Silver Wolf

Biodata

Appearance

• Build: Petite and shorter than Lin Shuang, who crouches so Silver Wolf can fasten her earring 73.
• Complexion: Very fair, described as porcelain-white without appearing sickly 72.
• Hair and headwear: A curled ponytail and a distinctive headpiece 73 208.
• Clothing: A choker, black shoulder straps, and fishnet stockings appear in her described outfits 52 72.
• Contract token: A blue gemstone earring worn on her right ear. Her ears are not pierced, so the accessory uses its adaptive clip-on mechanism 73.
• Game avatar: In an interstellar warfare game, she wears a commander uniform with a short skirt and leather boots 226.

Personality

Silver Wolf treats the universe as a game and places considerable importance on winning. Her anger over Lin Shuang’s “Dad” jokes comes less from the supposed relationship than from the humiliating loss behind it. When defeated at racing, she repeatedly extends their match format rather than concede 23 54.

She is boastful, mischievous, and quick to retaliate against teasing. Her revenge ranges from simulated bombardments to editing embarrassing screenshots. She also takes pride in her online title, explaining that the community voted for it rather than treating it as an embarrassing self-appointed name 32 51 207.

Her abrasive manner often conceals genuine attachment. She values Lin Shuang as a rare opponent who can keep pace with her, arranges time for Firefly to join their games, and brings equipment for two when meeting Lin Shuang for their contract. Kafka observes that this is the first time Silver Wolf has taken a friend so seriously 23 54 74 79.

Outside missions, she spends much of her time online and dislikes unnecessary outings. Intimate attention leaves her noticeably flustered, but she still interprets embarrassment competitively: while Lin Shuang handles her earring, she refuses to stop because doing so would feel like defeat 72 74 103.

Abilities & Skills

Aether Editing

Silver Wolf uses Punklorde’s reality-editing techniques to manipulate physical properties and move through data-like effects 33 207 208.

• Teleportation: Opens pixel-style portals, sends portal links through phones, and transports herself or others between locations 71 74 111 133.
• Mass alteration: Increases her own mass while sitting on Lin Shuang, making herself far heavier than her size would suggest 208.
• Evasive movement: Lin Shuang would struggle to catch her while she uses Aether Editing 73.
• Personal rather than cartridge-granted power: She explains that reality editing comes from the hacker, not simply from possessing an Aether Game Cartridge 207.

Projections and Remote Avatars

Silver Wolf creates lifelike projections that can interact physically by adding collision data. She also operates a miniature version of herself as Lin Shuang’s follower 32 99 109.

• Physical interaction: Her projections can strike, pin down, and otherwise make contact with Lin Shuang 32 52.
• Simulated combat: Reproduces Kafka and Sam’s appearances and stages attacks with adjustable destructive force 31 32 51 52.
• Remote companionship: Uses a projection to play mahjong and remain at Lin Shuang’s home while continuing to grind games 99.
• Follower avatar: Guides Lin Shuang through Herta Space Station, attacks enemies with Prometheus, and attempts to restrain a Trampler with a rope 109.
• Limits: Projections cannot reproduce the original person’s abilities, such as Kafka’s Word Spirit. The miniature avatar also has limited processing power 32 112.

Hacking and Digital Manipulation

Silver Wolf penetrates security systems, alters audiovisual data, and creates specialized control programs 105 109 110 140.

• Security intrusion: Examines access logs, searches station terminals, unlocks restricted doors, and hacks the device containing the Stellaron 109 110.
• Identity concealment: Alters Lin Shuang’s voice and image to prevent recognition during the space station incident 109.
• Surveillance interference: Infects an Azur Star city’s surveillance network so footage of Kafka is replaced 140.
• Puppet control: Produces stickers that block a Herta Puppet’s tracking signal and allow it to respond to Lin Shuang’s voice commands 105 128.
• Image editing: Turns Lin Shuang’s saved screenshots of her embarrassed expression into mosaics 207 208.
• Limits: Herta Puppets operate on a separate system; locating one would require a broader station takeover than her available time permits. Herta and Screwllum also successfully outmaneuver her during a later intrusion 111 207.

Gaming

Silver Wolf is a top-tier player across multiple genres, including immersive combat games, racing games, and fleet-based warfare 12 23 226.

• Defeats Lin Shuang’s custom greatsword character within two minutes in their first immersive PvP match 12.
• Recognizes Lin Shuang as one of the few players capable of genuinely competing with her 23.
• Manually commands a fleet while simultaneously conversing with Lin Shuang; her presence discourages other players from attacking Lin Shuang 226.
• Can still lose: Lin Shuang’s new driving skill produces four consecutive victories against her 23.

Physical Limitations

• Her physical combat skills struggle against Lin Shuang, and chasing her around a room quickly leaves Silver Wolf exhausted 73.
• Lin Shuang’s weakening flames and binding threads render her unable to use a prepared escape method during their later confrontation 209.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Prometheus — A weapon shown with both a barrel and a retractable blade. Silver Wolf can materialize it in her hand and uses it during attacks and retaliatory chases 32 52 73.
• Aether Game Cartridge — A chip used by Punklorde hackers in reality editing. Each hacker writes a unique cartridge; its importance lies in its recorded contents rather than an independent ability to grant powers 207.
• Gaming equipment — Handheld consoles, controllers, and immersive glasses. She brings enough equipment for two players to her contract meeting with Lin Shuang 23 32 79 208.
• Azure gemstone earring — One of a matching pair supplied by Lin Shuang’s system after their registration. Despite initially saying she would not wear it normally, Silver Wolf is later shown wearing it at the Hunters’ residence 72 73 133.
• Signal-blocking and control stickers — Custom-made items delivered to Lin Shuang for use on a Herta Puppet 105 128.

