal families of the Clover Kingdom, and they have silver hair and wear mostly white clothing.
  • Royal Blood: All members of the Silva family are of royal lineage.
  • Royals Who Actually Do Something: Nozel is the squad's captain, and both Nebra and Solid have a lot of stars.
  • So Proud of You:
    • In Chapter 176, Nozel admits that he underestimated Noelle's strength when they protected their siblings from harm.
    • By Chapter 190, Solid acknowledges that Noelle has become stronger and tells her to come home soon after, accepting her for who she is.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: They all resemble their late mother to some degree. In particular, Noelle closely resembles Acier, albeit with a different hairstyle, while her older siblings each sport a messy, unusual hairstyle.
  • Thicker Than Water: Even though the older Silva siblings abused Noelle throughout their childhood, they eventually prove that they're not completely heartless. First, Nozel and Noelle join forces to help their siblings who are being attacked by the elves. And later, Solid acknowledges that he has come to accept Noelle for who she is, but he and Nebra have yet to apologize to her, unlike Nozel.
  • White Hair, Black Heart: Except for Noelle, all of the Silva siblings have white hair and cruel personalities, at first.
  • Would Hit a Girl: Even when they're grown up, Nozel and Solid have no problems of mocking Noelle. Well, until the Royal Knights Arc, at least.

    Acier Silva 

Acier Silva

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/acier_steel.png

Voiced by: Kana Yuuki (Japanese), Luci Christian (English)

Debut: Chapter 111 (Manga), Episode 71 (Anime)

Magic Attribute: Steel

"Let me tell you what the strongest thing in the world is. It's a mother protecting her children!!"

Noelle's deceased mother and former captain of the Silver Eagles.


  • Always Someone Better: Acier was this to Mereoleona as the latter never managed a single win against the former. Years after Acier's death, Mereoleona fondly reminisces on the former's power to Noelle.
  • Back from the Dead: She's one of the Paladins Lucius revived and brought with him in Judgement Day, much to the Silva household's horror.
  • Death by Childbirth: She died giving birth to her second daughter, Noelle. This loss, when coupled with Noelle's lack of magical skill in comparison to her siblings, understandably caused the Silva siblings to mock her for indirectly causing Acier's death. Except her death was actually caused by a devil's curse that will kill when its name is spoken.
  • Death by Origin Story: Her death impacted the Silva family so much that they prevented Noelle from joining the Silver Eagles and made her join the Black Bulls.
  • Deceased Parents Are the Best: She was shown to be a compassionate woman beloved by her children who died in childbirth, with Noelle's older siblings resenting her for it.
  • Extra-ore-dinary: Implied by her title "Steel War Princess" and her name meaning steel in French. Also, her picture looks like she is manipulating metal to form her armor and weapons and the fact that her oldest son's magic is Mercury, a.k.a. liquid metal.
  • Lady of War: Acier was beloved for her beauty and strength as the Steel War Princess, and Mereoleona described her as "taking to the battlefield as if she was dancing across it".
  • Like Mother, Like Daughter: Noelle looks identical to her, both in regards to her likeness and compassion towards others. Her other children, Nebra, Nozel and Solid, resemble her to various degrees. This is one of the reasons why Nozel didn't want to lose sight of her ever again.
  • Like Mother, Unlike Daughter:
    • Mereoleona states that Acier had unparalleled control and dignity over her magic, unlike Noelle whose magic control and caused major problems with her family; Nozel keeping Acier's death a secret from the rest of the Silvas did not help matters. She gradually develops better control, gaining a spell that clads her in a water armor highly reminiscent of her mother's steel armor.
    • Between Acier and her first-born daughter, Nebra has her purple eyes and white hair inherited from her mother. On one hand, Acier is as kind hearted as Noelle without her arrogance; on the other hand, Nebra is rather black-hearted for her tendency to mess with her sister for being a failure to the family name.
  • Mama Bear: Became significantly stronger and dealt Vanica a lethal wound after she took Noelle and Nozel hostage.
    "Let me tell you what the strongest thing in the world is. It's a mother protecting her children!!"
  • Meaningful Name: Her name is French for steel.
  • Missing Mom: Acier becomes one to the Silva siblings shortly after Noelle's childbirth resulted in her death.
  • Posthumous Character: She died after Noelle was born, but her legacy still affects the relationship between her children and is remembered fondly by those who knew her. Not only that, her death is also connected to devils and curses. Her freed soul hugs Nozel and Noelle after they defeat Megicula, complimenting them on having grown strong.
  • Red Baron: The Steel War Princess.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: She was only shown in flashbacks as she died shortly after Noelle's birth. Her kindness impacted the entire story — Noelle wouldn't have teamed up with the Black Bulls and be accepted for who she is, and she certainly would be compassionate enough to help her siblings whenever they're in serious trouble.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: Mereoleona was the Tomboy to Acier's Girly Girl, being a hostile, aggressive woman with a brutal, physical magic in contrast to Acier, a devoted mother renowned for her beauty and the grace and dignity of her magic.
  • Warrior Princess: Her title was "The Steel War Princess", and Mereoleona looked up to her as the only fighter who she could never defeat.
  • World's Strongest Woman: She was definitely in the running for this while alive, as current all-but-stated strongest woman Mereoleona states Acier was the Always Someone Better to her. Vanica states that she sought her out to fight because she was rumored to be the strongest anywhere. Notably, the reason she died was not due to battle, but a curse whose effects would kill someone regardless of their strength if it successfully works.

