Dr. Genara Silva

Core Drive

Fix the chlorine crisis. The city is dying and she knows how to stop it — if the people who own the cure would let her.

Arc

BOOK 01

A Flora Industries scientist on the verge of a discovery the corporation would rather bury. She has to decide whether a career is worth more than the people her work could save.

Wounds

  • grew up in Old Arcadia's crumbling tenements
  • works inside the machine that caused the problem she's trying to solve

Contradiction

Works for Flora Industries while secretly devoted to the people Flora exploits

Voice

"It's a foundation. They could reverse collapse, save lives, not just pad accounts."
"I won't let them bury this."

Appearance

Medium-statured. Luminous warm brown skin. Short, natural close-cropped hair, textured and clean. High, defined cheekbones. Calm, intelligent dark eyes with a steady gaze that holds more than it reveals. Usually in a white high-collar lab top. Sleeves rolled up in the field, forearms often smudged with soil from trial work. Moves with quiet, purposeful intensity, never rushing, always precise.