Relationships

• Lin Shuang — Gaming rival, close friend, and legally registered partner. Their rivalry develops through trash talk, retaliatory pranks, regular gaming sessions, and an accidental first kiss. Lin Shuang’s system records Silver Wolf’s affection as 55 after their racing rivalry and 66 after registration 23 24 72 73 103.
• Kafka — Fellow Stellaron Hunter and frequent mission partner. Kafka teases her about Lin Shuang, notices her growing attachment, and questions her after the contract ceremony 23 74 75 110.
• Firefly / Sam — Fellow Hunter whom she brings into Lin Shuang’s gaming circle. Silver Wolf helps with Firefly’s outings, worries about her Penacony plans, and recruits a Masked Fool for her sake 54 83 133 205 226.
• Elio — Mission planner whose scripts govern her operations. She follows his instructions concerning the marriage contract and refuses to disclose information he specifically forbids her to share 23 51 71 226.
• Qingque — Joins her and Lin Shuang for mahjong on the Xianzhou 99.
• Herta — Hacking adversary. Silver Wolf interferes with her puppet systems and later loses game-account data after being outmaneuvered by Herta and Screwllum 128 207.
• Screwllum — Hacking rival whom she has previously battled online. His refusal to give her the match she wants contributes to her frustration during the account-loss incident 127 207.
• Sparkle — Shares portions of the Script involving Firefly with her and invites her to Penacony for Firefly’s sake 224 226.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Online Contact and Identity Reveal

Elio assigns Silver Wolf to contact Lin Shuang online. Lin Shuang initially mistakes her for a devoted Silver Wolf fan, provoking her with trash talk while they compete. Silver Wolf nevertheless enjoys having an opponent who can match her skill 11 12 23.

Their racing wager leaves Silver Wolf facing repeated defeats and Lin Shuang demanding to be called “Dad.” Silver Wolf later confronts her through physically interactive projections, confirms her username, and examines Lin Shuang’s unusual greatsword. She removes a concealed music storage card and announces an upcoming mission with Kafka at Herta Space Station 23 32 33.

Contract with Lin Shuang

Silver Wolf offers a nominal marriage arrangement in exchange for Lin Shuang helping the Hunters when opportunities arise. Further teasing triggers a simulated bombardment and an angry declaration that Lin Shuang will marry her, followed by an embarrassed retreat 51 52.

On Elio’s advice, she arranges for the contract to be completed in reality rather than in a game, forging identities for their visit to a remote planet. Registration updates Lin Shuang’s system relationship to Partner and awards a matching pair of earrings 71 72.

Their attempt to help each other wear the earrings turns into a tussle and an accidental kiss. Silver Wolf’s shouted “memory-erasing technique” does not erase anything, and she leaves before using the gaming equipment she had brought for them 73 74 79.

Silver Wolf later discovers that the contract has given Lin Shuang a teleportation-only ability resembling Aether Editing. Lin Shuang cannot explain its underlying mechanism, prompting Silver Wolf to question how her contract-based power works 86.

Herta Space Station Operation

Silver Wolf prepares signal-blocking and control stickers for Lin Shuang before the station operation. During the attack, she accompanies Lin Shuang remotely through a chibi avatar while working with Kafka to locate the hidden Stellaron 105 108 109.

She unlocks the chamber, hacks the Stellaron’s containment device, and monitors data during Kafka’s instructions to Stelle. After leaving, her follower avatar continues guiding Lin Shuang and investigates the Trampler transformed by Lin Shuang’s Riding skill 110 111 112 113.

Companionship Between Missions

Silver Wolf remains part of Lin Shuang’s daily life through games, messages, portals, and occasional mahjong. When Firefly accepts an invitation intended for her, Silver Wolf wonders whether she has become a stand-in, but still opens the portal for Firefly 99 133.

She privately looks at photographs of Firefly and Lin Shuang’s resort trip and avoids interrupting their time together. Later, after promising to play following her mission, she blocks Lin Shuang for one system hour when Lin Shuang replies that she may be busy 159 176.

Lost Accounts and Rematch

Silver Wolf attempts to obtain a Punklorde game cartridge from Herta Space Station but is outmaneuvered by Herta and Screwllum. Her effort to restore her lost account data fails, leaving her grinding a new character when Lin Shuang joins her 206 207.

Lin Shuang’s teasing prompts Silver Wolf to censor her screenshots, forcibly disconnect her from the game, and visit her in person. After Silver Wolf increases her mass to pin Lin Shuang down, Lin Shuang retaliates with weakening flames and binding threads, preventing her escape 207 208 209.

Penacony and Firefly’s Script

Silver Wolf shares selected Script information about Firefly with Sparkle. When Lin Shuang questions her directly, she explains that Elio has added an explicit prohibition against telling Lin Shuang anything about the Script 224 226.

She does confirm that she invited a Masked Fool for Firefly’s sake, while withholding the precise purpose 226.