    Nozel Silva 

Nozel Silva

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bc_nozel_silva.png

Voiced by: Kosuke Toriumi (Japanese), Ricco Fajardo (English)note 

Debut: Chapter 2 (Manga), Episode 3 (Anime)

Magic Attribute: Mercury

"A peasant who defies the royals... How shall I pass judgment on you...?"

The oldest member of the Silva siblings and the captain of the Silver Eagles. He is a rude but competent man. He has a rivalry with Fuegoleon, the captain of the Crimson Lion Kings.

Uses Mercury Magic, which manipulates mercury in its liquid state.


  • Aloof Big Brother: To Noelle, who he disparaged for being unable to control her magic. It's later revealed he did so to protect her, not confident that she would become strong enough to become a powerful Magic Knight.
  • Animal Battle Aura: It takes the form of a blue eagle when he confronts Fuegoleon.
  • Animal Motifs: His magic takes the form of an eagle and he's captain of the Silver Eagles. He's an aloof and proud royal.
  • Anti-Regeneration: He uses his Mercury Magic to destroy Megicula's body and hamper it from regenerating by reacting with the devil's blood. This leaves only the devil's heart, which Noelle destroys while in Saint Stage for them to finally defeat the devil.
  • Beneath the Mask: A prideful royal and Aloof Big Brother on the outside, but held a deep guilt over his mother becoming fatally cursed to slowly die and unable to tell anyone or do anything about it, pushing Noelle away and distancing her from the fight because in reality he was afraid of losing her as well and saw himself as a useless coward with no right to involve himself in his little sister's life.
  • Best Served Cold: Thought about getting revenge against Megicula for 17 years after the devil fatally cursed Acier and he watched his mother die. All that time, he trained himself to become strong enough to get revenge. He finally gets it when he comes to the scene of Megicula's fight and defeats the devil with Noelle and frees their mother's soul.
  • Big Brother Instinct: In Chapter 176, as Noelle fights the elf, Nozel's first instinct is to raise his mercury barrier to protect the rest of his siblings and join forces with the youngest of the Silva siblings for good. In Chapter 222, he didn't tell his family the truth of the real cause of their mother's death because the devil's curse will kill them if they find out.
  • Big Damn Heroes:
    • Him, Charlotte, and Jack arrive just in time to save some of the Black Bulls from the Third Eye's combined attack and help fight against them.
    • Nozel saves Asta and Yuno from a giant light blast from Patry, who had been turned into a dark elf, with a mercury barrier and restrains him soon after.
    • Just as the Black Bulls are about to fight Damnatio at the Magic Parliament trial, Nozel and Fuegoleon stop them, delivering Julius's message that the Black Bulls will go into exile to investigate the devils, saving Asta and Nero from execution in the meantime.
    • Arrives atop his mercury eagle protecting Noelle from Megicula and expresses his desire for revenge against the devil, fully intent on joining the fight.
  • Blue Is Heroic: Has blue mana and a grimoire and is a Magic Knight. Zigzagged given what a cold hearted Jerkass he was at his introduction, but ultimately played straight after he Took a Level in Kindness.
  • Brother–Sister Team: With Noelle to defeat Megicula, with Nozel using his Mercury Magic to destroy the devil's flesh and Noelle destroying her heart, freeing their mother Acier's soul.
  • Character Development: Goes from looking down on peasants like most royals to acknowledging Asta, even calling him a rival for the position of Wizard King.
  • Death from Above: He can unleash raindrops of mercury as projectiles.
  • Elemental Barrier: Using his Mercury Magic he can form a spherical one large enough to protect and carry multiple people simultaneously.
  • Expository Hairstyle Change: Flashbacks reveal that he braided his bangs into the shape of a cross modeled after his mother's grave to remind himself to become stronger after she was cursed to die by Megicula and he was unable to do anything about it.
  • Extra-ore-dinary: Nozel uses Mercury Magic, forming liquid mercury that he can shape however he wants. He can even compress it enough to turn it into a smooth surface to reflect Light Magic.
