Silvenia has a very complex personality that consists of many different facets, she shows off a different face of her personality depending on the situation that she finds herself in. She can be extremely cruel or very gentle, ruthless or kind, it all depends on whom is she interacting with. To her enemies Silvenia is the feared Death of Magic, an enemy to the world, a person that commits war crimes for fun, someone who uses nearly any tactic possible as long as it hurts people who oppose her and her people and revels in the torment of her enemies. Silvenia loves war to the point that she calls herself the purest incarnation of it. That part of her personality stands in contradiction to her other one that is driven by noble goals. Silvenia genuinely cares for her people and is willing to fight for them. She uses her magic tirelessly for their betterment, constantly working to provide the Demons with various necessary goods and utilities that they would be otherwise lacking. Among her faces there's one more, the one she shows to her friends.
