OVA
Description
Silky, also called Silver Lady, began existence as a banshee whose entire clan perished. Left wandering and fading into sea foam, Spriggan discovered her. He guided her to a lit home occupied by a Victorian-era widow, transforming her into a Silky—a household brownie fairy. This metamorphosis altered her appearance, granting shorter blonde hair concealed under her signature bonnet. She served that household for generations, subtly assisting the sightless widow. During the widow's travels, Silky observed and mastered cooking techniques and international recipes, while Spriggan periodically checked on her.
Elias Ainsworth later acquired the home, and Silky continued as housekeeper. Her duties encompassed comprehensive housekeeping: cooking traditional British and international dishes, sewing, pet-grooming, and night watch. She employed housekeeping magic to seasonally alter the home's environment—modifying walls or adding carpets for warmth. Typically silent and stoic, she avoided idle chatter but expressed emotions situationally: contentment when residents ate her meals, worry during Chise Hatori's collapses or absences, devastation when Chise nearly died creating fairy ointment, and clear protectiveness over Chise near perceived threats like Simon. She occasionally displayed humor through small pranks, like sewing hearts into clothing.
Her attachment to Chise proved particularly strong, possibly influenced by Chise's Sleigh Beggy nature. Silky doted on her, preparing meals and providing comforts like blankets during recoveries. When Chise collapsed for two weeks, Silky's concern drove her to attempt leaving the house—an action normally beyond her capacity, hinting at innate limitations or fear of abandonment. This boundary was inconsistently observed, as she later ran outside to cover Chise with a blanket during an emergency. Her history with the widow inspired her tradition of preparing feasts on days featuring rainbows, honoring past memories while nourishing her current family.
Spriggan remained a protective figure, considering her "a child" and maintaining oversight. Silky adhered strictly to brownie customs, refusing payment and accepting only a nightly cup of cream left by the fireplace as gratitude. Her Scottish origins and height of 157cm were documented in supplementary materials.