  • Fire/Water Juxtaposition: Fuegoleon and Nozel have had an intense rivalry since they were children which remains even as adults. Fuegoleon uses Flame Magic to form a lion and large fire blasts. Nozel uses Mercury Magic, liquid metal, to form an eagle and shape into many different forms. Fuegoleon is a warm and hot-blooded person, having his moments of hamminess, who judges someone for their worth and not their social status. Nozel is a cold individual, aloof towards even his family, who has the arrogance of royalty.
  • Foil: To Fuegoleon. Whereas Fuegoleon is a flame magic user, connected to warm colors and is a Cool Big Bro to the members of his team, Nozel uses metallic liquid as a form of magic, is connected to cold colors, especially silver, and is an Aloof Big Brother to his younger siblings and squad members at best, and at worst, he's abusive to Noelle.
  • The Force Is Strong with This One: As a royal and captain of a Magic Knights squad, he has immense magical power, generating an intense pressure that intimidates Asta when he faces off with Fuegoleon.
  • Freudian Excuse: He only acted indifferently towards Noelle as not only did he not want the latter to disappear from his sight again but he purposefully kept her off the front lines, because he was concerned that she wouldn't get any stronger. Later on, it's revealed that there's another reason for this: their mother actually died from a devil's curse and saying the devil's name will kill their family. Nozel is the only family member who knows this which is why he kept this a secret from his siblings, with his family assuming that Acier died from the aftereffects of childbirth. Nozel, keeping this secret to himself for years, cursed himself as a coward and thought that he wasn't worthy enough to be in Noelle's life. Dorothy is only other people who knows this thanks to the immunity of her Dream Magic.
  • Good Is Not Soft: After restraining Patry, he immediately tries to kill him until Asta stops him.
  • Hand Blast: His spell Silver Shining Regal Spear unleashes a beam from his palm that can slice through rock.
  • Has a Type: According to the Volume 18 Questions Brigade, he is attracted to someone with a dignified strength who would give their all for the prosperity of the House of Silva.
  • Heroic Self-Deprecation: Underneath his noble, snobbish demeanor is a deep self-loathing for being unable to do anything as his mother died from her curse, seeing himself as a weakling and coward for doing anything.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice:
    • Kivn catches him off guard and stabs him with her compass needles. He gets better soon after by reinforcing his body with his magic.
    • In Judgement Day, he is impaled in the chest by the Paladin Acier's lance.
  • Improbable Hairstyle: He has a braid made out of his bangs that hangs between his eyes. Lampshaded by Yami, who sarcastically asks him how he has the time to braid it in the morning.
  • It's Personal: He vows to make the Eye of the Midnight Sun pay for heavily injuring Fuegoleon, his rival.
  • Jerkass Has a Point:
    • When Asta is kidnapped, he makes a sound point that with the town being attacked, the Magic Knights don't have the resources to drop everything to save another person and that they now need to prepare for another attack instead.
    • While Noelle protects the rest of the Silva siblings in Chapter 176, Nozel admitted that he didn't want her to disappear from his sight again, all because he was concerned that she wouldn't become powerful enough to defend herself. There's also the fact that he didn't tell Noelle about Megicula cursing Acier to death because if he did he will actually get infllicted by the same curse that killed his mother.
  • Jerkass Realization: He realizes what a jerk he has been to Noelle and how wrong he was in assuming she wouldn't grow strong in Chapter 176 after she shows up to help her siblings against the elf.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite his cold behavior towards Noelle, it becomes clear he deeply loves his sister, as shown when Noelle teams up with him to fight the elves and protect their siblings.
  • Like Father, Unlike Son: Of all Acier's children he's the only one to inherit her metal attribute, rather than his father's Water Magic.
  • Long-Haired Pretty Boy: A slender, attractive royal with long white hair kept in an elaborate hairstyle.
  • Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: He can form many shields out of mercury as defenses.
