Silvertree is generally considered to be the first fully-gifted Healer of the Isle. This very tall, slender elf would prefer to present an air of cool control: in truth, she's just as passionate and hot-tempered as her sister, with an unfortunate tendency to hold a grudge. Under some circumstances, she would be quite capable of using her powers to make someone's life utterly miserable. She's not generally tempted, however, since she knows perfectly well that her uncle Farseeker, together with the lifemated Eldests, is quite capable of blocking any such misuse of her talents.

Summer-green eyes meet gray, and it's almost instant love as well as Recognition. There's only one problem.