  • Meaningful Name: Nozel is Hebrew for liquid, and he uses liquid mercury to fight.
  • Noble Demon: When Nebra and Solid begin prodding and scorning Mimosa's family and the Golden Dawn after Asta is kidnapped and Leo is maimed, he silences them by pointing out that their misfortune was partially the Silver-Winged Great Eagle's fault for not being prepared for such an occasion. Later, he even reconciles with Noelle and helps their family fight the elves.
  • Not So Above It All:
    • Despite his attitude of superiority as a royal, he still insults Yami and gets annoyed when Yami and Asta discuss his hair.
    • He's very annoyed when the Black Bulls beat the Silver Eagles in the rankings, and gets ticked off when Yami brags about it.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
    • For all his stoicism, he's very surprised when the Black Bulls get second in the squad rankings, beating his own squad.
    • A blushing Nozel apologizes to Noelle for being wrong, thinking that she couldn't grow strong and trying to distance her from the battlefield as a result by acting cold to her and rejecting her from the Silver Eagles. All his siblings are surprised, what with his usually cold, proud demeanor.
  • Personality Powers: Pretty much stated by Acier:
    "You have the strength of steel, and the flexibility of water."
  • Revenge: His angry expression and words towards Megicula for killing his mother are very much this:
    "How dare you show yourself in front of my family again. You have no idea how long I've waited for this moment!!"
  • Pretty Boy: Slender features combined with meticulously styled long hair. According to the Volume 12 Questions Brigade, he is the fourth most beautiful man among the characters.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Nozel is the aloof Blue Oni to Solid's overconfident Red Oni.
  • The Rival: He's had a rivalry with Fuegoleon since they were kids.
  • Secret-Keeper: He is one of the few people who knows that Megicula cursed Acier to death.
  • Shaping Your Attacks: Even moreso than other mages. Thanks to mercury being liquid metal and Nozel's sheer precision with his magic, he can shape it with great versatility. He's been seen using it to form spears, shields, bullets, swords, an eagle, and a giant cage.
  • Single Tear: Sheds one along with Noelle after their freed mother's soul hugs them after they defeat Megicula, complimenting them on having grown strong.
  • Spontaneous Weapon Creation: He can use his Mercury Magic to form many blades and spears from liquid metal.
  • Storm of Blades: He can form multiple swords out of mercury and control them simultaneously.
  • Strong and Skilled: He's noted to have greater mana than Yami and also has very precise control over his mercury magic, freely shaping it however he needs for offense, defense, ranged and melee combat, and is capable of reinforcing his body after being stabbed.
  • This Cannot Be!: The look on his face when the Black Bulls beat them in the rankings just screams this.
  • Token Good Teammate: Aside from being a condescending Jerkass among lowly peasants, Nozel has a justified reason as to why he acted cold-hearted to Noelle, and he often reprimanded Solid for his shameless actions such as attacking Asta at the Royal Capital for defending Noelle and his future goal to become the next Wizard King.
  • Underestimating Badassery: In Chapter 176, he tells Noelle that he completely underestimated how strong she has become as part of their reconciliation.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: In Chapter 176, he admits to Noelle that he purposefully stopped Noelle from joining the Silver Eagles and forced her to join the Black Bulls because she heavily resembled Acier and he didn't want Noelle to disappear from his sight again. Then comes The Reveal in Chapter 222 that he did all this to protect his siblings from knowing the devil's curse that really killed their mother because it will kill them if they know.
  • Worf Had the Flu: Nozel's Mercury Magic revolves around precision and fine control of his Mercury. As a result, he is at a huge disadvantage against Kivn, whose spell Another Atlas disrupts all the mana underneath the giant compass formed. Noelle has to flood the area to make her stop the spell, but Nozel gets stabbed when caught off-guard, forcing him and his siblings to rely on their younger sister to defeat the elf.

    Nebra Silva 

Nebra Silva

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bc_nebra_silva.png

Voiced by: Yurika Aizawa (Japanese), Mallorie Rodak (English)note 

Debut: Chapter 2 (Manga), Episode 4 (Anime)

Magic Attribute: Mist

A smug and overconfident woman, and is quick to laugh at people. Nebra is the first daughter of the Silva family.

Uses Mist Magic, capable of manipulating mist to create clones and contain her enemies.


  • Animal Motifs: Spiders. She forms webs out of mist and is an unpleasant woman who likes toying with her enemies.
  • Beauty Is Bad: Nebra is beautiful yet unpleasant noblewoman who treated commoners (including her own sister Noelle and the Black Bulls) differently.
  • Beta Bitch: A blood-related example. Nebra is this to younger brother Solid whenever they take their time together to torment Noelle.
    • She is also this to her older brother and squad captain Nozel whenever he's present to look down on anyone who is far from superior.
    Nebra: You were as good as banished from House Silva for being an abject failure. How dare you come waltzing back into the noble realm is if you belong?
    Noelle: Nebra, please stop this.
  • Bitch Alert: Nebra's character introduction during the War Merits Conferment Ceremony comes with a Smug Super shown on her face, her royal noblewoman outfit with the Silver Eagles cape, her "pleasant" tone, and to top if off, she's one of the Jerkass Silva siblings who treated low-leveled commoners differently, especially to her only sister.
  • Dark Action Girl: Subverted. Despite the fact that she has the tendencies to toy with her enemies and mock Noelle for her uncontrolled magic, Nebra fights for the good side.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: We first see her accompanying her brother Nozel to the entrance exam, watching in the background.
  • Graceful Ladies Like Purple: Inverted. She wears a purple cape and is a refined, yet bitchy, royal.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: She gets stabbed by Kivn's compass needle. She gets better by getting healing soon after.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Nebra had messed with Noelle for years, but she stopped doing so after witnessing her sister's growth of controlling her Water Magic properly (although, she has not seen to acknowledging her for this, nor apologizing to her for being a Big Sister Bully yet). Regarding her brothers, she respects them as they are her squadmates of the Silver Eagles, and they protect the Clover Kingdom together.
  • Lethal Chef: The official guidebook stated that she is the fifth worst chef.
  • Logical Weakness: Wind can blow away Nebra's Mist Magic (after all, she is the only member of the Silva family whose type of Water Magic appeared to be thinner in appearance).
  • Making a Splash: Same as her siblings Solid and Noelle, but in Nebra's case, it's in a form of mists instead of solid water that forms Sea Serpent Coils or Sea Dragon's Roar.
  • Master of Illusion: In the post-timeskip, she has one of her Mist Magic spells that creates a Transient Illusion.
  • Meaningful Name: "Nebura" can also be read as "Nebula", which is a mist cloud of stellar matter.
  • Noblewoman's Laugh: She laughs in a softer and condescending way to show how much of a Soft-Spoken Sadist Nebra is.
  • Self-Duplication: She can create clones of herself out of mist.
  • Smug Super: She always wears a cruel and overconfident smile, especially when she's around her little sister or peasants. She does have the skill to back it, as one of the highest ranking members of the Silver Eagles. Though given that (unlike her younger brother) she didn't even enter the Royal Knights Selection Exam, it's possible she's not actually as confident in her power as she wants everybody to believe.
  • Soft-Spoken Sadist: Elegant and refined, but the Wizard King notes that she "plays" with her enemies too much. Not to mention her treatment of Noelle.

    Solid Silva 

Solid Silva

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bc_solid_silva.png

Voiced by: Shouma Yamamoto (Japanese), Wakana Kowaka (Japanese, young), Christopher Wehkamp (English)note 

Debut: Chapter 22 (Manga), Episode 20 (Anime)

Magic Attribute: Water

A sadistic and arrogant man who took pleasure in making Noelle's life a complete hell when they were kids.

Uses Water Magic, manipulating water to form weapons and other things.


  • Alliterative Name: Solid Silva.
  • Always a Bigger Fish: Finds himself on the receiving end of this to his sister Noelle, much to his shock. Her Sea Dragon's Roar easily overpowers his water serpent, even while she was holding back.
  • Animal Motifs: Sea Serpents. He forms them using his water magic and is a sadistic guy who enjoys bullying his younger sister Noelle for years.
  • Annoying Younger Sibling: Partially inverted given that on one hand, he's a sadistic asshole to Noelle, and the other hand, his raging overconfidence that could bring shame on the Silva family (i.e. attacking Asta with his Water Magic or mocking the House Vermillion for Captain Fuegoleon's injured state) greatly irritated Nozel.
  • Big Brother Bully: He deserves a special mention due to his sadism. In a flashback, he's seen being a complete Jerkass to Noelle, which includes him breaking her toys just because. By the time of the Royal Knights Arc, however, it leads to his downfall when he insists on fighting Noelle who has become stronger than him.
  • Big Brother Instinct: In Chapter 190, he stays behind to fight the elves, allowing Noelle to escape with the other Black Bulls.
  • Break the Haughty: He can't believe that Noelle could cast a spell like Sea Dragon's Roar. When she defeats him with it, he can only mutter than it's impossible.
  • Cain and Abel: Downplayed. Solid is the Cain to Noelle's Abel, especially when they use their Water Magic against each other during the Royal Knights Selections Exam.
  • Dirty Coward: Justified. To look after Nebra and fight the elves at the raided Silva household, Solid wanted Noelle to go with Nozel and the others to face the Eye of the Midnight Sun because he finally acknowledged his younger sister's growth of using her Water Magic that surpassed his.
  • Hate Sink: Compared to Nozel and Nebra, Solid is absolutely the most terrible older sibling that Noelle had to deal with, having an absurd amount of Kick the Dog moments he inflicted on her since childhood until she gave him a well-deserved payback with her Sea Dragon's Roar during the Royal Knights Selection Exam. Not only did he make Noelle's life a tragic hell, but he also has no shame of attacking Asta for defending her during the War Merits Conferment Ceremony, not to mention mocking the House of Vermillion (his cousins from his mother's side) just for having Captain Fuegoleon heavily injured in battle.
    Solid: Huh. A one-armed squad captain. Is there any sight more pitiful? This is what the House Vermillion has become? It almost makes me ashamed to be a royal.
    Noelle: How could you say that? The captain fought bravely.
  • Ineffectual Loner: Alecdora warns him to not go off on his own immediately after being put in the same team. Noelle exploits this along with his Big Brother Bully tendencies by asking Yuno to send her to destroy Solid's team crystal, knowing he'll go after her without thinking.
  • It's All About Me: The Wizard King tries to get him to work with a team rather than solo, but his face is what sells it. He drops it after Noelle defeats him.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: After a few humbling experiences, including getting his ass handed to him in a fight, like Nozel, he learns to love Noelle as shown when he vows to surpass Noelle and tells her to come home soon after in an act of reconciliation.
  • Kick the Dog: Of all older Silva siblings, Solid's usually the worst one to Noelle, which includes breaking her toys, slapping her food away, and even worse, pouring water on her in front of everyone at the War Merits Conferment Ceremony. This was all prior to the Royal Knights Selection Exam arc.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: After he spent several years mocking Noelle for her lack of magic competence, even when she's become stronger than him, Solid gets a taste of his own medicine in the Royal Knights arc when Noelle curb-stomps him during their match and destroys the crystal he was guarding. After that, he even stays behind to cover for his sister as an act of reconciliation.
  • Leeroy Jenkins: Alecdora and the Wizard King note that Solid often has trouble remembering to work as a team rather than rushing into things by himself.
  • Making a Splash: He prefers focused water projectiles instead of Noelle's torrents and Nebra's coils.
  • Odd Name Out: The only Silva sibling whose name doesn't start with the letter "N".
  • Oh, Crap!: His facial expression during the Royal Knights Tournament once he realizes Noelle is about to defeat him. It's just priceless!
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Receives a rather brief one shortly before his aforementioned defeat by En Ringard. In it, En calls him out for being a terrible older sibling with all the abuse he inflicted upon Noelle for a very long time.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Solid is the overconfident Red Oni to his older brother's aloof Blue Oni.
  • Slasher Smile: He often displays one whenever he tends to fight with overconfidence or bully Noelle with sadism.
  • Smug Snake: Solid's default facial expression never lies that he is one among others who are weaker than him. On top of that, Solid was bound to be defeated for his overconfidence by Noelle during the Royal Knights Selection Exam.
  • Snakes Are Sinister: Downplayed. Solid is associated with snakes due to his sadism and arrogance, and fittingly, it's his signature animal attack created with his Water Magic.
  • Sore Loser: He is distraught when the Black Bulls beat them in the rankings, as well as being defeated by Noelle during the Royal Knights Selection Exams later on.
  • This Cannot Be!: He says it word-for-word to having his magic reflected back at him, forcing him to kneel from the impact. He has a similar reaction when Noelle overpowers him and destroys the crystal he was guarding.
  • Underestimating Badassery: Even after Noelle learned to control her magic, he makes the mistake of underestimating how more powerful she became and is utterly curb-stomped in their match.
  • Villain Forgot to Level Grind: Perhaps not "villain" outside of being a Jerkass, but the principles apply. When he fights Noelle during the Royal Knights Selection Exam, while he's definitely not holding back he's not really much if at all stronger than he was during his introduction. Compare that to Noelle, whose strength and control of her magic have grown exponentially since joining the Black Bulls, not to mention her fighting spirit, such that where once Solid would have easily trounced her in an actual fight the situation is now completely reversed.
  • Water Is Blue: Has a blue grimoie, mana, and wields water magic.
  • Would Hit a Girl: Solid has tormented his little sister Noelle in childhood and adulthood; he's seen verbally abusing her, slapping away the food off her plate and, in the anime, he even poured a glass of water on her head at the awards banquet. During the Royal Knights Selection Exam, he doesn't hold back against Noelle at all when they're pitted against each other in magic combat. Unfortunately, his best isn't good enough, as Noelle brutally pays him back for all the years she's suffered under him.
